BOARD OF AGRICULrURE.
Truck Test Farm to be Established.
Reports by Biologist Mccarthy and
Chemist Kilgore.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial TO Inc MeSSenger.1
Raleigh. n. c., December AT to-
days session Of the State Board of
Agriculture. Biologist Gerald McCar-
thy made his report. He referred to
the great demand for cotton root bark
for medical use. The price which
New York dealers get for It is forty
cents a pound. but he discovered that
druggists offer farmers only from 8
to 10 cents. He has advised farmers
not TO sell for less than 10 cents. n
IS arranging with some New York
commission men to handle the bark,
so that farmers will get a profitable
price.
State Chemist Kilgore made a re-
port on the analysis Of commercial
fertilizers. Receipts from sale OF tax
tags on fertilizers are larger than ever
before. The estimate las been made
that farmers in this state spent this
year over ten million dollars for COM
mercial fertilizers and cotton seed
meal.
The board directed Mccarthy to
a bulletin on the use of pre-
%servations of fresh meats, fish n
oysters by shippers and others IN this
state, and has appointed a committee
to confer with the state medical board
and prepare for presentation TO the
legislature a bill which will prevent
the use of such personalities by the
people of this state.
Owing to the sma1lness of the soil
test farm in Robson county, 155
acres, the board decided to abandon
it and will locate the farm somewhere
further east, in accordance with the ap
peal Of the truck growers, for tests
of small fruits, berries and trucking
vegetables. The location is to be con-
venient for trucking interests. 1t was
decided to establish as soon as pos
sible. a test farm for pure bred cattle.
with a view to introducing the best
breeds into the various sections OF
the state, heavy cattle in the mountain
region and lighter ones in the east.
It was further decided TO stablis at
once at Blantyre on the border Of
Henderson and Pennsylvania counties.
a IT'S acre test farm where mountain
vegetables and also cattle can be ex-
perimented with.
The board authorized the offering
of premiums on fifteen leading rops.
at the next state fair, s25 for first
prize. SIS for second and SO for the
third on each. This action Is
now so that news can get out at once
in order to ascertain the greatest pos
sible yield of these crops.

teen minutes longer IL woul have been
