J.R. Jordan Discusses Bee Keeping, Truck Gardening in Castle Hayne, May 8, 1924

Mr. J.R. Jordan, who moved from near Chadbourn to the Castle Hayne community near Wilmington three years ago, spent Sunday here with Mr. Eli Whisett.

Mr. Jordan is extensively engaged in bee culture and trucking at Castle Hayne. He says his lettuce crop is good this year and that his peach trees have all the fruit they will bear. He is president of the North Carolina Bee Keepers association, and during his visit here he visited the apiaries of Mr. Whitsett, who has some 500 colonies of the little workers.
