Farmer Home Journal Nav p.


The Farmers Home Journal some
months since copied an article written
by Mr.. Stackhouse, the horticultural
editor Of THE COMET, published al
jackson, Miss in which he contro-
verted the statement made by the
Gardeners Monthly, 10 the effect that
the disease known as "peach vel.
lows" existed on the Jackson route y
The writer In the Gsrdeners' Month
ly stated that rs the train rolled
through the country he saw from the
car windows evidences of the yellows
in the peach orchards along the road.
To this Mr.. StackbJuse replied in THE
COMET that no such disease as the
peach yellows" 10 known I'm the or
chards along the jackson route"
It seems that the Gardeners Month
ly has Improperly credited the state
ment made by Mr.. Stack khouse 10 this
paper, and we now call Attention to
the fact and disclaim the fmputation.
The Farmer Home Journal has a
high appreciation Of Mr. Stackhouss
as practical borticulturist and eau
tious writer therefore bis articles in
THE COMET are freQenfly quoted ~
valuable matter, and fn every In
stance full credit Il given either 20 Tbs
CoMET or 10 Mr.. Siackhonse. the
edtor. We regard, therefore, Mr..
etackhouse as the best auth ority for
the sfaiemenf that there IL no disease
in the scnth similar 70 the Hpcaeh

EIeves Thousand Tons Of Grain by
the River Route.


st. Louis Glohe-Democrat, Msv1A
The movements Of grain, which
have recently ceased to attract atten-
ton by the frequency of their occur
renee, are again claiming prominence
by the mastodon proportions which
they are assuming. The greatest
amount Of grain ever withdrawn at
one time from the st. Louis elevators
for export aggregated 5000 tons. The
immensity Of this shipment was favor
ed with worldwide criticism and
many Eastern papers Of skeptical
turn did not hesitate 10 question the
truth of the statement. A tow Is now
making up at the different elevators
that will eclipse all precedent, and
provoke renewed discussion concern
ing the capability Of the Mississippi
river to float the grain seeking an out
let at this point. This evening or
early tomorrow morning the tow
boat Oakland will depart with a tow
comprising 10000 bushels Of wheat,
2O0, 900 bushels Of corn 5000 barrels Of
-four and miscellaneous collection Of
package freight that alone will equal
two sections guarded by the steamers
Oakland and Norton. The latter
steamer win only 90 as far as Cairo,
where the tow will be united and
moved TO the seaboard by the Oak
land. In tonnage the freight is rep
resented by over ii 900 tons. To move
this by rail would require 81 trains of
10 cars each, and the services Of 335
traiD hands. By water the grain will
reach New Orleans in six days, where
as the railroads centering here could
not transport In less than two months
time, or ct the rate Of one train day.
On Monday two other tows Of the 81.
Louis and New Orleans Transporter
ton Company will follow with about
10000 bushels each. The Mississippi
Valley Line h also preparing q mon
ster tow.

enlarged and supervised by competent
workmen from the North and Italy.
The vegetable business is mostly
carried on by Italian laborers, who are
greatly pleased with our climate and
soil. A new supply reached him two
or three years ago, which may form
the nucleus of II large italian immi-
grafton, as the gardening business
which seems to suit them--united
with other attractions, will throw out
great inducements for them to come
here. Besides, they have been denied
the privileges Of attending the Cath
olic church, but as one is soon to be
built in Haziehurst, they can attend
there.
AS soon as we get time, we expect to
visit more of the fruit and vegetable
growers, and extend our observations
but we can't close this without short
notice of Hon. John Mcneil, the Pres
ident of the Fruit and Vegetable
Growers Association. His indom-
liable ENERGY and enterprise has done
a great deal towards the development
of the business here.

Will Corn DeteriOrnfe?
Farmer's Home Journal.

Many farmers think because their
crops of corn decrease from year tO
year that it is due TO the seed running
out" The deterioration is the result
of exhaustion of the land, or It may
be to some extent due to want OF
care in the selection of the best type
for seed. There is perhaps no field of
corn but will contain more or less
mixed ears. Some will be of type
which yields more abundantly than
the other. If this is carefully select
ed, year by year, TO the exclusion of
the inferior types, the corn will be-
come more valuable for seed the long
er it is cultivated. The Tichenor corn,
which has been selected in this way
and grown on the same farm for half
a century, took the premium Two
years in succession at our State show
of corn. 1t has been selected with a
view to fixed type, and that the
best. The corn makes a larger yield
now than it did many years ago.
