WELL KNOWN CITIZEN FIGURING
ON ESTABLISHING ExP7ERI-

The county commissioners he'd
their regular m-nthly meeting yes

courthouse. \ number of routine
matters We're disposed of.
A feature of the meeting, however,
was a communication received from
Messrs. f. F. Coney, Albert Fendig
and F. X. Huger relative to the es-
ta 5lishment of an experiment farm.
These three gentlemen are greatly
int rested in agricultural products
and they believe that an agricultural
farm would be good thing for Glynn
county. They are quite sure that
celery, especially, and other products
can be successfully raised in the
county and think that something
should be done to encourage farming.
The communication sent to the
board yesterday was simply an an
nouncement of what these gentlemen
desired to do and they asked for the
assistance of the county. The mem
bers of the board took well to the
idea and they at once expressed a
Willingness to aid in the matter by
draining the land on which the farm
is located and otherwise assisting.
That the raising of celery could be
made a great business in this Sec
ton there is not the least doubt. The
land, so experts on celery raising
state, is adapted to the cultivation of
that vegetable and it could be raised
/ in abundance. The demand for it is
great, and last season carloads were
shipped from the celery farms in
middle Florida with big profit to
the farmers.
1t is likely that a stock company
will be organized for the purpose of
building the experiment station and
| it may mean a new and paying bus
mess for this city.
