To the Editor of St. Croix Avis.
Dear
Sir
:
In consequence
of different
arti-
cies
that have appeared
in different
local
papers
concerning
the Experiment
Sta-
tion nere
1n the island,
we
think
it only
fair to its Leader—Dr.
Longfield Smith—-
to give our opinion on the matter.
When
the
Experiment
Station
originally
was
started
in the island,
the
planters
volun-
tary paid through the Custom
House
into
the Colonial Treasury
1% of the
value of
sugar
exported
to help defray
the
expen-
ses
of suid
Station
and
Planters
there-
fore should be the right party
to say
whe-
ther they think the
money
well
spent
or
not.
The Planters
here
have
been
very
reserved
and
the Station
has
often
beeu
the
object
of
strong
criticism
and
its
Leader
has years
ago
met
a lot of
oppo-
sition
1n many
ways,
bnt with
his
lever
tiring always gentlemanly
ways of
argu-
ing and
bringing actual
proofs
for
his
arguments,
he
has gained
the confidence
of
most
Planters
who
now are
seeking
him
for advice.
Anybody
more
willing
and anxious
to come
in your fields to find
out the trouble and give advice
would
be
impossible
to
get,
and
we
can
only
thank
the
Doctor
for
the
trcuble,
and
patience
he has
taken all
these
years
to
introduce any new Seed and improve
our
Cultivation.—Of things
the
Doctor
has
succeeded
with in
the
line
of
improve-
ments
we will mention
the ‘‘Black Rock
Potato’’ which
the labouring Class
direct-
ly
have
benefited
by—also
the
better
breed of Maize.
[he Editorof the Herald
iu
an article
states,”
that
an
excellent
quality
of Maize
was produced
here
in
the
island 20-30 years
ago,
don’t
doubt
it,
the
old
time
was
always
the
best
timme,
but
what
has
become
of it,
the
Exp.
Station
has
certainly
bred
and
