The Cactus Hedge Plant,

Col Mhoon came into our Office on last
Tuesday and authorized the publication oi
the following in reference to the Cactus
Hedge Plant. He expressed himself even
better satisfied with the plant than is set
forth in the testimonial. Col Mhoon being
practical man and careful in making
such trial, his testimony is valuable. He
extends an invitation to any one interests
ed to call and examine his hedge, one mile
south of West Point.
This is to certify that | have worked
with and tried, to some extent, the Cactus
plant as hedge for the past year, and so
far am perfectly satisfied with the result.
1t stood the drouth of the summer and the
cold Of winter unscathed by either, l am
satisfied that nothing will eat it, neither
will it spread to places where the growth
is not wanted. In fact it has in every res
spect come up to the representations ofMr
Higgason, of the Cactus Hedge Co. thus far.
There is no doubt that it will make the
best hedge that can be raised in this coun-
try. IT, it fails to prove satisfactory it is
because it has not received the proper at.
tention. The faults with the grower and
not with the plant. JJ MHooX.
CLAY County Leader.
The following from the Canton Picket,
speaks for itself:
A USEFUL PLANT Monday last Cactus
Hedge plant was sent to the Exposition
from this county by Commissioner Reid.
1t was found growing in the vicinity of
Canton, where q sprout from Texas had
been stuck in the ground o few weeks ago.
1t is now about six feet high and very
dense in its growth. In Texas this plant
is extensively used for hedge purposes and
hedges Of it after few years growth will
turn any animal, from buffalo 10 q rabbit
We call attention to this plant because 1t
seems especially adapted to this soil. The
growth Of fthe plant found here,
without care or cultivation, is proof Of
this, and we suggest the idea that the
Cactus Hedge may solve the question in |
which all farmers hereabouts have an in- |
terest-the fence question. Timber is
growing more scarce year after year, and |
even when there is plenty of timber, the |
farmers know the difficulty of getting rails |
split. The Cactus hedge grows from cut,
'in8s, ~ any sui, Ilch UT pour, ana neeus
attention only the first year, we are told,
md when the hedge is grown it is hedge
or lifetime.
Mr. Walter Crump is agent for the Cac-
us in this section, and would be pleased
o receive orders. There IRE now several
rowing hedges in this county. We think
fine idea for some of our farmers to
ry.
