HUNGARIAN GRASS.

Hungarian grass is becoming popular
again, and is now largely and generally
sown for hay. The yield is very heavy,
several tons an acre, and if cut before the
seeds form, it is one of the best of many
foods for stock. The seeds are strongly di-
uretic, and if allowed to ripen on the hay
fed to stock will injure them. 1t should be
grown exclusively for seed, when that is
wanted. Being an annual, if sown late, in
June, after other crops, it may be- put in the
ground when the crops of timothy or other
forage is known to have partially failed

Beans and Tomatoes.

There is one gentleman whose
place is in the ueighhorhood OF
town who has now planted and
coming up about seven acres OF
snap or as they are commonly
called string beans. lie is rails
ing them far the Northern mar
kets and has already contracted
them at a price which will REAL
ize, should the crop prove any
way good, from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty dollars
per acre. After the crop is
made the BANNER will cndeavor
to procure Il statement OF the
cost and amount made or lost
and publish the same tor gener-
al Information. In this connec-
ton it may also be remarked
that tomatoes arc a favorite veg
etablo in the Northern markets
and that the first arrivals bring
fabulous prices, being retai!ed
three medium sized ones for
twenty-five cents. Until gay
about the 1st of June, they sell
readily at five to six dollars a
bushel and are generally scarce
at that. Considerable quanti-
ties are raised on the coast be-
low New Orleans, and by the
market gardeners in the vicini-
ty of Mobile, ala. They are
shipped by rail to St. Louis,
Chicago, and other western
cities. The distance by rail
from this section of country is
not much greater and there is
certainly no reason why they
could not be made a profitable
crop.
