Nye Nee:s a Few Seeds.

SKYLANd, Buncombe Co.,
n. G., July IA, 1891.
Hon Jeremiah Rusk, Secre-
tary of agriculture, Wash.
ington, D. &.
SIR-Would it bother you too
much to send me a few seeds
for my place here in North
Carolina for use another sea-
son? We have a climate here
that is peculiarly adapted to
the greawing OF fruit, but not
especially good for cereals.
1t is about the same climate
as that of France and Italy.
but there are not so many
foreigners here. One notices
while travelirgin France that
it seems to be largely over
run by Canucks. Such is not
the case here. Wehave a good,
quiet class ofresidents, most
ly white, with black polka
dots, Of course, this being
where slavery used to spawn
in early days.
But the country is settled
by a peaceable class of agri-
culturists, who have acquired
from the summer boarder an
air OF being on a perpetual
vaca ton. Many farmers in
Western North Carolina, by
watching their chances, ale
enabled to sell their corn at
forty cents in the fail and
buy back a portion Of it in
the spring at one dollar per
bushel to plant and feed to
stock. This builds up q traf.
fic in cereals, and has a ten.
dency to make the farmers
son ask himself why the far
mer is the most independent
of any class.
Human health il prevalent
to a remarkable degree here
Mr.. Secretary. and it is one
of the two regions of t b
globe where consumption il
unknown. No actual resi-
dents die here. Only stran
gers who came after it was
too late. Many Northern peo
pie who come here with ad
vanced phthisic or tubercu
losis die, especially if botl
lungs are gone, but If th'
windpipe and enough luns
: tissue be left to bait a trap
the air here will soon add OF
a nice new red lung with rea
scallops on the edge. (Elec
trio lights are also commo,
: here.)
: What ] especially desire is
package or two of the seed
less wa termelon seed. SOM
: good hardy house plants
suchas Martha Washingtons
hydrangeas, four-o'clocks
: etc. Also some red eyed pole
less China beans for use. How
are you fixed for potato sal
ad plants.
Crops are all looking well
: Rye is now all harvested ant
is being slid down in shute'
to the stack by those wh(
live on more perpendicular
farms.
Mr.. Clay Williams, a color
: ed man, met up with a fright
full accident while summerfal
loving on one of the hillside
farms below Homing town
ship last week. The scaffold
: it seems. gave way and h
} foil the entire distance to th'
, foot of the farm, striking tn
earth twice on his way dow
and completely disembowel
ing it. BILL NYE.
