general and special committees for the
various work that would come before it.
May not then offer some suggestions
in the matter, and not seem too bold or
egotistical?
[ see many men who all seem to have
firm views as to the cultivation, fertili-
zation and successful management of
fruit and vegetable culture. But it seems
too bad that there should be so much dis
agreement in those views. Our advo-
eating this and another that method,
and each positively certain he is right
and all the rest wrong.
Now if these men come together, and in
a systematic way compare notes and re-
suits, great good might come from it. l
am told that q man coming to this State
must serve a certain time and sustain
certain losses before he can make a success
of growing fruit. This isnot strange when
every man he meets has different
method to advise. The poor fellow soon
comes to the point that the only way
he may know what he wants is to set
about series of individual experiments,
or abandon his attempt and leave the
country in disgust.
1t is self evident that there can be but
one right way for this work Different
locations, soils, climate, &C., will necess-
arily vary this right way to suit the var
ious circumstances. But the point is, the
sooner this one way can be known the
sooner this great loss OF time and money
in guessing, and trying this and that,
will be stopped.
! know of no better or cheaper way to
get at all this Than in Just such an organi-
zation as this.
The State society, while it is important
for it's more general work, cannot as well
determine for the several counties, as
these counties can for themselves besides,
only few can or will attend the State
meetings, while if there is a local society
in each county, it can much more under
standingly grapple with any local trouble.
Was there a county society in full organi-
zation how easy would it be to gather
and make creditable exhibit OF the pro-
ducts of the county at the exposition now
openingi theState, through it's auspices.
Besides, there are an endless number OF
questions that could be discussed, expert
ments made and reported and referred
to appropriate committees, and con-
clusions of infinite value to all be reached
that would remain unsettled and disputed
for years to come.
would recommend that this county
society be a branch OF the State society,
and work on all general questions in
harmony with the parent society. All
proceedings OF the county society should
become a part of the State report. /

II GOOD SUGGESTION.

The grounds of the Edenton Agricul-
tural and Fish Fair are central and
admirably located, buildings beautiful
and ample, hotel accommodation the
very best, the Norfolk Southern R. R.
passing through the most fertile North
Eastern Counties, the Tarboro, William
ston & Plymouth R. R. connecting
directly with the Roanoke Steamers
running directly to Edenton, enabling
the people of the Roanoke Valley to
bring their products directly to our
grounds. The Albemarle Steam Nav
igation Co. offers every convenience to
the Chowan and Black alter sections,
the Pantego R. r. and Steamer Haven
Belle give that section the best accom-
modations and with the AlbemarIe and
Croetan sounds every part of the South
Eastern Counties can find easy access
to our doors. Possessing the above
advantages, suggest that we change
the name of our association to THE
EASTERN North CAROLINA Agricultural
and Fish Association" and that a meet
ing of the Stockholders be called early
in February, at which time this matter
be thoroughly discussed and voted on.
In the event of a change think it best
to appoint the Directors of the several
departments at this meeting-no two
from any one county, and invite their
cooperation, and that we sell additional
stock. not exceeding 20 shares in any
county.
Hoping to see this matter fully dis
cussed in the papers of our section, am
