EOD CF AGRICULTURE Exhlblta Are to Plaee an4 Male an Attractive Appearance. Flowers ; and Houseplants in Great Profusion and Beauty. Last winter wen It was affnoun'ced that "the State Horticultural ; fair would be held in New Bern a good many people asked whats that, and why is it to be held here. Now that, the Bbow ia on the query is almost as common but hundreds may now satis fy their curiosity, r And to say that a surprise awaits them but. expresses the matter feebly when for every one who sees the great and varied array of the best products of the bush and vine they will open their . eyes in amazement It is to be taken into consideration also that the season for the culture of vegetables has been extremely late, and under ordinary circumstances both i vegetables and flowers have not matured , perfectly. And yet from the array, of vegetables, plants flowers and fruit on exhibition at the Farmers Tobacco warehouse. This show goes far to establish the claim long held by the patriotic sous of eastern Carolina that this section is the garden spot of the state -and Craven county the particular good place of the entire section. - In fact, it is the Eden of the whole state. There Is none that can surpass it. The weather yesterday "although fair was cool but the air was invigo rating and that Was a long lead in the enjoyment of the day. At about ,1 10 o'clock a procession was formed at the Intersection of Broad and Middle, streets, which marched to the ware house by the route marked out in the Journal yesterday. The procession was composed of the Knights - of Pythias band, naval reserves and car riages containing speakers and citi zens. When the warehouse was reach ed the crowd assembled in front of the speakers stand where Mayor Jas. A. Bryan made the address of wel come. He said it was a matter of peculiar pleasure to' welaome the peo ple to an occasion like the present one and the people of this section are to be congratulated for the very ex cellent character of this exhibition. He referred to the fair which was held here a few years ago and said it was the most magnificent ever held in this city. It Jaid the foundation stones of the present prosperity and gave Craven county the reputation that she has abroad.. It was a splen did advertisement while it lived and a great calamity when it died, but its work Is going on and bearing good fruit. Railroad men who are now at work developing the resources of eastern Carolina state that the old agricultural fair of New Bern was oiie of tho best and most profitable In stitutions we ever had. What land can exceed Craven and Pamlico counties for richness of soil, Even in the western states with all their boasted fertility cannot equal this county tor the diversity, of crops or the yield of any one crop. Potatoes corn, ' peas, beans and many other crops will produce more to the acre than any place In the union. The object of this fair has not been in Craven county than any other known to most of the citizens and we wish to make a tew remarks as to the purpose of this fair and some of the things for which it stands. Mr. Bryan read the resolutions adopted by the State Horticultural Society, at Aber deen, June 29, 1906, In. which it was stated that the interests of North Car olina were so varied and diverse and covering such a long period from April to November that it was found necessary to have . two annual . fruit and vegetable fairs. One in the east ern part of the state In the sprlngand the other in the western part in the fall. These fairs are to rotate from county to county and it the commun Ity so desire the state board of agrl culture will cooperate by sending its officers and employees to discuss such topics as may be to the best Interests of the fair. Mr. Bryan spoke of the seeming lack of Interest aud that such conduct was the cause of the downfall of the farmers' fair and apathy would be the means of the discontinuance of this splendid organization, llo urged the ladies whom lie said were rcspon eiblo for the rreat mien of the firnt fair to t; l,, event ihiw f r t i ! l,nl,l (H;1 1 Ii 1 roiexs tiial.e the ii..l one terest of this fair are: the chairman, J. Van Llndley, secretary, T. Bru ner, treasurer; P. C. Reimer.i Profes gors Stevens and Hntt and Sherman. The three latter will read papers and lead in discussions. ; The exhibit of the board, which was briefly mention ed yesterday was quite ; elaborate. Aside from the many specimens , of fruit and vegetables which were pre served in alcohol, there was an ex hibit of the various woods about 100 Varieties and the minerals sand preci ous stones which Will form a part of the states' exhibit at the Jamestown exposition. The mineral feature of the state's resources has, only begun to be successfully developed.. Elegant I qualities of mica and quam were on I exhibition.' 1 .'; :"'',. -;-; .' I The exhibits of flowers "and Jplahts j were grand and beautiful andhowed (hat the cultivation in this ; depart-1 ment Is not at all lacking in New Bern and vicinity. - The . variety and beauty of the floraf exhibit tan only be appreciated by personal Inspection. Tables' were loaded with ' roses "of many kinds, and other beautiful flow ers; but the handsomest display was In the palms There were several va rieties of these. A table with a fine assortment of ferns was entered by Mrs. R. A. Damon. Mrs. James Mit chell had a fine exhibit of ferns. Mrs. John Dunn contributed larger ly to hta department by her splendid collection , of palms and decorative plants which were " very , beautiful. Among the very attractive and: artis tic shows is the table containing flow ering plants entered by Mrs. H.'