APPLE CROP.

Such information as we have been
able to gather from the crop reports
sent out from Washington for Septem-
Der, concerning the condition of the
apple crop, we have given our readers
that they might see the Importance of
taking care of their apples. From this
report we may infer that our apples,
especially our late apples will command
good prices both green and dry. No
other variety of fruit is so valuable as
the apple, and no State in the Union
is better adapted to its culture than
Tennessee, and especially the middle
aud eastern counties. We have from
time to time endeavored to impress our
people with the Importance of giving
more attention to the culture and care
of their fruit trees Last year our fruit
crop was valuable and proved profit
able both dry and green, especially so
to those convenient to the railroads.
The apple crop will be more profitable
this year if it is properly cared for.
White county is SC on to have railroad
facilities, and if hef good people will
turn their attention to fruit growing
and stock raising, instead Of grain
making, they will certainly soon find
themselves growing richer and richer
every year. Plant your orchards on
such lands as are likely to bear fruit
every year, and give them such atten-
ton as Northern and Northwestern
men give their orchards and with the
advantage of climate, we can excel
them both in quantity and quality.
The evaporation, so far as we know, is
proving a success. Those who are
making nice evaporated apples, and
there are many of them, and put up in
nice packages are being allowed to
draw ten cents per pound on their ship
ments. Of course their commission
merchants expect to realize more than
ten cents or they would not advance so
much per pound.
What business will pay the farmer
better than to evaporate his apples when
he can realize ten cents per pound, and
perhaps more? The demand for green
and well dried fruits is increasing,

WE publish this week the official re-
port of Mr.. E. H. Owen, engeneer of
the Lowell Manufacturing Company,
who visited the Caney Fork Falls last
June to make estimate of that valuable
mill site and water power. This report
is far more favorable than the owner,
Asa Faulkner, Esq, had expected.
As that fine and valuable mill site is
sooner or later to become the Lowell
of the South, many of our readers will
read the report with much interest.
With the report is an interesting trans
verse design or drawing of the falls
with scale. This is one of the finest
mill sites in the South with ample pow
err without building dams to run sever
al cotton mills.

TENNESSEE DAY.

Next Thursday, Oct. 4th, will be
Tennessee day at the Louisville Expo
sitiou. This will no doubt be one of
the biggest days of the exposition, as
hundreds of Tennesseans will be pres
ent. The display of Tennessee pro-
ducts made by Commissioner McWhir-
ter is one of the most noticeable features
of the exposition, and has won the
praise and admiration of visitors from
all sections of the country. Every
Tennessean who can possibly attend the
exposition should try to be there on
that day.

and while our sister States of the South
can beat us growing early Irish pota-
toes for the early northern markets,
they cannot interfere with our apple
markets much. Farmers in all locali-
ties should study the kind of crops
which are likely to pay the best, all
things considered, and grow them to
perfection as nearly as possible. We
can grow the apple almost to perfection
in this country, if we will, and can
make it very profitable.

APPLE CROP OF THE UNITED
STATES.

We collect from the September crop
reports sent out from Washington, some
information which will be of interest to
fruit growers in Tennessee. There has
been no improvement since last report
in the apple crop. Much fruit has
fallen, and such as has not fallen is
generally reported as small and imper.
feet. From most correspondents the
reports are "Apples almost a failure.
In some sections there are splendid
crops reported, but as general thing
the crop is far below an average. From
some of the fruit States we have the
following reports:
Maine-Very light all over the
State.
New Hampshire-The yield will not
be half that of an average year.
Massachusetts-The apple crop, ex-
cept in the southeastern part of the
State and Berkshire county, is almost a
total failure.
Rhode Island-The apples are poor
and there will not be a half crop.
Connecticut-Apples are reported as
few and poor.
New York-Not more than one.
fourth of crop in the State, and quail.
ty poor.
Delaware-Apples will yield about
80 per cent. of a full crop. This is a
good showing for Delaware for an of
year.
West Virginia-Apples about one
fourth of full crop.
Alabama--Apple crop nearly or
quite failure except in a few coun'
ties.
Kentucky-Apples not good. Not
half crop raised.
Tennessee--The State will not pro.
duce more than half a crop, and gen
orally of inferior quality.
Ohio-Apples virtual failure.
Michigan-Apples are failure.
Wisconsin--Apple crop complete
failure.
In September report only fourteen
States are specially mentioned, but
from the general summary ofreports We
find it stated, "Apples almost fail
ure."
The little State of Delaware is the
only State which has anything like {
full crop. 1t has 80 per cent. of full
crop.
We have published these reports no
only because they are interesting, bu
for the benefit of fruit growers in Ten
nessee that they may be encouraged t.
take care of their fruit which is likely
to command good price both greer
and dry. From present indication
fruit crops will be worth great dea
more money green and dry than mad
into brandy. No perfect apple SHOULD
be distilled as they are sure to com
mand good price. We should bea
in mind that the railroads are willing
and ready to move our apples a
reasonable rates of freight, and tina
every farmer or fruit grower can shil
his own apples if he prefers and saw
commissioner avoid middlemen. 0
if he prefers to take no risk he can sci
his apples at fair price to those VIII
make business of shipping.

Col. j. H. SAVAGE, president of
the Railroad Commission, was here
this week looking after the interests Of
our people. Col. Savage is live,
energetic working man, and while he
is understood as the champion and ad-
vocate of the peoples rights, he seems
disposed to do justice to the roads.
We are glad it is so. We must have
perfect harmony between the producers
and the roads. They are dependent
upon each other. One can not pros
per without the other. The object of
the commission, as we understand it,,
is to prevent discrimination and I'M
Just charges for transportation which
we hope the commission may be able
to do without injustice to the roads.
Let Justice be done all concerned and
all should be satisfied. While the
roads are entitled toa fair compensation
for their work, they ought not to de-
mand or take more from their patrons.
We shall be glad to see the roads
liberal and disposed to favor and en-.
courage the producers. We believe
they will be liberal, at least towards
the agricultural and manufacturing
interests of the country.
