THE FRUIT CROP.


From the best information we can
get, the apple crop of Warren county
will not be large, probably a halfcrop.
While the prices Of fruit, especially
dried apples, have been and are yet
low, last years crop of dried apples,
although it may hayeproyed unproft-
able to dealers, was a source Of con-
siderable revenue to the producers.
The price may be low for the present
crop of apples, but if it is properly
managed it will prove a source Of
much revenue to the fruit growing
counties. None of it should go to
waste. Such fruit as will pay better
sold green should be carefully han
died and marketed at the proper
time. Such as cannot be handled
green should be disposed of in such
other way as will pay best. ...
The peach crop is good. The Or
chards in this county are generally
small and have not been well cared
for, but those who have their trees in
good condition will probably have
fine peaches. They should all be dried
either in the sun or evaporated. The
peach crop of the United States, as a
whole, is not large. Many Of the
peach growing sections have failed
this year. Dried peaches, if well
handled will likely command good
prices.
The blackberry crop is very large,
and when dried.nicely alwayssells for
a good price. Many children can
find profitable employment in pick
ing and drying blackberries while
they are in season.
We should not be discouraged on
account Of low prices. The true policy
is to save everything grown on the
farm and sell it for what it is worth.
We notice those farmers who do this
always have something to sell and
something to buy with. If wewould
all work more and complain less
about hard times we would be much
happier and better off and contribute
something to the happiness of others

new ideas, but are offered as a re-
hinder to those who know, but some
times neglect until too late, to pre-
pare for these valuable crops. We
prepared and sowed in this way last
year small area, and although a
poor season for turnips, we had not
only plenty of turnips and turnip
greens for ourselves and a few other
families, but some to sell. A good
crop of hay was recently cut off the
turnip patch, which alone pays the
expense of preparation, with area
sonable prospect for succeeding crops
of hay. When land is made tho
roughly rich with barnyard manure
it will last for years. We are pre-
pairing another acre in the same way,
and hope to be abundantly rewarded
for our labor of collecting the ma
nure and preparing the ground. In
this way we may soon make several
acres Of good, productive meadow
at comparatively small expense.
The time for sowing is from the both
of July until the 10th of August.
If turnip patches are notyet prepared
it is time they were being made
ready for the seed, which will do
later, but should be sown by the
middle of August if possible.

TURNIPs WITH GRASS.

The time for sowing turnip seed is
at hand, and every family having
garden can and should have a turnip
patch, the larger the better, if the
ground has been made rich and tho
roughly prepared, Even if the gar
den is small, the ground on which
early vegetables have matured and
gone can be cleared up and put in
order for turnips. Sow a patch each
of winter and summer turnips. Don't
fail to sow a patch of seven-tops for
spring salad. This variety will near
ly always stand the hardest winter
frosts and produce the earliest greens
in spring, when so much needed and
appreciated. No family in town or
country, who have a garden spot,
should fail to SOW winter turnips for
greens. For root crop, the White
Flat Dutch, and Purple Top Strap
Leaved are among the best varieties.
The Pomeranean Glove and other
varieties are good for man and beast,
and should be sown in time for a
good crop. There are but few crops
that pay better for the cost of pro-
duction than turnips. They may be
soWn alone Or with grass seed.
Where the land to be sown is intend
ed for meadow, the same prepare
ton for the grass seed will answer for
turnips, and when sOwn together,
with Red Top and Timothy, will
protect each other. The turnips,
when matured, may be pulled up and
stored away, and the grass, if season.
able, will generally produce a large
crop of hay the next season. But to
insure success the ground should be
rich and well pulverized. Almost
any crop will appreciate these condi-
tons Of the soil, and especially tur-
nips and grass. A good way is to Sc
lect early piece Of ground favorable
for meadow, and pen cattle or sheep
on it during the spring and summer,
observing to pillow it occasionally
lfnot convenient to do this, select a
place where you want to make q
meadow, and haul all the manure
you have saved during the summer
and spread over the ground to be
sOwn in turnips and grass. The size
of the patch may be in proportion to
the amount Of manure saved. II
enough only to make one acre rich,
put it all on one acre; or if enough
manure has been saved for two OF
more acres, put it on. Make as
much rich as possible, but be sure il
is made rich. You will not only gel
a good crop Of turnips, but a crop o,

years. Prepare few acres this way
every simmer and fall, and you viii

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
McNIinnville, July5i7, 1885.
The grain trade is dull. Wheat is
reported lowerin the Western mar
kets than week ago, and. from the
statistical reports from the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington, we
are informed that the abundance of
wheat in the United States will not
make it necessary to advance the
price for some time to come.
The prospect for a large crop Of
corn in almost every State and Terri
tory has a tendency to weaken the
price ofcorn. The demand for corn
has materially diminished, and until
the price is lower, not much corn, eX-
cept for bread, will be wanted in the
market. So it will be elsewhere as
the new crop approaches maturity.
If the showers continue for three
weeks longer early corn will be far
enough advanced to mature.
AS the early varieties of apples are
ripening, and the time for beginning
the process of drying is at hand, we
are frequently asked what dried fruit
will be worth. The probability is it
will be low for apples, but the true
policy is to dry all we can and sell
them for the most we can get.
Peaches will probably beworth double
the price of apples, if well cut in
halves and well dried. See that fruit
is thoroughly dried before sending to
market. AS soon as the market
opens we will give our readers such
information as we can obtain from
the most reliable sources. Blackber-
ries will probably be worth 6 cents.
The crop is large, and as other small
fruits are abundant, they may not
be worth so much. The true policy
is to save everything, putting it into
the best shape possible TO realize the
most msney. s g @
Eggs and butter are more abundant
and prices tending downward. Pas
lures have furnished so much rich,
tender grass that the production of
butter has been above the average
and generally of good quality. All
the butter markets seem well supplied
and prices unusually low.
BeeswaX is lower than we have
seen it for several years.
Hog products are more or less in
fiuenced by the prospect of a large
corn crop. 81 eaEE

