from Mr., Scott, explained Tia" plal
as discussed 10y the trustees,
MIR. GOudale thought il would ~
great mistake 10 start the station
this coming year. The chief Of Tia
station should have the first year I,
travel among the plantations. Thor
was a wide difference in soil, cuItIvn
ton, etc, between different planta
tions even near together Strippin,
OF cane was absolutely necessary Of
his plantation, while elsewhere i
was wisely dispensed with.
Mr.. Swanzy said the prryiou
speaker had hit the intentions Of til
trustees exactly. 1t might not b
easy TO carry on al experiments
station here by the same methods a
are employed in Louisiana, The
wanted as head Of the station, no
only chemist but an agricuturis
an agricultural chemist.
Mr., Baldwin spoke to sinrIa
effect. The principal services Of IT,
manager would be in travelling roun
among the plantations There wcr
many agricultural periodicals j
Europe, which most OF the planter
could not read At such a static
the contents Of such publication
valuable To our planters could b
translated,
Mr.. Morrison thought a great d"a
OF the value Of such a station woul
be in a reading room where infOTmi
tion in foreign languages could h
utilized, lie moved that the tru,
tees be authorized to proceed wit
tho project.
THIS being seconded was carrio
without dissent,
Mr., SwanIy considered 1t scarcol
fair that sugar planters should boa
all the expense Of promoting ,rirr
tiiic agriculture, Some means NIGH
bs devised Tor enlistIug the aid ,
