Southern Produce Exchange. in regard
to establishing an experimental station
in the nelghborhood of NkSolk, and was
SO favorably impressed with the idea,
which Commissioner Koiner had some
time before advocated. that the body
decided to meet at Norfolk as early as
possible, and confer with members of

known to be a great trucking country
adapted to stock raising. Yet Mr.
Wright declared that the facilities in
that region for stock raising We're sec
ond to none in the State. not excepting
the blue grass section. He thought that
an experimental station located in one
of the counties near Norfolk would be
in a section representative of the entire
trucking section of Tidewater Virginia.
Mr.. c, ". Coleman gave some inter-
esting statistics to show the magnitude
of the trucking business. Mr.. Bdgood
and Mr.. Babcock both spoke in advo-
cacy of establishing a station in the in
forests Of the trucking industry. Prof.
"A. NJ. Soule. of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute said that he had visited the
section in the neighborhood of Norfolk.

had seen many different trucking re-
