Abstract:
A small island, known as Plymouth, lies just south of Ocracoke Island. Just fifteen miles long and two miles wide, this small land mass once served as the abode of some 1,500 local sea pilots and their families and was essential for guiding sailing craft in and out of the inlet. Currently inhabited by 13 elderly persons, including Tom Bragg and Jody Styron, Plymouth is without roads, commerce, and is connected to the mainland via one phone in an abandoned Coast Guard station as well as through a supply boat that transfers mail and necessities. Plymouth is perhaps the most isolated locality in North Carolina.

Abstract:
A bulk curing method tested in 1954 and 1955, barnless curing involves the shredding of tobacco and the absence of induced heat during the yellowing process. If accepted by smokers, barnless curing will revolutionize the curing process.
