THE FARM.
Petitions i'm Circulation Against Pro.
posed Sale Of State Farm.

Petitions In Circulation Against Pro-
posed Sale of State Farm.
Two years ago a movement was on
foot to sell the State test farm at Blan-
tyre but the State Board of Agriculture
was flooded with petitions against such
and by the efficient efforts of A. Can
non of Horse Shoe, a member of the
board, the farm was saved.
It is feared that the fight has been
renewed against the farm and petitions
have been circulated in Henderson and
Pennsylvania counties petitioning the
board not to sell the farm.
Mr.. Cannon while passing through
the city Monday en- route to Raleigh to
attend a meeting OF the board, said
that the farm was quite a success and
SO much so that it had been self-sus-
tanning in it's experiments, which had
been of great values to tie fruit grow.
ers and farmers.
The petition follows:
The petition of the undersigned cit
liens of Henderson and Pennsylvania
counties respectfully showeth:
Whereas the people of Henderson
ard Pennsylvania counties are deriving
Invaluable aid and benefit from the
demonstration work on the Blantyre
State Farm both from agricultural and
horticultural standpoints, and whereas
the continuance of said demonstration
work is the highest Importance to the
people Of this section in that our peo-
pie have greatly improved their meth
DDS of farming and fruit growing by
reason of the object lessons furnished
them by said farm and whereas the
sale of said farm would be a great
Getriment to our people, and would
retard progress along agricultural and
horticultural lines for years to come
and whereas as your petitioners are in
formed and believe a movement is be
ing inaugurated for the purpose OF
having said demonstration farm sold.
now, therefore, we positively, unequiv-
ocally and respectfully enter our pro-
test against the sale and discontinue
ance of said farm and ask your honor
able board to ignore all requests and
efforts to for the sale and ~discontin-
uance of said farm"

him to declare how he had come by

there are many criminals in Italy the
