Wood Pulp.

Southern Trade Gazette.
Itappears to us that those interested
in producing paper from wood might
find considerable scope for investigation
in the immense amount of refuse wood
to be found nearly all over the country,
especially through the South. While
passing over one Of the main lines Of a
Southern road immense piles of bark,
scraps, and sawdust were noticed. At
the time it appeared to us that great
waste was apparent, which could be
used with profit in either the manu-
facture of creosote, methyl, alcohol or
paper. If the two former, it would
have to be Subjected to destructive dis
tillation if the latter, treatment with
chemicals would separate the celluline,
especially Of the bark and fine parti.
Giles such as saw.dust, etc.
If any Of our friends living in local..
ties where this matter can be purchased
sufficiently cheap to justify, think the
subject Of sufficient Importance, and
will take the trouble to write to us, we
will investigate the subject still further.
1t really looks as though some one
should be able to demonstrate this
matter Of producing paper, ETC., from
refuse wood with profit, inasmuch as
the material is plenty, to say nothing
of the vast areas of weeds which viii
make good paper, we know.

Crop Reports.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
The reports from the winter wheat
crop are favorable with few exceptions.
1t has now stopped growing and is in
better condition than last year to con.
tend with winter weather. There is
still considerable doubt about the corn
crop. The correspondent of the New
York Journal OF Commerce, generally
well informed, says that in Northern
Illinois parties are making inquiries as
to prices Of corn at other points, stating
that farmers are obliged already to
import corn for their home wants.
We have now portions of Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Ohio that are obliged to buy corn from
abroad, yet Mr.. Dodge tells us that
his last estimate, 1,570, 100000 BUSH
els of corn, will not be further reduced.
cannot accept it with such facts as
these before me, and at season when
the crop has even after its maturity
continued to run down rather than i'm
prove. One thousand three hundred
millions is, in my opinion, good fair
estimate of this corn crop. The vast
quantity of poor soft corn which is In
the country will be fed to stock this
winter, and this fact must have a de
cided effect upon our supplies for 1884
If the corn crop is reduced to 1900
900, 900 bushels, it will cut down the
estimates very materially, but the soft
corn referred to is used for feeding pull
poses and will help this way.
The Cincinnati Price Current also
says: "There is more or less conflict
of information in regard to corn crol
affairs. The Department of agricul
lures last report estimated falling Of
of 10000, 900 bushels, compared will
last year; the commission concern o
L. Leverham & Co., Chicago, has in
formation which points to a reduction
of about $50, 600, 900 bushels. This lat
ter statement implies reduction o
about 17S,OOO,000 bushels in tn
Southern States including Kentuck.
and Tennessee, and these figures ar
fully 100, 100000 wrong. The placinl
Of Iowa at a production of 1855 ,OO'
bushels is largely below the mark 70
that state. The entire crop as estims
ted by this party is 1,271,2OS,OO
bushels ; by the department of agri
culture, 1,577,OOO, 900; by the Pric
Current, 1,45O, 100000, as compare
with the 1,617OOO,OO as the officiI
record for last year.

Is IT so?

1t is stated that the syndicate run
ming the Cincinnati Southern intend
immediately building branch road to
Sparta. We hope it is SO. There is
perhaps no other line Of the same length
that would pay better as a feeder, or
be of more importance to the mountain
district than this connection. 1t would
open up communication with the East
and West, and furnish an outlet for
large area of country well adapted to
the growth of fine fruits, vegetables,
poultry, and other perisbable produc.
tons of the farm which require cheap
and quick transportation. We believe
it will be built within a short time. 1t
is Of too much Importance to be long
delayed. Give us thu road and we
will have competition and lower rates
and better facilities for marketing our
farm and garden products, North and
South. Competition, it is said, is the
life of trade. 1t is especially so with
railroads, and no country in the South,
feel a greater need for competing lines
than the section of country lying along
the line from Tullahoma on either side
to lockwood or some other point on
the Cincinnati Southern. The coun.
try through which it must go abounds

ing and fruit growing regions. The
importance of the road demands i'm.

see the work begin. 1t is but ques.
ton of time and it would be we'll fol
our farmers to begin to prepare their
orchards, aud their lands for the sue,
cessful cultivation of such fruits and
vegetables as are likely to prove prof
liable for the North and Northwest
as well as the South. The time viii
come very soon when we will have
sharp competition and ample facilities
for marketing our perishable products
Now is the time to begin to prepare by
making our nurseries of such fruits O
choice varieties from the earliest to thu
latest as will prove most profitable. Ii
the selection of fruits we should max,
no mistakes. 1t would be better I TO
every farmer and fruit grower to grow
his own fruit trees. He should have

the very best and see to the graftinl
and budding of his own trees so as t
plant a new orchard of a few acre
each year. With quick and cheaI
transportation this country would 500
blossom and flourish as the rose. Wit
this connection immigration woul
soon begin to move in this directio

long vast acres of wild and unimprove
