BACK TO THE WOODS
Committee is Determined
to Settle Test Farm
Location.

Not in the history of the Agricul-
tural Department said Commissioner
S. L. Patterson, has any question
caused more trouble and consumed
more time than the settlement of the
Eastern North Carolina test farm mat
ter. so far as the location is concerned.
There have been innumerable confer
ences held by the committee appointed
by the State Board of Agriculture, and
the eastern section has been traversed
several times. But it is to be de-
termined finally this week" said Com
missioner Patterson yesterday.
This remark was made just before
he. accompanied by MIR. VIM. Dunn,
of New Bern. a member of the COM
mittee, left for Wallace, Pendcr coun-
ty. where they will meet Mr. b. w.
kilgore. State Chemist, also member
of the committee. Horticulturalist IL.
Harold Hume, a member of the COM
mittee, will not be present at the
meeting on account Of an important
engagement i'm Raleigh today, and Mr..
McCallum, the last member, is con-
fined to his home because of sickness.
The meeting will be held in Wallace
today. and the committee is expected
to reach a definite Conclusion. The
business has already"cogt the state
considerable money, and the account
still rises, and there seems now to
be absolutely notl,inguto prevent the
committee from reaching a decision
directly. and it was wondered why
they went back to Wallace, as they
had all the data before them, and no
further inducements were likely to
be made.
The citizens in Fender county en-
masse have protested against the re-
moval of the farm from Wallace, and
claim that there is but one interest in
Wilmington that is making efforts to
secure the firm for that city.

BIG COTTON SALES.
Big Prices Bring in a Rush of Bales
to Raleigh.

Cotton came rolling into Raleigh
Yesterday as if it were the fall of The
year, and 357 bales were sold, the
top figure being 10 SIS cents a pound.
Mr. Charles f. Johnson thinks that
there is not very much cotton left IN
this section. The cause of the Setter
price he holds to be not alone the
government figures as to II as to the
crop condition, but also because of
the active demand of European ana
New England mills for cotton. Soma
cotton was shipped from here yestei'-
day to New England and there is a
steady demand for 1T.
