A Crop whsch Needs Harvesting hut onoe
Every -Four Years.
In beautiful sweep of lowland north
of Melvale station on the Northern
Central railroad and about nine miles
from Baltimore there Is peculiar farm.
It is peculiar in that it renders to its
owner and tiller but one crop in four
years, and that a crop of willow shoots.
The farmer, Antoine 6path, came from
Frankfort, Germany, many years ago,
and after erecting himself comfcrta-
BILE stone house, which still stands in
the midst of a picturesque ciump Of
willows, at the end Of the little valley,
set about planting his first crop of will
low shoots. Every year since he has
gone on planting row after row until
the valley has become covered with
them. Spath had learned the art of
weaving willow ware in his boyhood
days by the shores of the Main river,
and as fast as his little plantation grew
he gathered the shoots, stripped them
Of their green covering, and after dry
ing them wove baskets Of every con-
ceivable form and size.
at seems rather peculiar work in
this country" said the willow farmer,
speaking of his business, ''but in all
parts of Europe, especially in the Ger
man provinces, it is a very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow weavers, for there willow is
used in many forms and for greater
number of purposes than / find it used
in this country. In Germany and
France willow is employed in making at
least 20 different kinds of bird cages,
while in America metal is used-brass
or iron wire-and different woods.
Among the best families in European
countries cradles, woven by German
workers, may be found constructed en-
hundred and one shapes of marketing
baskets, baskets used by milliners and
laundresses, baskets and panniers to be
carried upon the backs of man and
beasts for holding fish and fowl. In
preparing the willow for the weaver
we plant the slips in long rows paral-
lei with a running stream of water and
cut them when they have attained four
years of growth. The cutting time lis
early in the spring before the sap is
done running, and after tying them In
bundles they are placed in ponds of
water to keep them in green state um-
Oil ready for stripping. Stripping tine
willow is accomplished by drawing fEhe
switches through and between two
heavy iron stanchions, whose edges IeeI
the light green bark from the wlsit
heart, and then, after drying or cutting
them! upon long racks, we have gotsthe

The shipping houses of Morse & Rice
and Short & Schwann present scenes of
busy operation, for there are more ship

make noble and strong effort to get
some little token of remembrance into
every family that circumstances, fate or
misfortune have made too poor to get
such for their children or themselves.
The display of meats and the artistic
ornamented dressing thereof, decora-
tions, etc., at some OF our markets this

FARMHousEs IN A GROUP.
The European Systcm OF Agricultural Life
to BE Tried in Georgia.

The European Systcm Of Agricultural Life
to BE Tried in Georgia.
An agitation has been going on in
Georgia to establish village farming,
and meeting will be called soon at
Floyd Springs, in Floyd county, in that
state, to organize a stock company to
establish this SYST M upon tract COW
erlng twenty-five square miles of good
rolling land. In the tract is stream,
the wnter-power of which it is pro-
posed to use. On the hills are large
orchards, and the creek bottom fur
nlshcs largo proportion of rich land.
This movement is the result of dis
cussion by the local press. The first
suggestion was made in the Rome
Tribune in December and more recent
ly the subject has been followed up by
DIR. II. c. White, of the state univer-
slty, through series of articles in the
Atlanta Constitution. The causes,which
make this change necessary are deep
seated and far-reaching. For years
felonious assaults have been on the in
crease in the south, and it has come to
the pass that prudent men dislike to
leave their families unprotected ON iso-
lated farms while they are at some dis
tance away at work. The chief cause
is the depression in agriculture result
ing from the present system of INSULT
clent culture over awide area. The idea
Is to substitute extensive farming and
sell the surplus land.
An equally important cause is the
lack of social facilities on widely-sep-
aratcd farms, especially during the
winter months, when the roads are Of
ten very bad. Thus, on a tract of
twenty-five miles square, there would
he one hundred and sixty farms of one
hundred acres each, and as many fam
lilies situated at a village in the center
OF the tract, where they would have all
the advantages of urban life, with
schools, churches, a post office, stores,
etc., and at tho same time no man
would be further than two miles from
his farm, and could easily reach it in
twenty-five minutes. Thus all the
monotony of rural life would be avoid
ed while practically all of its freedom
would be retained.
This system has been urged by Gov.
Northen, DIR. White, the Rome Trib-
une, and a number of prominent men.
Similar movements are in proccss of
AN0ioh III OCiAer plrIS OF Lnc stu te,
nnd from what can be seen this new
phase of rural life is likely to extend
throughout the southern states. 1t
will have great effect upon crops,
and it is likely to curtail the produc-
tion Of cotton and increase grain grow

ricultural'and horticultural industries.
1t is part of the Floyd county scheme
to establish a canning factory for the
preservation of the fruit raised.