MURDER AIVD ARSON.
Startling Revelations in the Tragedy a
Woodmere, hIich.

A Detroit dispatch of the 18th says:
Ihe theory that the four members OF
the knoch family, found burned to
death at Woodmere yesterday morn
ing, had previously been murdered has
been substantiated in every detail.
1he case seemed to be so plain, and
the theory of the exploding lamp so
natural, that the authorities were
prone to dismiss it without suitable
inquiry. Some startling facts were de-
Veloped to-day, however. Thefuneral
OF the victims was set for l O'Clock,
and there being a dispute among their
relatives as to the form of burial, the
remains OF the father, son and wife be-
ing IN one coffin, and the wife being
catholic, the prosecuting attorney
was appealed to. That official or
dered the remains held and a post
mortem was held this afternoon. The
brains of Knoch and his wife were
found each to contain q bullet. An
empty revolver was also found in the
runs OF the house. Knoch, it was
known, had not owned q revolver.
The tracks OF footsteps made by q
person leaving the house were also dis.
covered. The theory of suicide is not
tenable, the post mOrtem proving that
the man was shot first, while the
woman, Judging from the condition of
the brain, could have been shot only a
moment Or two before being burned.
The prevailing belief is that robbery
was the motive for the crime. Two
witnesses have appeared who say
Knoch exhibited 81 900 the night OF
the murder, saying he was to pay it
on his land the next day. Knoch's
discharged hired man was also
seen IN Ecores yesterday, and ap-
peared to have plenty of money.
While this is the prevailing theory,
it Is not the only one, however. An
uncle OF the Knochs processes to dis
believe 1t. He says that his nephew is
the third male member of the family
murdered within five years, and that
the elder Knoch, another son and
Frank Knoch have all been put out OF
the way for a different purpose from
mere robbing or revenge. Hedoes not
say what he thinks their other pur-
pose is, but neighbOr claims that the
knochs stand in the way of somebody
securing a rich inheritancein Germany,
and that II the detectives are shrewd
they will trace the three crimes to one
person, and that person the least
suspected man in the world. The
funeral occurred after the post-mor-
tenn, and all the victims are buried in
one small coffin"

Twenty-seVen Miners Imprisoned In
Mine at SanticOkS

/ Mine at Nanticoke.
A dispatch from Wikesbarre. Pa,
! OF the 18th, says: A great mine dis
! aster, resulting in the loss of probably
/ twenty-seven lives, occurred at Slope
! No. /, OF the SusqUehanna Coal Com
| pany at Nanticoke this morning. The
4 men had gone to work without any
/ fear OF danger, and had worked right
! along until about 1890 O'Clock, when
a terrific crash was heard in a distant
/ and abandoned portion of the mine
| The roof had caved in, allowing
a large amount of water, which
| had gathered IN pond on the surface
! above, to rush in through the earth s
| creVlces and into the mine, where
! the men were engaged at work There
was a panic at once. The miners
threw down their tools and at the top
of their voices yelled, "Men, run for
your lives; the water is upon US" All
ran as far as they could, but the water
came rushing madly after them, and
before they could reach the bottom OF
the slope the water was waist high. A
great many succeeded in making their
escape at the slope, but twenty-seven
who were at work in another part OF
the mine were entirely shut off by the
water and all hope Of escape gone, un-
less the water should recede rapidly.
After while the water did slack up,
but a greater evil, and a more horri-
BILE one, was discovered. The water
brought down with it large amount
OF quicksand and this blocked up
the passage ways which virtually
shut the men up as though in prison.
As quickly as possible rescuing par
ties We're organized who went down in
the mine after the water had subsided
and began the work of digging out
their comrades. 1t is doubtful whether
they will be rescued alive. All depends
upon whether the air-course has been
closed by the quicksand. The great
est excitement prevails. Two thou
sand people are crowded around the
mime. The relatives of theimprisoned
miners are on their knees in the mud
praying that they be rescued alive.
The names of seventeen OF the men
are: VIM. Oliver, Frank Kivler, VIM.
Dononue, Isaac Sayer, John Hawks.
John Harper, Ed. Hargraves, Abram
Lewis, William Kivler, Tom Clifford,
William Elke, Andrew Love, John
Shutt, August Winteel, Ed. Matthews,
William Jones, Ed. Jones.
The pumps have been put into oper-
alton. They have a capacity of re-
moving 1000 gallons of water per
minute, and it is expected the mines
will be clear by Monday next. Old
miners believe that the men who are
shut up will be rescued alive.
