"A number of people have
gone from Terrell to Florida this
winter, whare they propose "to

We imagine that when the alliga-

toes, compiled with the fact that ali

them in the face, they will sigh
for the sweet times in Terrell.
The utter destruction Of the
oat crop seems certain in some
sections. Some farmers tell us
that their entire crop of the sec
ond sowing is killed. Here is a
good opportunity to experiment
upon March planting of oats.
t;ood results have followed that
VENT re in many instances, and
the probability Of killing freezes
are thus headed OFF, for they do
not visit us 80 late III the year.
Some of our planters, however,
say they will not SOW again.

The Cranberry Crop.

MEN. X. French, statistician OF the Ameri.
can Cranberry Growers association, esti-
mates, from reports received from the prin-
cipsi cranberry growing sections, that the
lss6 crop will amount to coo, 600 bushels in
round numbers, against 10000 estimated
last year. The figures, 1t IL thought, will be
largely exceeded, as the actual crop lsat year
WAS 100000 bushels. At a meeting of the
above named association at Toms river, n.
j., September 4, tho question of the best
manner of disposing OF the annual cranberry
crop received the earnest attention OF grow
ers. In order to secure a market, new chan
nels OF trade must be opened. Last year no
less than l50,0 coo bushels failed to find an
outlet, the enormous quantity OF 10000
bushels being marketed only by great exer-
tions. Heretofore sending the fruit to Eng
land in crates proved unsuccessful, prnci-
pslly because OF lack of knowledge there
Of how properly to cook it The market
there last fall seems to be glutted by only
l,9o0 crates. Growers should cooperate not
only to seek new channels o. consumption,
but also to provide means OF Introducing
their fruit, by preparing properly cooked
samples for free distribution in sections
where cranberries are as yet unknown.
President Brakley stated at the meeting thRt
new worm, possessing great vitality and
very destructive, had made its appearance
at Riverhead, Long Island, New York. 1t
has, AZ yet, been in only one bog and feeds
either on the surface or beneath the ground,
during the day. 1t ia about half an inch
long, and of a jet black color. Prot. Riley OF
Washington, to whom specimens were sent
