4. Up-to-date Dairying in Tidewater Section. Four miles south of Wilmington, N. C., in the center of a level and well tilled acreage, stands a modern and completely equipped dairy which offers a practical and emphatic refutation of the idea that dairying can not be successfully operated in the South Atlantic States. Its owner and manager, Mr. A.O. McEachern, was a Wilmington lad, who, in the days when his family funds needed replenishing, decided to give his attention to cows. (A.R. Hale, Hoard's Dairyman, May 9, 1913; via Google Books) (Submitted on January 19, 2025, by Duane and Tracy Marsteller of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.)