.B. Holland; particularly beautiful Is her display of calla Utiles which are un- snally large. Blooming plants in; large varieties and very ? attractive appearance are entered by Miss Mamie Hay and Miss Nettle Fowler,;, A gen eral exhibit composed largely of roses In - great abundance and magnificent beauty was seen on two tables) and a circular hooth. In this collectlpn was j fine Marguerite, a flower'very simi lar to the daisy. ' ' ' ,- VEGETABLE DISPLAY. . .1- The original purpose of the fair is to exploit and advertise our trucking I Industry and to show the merits and fertility of the soil. From a commer cial point of View this Industry , is very important it is needless here to go Into the details of the business to explain how extra trains are put on the railroads and enormous cargoes are carried away on the boats to accom modate this Immense trade. It is this feature that the development of the country and its reputation abroad is most marked. - ' ' . As has been stated the season has been greatly delayed by frosts and chilling weather almost totally de stroying one crop and' causing a gen eral imperfect appearance - of the vegetables. However, the attractive and complete .exhibits of the succu lent root foods was especially allur ing to the eye. There was nothing in the line of "truck" that was not dls played. The Irish potatoes held a place of honor. . Several varieties were shown. ; Briefly stated the other principal displays were peas, beans, lettuce, cabbages, beets, asparagus, radishes, turnips, collard, cauliflow er, tomatoes, egg fruit, the latter full grown through the forcing process, and many other vegetables. The display of strawberries which took up a whole table by itself was entered by Mr. Graham Richardson. This was a tempting show and the luscious fruit was the observed of all observers. ; ; ! f Those who entered these exhibits were the principal truck growers of this sections: Hackburn and Willett; W. H. Bray, W. F. Crockett,' M. W. Cannon, J. S. McGowan and Graham Richardson. The attendance wasn't all that could be desired. 'The Interest is kindled and doubtless today many hundred will patronize the : institution . with their friends. There seems tor. have been some lack of advertising and for a state fair whatever that may mean the crowds have been very meagre. The attendance last night was fine; the dance was a brilliant event and about 25 couples participated; -there were many spectators. n .1 II IB. !

Encouraged by the few trials which have been made to propogate English Pheasants in North Carolina by private, individ uals in Randolph, Guilford and other Piedmont . counties; the State Audu bon Society has taken up the matter yith a view of experimenting on a larger scale to see if ; this valuable earns bird canffot he anceeHsfiillv in- troducedi in 'other "sections of North Carolina.

These eggs will be set under hens and every effort will be made to give the. little pheasants a start in life. At the recent session of the legislature laws were passed in these, counties absolutely prohibiting the killing of these birds for five years.; The experiment with eggs will be followed within a few months wit) several pairs of live birds which Mr. Pearson has already engaged for this purpose. They will be liberated . in large wire enclosures for the present and given freedom only when the broods of young are strong enough to run about with safety. - It this experi ment meets with success it is only the beginning of a campaign which the Audubon Society will make to estab lish in the state some of the best bird and game animals of the world. Mr. Pearson stated that this ' however, wojild not in any way interfere with present strenuous efforts being made to preserve our own native suc cess of wild birds and animals. " Clever Little Invention. Mr. Franc L. Ives of Goldsboro, is in the city exploiting a new invention which will not doubt suppfy a long felt want among the cotton farmers, ,The article is a sheet-tie, very sim ple. Made of malleable iron, small in size and light in weight It's purpose is to' grip or make a quick fastening together o fthe corners of a square clothing enveloping certain sub stances. . For ; example, instead; of packing cotton in baskets or bags, which is slow and tiresome, a square cloth can be made of old bags. Say spread it and throw the cotton loose ly upon it, then draw the corners of the cloth together upon the tie and the result is a compact package that can be easily handled ; or weighed without spilling. A spread loop is found in the top of . the tie through which the scale hook can be readily adjusted.. The operation either in making the tie or loosening it ih easy, and almost instantaneous. The little appliance is made of Mal- leable casting, is practically Inde- 1 8tructable, and can be Stalled tor ten cents each. Mr. Ives is selling coun ty rights handling the Invention.
