The European Crops.

A London grain circular of the 18th
says: Wheat cutting is now general in
the earlier districts. The crop in South
Essex appears to be fair average as to
quantity, and of very fine quality. Of
barley there is a fine crop. The wheat
crop in Devonshire is the best since 1868,
but in the midland counties and in Lin
colnshire and Yorkshire the prospects are
very unfavorable, the injury done not
being wholly reparable, even by fine
weather. The estimates of the French
crop, which short time ago ranged from
100000 to 95,000,OO0 hectolitres, now
appear to be from 85,0OO,OOO to 9O,00O,-
600. No trustworthy estimate of the
final yield can be made yet, but total
yield of 80, 100000 would necessitate an
importation of 100000 hectolitres.
The German harvest is delayed and in
jured by hot weather. Prices at Berlin
are higher than week or fortnight ago.
The first shipments to the United King
dom from sources other than American re-
main very limited
The crop prospects in Upper Silesia
and East Prussia are very gloomy.
The London Times, in its financial ar
ticle of the 18th, says: $50 hurriedly
have shipments been made that there are
said to be large quantities of American
grain here unsold. The present magn;f-
cent weather enhances the value of home
crops and lessons the urgency in the de-
mand for foreign supplies"

with the testimony before the Exodus

the financial condition of the colored race
in North Carolina Witnesses there re-

where colored men, by their own labor,
had succeeded in purchasing. farms, by

think were given. We have recently no.

Recorder from Georgia. We know man,

who began life since the war, poor

wages; he inherited nothing, and has
been engaged in no business except farm
ing. He will make this year ninety bales
Of cotton, has not brought single bale to
market, and does not propose before
spring, and he is able to hold it. He
owns one of the best plantations in south
western Georgia, and it is his boast he
buys nothing with which to feed man or
beast, except sugar and coffee, but has
something to sell of almost every product
of southern soil Last year he made 1900
gallons of syrup, and this year has sold
over 200 pounds of butter. In the face

During the process Of taxing then from

hundred In number, were removed 70 one OF the

more than half dozen eels were 70 lnd ami

taken 10 exclude all vOracious and game fish
from these ponds. Among the whole number
there are about 10000 scale carp, the balance
being divided between the mirror and leather
carp, the latter predom!nating.
CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT CARP.
Ihey GO Lot commence to spawn until they
are four years old, and during the first four
years their growth Is the most rapid, after
which IL gradually diminishes annually until
they are twenty years old, when they do not
percepti0ly increase 10 SIZE unless freely fed by
aTt1fclal means. There are only eighty OF the
original number brought from Germany by DR..
Hassel living, and about half Of this number
are in the Druid Hill ponds at Baltimore. Some
were also loaned by Prof Baird 70 Mr. Jones. at
the Washington Arsenal grounds with which
TO stock his pond in those grounds. These h ave
been returned to Prof. Baird and are to De used
hereafter with the others for breeding pur-
poses. Dr. Hassel states that when well cared
Tor, carp will live many years He saw at
Luxembourg, Austria, one carp three hundred
years old; SO old that even moss grew on it's
back-yet 1t was active and appeared TO have
as much vitality as the younger fish, Thirty
pounds is the usual maximum weight OF the
carp. Yet by proper care they Will grow much
heavier.
THE FIRST INFORMATION OF THE FIsH FROM GER
MANY.
Dr. Hassel made two unsuccessful attempts
TO bring carp to this country, and finally sue
ceeded In the third. The first was in 1916. but
the weather was so hot when he arrived that
his fish died after he landed, before he could
get them into the ponds pr, pared to receive
thtm. TIE second attempt was in the fail of
that year. The voyage proved too long, lasting
twenty seven days, ard either the Scarcity OF
fresh water during the voyage or the verdgrfs
In the coOperage or the water casks killed all OF
his fish. In the spring OF 1877 ne succeeded 10
landing 100 young carp, from which have
sprung all the fish OF this kind now in this
country and II Is probable that 1t will not be long
before they Will be raised in every state In the
union.
