TRUCK GARDENING III THE SOUTH,
The Memphis Commercial think,
that truck gardening in the South is
still in its infancy, and that it can be
made very profitable in the vicinity OF
every Southern town and city.
That is what we have contended for
many years. When the supply exceeds
the local demand the great cities of
the North and West stand ready to
take 1t at good prices. The CONNER
cial says:
"To calculate what profits have actually been
made by truck farming in various parts # the
world would seem like exaggeration, but the
facts transcend fancy. As a new bit of col
lateral information on this subject, it may be
mentioned that, a few years ago, the famous
English novelist, George Meredith, found that
his literary profits were not sufficient for his
needs. He planted a few acres near London
in garden truck, and has been independent
enough ever stree to devote his whole time to
letters. John G.. Sake did the same thing in
Texas, with a like result"
The establishment Of canning factO-
ries in the South will give the truck
gardeners and fruit growers a chance
to save their perishable products and
sell them in all the markets of the
world. The canning industry is des-
tined to turn the fruit and vegetables
Of the SOUTH into gold. We hope the
day is not far distant when Scranton
will have a canning factory of sutfi-
cient capacity to can all the fruits and
that may be raised in Jack
son county.

Jno. II. Hull, Esq. Dear Sir
was upon the eve of leaving for this

having made an appointment pre-
vlously was compelled to come and
at this hOur-l2 NIT seems very
doubtful about my getting off to-
night. do not know that it Is i'm
portant, however, as my views are
known-thc people of the southern
counties OF Mississippi. l think Il
majority of them fully realize that
there as yet appears no hope in either
OF the existing parties and are ready
to aid any new movement that looks
honestly like atfording relief. There
must be something wrong when such
a country as this is so full OF bank
ruptcy, crime and distress, and the
people see no hope in listening to the
present parties berating each other,
however truthful the charges may be
on both sides. Conservative men OF
this State have been ordered to stand
back.
They should now stand togethe. and
l believe they will form a company
large enough to surprise those valient
mcn who command them to get out.
The conservative men should organize
In some way-I am willing to do what

all the people can have an opportunity
to express themselves. | thought
Hooker would come out on the liberal
platform and be ii conservative man,
but understand that he espouses the
cause OF Bourbonism and conventions.

THE APPLE CRoP.-Early last spring
the expert fruit culturists gave it out
that the apple crop of the West would
prove failure on account of the buds
being killed by frost. This statement
was accepted and had the effect of
sending up the price of dried apples
several points. From recent develop
ments, however, the experts were off
in their conclusions, as the apple crop
of the West is one Of the largest in
years. st. Louis is one of the largest
apple distributing centres in the coun-
try, and as such handles great num-
Der of barrels daily, but great as its
capacity the same was taxed to its ut
most recently, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. 10 one week there were re-
ceived by boat and rail, according to
figures furnished by the Merchants
Exchange, 47,027 barrels. This does
not include those received by wagons
from the orchards of Missouri and Hi
nois, which are estimated at eight
thousand barrels The week before
3D. ,799 barrels were recorded by the Mer-
chauts' Exchange statistician. These fig
ures are simply enormous when COM
pared with those for the corresponding
period year ago. With moderately
fair crop last year the receipts ran from
$500 to 5000 barrels. From the sources
mentioned above the receipts from
January to October 20, were III ,213
barrels. From January l to October 20,
1898, were S4 ,460 barrels-tbe receipts
this year more than doubling those OF
last year.
The bulk of the receipts were
Missouri apples, mainly .'Ben Davis. "
The quality of the fruit, too, is very
good. OF course the unprecedented
run demoralized prices to certain ex-
tent, there being drop of about 40
cents per barrel last week. Local
dealers bought literally and placed
them in cold-storage warehouses. The
larger cold storage warehouses are now
filled to overfowing. Prices in car
lots ranged from $3.50 to $2.10 per bar
rel for good fancy apples, which include
Roman Beauty, Winesap, Huntsman
and fancy Ben Davis. Geniting brought
from 81 to Sl.50 per barrel. Last year
at this time apples were quoted in ex-
tremes at 81 25 to 375. The run is not
over, and liberal receipts are expected
for many weeks to come.
