To Fruit Growers of Two
Countieg; First Station
Set Up In the State
At a recent meeting of the spe
cial committee of the Brushy
Mountain Fruit Growers associ
ation for the scientific research
station to be eetablished plans
were made to collect funds for the
erection of a modest building to
house the station and to be used
as a labratory and insectry.
'The money appropriated by tbe
last legislature for the orchard
research station is limited and
not sufficient to cover cost of
the building In addition to the
desired research work and the
fruit growers of the district are
anxious that everything be fur
nished to make the project a big
success.
The location of the building
has not, been definitely decided
and must have the approval of
both the state horticulture de
partment aud the extension serv
ice. It will, however, be located as
centrally and conveniently as pos
sible to the apple growers of the
Brushy Mountains In both Wilkes
and Alexander counties. Pover
and water must'be available and
;t must be located on an all-wea
ther road so that fruit growers
may at all time# have access to
the sUtion and the experienced
men who will be In charge. Sav-
eral building, sites ;^ve besa of
fered asl donations to the
and the building to be erected
will be comparatively Inexpen-
Ive.
The project sponsored by the
Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers
in cooperation with the state de-
''ar'.ment of agrioiiUure and the
exttusion service slioiilcl he of im-
meiuurable beuelil to orchardlsts
in the Brushy Mountain district ^
aud those throughout the state j
I who will also benefit in that find- ■
iuj,o w.ll be made known to an]
interested fruit growers. |
A competent, trained and ex-j
perienced man will be placed in,
charge o£ the station. He will j
make a study of the apple dlseas-,
es and insects of the district and
will be accessible the year arcund
to fruit growers in solving their
particular orchard problems.
It is pointed out that the
neighboring state of Virginia has
many such stations scattered ov
er its apple growing district but
this is the first time any project
of this kind has been attempted
in North Carolina and it is hoped
that the fruit growers will take
such advantages and show such
improvement that the two-year
appropriation may be made per
manent.
D. S. Broyhill, of Pores Knob,
is chairman for Wilkes, and H.
S. Deal, also of Pores Knob, Is
chairman for .Alexander bn the
committee to collect funds for
the building to house the re
search project.
