- Transcribed from letter with negative: A tobacco farmer tries his hand at turkey raising; J.L. Stocks, owner, large farm in what is known as the Cox's Mill section, on Greenville-New Bern Highway approximately nine miles southeast of Greenville, for several years cultivated cotton and tobacco as principal money crops, decided to try raising turkeys on quite an extensive scale for an experiment. Picture shows several of these fine birds from one of his flocks of 600 birds. Mr. Stock's turkey ranch is owned and operated by himself and his tender, Fountain Smith.
