The New York Fruit Growers Club met yesterday
afternoon at their rooms No. IS and 81 Park place
DR.. Hallock In the chair. Mr. Carpenter presented
number OF strawberry plants OF the Charles Down
ing variety, originally from Kentucky for distr
button among the MEMBERS lie also stated that he
had reliable information that small and other fruit,
particularly pears, are being grown in large quant
ties in Missouri, where they rIpen several weeks
earlier than in New jersey and that tais year
look 10 Missouri for our early fruit, even for
Strawberries, which Will be shipped In refrigerator
crates. Alter debating for some time the best way
in which to plant and grow strawberries, the prn-
cipal question OF the day came up--the matter OF
emigration to the Southern states-abont which
several gentlemen from the South were expected 10
speak.
The FIRST who addressed the meeting was General
TOchman, OF North Carolina, native OF Poland but
long resident Of the South. He said that the Ques-
ton under consideration was prompted by the iu-
tention to obtain correct Information as to where
producers should 20; aud he could only say that
farmers gardeners and others tiling the land should
go South. lie was bassed by the natural feeling
of nativity, as he not native of the South but
Of the North OF Europe. But lie has been long
enough In the country and thr0ugn every part
OF 1t, to enable him to judge. From statistical tables
the information Is gained that the rate OF mortality
is and Of longevity greater in the South than
in the North and West The exports OF the South
larger than those OF the North East and West com
blned; this was so before the war; and is 80 now.
The war has impoverished the people, but has not
changed the climate destroyed the fertility OF the
SOIL lie would read from the report for 1867 OF the
Statistical Bureau ut Washington, that the popu-
lation Of the Southern States for that year was
956sT0s while their ports S32s 406, 757. The
population of all the other States in the same year
was 9l6765, and their exports S24s 243; hence
while the Southern States had but twenty eight per
cent OF the entire population, they furnished sixty
per OF the toal value Of exports or S4 32
per head, while the pro rata share in the other
States Is but SIS 70. This is not accidental or an
isolated instance. The same difference has been
maintained since the beginning OF the government
Before the war, In 1860, according to the United
States taken In that year, the population OF
the Southern States 0259O07, OF all the other
states 2l,ls5,s63. The average amount OF corn
raised per head the South was 53 2-1OO bushels in
the Northern and Western States only 10 bushels.
After the war, the year 1865, the population OF
the South had decreased to $500, 7O9 aud yet,
