Test Farm q Success.

The state Test Farm is now beyond u
venture. Its value to the State is a GER
tam and known quantity. The farm has
already proven a blessing 10 Charlotte

give IL TO the State even though il had
to borrow money 70 do so.
That the State has such anexperiment.
al station and bureau of practical infor-
nation is due largely TO Mr. q W. Koin-
er, the Commissioner of Agriculture. He
nurtured the offer of Charlotte until the
transfer of the property, and then
through his wisdom it was placed in the
hands of one of the most experienced
and scientific farmers in the country.
Professor Heiges, formerly of Peansyl
vania, and United States pomologist.
Professor Heiges has almost transformed
the place since last summer when he
took charge lie is one of the few men
of the country who combine a scientific
and practical knowledge of agriculture
When Prof. Ileiges came to the farm
last summer il was too lateto get many
crops in the ground, and little was done
beyond getting the place in shape for
work this winter
But during last winter the manager 4
residence was greatly improved, several
thousand dollars being spent in addi.
tions and improvements. One OF the con
veniences is a meeting room for the
BOARD of Agriculture
But before spring had hardly come
Manager lIeiges was astir getting ready
