There is much said nowadays
about all the various industries and
professions being oyer crowded, but
the truth is that d rst class talent and
first class energy and enterprise are
doing as we'll now, If not better, than
they ever did in all the history of the
world. The fact is, that people want
"first class" everything, and for this
reason there is always room at the top
This applies to farmers as well as
other persons. In every market the

25 to 30 percent more than the produce

There is never an over supply Of the

say, ut won't pay me to fuss.for fancy

Hazel Nuts or Filberts.

Every autumn, as the FiIberts begin
to arrive from Erope, and are offered
for sale in the stores, or by the vendors
in the street of New York, and other
large cities, we hear many persons
inquiring about the cultivation of
these nuts, and wondering why they
are not grown extensively in this
country. We seldom see filberts of
any kind growing IN gardens, and as
for large plantations for raising nuts
to supply our markets, I am inclined
to think they are very rare or entirely
unknown anywhere in the United
States. Why this neglect to cultivate
a nut that is in such demand, is a
question that may be difficult to an
swer, but the fact that IT is neglected,
is quite apparent, else its importation
would have long since entirely ceased
The common hazel nut or filbert of
Europe (Corylus Avellana), is found
wild in Great Britain, and south ward
to Spain and adjacent regions, and
from this great number of varieties
have been produced, which are known
by different names in the countries
where they are raised. They usully
come to our markets under such
rather Indifferent names as English
or Spanish filberta, or per haps occa-
sionlly as white or red filberts. The
greatest supply of the finest nuts
come from Spain, and in European
markets they are known as Barcelona
nuts. Although large quantities of
filberts are raised in Great Britain,
still the English are said To import,
in addition annually, over three hum
dred thousand bushels of nuts to meet
the home demand. The Spanish fl
berts have been noted for their excel
lence for several centuries, and when
they were first imported into Italy
from PoptNs, they were called Nuz
Pontica, name which was afterwards
changed to Nux Avellana, from
Avella11a, place in italy, where the
nuts were extensively cultivated. AS
the improved varieties of fllberts thrive
in Europe, from Great Britain tc
Spain, they should certainly succeed
in the United States, at least where
the climate is somewhat similar tc
that of Italy and spain.-~A. S. Fuller
in American Agriculturist for January

CORRESPONDENCE,

There is much said in the papers
about farmers clubs. I am of the
opinion that there is no one thing
that will benefit farmers so much as
the organization of clubs, and they
ought to meet once month or oftenel
and discuss all matters pertaining tc
farmers and their interests. There
ought to be an organization of this kind
in every town in this county. There
are many farmers who would find
difficulty in writing their opinions,
but in a meeting of farmers in some
school house they could state their
views in way that would benefit
both themselves and their neighbors
Let us organize these clubs. Who
will start the ball rolling?

New Years Day,

BY general usage the beginning of
each year is made time for taking
account of stock. Accounts are
squared as nearly as possible and a
trial balance for the years work is
taken. Any mistakes that have been
made are noted so that they will not
be repeated. The business man is
thus able to see just what progress
he has made during the year that is
past and can intelligently plan for the
future. The practice is All excellent
one and shonld pes even more extern
sively carried out than it is now
With many, too, it is time for
taking account of stock morally and
religiously as we'll as financially.
Swearing OFF, this process is vulgar
ly called. The past life is reviewed
and where's vice or extravagant or
hurtful habit is found, it is resolved
to do better in the future. The use OF
the pipe and the cup is often aban-
doned on New Years day. This pcac-
tice is also to be commended. True
these good resolutions do not, in
many instances, last long but this
should NOT prevent making them. A
good resolution if honestly made and
an effort is made to live up to it, bsne'
fits the person making it, even if it be
broken inside Of twenty-four hours.
The TRIBUNE therefore advises
everybody to use the tune Tomorrow
in taking account of stock. There i:
no business man, farmer, mechanic OF
laborer but what will find much 0
service to him, by carefully review
ing the past years work and accura
tely enumeratin what he has tt
work with for the future; and in TIL.
work, don't overlook yourself, Wher
eyer YOU fnd 9 shanee for Improve
ment resolve firfnly't to make the cor
rection. Ifyou make what good reso
lutions your judgment deems neces
sary and live up to them, to the bes
of your ability, you will have non,
but pleasant rccollections connected

Morris tribune., 1884-12-31

sGhe following from an exchange is
good and sound ADVICE, and if fol-
lowed will keep many persons out of
trouble:
The winter season will soon be with
us and the rural districts will be full
Of tree agents, agricultural impler
ment men and travellers representing
the different industries. Minnesota,
as we'll as all the western states and
territories swarm with these men DUR
ing the winter and farmers frequently
contract for different things, which,
when delivered, cause disappoint-
ment. The best and Safest way is to
sign no paper for a stranger. Only
contract for articles with men who
are known in town county and state.
In ordering trees shrubbery, plants,
seeds and bulbs, except in rare cases,
only purchase from those who live
in the state. In agreeing to buy
agricultural implements, first and al
ways patronize home merchants.
Home industries are the best. If a
Minnesota nursefyman sells through
his agent worthless lot of trees that
are not true to name he can be reached
ana made to do the right thing, SD
with! all other home dealers in the
different articles wanted by the farm.

During the year now closing Morris
has had d good solid substantial
growth. Not such an one as could be
pictured out in Dakota boom style of
a few years ago, butjust such growth
as thriving and enterprising young
city, with ample and varied resources
would naturally be expected to have.
Considering the universally hard
times and the long continued string
ency of the money market, the devel-
opment seems quite remarkable. Nu-
merons substantial business and resi-
dence buildings have been completed
and are now being occupied by the
thrifty people who built them. A
new ten thousand dollar school house
has also been erected. The great ma
jority of business men have been very
successful fer such an "of year" and
but few have failed. Altogether the
retrospect is highly gratifying.
Throughout the county also there
has been notable advancement. A
goodly number of farmers have be-
come residents of the county during
the year. Of the older inhabitants,
there are but few but what have made
progress. Farmers have greater acre
age under cultivation than they had
one year ago. In passing through the
county, a new house or barn or gran
airy or other substantial improvement
is to be seen on almost every farm.
There are more school houses in the
county, better public roads and many
other things indicative of prosperity.
With such record, the people OF
Morris and Stevens county have
nothing to fear and much to anticipate
If progress can lie made during such q
JUL year as 1884, surely great things
can lie accomplished in the better
years to come With the abundant
natural resources of this county and
with enterprising people to utilize
them, there is no such thing as failure
possible. Stevens county is destined
to be one of the most progressive,
prosperous and wealthy counties in
the state.
