Kinston, May 2—The local curb market is expected to do a heavy business this spring. The market, fostered by the municipality and other agencies and patronized by hundreds of farmers and housewives, had an unusually successful fall. Sessions are held twice weekly.
The market serves as a clearing place for the country produce. Poultry, eggs, meat, vegetables, dairy products, honey, flowers, berries, and fruits are sold and bought. The market has encouraged the production of more foodstuffs on local farms, according to the management. It is supplied by farmers between Gifton and Pink Hill and Seven Springs and Trenton Eggs and fowls have been items most in demand since the establishment of the bartering exchange, two or three years ago.
