John H Jeffries, of the University of Florida,gardener and horticultural foreman of that in stitution, has been selected by the State Department of- Agriculture as superintendent of the state test farm, to be located at Willard, Pender coun ty. Miv "Jeffries is a man of wide ac quaintance in this field of labor, and has had fifteen years- experience In Jruck growing' and comes well pre pared, f of ''this work. Hia knowledge extends thoroughly over every line of experiment work td be carried on at the test farm. He will come to North Carolina in a few days, and .will be gin his occupation on the test farm at once. He has already resigned his position with the University of Flor Ida and has de layed coming to North Carolina until the state has entire con trol of the land at Willard. The deed has not yet been trans- fered, but the papers will be received at the department today, and it is expected that the deal will be per fected this week.. ' - . .- The site will be transformed into a modern model farm. It will have the best , system of scientific irrigation, which is practical an every farm. The immediate work on the land will be to plant the cleared land in corn, cow peas, and small acreage of cotton After these crops are provided for ad ditional land will be cleared, and prep arations will then be made for the fall and winter truck crops. Vast interest has been taken in the estblishment of:. this . test farm throughout the entire eastern coun ties, and local oils were offered from the South Carolina border counties to he Virginia line, , ... : c Tie"landchcexrforhesrfatm s between Willard, Pender county, and Wallace, Duplin , county. The farm is situated on the Atlantic Coast ine railway and a mile north of Wil- ard. It was secured from Mr. J. M. Johnson, merchant,, and posftmastfer of Willard, who has 300 acres of clay sub-soil, and in part is shell marl with n two feet of the surface. The land3 are wonderfully productive, berries and potatoes and vegetables of all kinds flourish, and the acreage of cul tivation has been incrdasetfng, but will now be greatly extended, owing to the impetus given by the test farm Willard station shipped 10,000 crates (300 crates to the car) of strawberries last year, and has barrels of white potatoes. Several small saw mills near by ship considerable lumber. The Executive " Committee of the' State Agricultural Society, at an Im portant meeting held a few days ago, decided to send the Secretary of the Fair, Colonel Joseph E. Pogue, to the north to personally select the amuse ments for the midway. Col. Pogue will leave Raleigh for Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston and the other principal northern cities in a few days, and will be away for two or three weeks. It is the inten tion of the Secretary to contract for only the ' superlative charactered at tractions, and they must be not only new and novel but original ' and In sf ructive, and up-to-date, exhibiting nothing that woud - offend the most fastidious. Colonel Pogue says there will be a large increase in the unmbre of coun ties represented this year- Tho high-' est number heretofore to exhibit at the fair has been twenty, but the Secretary has received communica-i tlons from interested parties in thirty flee counties, and these will undoubt edly be represented, besides a number of counties that have not as yet been heard from. v, The office work of the fair, authori ties is Increasing every week, and in dications now are that more space will be occupied this year than at any pre vious fair. The agricultural .contests especially are to be more generally participated in this year. MEETING r. r Hoq. , Haryey-Jofdprr, of Georgia and Mr. Smltriof South) :., . Carolina SpeaK COL. CUNNINGHAIVIO'F ; , pers6ri also present, : t : -'. 1 . Perhaps ' ?two of the best I speeches ever, delivered. In the ..county XJourt House were those of Honorable Harvey Jordon "of Georgia )President of the Cotton . Association of the of the Southern 'State and Mr. Smith of South Carolina -President 1 of the Association in.