five classes In which canvassing WAS
completed. those of John Greenleaf
Whittier and James Russell Lowell In
the class of authors and that Of Gen
efal William T. Sherman In the class
of soldiers. The elections will con-

quinnial election was completed.
Maria Mitchell was the only Ameri-
can scientist to be elected at this time.
Though Louis Agassfz secured admis-

A curious commentary on Maria
MitchelI's election is the fact that
eight of the electors, chiefly scientists
refused to vote for any woman, thus
reducing the number of votes neces-
sary to elect woman to forty seven,
while fifty-one We're required for a

LOCATION OF TEST
FARM At WILLARD
This Place Got Both
Choices of Committee.
DEAL NOT PERFECTED
Committee Visited Dozens Of Sites
From South Carolina Border to
Elizabeth City, and Selects
Willard a Second
Time.

State Horticulturalist II. Hume, has
returned from his last tour of .in-
spection- through Eastern North Caro-
lima for the purpose of selecting the
most suitable site for the location of
the North Carolina Test Farm. On
this trip Mr.. Hume represented the
whole committee, which consisted of
himself, State Chemist B. w. Kilgore,
Mr.. VIM. Dunn, a truck grower of
New Bern; Mr.. c. F. Callum, of Red
Springs, and Prof. w. F. Massey, of
A. and M. College.
Invitations from forty-five different
places in the truck growing section to
inspect various situations We're re-
ceived by the committee, which visit
ed the larger number of them. In
Many instances locations We're tend
cred free to the. State, and in several
places large sums of money were
raised by private and public subscrip-
ton to purchase farms and donate
them to the State if this would induce
the Agricultural Department to To-
cate the test farm at any one of them.
These offers extended from the South
Carolina border counties to Elizabeth
City. In the final selection the COM
mittee visited fourteen sites, and Sc
lected a piece of land of 230 acres at
Willard, the northern end of Fender
county, but the deed to this place
has not yet been made 1t will be
remembered that the former selec-
ton of the committee was a site at
the same place, Willard, and that the
farmer who owned the land failed to
draw and sign the papers when the
time arrived for the transfer. This
threw the committee back on the sea,
and another effort was made to Sc
cure as good or a better place. After
visiting every place adapted to the
work in Eastern North Carolina, Mr..
Hume finally returned to Willard, and
was successful in securing a site bet
ter than the former, and ma trouble
about the transfer is anticipated.
In making the selection the COM
mittee had in view several purposes,
among which were to select land that
contained soil which represented in
every way the soil of the entire East
ern trucking districts.
The general object for which it has
been planned and determined to OPP
crate test farm in North Carolina is
to assist those engaged in trucking in
the Eastern counties, by introducing
new varieties of crops; new methods
of culture, giving more careful and
explicit directions in the use of fer
tilizers; improving the present crops
by careful seed and plant selection and
breeding, and disseminating new
strains among the farmers. From
present appearances one of the great
est needs of the truckers is disersif1ca-
ton of crops. In too many sections
the only crop is that of Strawberries,
and the weevil, for which no method
or means of control has been dis
covered. is making serious inroads on
the crop. If the pest continues to
increase as it has during the past too
or three years, the truckers of the
berry district will be compelled to
give attention to other crops. Along
this line the test farm proposes to
render valuable assistance.

WEEVIL LECTURES
State EutOmoIOgist Makes
Tour of the Strawberry
Districts.

State Entomologist Franklin Sher-
man, Jr., has arranged a tour of the
strawberry districts of Eastern North
Carolina i'm which he will speak at six
places. Four of the dates have already
been made, these being at Rocky
Point, Wednesday, May II: Wallace,
Thursday, the 18th; Warsaw, Friday,
the 18th, and Mount Olive. Saturday,
the goth whole week will be de-
voted to lectures on the strawberry
Weevil, and there remain still two days
whose dates are yet untitled These
may be put in, however, at Chadbourn
and Wilmington, although engage
ments to speak at these places have
not been made.
On this trip Mr. Sherman will re-
late the full extent of the findings of
his experiments, and all scientific
knowledge of this destructive pest, to-
gether with the only known methods
of exterminating them. He has deVot-
ed considerable time and labor in ex-
periments with it. in all its different
ny plantUh shrdl shrdlu shrdluetao ma
stages of life, and both with and sep
arated from the strawberry plant. The
ravages of this insect are vastly injur-
ious to the strawberry crops, and its
growth every year makes ONE method
of check imperative, ors else the
truckers most greatly reduce their
berry acreage.
While nthis trip Mr. Sherman will
collect hundreds of the insects from
different sections, and make personal
observations of the various lands, their
locality fertility of SOIL and other
conditions, and study the evil with the
knowledge of their natural life while
he is experimenting with them.

Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Sherman are
interested to know of all localities il

they find the places where this insec,
is worst they will locate at such places

The experiments of the National De-

The immediate work of Mr.. Webster
and Mr.. Sherman, after the selection
of the sites, will be to discover the
best and quickest means of destroying
the 'Hessian Fly" which is destructive
to wheat, and to ascertain what is the
exact date to SOW wheat i'm order to
get the best yield and suffer less in

in the State throughout the Piedmont
region. The adult is a very small,
slender, blackish tWo-winged fly
which resembles a small mosquito.
The adult male deposits ekks on the
young wheat leaves The eggs hatch
into small, whitish maggots, which
work down to the stalk, feeding on il

The accident resulting i'm the wo-
