All this means YOU." In connection with the gentleman s letter, it may be well to publish a news item respecting Mr. Kilgore s trip to Oxford, the item appearing m the News and Observer upon his re turn to Raleigh. It was: "State Chemist B. W. ivngore re turned vesterdav from Oxford, where he had a conference with a commit- ee of citizens and represenatives or the Board of Granville county Com missioners in regard to the location of a test farm in that section. The Board of Agriculture some time ago passed a resolution setting forth its purpose to establish a test farm in the old bright tobacco belt for conducting experiments with to bacco and other crops which are gen erally grown there, and which may be grown to advantage. The Count Commissioners and citizens 01 uran viiie county have been active in the matter for some time and are very anxious for the farm to be located at some point in that county. The object of Mr. Kilgore's visit was to inforbn the committee just wdiat will be needed in the way of land and other matters which would bo con sidered in selecting a location. The committee expressed its intention of bringing the matter strongly to the attention of the board at its Decem ber meeting., and having the mr.fter in such shape then that a number of sites would be offered for the farm. The Board of Agriculture will of course have in mind when it iH ,(. cided to make the location t)(. en tire area constituting the old bright tobacco belt and the claims of oii,or counties will be considered along win those of Granville county, in cuso the other counties in the belt tiLul up the matter and .make claims for SOIL MAP OF GRANVILLE ah a Federal DParte"t of g"CU'ure States That Soil MaP varanville anri Ppi-cto Will M'.rts . u . w ij. mciw.
