Abstract:
Long a dish of Southern tables, bullfrog legs are becoming highly popular in metropolitan centers like New York, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, and North Carolina is highly suited to raising bullfrogs on a commercial scale. Large areas of marshland in the eastern part of the state, along with ponds statewide, are becoming home to frogs. As an example, Herbert E. Williams is busy collection bullfrogs to stock his ranch at Holly Ridge in Onslow County, North Carolina. With 10,000 frogs, Williams is ready for the leg market, and with the help of the staff of the Food Industries Section of the NC Department of Conservation and Development, they are hoping frog legs will be a thriving addition to the growing food processing industry in eastern North Carolina.

A new federal bill, HR 8282, proposes to federalize such programs and put them in the hands of the Labor Department and do away with experience rating and provide that employers pay nearly triple the current rate.

However, early Quakers went their quiet ways and flourished in the time of the industrial revolution and expanding world commerce. With a freedom of trade and voluntary efforts and funds, Quakers thrived in the new America, a legacy that continues in the current United States.
