Once Extended TO the Pacific Ocean !-sfte
of the Largest Nursery in the World.
From the st. Louts Republic
The county of Pike is older than the State
of Missouri itself, having been laid out in
1919. The town OF Louisiana was laid out
in the same year, so that Louisiana, Mo-,
and the estate Of Pike" came into history
at the same time.
When the Territorial Government estab-
ished Pike County its southern boundary
was the northern line of st. Charles Coun-
~, The western line was along the divide
between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
to the extreme northern line of the Terri
tory of Upper Louisiana, and. /. extended

forty ninth degree of north latitude
One of the biggest institutions in Louisi-
ana, Mo-, is the Stark Bros. Nurseries
Eighty years ago there came from Kentucky
to Pike County the late Judge Stark. then a
young man fresh from Old Hiclzory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
and planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky.

to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth This
firm has more than l 900 statesmen and wants
as many more; business men, professional
men, mechanics, farmers and Others how

people in its offices than would be necessary

extensive packing-houses are connected
with the railroad by special track, whence
hundreds of car loads of trees are shipped
annually. The nursery grounds embrace
number OF farms convent ent to the city. and
even extend to Rockport. H., where there
is plant of several million trees
A popularity of the conc ern is the estab-
lishment of large orchards. These orchards,
in "a states, aggregate nearly 80, 90 acres,

more trees on the cooperative arrange
ment. The Nurseries have cen bene-

The Kentucky senatorshIp.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 9-As re-
suit of Saturdays joint session of the
legislature, the United States senator
ship in Kentucky is more in doubt than
ever. Strange as it may seem, it ap-
pears that the republicans will elect a
democratic senator if Poor and Ed
rington, the populists, persist in vot-
ing for Blackburn. Speaker Blanford,
repu blican, is heartily in favor of Car
Isle to beat Blackburn, if St John
Boyle cannot be elected by the repub-
licans. Saturday a stampede took place
when Blackburn came within one vote
of being elected, and the republicans
switched to Carlisle.
