MR. HUGH McRAE'S LETTER Inconsistencies and Evidence Regard ing Committee's Dealing Question Becoming an Interesting Com-- plication in the State. ' . v v ; (Specia; Star Telegrarrf.7 - Raleigh, N. C, July 8- Commission er S.

After talking with all mem bers of the committer recently, I am of the opinion that all of them are in clined to prefer Willard especially on account of the : type of the . soil, as more representative of the whole trucking belt. ! V : The very liberal offer made by Wfl mingtbn tempted them and they were desirous tof getting the sense of the East Carolinatruckers. . For that pur pose, they ? called the conference at Wallace. This - conference, . Commis sioner Patterson says, Teajly threw no fight on the situation, the committee being practically a tie in that Presi dent Hill, of the Truckers' Assocla tion, as - chairman of the - executive committee, while he did not vote, real; J tyiavored Willard, so that there were in reality three of .the committeemen for Wilmington and three for Willard. In view of this situation, the State Board '.and -special committee which has the matter in hand with power to aet, de not feel that they were helped out of the dilemma at all by the Wal lace conference, State Horticnlturist Hume, under whose direction the farm Is to be cultivated, is known to-be decidely in favor of the - Willard place. It further, develops that Wil mington parties really want more a "model" than an' "experiment" farm and the farm the State Board has pro vided to establish is purely experimental- . This will be against Wilmington in the final disposition of the matter. It looks now like the farm win cer tainly remain at Willard unless tier is yet more weight brought to bear on the Wilmington side of the balance, Edrtur of the Star,' Wilmington, C Gentlemen: If in your opinion the information contained in 'the following letter should -have a bearing on the action of the Board of Agriculture In the location of the Test Farm, I should be glad to have you publish it. This is in no sense a personal' mat ter, and I agree with' Commissioner Patterson that it is unnecessary to attach importance to private views, but as Mr. Patterson has referred to the letter in a public meeting, and as the letter deals only .with facts, it seems that the time has come to let the public understand the situation; Wilmington should not be discredit ed in this matter either from a stand point of quality of soil, or from that of the reasonableness of the request for the location of the Test Farm here. , Yours respectfully, HUGH MACRAE. Wilmington, N. C, July 6, 1905. Hon. S-' L. Patterson, Commissioner of ACTicultnre. Raleigh, N. C. . Dear Sir: In censidering all of the facts which have come before me dur ing the past Winter and Spring in re gard to the location of a Test Farm in the trucking . region, 'I feel that through some cause and from some source unknown to me a very serious injustice has-been done to-the section around Wilmington, and to the group of .citizens in Wilmington, who have been advocating the location of the farm here. , . - . In; the first easel because It ; has been frequently stated, and copied in newspapers In other parts" of the State; that Wilmington has not soil which is sufficiently i rich ; and , in the second case, because there has been an evi dent attempt to make it appear that the citizens of Wilmington were ask ing" for something which was unrea sonable to expect at the hands or your Department. Knowing the facts to be aulte the contrary in both cases, feel that it is unfair for this impres sion to be allowed to exist, when your Department is - in full : posession of facts.' which I personally know have been furnished you, to absolutely con trovert both of these points. I am further forced to take this" po sition because the Governor ot the State was advised by your Department tnat we -ua not nave tne iajiu a wm mlngton. and he volunteered this In formation to- the writer, -coupled with the statement that he was given to un derstand by your Department that that was theonly reason why. the farm was not located here.. . . -- " -'. In. placing the following - facts be fore you,: I vwill ;. only make - state ments which can . be proven - by relia ble witnesses."' - . : ; - : Mr.- Hume first wrote to me, as' understood with the authority of the Committee, 'that three points : would be considered in the selection: ? , Land, AccessibUIty, and vPrice." " PRICE. In this direction, Wilming; ton" has done-far more than any other locality.'. They, have offered 200 acres ot land, which is worth not less than $15,000, and can be sold at that prios for one-tenth ' of "that sum, - or $1,500, the County, City and Individuals sub scribing : the difference. - , .': :-' We have offered to Mr. Hume tracts of land of undisputed quality as a gift; and. agreed -further where lands were not cleared, : to - clear ' and ditch, them free of charge; 'so that they would be ready' for -cultivation These latter tracts were turnea aown Dy mm only i because he said they, were too uniform in quality of sou;; and because he stat ed s that . the - Farm , should contain a variety of soils. vvxt" st 1 LUCAfiON.