The Importance of q Branch Farm in
This Part of the State
Maj. G. u. Ryals, director from the
First congressional district of the state ex-
detrimental station, is taking an active in
terest in the movement that is expected to
result in great practical benefit to the
farmers OF Georgia. Maj. Ryals is himself
one Of the most successful farmers in this
part of tie state, and is well qualified TO
represent It's interests in the enterprise
about to be established.
At the meeting of the directors in Atlanta
two weeks ago lois were drawn TO deter
mine the length Of terms they should
serve Major Rya,s drew a short term, bat
there is hardly a doubt that his efficiency
will insure his reappointment by the gov
erDor at the close Of his present term of
service, There is a good deal Of rivalry
among the towns Of Central Georgia to Sc
cure the location Of the station. The direc.
tors will receive proposals until April 9
from localities which desire the station
The law requires that 'in selecting a site
for said station, the board shall have refer
ence TO the central portion Of the state and
the accessibility Of the place offered, che
healthfulness of the locality, and the
adaptability of the land to Represent the
variety Of soils In this state. All lands,
buildings, money or other thing Of value
that may be acc pied by the board will be-
come the absolute property OF the state
Macon, Rome, Newman, Athens and half
dozen other towns want the station and
are ready to offer inducements to secure II.
The directors will decide upon location at
their April meeting
The language of the act, which requires
the station to be located with reference to
the central part of the state, bars expert
ment in some Of the most important crops
gro wn in Georgia among them the upland
and lowland rice crops, sea island cotton
and the truck crops, the growing of which
is becoming one Of the most valuable agri-
cultural industries in the south, and also
experiment in the improved methods Of
drainage All of these interests are located
east Of a line drawn through Emanuel
county to st. Mary's Maj. Ryals i, of the
opinion that further legislation is necessary
and must be had in connection with
the present law 50 as to secure to the move
ment the greatest possible practicability.
Representative Calvin, who framed the act
and who was in Savannah this week on his
way from the Brunswick convention TO his
home, in Augusta, is Of the same opinion.
Maj. Ryals' idea is to have a branch
station, either at Savannah, or somewhere
in the eastern part Of the state, for expert
mert on those crops which are not grown in
any other section. The matter will be dis
cussed by the directors at their April meet
ing.
