Roxboro Courier Comments Upon the
Result of the Appearance of Dele
gations Before Board of Agricul
ture. Our neighbor the Roxboro Courier,
says of the appearance of the delega
tions from Granville, Person, and
Caswell, before the Beard of Agricul
ture in reference to a state experi
ment farm:
"On "Thursday morning a delegatioi
consisting of Hon. J. A. Long, Mayor
Lunsford, L. M. Carlton, W. H. Har
ris, W. F. Long, W. D. Merritt, R. B.
Holman and J. W. Noell hied them
selves away to Raleigh for the pur
pose of convincing the Board of Ag
riculture that Person County was the
place and the only suitable place in
every respect for a tobacco test farm.
We had been informed that the
Board had decided to establish such
a farm, and the delegation was just
so sure of that farm, but to our sur
prise when we reached Raleigh and
conferred a little with members of
the Board we soon learned that the
Board had not even passed on the
matter of establishing such a farm.
The' Board gave the delegations
from the counties represented, Gran
ville, Caswell and Person a hearing
at o o'clock and suggested rather a
motion introduced by Mr. Scott, a
member of the Board, was adopted
requesting the various delegations to
confine their arguments to reasons
why such a farm should be establish
ed. Upon the request of Granville,
Hon. J. A. Long was requested to ad
dress the Board giving the reason
why such a farm was needed. Mr.
Long spoke about 30 minutes and ver
clearly set forth the necessity for
such a farm. He was followed by
W. D. Merritt. Prof. F. P. Hobgood,
of Granville came next, followed by
Messrs Harrison and Kerr of Caswell
R. B. Hofljnean, who looked up the re
cords closed for this County with a
statement showing how much revenue
was received from the sale of fertili
zer tags and insisted that we were
not asking any favors, but simply ask
ing what we were entitled to.
After hearing the delegations the
Board decided that it did not have
the means to establish this farm at
this time, but we are quite sure that
it will be done and that very soon.
In a private conversation with a
member of the Board we learn that
they are very deeply interesting in
the matter and realize fully that the
tobacco industry is entitled to their
consideration and just as soon as
the money is available the farm will
be established.
We appreciate the position taker,
by the Board and only regret that
they are cramped for funds, but that
they are intelligent and honest in
their efforts, doing everything possi
ble for the bettermeut of the far
mer and how well they are succeed
ing every one who reads at all
knows, and they will give the tobac
co farmer all that is due him and
more.
That the farm will come to this
County when established we firmly
believe, for there are reasons so num
erous why this is the proper location
that our columns would not begin to
hold them were they set forth. But
in due time the Board will be thor
oughly advised of our claim"

took them that afternoon and the nex

Good Work on the Streets Done.
Chief Luther Roberts has been
doing some very good work on the
streets for the past few days. On
several important thoroughfares the
red soil has become packed to an
unusual degree with red dirt. That's
where the dust has a good time in
dry spells. The chief is looking af
ter these places and little sprinkling
hereafter will go right much farther.
While the street committee is in
the humor for such work the condi
tion of some of the crossings in the
residential parts are respectfully call
ed to its attention.
May the good work continue and
