OUR STATE FAIR.

1t will be a gratifying surprise to
the friends of the State Agricultural
Society throughout the State to say
that every premium has been paid and
all the running expenses and a pay
ment has been~made on the indebted
ness of the Society-all out of the
earnings of the last Fair. We say
that it is a surprise" for it will be
remembered that a Fair has never
been held in our State under more
disadvantageous surroundings. 1t
rained almost necessarily for three
days and nights. We heartily con
graduate President Upchurch and the
whole Society On this splendid success.
We learn that statements are soonito
be published showing how the big
crops. and yields were made which
won the premiums. This is right and
will do good. The PRoaREssryE
FARMER wants to see a ten days Fair
held next time.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-01-12

Under a ruling Of the Inter-Sta
Commerce Commission, recently made,
the railroads have Withdrawn settlers
tickets from sale. After all, it may
be better, as it will have a tendency
to discourage pauper immigration,
which is today one of the greatest
evils which threatens this country
and its government. And now that
the great food-tide has become estab-
fished, it. may add to the Golfers of
the A railroads greatly /.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-01-12
THE ANSWER.

Three weeks ago we referred to the
law, which was passed at the instance
of the Farmers convention held in
this city lastSwfhter, requiring the
Board of Agriculture to encourage
and aid in the formation Of Farmers
Institutes, and called on the Board
and Commissioner Robinson to tell
the farmers, through Duh columns,
what had been done in this direction,
and we have been favored with an
answer from Commissioner Robinson.
He sends US, through the mail, a
marked copy of the December issue of
the Bulletin, which we accept as his
official reply to u question. We
have read it carefully and are glad to
find our view as to the duty of the
Board and Commissioner under the.
law, sustained by Mr.. Robinson, but
we regret to find no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the failure of the Board
to perform that duty. We took the
position in our article that it was made
the duty of the Board, under the law,
to take the anatiatiue in establishing
Farmers Institutes in every county in
the State, that the farmers were anx-
ious to have them-that the law had
existed ten months and the farmers
desired to. know why the Board had,
not taken action in the matter. Mr..
Robinson's says he has visited all the
Institutes held except one, and speaks
in justly ~commendable terms of the
good and valuable results which must
accrue from them. But we believe,
without al exception, all the Institutes
thus far held in the State were origi-
mated and planned; by the farmers
themselves. We believe, without an
exception, that in every instance,
where Mr.. Robinson was present at
one Of these Institutes, he was invited
by the farmers.
This is not the view which the
farmers take Of the duty of the Board
under the law. 1t is certainly not'the
view of those who procured the enacts
ment Of the law. 1t is not their idea
that under the law the Board is to
wait until the farmers Of a county go
to work and get up an Institute and
send a formal invitation to the Com
missioner or other officers of the Board
to secure their aid and cooperation;
