almost impossible.

poses, but also for the benefit Of his
health. He finds the outdoor life to

SITE SELECTED FOR
EXPERIMENT STATION
Will be Located in Pasture Grounds
Near Old Burial Ground of Fort
Brown.

The new sugar cane experiment
station which the government will
establish at the South Texas Gar
dens will in all probability be To-
-ated in the pasture south of the old
burial grounds at the fort and west
of the buildings now used by the
government in their plant introduce
ton work.
This was the statement of w. A.
Orion in charge of the sugar plant
investigations for the bureau of
plant industry at Washington, be-
for leaving for his station there yes
terday afternoon.
Mr.. Orion has been comforting
with the offiials at the Gardens in
regard to the best site for the loca-
iton Of the Introduction plant, for
the past three days, and has come
to a decision after thoroughly inves-
itigating all sites which might prove
desirable.
Mr.. Orion also held an important
conference with the cane growers of
the Valley and discussed with them
the steps which will have to be
taken before the actual establish
ment of the station.
Mr.. Orion expressed himself as
being well pleased with the recep-
tion he had received from the O.
ficials at the Garden and also from
the cane growers generally. He
stated TO a Herald representative be-
fore his return to Washington yes
terday, that he believed the station
when established, though small in
capacity, will prove a very great aid
to the cane growers of this district
and will undoubtedly be a means of
materially stimulating the raising OF
sugar zane in the Valley.
