The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-08-15

y MODEL FARM.-lf Col. Burgwvn
has not model farm in his place
near town already. it is only matter
of a few years when he will have one.
He has made decided improvements out
there and there is good crop of cot
ton. tobacco and corn on it this year.
Much of the land has been seeded in
grass and clover and Col. Burgwn's
success in this line demonstrates what
can be done with proper preparation
and cultivation of the soil even OH bar
rem and apparently worthless red clay
hills. In the low grounds he is having
canal cut which we suppose is the
biggest undertaking of the kind that
has been attempted in the county
lately. 1t is eight feet wide. five feet
deep and will be mile and half long.
A portion of it is being cut along the
side of an elevated piece Of land through
the hard dry earth, far removed from
the main portion of the arabic bottom
lands that now are susceptible to over
flowing. Another improvement is
new road which has been cut through
the premises out to Col. Burgwyn's
other place on the Oxford & Hender-
son railroad. purchased from DIR. Smer-
don. 1t is more than mile in length
and when it settles and gets firm would
be equal to half the public highways of
the county if little wider. 1t took
Mr.. 7. f. Bowen. who is manager out
there, and his hands and teams about a
week to build it. And he made good
job Of it. Both Col. Burgwyn and Mr..
Bowen take great pride in affairs OH
the farm and they are getting this
place in splendid condition as COM
pared to what it was few years ago.
