Southern Pines is located on the high

sand Is fragments from pure clear crystal
quartz. 1t Is not the dusty sand that is
usually found in Florida and points South.
On account of the purity of the sand, the
largest experiment farm In the United
States has been established at this point.
The experiments being made are the
testing of fertilizers, In regard to showing
the value of different fertilizing materials.
The experiments carried on In this line are
much more extensive than those at Wash
ington by the United States Government
Agriculturists from this country and Eu-
rope are making trips to Southern Pines
studying different lines of experiments
that are being made. The German Kali
Works have contributed largely to the
maintenance Of the experimental work.
The great Seaboard Air Line system Of