-hls State, : -The speakers : were introduced by - , - Col Cunningham of 4 Pearson county who made a few brief1 remarks. The speach of Mr Jordan was clear log! caLnd full of common sense. The endeavored to show to ;the s farmers why organizationis' so" necessary to the cotton growers. - . j f Mr. Jordan ssdd that since ' coming Into North Carolina he had Spoken to large and enthusiastic gatherings and felt tbct'intjch good had been tlone. ' He "spoke of tiiaconvention held re cently: at Ne Orl oort, anil r eoM! Yi verdict. a t: the cotton "acreage should be reduced by at least 25 per cent, and the fer- tilizer correspondingly reduced. From all accounts he is encouraged to believe that the reduction - will be at least 20 per cent and perhaps con slderably more. ' He further said when the convention met In New Orleans cotton fcas down as low as 6 cents and kept going down lower' and lower and it seamed that nothing could stop. it. However the price advanced In few days to 8 cents; and the farmers were thereby saved $25,000,000 .or $30,- 000,000. 'Hrj- ;.f I--; ' ' ;. . ..- - it So long as the farmer continues to stand alone he will be the prey of the speculator. ; ,rtllf Up to 14 cents a pound there is not a fabric of any kind that can be man ufactured that can compete j with cot ton at that price. ' : fi We have only four competitors against ottton, wool, silk, flax and foreign' cotton and where the southern farmer makes a mistake is by allowing - j , 5 home grown cotton to compete with itself. There is not a man in the South today who knows how to imarket a bale of cotton nor Is there a buyer who knows how to buy it. The buyer pays the market price, ' thle farmer Jakes it and the .price is set by spec ulators hundreds of miles away. So long as the mill people can. de press the price of your cotton and get it at a low price they are going to do it, tnd the farmer should not fall out with them for doing if, but should not Allow himself to sell at a price for which he cannot raise it. If cotton goes down to A or 5 cents per pound by the indifference of the fanner, then a lot of them Will go down on their knees at night and regret the day when they failed to give their attention to this, imporant4natter. When I leave Norh Carolina to mor row I will have been through every cotton growing state in the Union and I am satisfied that the decrease in the cotton acreage will be at least 20 per- J cent, and the reduction, in the amount of fertilizers used much greater. a Mr. Jordan explained that not beir in a proper position tottke care their cotton was the . cause of th southwestern States ; 'selling at i lis - . " ' " ' time. .sV - . , . : - ; - . They do not h-vethe ware houses necessary to care for their cropland have to pile it out in. the open with out anything under, or over it and 1 3 a result there fs a. ?-3 of C0-' or C " " - - ' - '. -.- ."; pounds from each' bala -caused 1 T molding and rotting' v - - . --. : The bankers 'who advanced he money on this cotton are . demanding that it be sold or additional securities given them v V ' . :Eery hale of Jcotton that' has gone tot the ports from the southwest has been marked lamaged and has' boAV ...... y ' - . Jf sold at some loss to the grower. :. Mr.f Smith, of- S. C, was then Intro- ''. aircedf nd in a very .pointed manner eowej. thdse "present the necessity of organization. 'rm. Mr. Smith is a cotton buyer himself and understanding the situation pret ty clearly. Mr. Smith unlike Mr. Jordan is of a rather fiery temperant and spoke in a rather firey temperant and spoke in forceful terms of the manner to be used to get out from under the control of Wall street and the speculators. He said: The cotton buyer makes just as much money out of 4' cent cot ton as he does when it is to 10 cents and the more bale you have got the more money he puts down in hl3 pocket and he don't give a d -whether you get anything or not. Both gentlemen made excellent speach es and it is to be regreted that more farmers were not present. Those few who were there were very much impressed and it "would have been worth the time of any man who grows cotton to have laid aside his work for today and been present at this' speaking. ri It may be a long time before this question will be discussed by men who have the brains and are as thoroughly familiar., with the situation as were these gentlemen, today. The short talk by Col. Cunningham was very interesting and to the point This gentleman is a friend , of the farmers anl has striven hard to up lift him and better his condition. ANEW COMER TO SAUSBURY Mr. W. A. Robinett, recently with the Miller Dry Goods Co., of Char lotte,' one of the largest department stores In this Sta(e, has accepted - A position with the hustling Spot Cash Store. , ; Mr. Robinette. is a young man of experience and energy well known by a host of friends who regret his loss to Charlotte.