-r-As to locauon;' anyone who will take a railroad map of North Carolina can see that the Garrell Farm is easily accessible to every part of the trucking, belt, and is really the only place which- is easily ? accessible to truckers living on each of the five rail-4 roads traversing eastern,. North -Carolina. - ' ' '"ni. , - LAND. It - Beems v that different members: ; ot your Committee had somewhat different ideas about- land. When the Committee first visited Wil mington they were shown the County 1 tract, near smith's Creek;" which Mr. . Hume, ' at the time jof his previous vfsii, thought might do.. But the Com mittee, on making a closer examina tion, decided -that it:Would not. - But the Committee at ' that time were shown the Garrell Place from the road, and they said if we could offer them that they- would "take it. Of course, it: maybe? said that this -was not in regular meeting and, - therefore. - not final and binding; but the point is that Mr.; Kilgore, who was present; saw the rolling chacter of the farm and could judge. of its Characteristics so far as topography was concerned.- -The mem bers ot the Wilmington . committee stated that It " was . unfair to ask tor land , like that, which was worth at least $100 per acre, in competition with land in the country, which.- was not worth over-110 . per acre. - We had no idea of" being so fortunate as to'se-; cure - the plaw, and so dismissed the question at. that tlxa:;' -h:.i;i Whe we feundV j&ter..ttiat the Com- orittee did not seem to giy what- weHoye''aid tw considered due importance to location, and price; but laid especial stress on land, we took' the , steps necessary to get the Garrell Place, and what we con sidered-the piek.of the 'land of the Garrell Place, for them, with the re sults lieretofore stated. " -; Before offering them ? the land, so that there would be no mistake, we had the land examined by several soil' experts and had them make for us a written report, and maps showing the different types of soil, and showing the land to have a clay subsoil, and ther different -depths of the clayv This re port was sent to Mr. Hume, at his request. . ' " By this time the Committee had about decided on a farm at Willard and as we were anxious that the farm should at least be located on the Wel- don-road, and other sections were offering- cash bonus for the location of the farm, whereas Willard, which was being considered, and wasinot in a position to offer such bonus, we offered thaf a subscription of $Lrt0 would be made for the Willard location, pro vided that location would be decided upon, and then in the event bt our-be- ing able to show good land at Wilming ton the Committee would do what they had ; frequently repeated was - their wish to do, that is, select Wilmington. On this- understanding; and based on the. report sent to him; Mr. Home made an appointment to visit the Gar rell Farm, and as he had been doing J the examining for the Committee there was every reason to suppose that this examination was to be made in good faith and in accordance with the un derstanding " of our subscription. In the meantime, just before Mr. Hume came to Wilmington, it was found that the Willard farm which had been considered could not be obtained. - So when Mr. Hume; arrived there was nothing before the Committee which stood in any way ahead of the Wil mington proposition. tJp to that time Willard having been the choice of the Committee, with the . understanding that we could substitute if we could show the land, when Willard dropped out, it made it almost a clear case for us, if .we could show the land. Mr. Hume spent the morning with our ex- berts.and ithMrr QarreH -aad'th writer, , went "over . every part of the proposed tract, and we bored into every part with an auger, and at every single boring made we louna a sua clay subsoil, varying in depths in the different parts ot the tract lrom a lew inches to 30 inches. This we had been led to suppose was 'the ideal condi- tionand it had been from. Mr. Hume s remarks on a previous occasion that we had been led to suppose this, and from- the remarks of the Committee when they looked over the Garrell Place from the road After, the "examination Mr. Hume, just before getting into -the surrey, turned to me and saia, i approve mis place, and will recommend it to the Committee." -1 replied. "Then that set- ties it," as I knew that there was hotn me nresented more interesting than this DroDosition. Mr. tiume . repuea. "No, not necessarily, out i minis my recommendation will have . great weight." Mr. Hume afterwards wrote that he did recommend the' farm to the Committee, and that the Com mittee came to a tie vote. ' - It 'seems from a conversation -re centiy had , with you and Mr. Kilgore tmt rtre was not a tie vote in- an official sense; that Mr. McCalnim who was one of the four first visiting m lnnda. was not nresent:' that Mr. Kil gore,- from his own statement, declin-' ed to accept Mr. Hume's report, be cause he had seen the County tract r,n thfl other side of the road and had not been satisfied with that, and that he caased Mr. Hume to write a. report to be submitted to a later meeting of the Committee which was absolutely unfavorable to the Garrell Farm.'. He fnrthor Advocated that an attempt be made to get another place near Wil lard.
