THE WILSON'S ALBANY.

A Texas nurseryman has written us a
somewhat spicy letter charging US with be-
ing on the old fogy list in our recommends
ton of the Wilson's Albany strawberry as
possibly the best general purpose berry to
be had. We didn't exactly make that kind
of recommendation, but merely stated that
the Wilson and the Neunan were varieties
capable Of standing more rough usage than
any varieties known to US. We further
stated that the fruit was entirely passable,
and that the two varieties named were the
varieties cultivated almost exclusively by
the very extensive strawberry growers
about Mobile, Ala, for shipment to North
ern markets. OF course the nurseryman
writing us happens not to have the Wilson's
Albany strawberry for sale. He tells of
many better varieties which he could
supply, no doubt, and since his letter was
intended for appearance in Our Core
Spondence" column, with his name and ad-
dress in full, it was not at all hard to see
what he was driving after. He expected to
get free lad, " but times are too hard to
admit of that sort of thing just now, hence
this kind of article covers all that we can
possibly do for him at present
We are not alone in our good opinion of
the old Wilson's Albany. by any: means
One of the most progressive agricultural
papers of the age is the Massachusetts
Plowman, Boston, Mass. In the issue of
that excellent publication for September 10.
1891, is the following:
The Wilson berry can be shipped GOO
miles and then go on the table in fine condi-
ton. Other berries may temporarily root
it out, but those who like good favored
berry will go pack to it after trying the
tabby and insipid sorts.
Now, what about the old fogyisml Can
you charge it against the editor of the Mas
sachusetts Plowman that he is on the old
fogy lista
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-10-01

for farmers to make SpecialtieS of certain
crops, as their leading crops, and to push
those crops for all there is in them. For
instance, let one man be corn and pork
farmer. another cotton farmer, another a
farmer of some other specially, and SO on.
This thing OF urging a man to go into all
the crops at the same time is little like
trying to make a iack-of-all-trades out of
him-the fellow who is said to be really
good at none of his trades. It seldom pays
best for one to have too many irons in the
fire at the same time.
The Agricultural Journal of Montgomery.
Ala, says We are compelled to plant those
crops that will afford employment for the
labor during the entire year. and for this
reason cotton has been the principal crop,
and one that could always be sold at the
market price. Cotton should be the prin-
cipal crop of the lower South, and we
should so order and conduct our farming
arrangements as to make its production
profitable. The proposition made just be-
fore planting time for a reduction of acre
age in cotton does not meet the issue, and
will never be adopted. 1t is haphazard ad-
vice and is not considered by intelligent
farmers, and ought not to be; nor do those
who give it take their own medicine A
farmer who does not try to practice what
he breaches is 4 very poor adviser.
That is the whole thing in nutshell. as
we say, The farmer should plant most of
that crop which his understanding and lead
ing circumstances enables him to get the
most money out Of. If cotton is that crop,
let it be cotton; if something else is that
crop, let it be something else. But in any
case the crop should be pushed to its very
best. Much scattering may kill the most
small birds but it win not be apt to bag the
