A Few of the Successful Truck
Farmers.

The Valdosta Times has been interview
ing some of the leading truck farmers at
OnsIey Station. in Lowndes county, the
very spot where Georgia truck farming
commenced. and near which is the resi-
dence of Mr.. George r. Mckee, the
pioneer of the business.
Mr.. j. H. Dedrick planted one acre IN
tomatoes. has already shipped eighty
seven crates, and would ship twenty more.
They Noted him 81 so per crate, and, de-
Quoting all expenses, he would clear $40
on the acre. He thought the season I'M
favorable, and he had but little expert
ence.
Mr.. John Willis planted IA acres in
Irish potatoes, gathered 30 barrels ana
sold them at SO per barrel net. His gain
was $50. He planted 20 acres in melons,
sold car loads at $40 per car net, and
would get more car loads. He says this
has been the worst year known on truck
damaged him 30 per cent. Truck farm
ing did not interfere with his other crops.
Has planted more cotton this year than
for several years past.
Mr.. Joseph Moore planted 100 acres IN
melons and in potatoes. Had shipped
81 car loads of melons. His largest sale
was 1850 for one car, while the smallest
was S1O6. average $40 per car. Will get
Il more car loads. Cleared $40 per acre
on potatoes. Has planted corn on his
potato ground and will make % bushels
per acre. 4 majority of his neighbors
had come out ahead, and will 90 into the
business again next year in every way
better equipped.
Mr.. J. II. Carroll made $1S9 on one acre
of cucumbers and 5000 on melons, the
latter crop not yet exhausted.
Mr.. J. H. Ousley said this year should
not be taken as a criterion-it had been
an unusually bad one on vegetables-that
failure to realize should not be attributed
to the business, but rather to other eXte-
rior causes-he had lost money on pota-
toes, not because there was no market for
them. but for the reason that he failed to
make a good crop. The same would
apply to other crops. His cab
bages melted him considerably
over $50 and his tomatoes $50 per
acre. He entertained great hopes of the
future of truck farming, but many changes
will have to be brought about before sue
cess is achieved to any great extent. The
present system will have to be revised.
Every man who plants truck should have
his farm so arranged that nothing will be
lost or thrown away. Another great
difficulty was the freight tariff. The West
ern markets are practically shut out
against Southern growers, except in the
case of melons. 4 crate of cucumbers to
Cincinnati is 81 80, and to New York
30 cents.
Mr.. J. c. Wisenbaker planted thirty
acres in watermelOns; has sold four car
loads, which brought him $3.50 on the
track at ValdOsta; will get ten more car
loads from his field; was offered eight
cents apiece for the remainder of the
crop, but refused to accept the PROPOSE
ton.
These are experiences of successful
truck farmers. No doubt many truck
farmers have lost money this season; but
that some have been successful shows
that truck farming is not failure. No
doubt a great deal depends upon the eX-
perience and management of the farmers.

Plantation Railways.

Taking their cue from the French sugar
beet growers, the Louisiana sugar cane
planters are now constructing railways
for the transportation of the bulky sugar
cane from the fields to the mills. These
roads, of course, are portable, at least in
part, to suit the convenience OF changing
from one field to another, and, also, for
moving around to keep up with the cane
cutting. On very large plantations it
will, no doubt, prove to be great advan-
tage over the OLD slow way of hauling.
Many OF our Georgia lumber mills now
have railways, some of them running
many miles into the forests. Railways
and locomotives are now so cheap in COM
parisOn with their almost prdhibitOry cost
of former days, that we yet expect to see
them utilized in transporting muck and
other vegetable matter to the exhausted
farm lands in the vicinity of the deposits
of these materials.

There is no better indication Of the
growing prosperity Of the South than the
increase in the receipts of the railroads
OF the South during the months of May
and June. These increased receipts were
mainly from passenger traffic, showing
that there are more people in the South
able to travel, and also that more North
erners are visiting the South.

The Use of Two Sages.

The fancy of the Republican organ
grinder lightly turns to thoughts of Tilden
and Hendricks. AS a campaign joke on
the Democrats 1t will have its little run,
of course. But the Democratic party, re-
iuvenated by large accession of the
fresh young blood of the last decade, will
make its own nomination this time. Both
Tilden and Hendricks declined renomi-
nation in 1850, and they cannot gracefully
seek or accept it now. A pair of childless
old men in feeble health, they are worthy
of yeneratiOn for what they have done and
what they have been, but, like many other
eminent men in the past, they can serve
their party best by not being Its nominees.
