CHARLOTTE GETS
THE TEST FARM
Chosen Over Prince Edward at
State Board Meeting
Yesterday,

The Board Of Agriculture held a meet
ing at New Fords yesterday, and after
deciding to establish test farm in Char
lotta county for experimenting with the
growth Of tobacco and other agricultural
products, and attending to some other
business, mostly of a routine natlre, ad-
journed 20 meet in this city on Tuesday,
January Sth. 1901, when the fertilizer in
spectors for the State will be selected for.
the ensuing year.
All the members of the Board and Com.
missioner George w Koiner were present
at the meeting, and two sessions were
held
The most interesting matter disposed
OF was that of establishing the test farm,
the counties of Charlotte and Prince Ed
ward putting UP hard for the plum.
The committee. composed of Messrs. Bark
ser, Beverly and Goode, appointed to re-
commend suitable place, reported unani-
mously in favor of Charlotte. and strong
speeches were made by Senator D. @. Egg
gleston. and several ether prominent>citi-
zens in favor of that county while Judge
Asa D. Watkins and Major A r. Venable,
Jr., spoke in behalf Of Prince Edward
After hearing all the argument on both
sides. the Board adopted the report Of the
committee, selecting the Charlotte county
farm.
The farm which was selected is located
near brakes Branch on the Southern
Railway. and will be Immediately pur-
chased by the county of Charlotte from
its present owner and donated to the
Board for the purposes named above. 1t
is Whit Is known as the ..Silver Hill
farm; is owned at present by an Ohio man,
and is said to be one ofe the most fertile
and productive places in Southside Vir-
ginia.
The Board will employ an expert farmer
to take charge OF the place, and it is un-
derstood that preparations will be COM
menced at one for a crop in 1901. The
whole tract contains 2,oc0 acres, ard it is
understood that the price TO be paid by
Charlotte county is 5000
In the case of the Virginia Fertilizer
Company, of Farmyille, reported for offer
ing for sale a brand of fertilizer which
does not come Up TO the standard analy-
sis, the Board instructed Commissioner
Koiner to go to Farmville5 and make a
thorough investigation of the facts in the
case, and then take whatever action tha,
| would be fair to the company and at the
same time protect the interests of tho
farmers Of the State.
| II seemed to be the opinion Of the Board
aa well as Of the Commi issioner. that the
company had made an unintentional error
bv putting some fertilizer not up to thu
standard In the bags for sale.

CINCINNATI. o., Jan. 25.-Last week
President Ayres announced that the vacan-
cies in nine professorships in Cincinnati
University had been declared and the trus-
tees sustained him at a subsequent meet
ing. All the assistants of these nine pro
fessors go with their chiefs. The only full.
professors not included in this edict are
Myers, of history; Brown, of English, and
Benedict of philosophy. and their assist
ants.
To-day Professors p V. N Myers re-
signed as professor of history, making the
tenth vacancy in the regular chairs. Pro-
fessor Myers was not asked TO resign, but
was urged to remain. In an open letter
to the trustees he says he cannot remain
under the circumstances, as 1t would CON-
pei his approval of what he terms 1.-THE

whom he has been associated for over nine
years. He adds: Il prefer exile, even

charges that President Ayers never Wis
tied any of the departments. lectures or

precipitate action has been made known to
any of the decapitated professors.
He appeals to the trustees that no insti-
tuition founded upon injustice the deg

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind. Jan. 25.-The Gould
Steel Company, of Anderson, which has
been so hampered by lack of natural gas
for fuel purposes as to have considered
the ACCESSIBILITY of seeking new location,
has completed a series of successful ex
periments with oil burners in the furnaces.
The final test was made yesterday, and the
result was so satisfactory that the officers
81 the company say they will remain in
Anderson. The burners consume crude
oil. The attachment is very simple. and
the fuel cost is reduced to the minimum.
The heat is much more satisfactory than
that obtained from COAL The burners are
to be employed in reinforcing the gas sup
ply, and when that is exhausted crude oil
will be depended on entirely. A large num-
Der of manufacturers were witnesses of
the tests. and all admit it is the solution of
the fuel problem when natural gas is ex-
hausted The oil is heated and jet of
superheated steam injected at the point OF
ignition under the boilers.
