STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
Many Matters Considered and Dis
posed Instrumentation of the
Work of the Department.

The State Board of Agriculture and
the Board of Trustees of the A and
M. College were in session yesterday.
Lieutenant Barnes was reelected to
the chair of physics, electricity and
military instruction, and his salary
increased to $1,000. The matter of the
Camp Mangum tract of land was dis
cussed but no action was taken. The
faculty were instructed to assist as
much as possible in the work of farm
ers' institutes throughout the State.
The trustees commended in the high
est terms the work of Director Ell. B.
Battle and the State Experiment Sta
ton, and were especially pleased at the
establishment of the Poultry Division
and the Fertilizer Experiment Farm at
Southern Pines. The extension of the
analytical department of the Agricul-
tural Building was authorized. The
Hawkins estate, owners of the lot IN
rear of the building, notified the Board
that the gas machine of the depart
ment prevented the sale of the lots,
and they would either have to rmove
the machine or comply with the
twenty-five foot rule. The Board de-
cided to buy the entire lot, 100 feet by
as feet. the price being 5000. The
members expressed qualification at the
fine condition of the State Museum,
and the suspicious beginning IN the
department of natural history. MI.
S. +. Patterson, Commissioner OF Agri-
culture. was commended for his aetlvl-
ty in holding farmers Institutes ana
was directed to push this work for the
next few months. The Board meets
again to-day.
