ing that A. II. Carnon. horticultural
commissioner, bo retained In office.
Petitions recently filed with tho state
commission by Jnckson county people
asked that Mr. Carson bo removed,
and tho board seemed about to fol
low the wishes of the disgruntled few
of that region. Mr. Carson ap
peared before tho hoard, however,
and made a strong defense of his po
sition, and tho governor, who Is n
member of the commission, has since
stated that petitions representing tho
other side of the controversy would
bo given full consideration. These
petitions will go In Friday, and thero
is no doubt they will more than off
set the one frofu Jackson county,
leaving the hoard free to exercise Its
unbiased Judgment.
