TRUCK FARMING,

! TRUCK FARMING,
and the representative of the News
and Advertiser who attended the
convention of the fruit and yege-
table growers of Southern Geor-
gia at Quitmau on Saturday last
Is enabled to lay some facts and
figures before our readers this
morning with reference to this
comparatively new but important
home industry that will be start
ling to those who have never seen
them before or given any thought
or attention to the production of
melons and vegetables for North
ern markets.
are all the rage, and have, so far,
proven to be the most profitable
crop with the truck farmers with
whom we talked; but thousands of
acres will also be planted along
the line of the S. T. & w. R'y.
this season in such early vegeta-
bles as okra, cucumbers, sugar
corn and Irish potatoes. Mr.. G.
r. McRee, of Lowndes county,
who has made melon growing very
profitable for several years past,
says that he has never made less
than an average of half a car load
OF melons per acre, last year being
the first time his yield has ever
been that small.
As good many in Dougherty
and adjoining counties are prepar
ing to plant melons and vegetables
this season, and are interested in
the practical points of the subject,
our representative questionedsuch
men as McRee and Dasher, of
Lowndes, and Perham, Talley and
Brooks, of Brooks, and took notes,
with the view of grouping togeth-
er as much information with ref
erence to the cultivation, shipment
and sale Of melons as possible.
From the above well-known and
reliable sources we learned:
That from 1000 to 1900 mar
ketable melons can be made on all
acre of good land;
That an average car load of
melons of marketable size is 1000;
That an average profit on last
years crop was $3.50 per car
load;
That the first melons of the sea-
son shipped by Mr.. Eddie Young,
OF Quitman, netted him $5O0-one
car load;
That the prices of melons in
Louisville, Nashville and Chicago
early last season ranged from so
to Is sents apiece, and never went
below 20 cents during the season;
That shape as well as size is an
important requisite for marketable
melons;
That green and striped rinds are
the most popular, those with
white rinds being rejected, it is
supposed, on account of their re-
semblance to the old pine melon;
That Mr.. McRee cleared last
year $4,000 on 100 acres of mel
ons, and his yield per acre fell be-
low that of any previous year
since he has been engaged in the
business;
That the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad offered better accom-
mediation and more reasonable
rates to the fruit and vegetable
growers last season than any other
road III the country, and that it
will be literally patronized this
year;
That the freight on a car load of
melons from Albany to Nashville
last year was $65; to Louisville,
$40; to Chicago, $l05; to Evans
vile and Indianapolis, 800.
THE PLANTING AND CULTIVATION OF
MELONS,
We found that there was quite a
diversity of opinion among those
we interviewed with reference to
the number of "hills" to be plant
ed to the acre, orrather we should
perhaps say, as to the dimensions

Minister Sargent and the
Germans.

London, 2.-The Times publishes a
special from Berlin, which undertakes
TO explain the misunderstanding or mis-
representation on the part Of the North
German Gazette, in respect to the pub
LEGATION in a New York paper Of Minis
ter SarRent's report TO Secretary Freling-
huysen upon the pork question. The
point of the special correspondents ex-
plsn alton is that what was published the
day before yesterday by the North Ger
man Gazette was, in reality, the report
of Sargent to the state department., and
was printed in order to show that the
North German GaSette'S late personal
attack, which Sargent would have been
entitled to consider gross infringement
by the newspaper upon his privileges as
foreign ambassador, was based upon an
incorrect translation by the New York
Handel Zeitung Of Ssrgent's report.
The North sGeTnsG11 Gazette, in repro
ducing the report, prefsces it by what
the Times correspondent characteristics as
weak and transparent attempt upon
the part of the management to excuse
their unwsrrsntsble attack. This is the
only excuse Vouchssfed by the Berlin
paper. Gnd it is the general opinion here
that, while the apology is ample enough,
it must be regarded, nevertheless, as en-
tirely inadequate, since it convicts the
North German Gazette Of gross misre-
presentation of the truth.

No Jute Seed ia Washington.

In reply to a communication from
Senator Lamar urging the necessity
for supplying Jute seed to those who
are desirons of experimenting in the
culture of this textile in Mississippi,
Commissioner Loring, Of the Agricul-
tural Department, writes as follows;
In the matter of seed | must con-
fess my inability to cooperate with
your Mississippi correspondents to
the extent you desire. l have at
present but few quarts of seed in
the Department, and the condition Of
the seed fund will not warrant a pur-
chase equal to their requirements
Correspondence was had early in the
present winter with Mr.. II. II. Brown.
Of kenansville, North Carolina, who
offered lot of Jute seed said by him
to be well ripened and in all respects
frst-class. | am not now able to do
better for your friends than to give
them this address.
"There is no longer a reasonable
doubt but that Jute can be grown
successfully in your country so far as
quantity and quality go, and if the
fibre can be prepared for market by
machinery that will take the place of
the cheap labor of India and other
Eastern countries, the problem as to
the successful culture of Jute in this
country will be solved"
In this connection we may say that
Senator Lamar will use his utmost
endeavor to have an appropriation for
the purchase Of ,Jute seed made at the
present session of Congress, though it
is doubtful whether a supply can be
obtained in time for this seasons
planting.

Looking Alter our Public Lands

Hon. John Smylie, commissioner OF
the Land Office Of Mississippi, is ac-
lively at work in the Interior Depart
ment hunting up the lands to which
our State is entitled, and has thus far
succeeded in finding tens Of thou
sands of acres. In every instance
where the lands are unsold he will
have the patents made out to the
State, and where sales have been
made he will demand payment at the
rate of $l.25 per acre.
He needs for this service half a
dozen expert clerks but the Depart
ment is so short-handed that it can
rive him no clerical assis ance what
ever, and does consequently all the
work himself and will continue at it
until the claims Of our State are fully
settled.
