FRUIT GROWING CENTER
FIFTY FARMS WITHIN A FIVE-MILE
RADIUS OF INDIANAPOLIS.
About 10000 Gallons of Strawber-
SeasOn-ShiDping to the North.

But few people are aware of the great
increase of fruit growing in this section.
Fifteen years ago there was not what could
be called fruit-producing farm in the CEN
trail part of the State. Now within a
radous of five miles there are fifty fruit
growers who raise fruit of all kinds on a
large scale and most of them have gone
into the business in the last five years.
The home and some of the adjacent mar
kets at certain times in the year are sup
piled by fruits raised near Indianapolis. on
these fruit farms are raised strawberries,
cherries pears. currants, red and black
raspberries, bIackberries, gooseberries,
grapes, plums and cantelopes on large
scale.
George Blue probably has the largest
fruit-growing farm in this section, sixty
acres of ground being covered with trees
and vines and there is no fruit grower in
the State who raises as many pears and of
as fine varieties as his. The Blue Brothers
have one hundred acres, most of the land
being set out with fruit trees and vines.
Schideler & Edwards have sixty acres of
ground in use for the same purpose. Then
north of the city are the fruit farms of
Messrs. Dye, Mustard, Tibbetts and Wal
VII w ~ SAC ilOl QullG 81 GALSllSlNC IL dlI
growers as those named above but all
raise large quantities of fruits. Then south
of the city are the fruit-growing farms of
M. Morgan, d. H. Merrill, A. Dunn, 3. F.
Lyon, A. Dillingham;. S. M. Hendricks, w.
H. Walcott j. Hendricks. w. A. Staples,
W. A. Holler l. w Swartz and S. Butler.
These fruit growers have from five to thir-
" acres OF ground covered with various
KINDS or fruit trees and vines and each
sells large quantities of fruits. One of the
larger of the fruit growers on Saturday
estimated, and he said his estimate was
certainly low, that 10000 gallons of straw
berries were grown within radius of five
miles of indianapolis this season and fully
as large q quantity of red and black rasp-
berries. The blackberry crop this season
from this section will reach rs 900 gallons.
one of the fruit growers says that usually
the raising of fruits pays a very good profit
but this year, so far as the small fruits
are concerned, so abundant were the crops
that the profits, If any, will be small. 1t
is too early to say how it will be with the
later fruits, apples and pears and pums.
IhlS year some of the strawberries raised
near indianapolis were shipped to northern
handlers. For years Indianapolis depended
. largely on Tennessee. Kentucky and Michi-
gan for fruits and for the early and the
later supplies is now somewhat dependent
on these States, but with each year the
home fruit growers supply the market
earlier and later than the preceding year.
1t Is stated that no finer fruits are now
grown than those gathered in this section,
both in size and quality.

w E. Du Bots. in the Atlantic.
The power of the ballot we need in sheer
elf-defense, and as a guarantee of good
faith We may misuse it. but we can scarce
do worse in this respect than our whilom
masters Freedom, too, the lOng-sought, we
still seek-the freedom of life and limb, the
freedom to work and think. Work, culture
and liberty-all these we need, not singly
but together; for to-day these ideals among
the negro people are gradually cOalescing,
and finding a higher meaning in the unity
ing ideal of race-the ideal of fostering the
trait and talents OF the negro, not in oppo-
sltion to- but in conformity with the great
er ideals Of the American republic, in order
that some day, on America soil two world
races may give each to each those charac-
teristics which both sadly lack. Already
we come not altogether empty-handed
there is to-day no true American music but
the sweet wild melodies of the negro slave
the American fairy tales are Indian and
African: we are the sole oasis of simple
faith and reverence in a dusty desert of
dollars and smartness. VIII America be
poorer if she replace her brutal, dyspeptic
laundering with the hght-hearted but de-
termined negro humility; or her coarse,
cruel wit with loving joVial good humor.
or her Annie Rooney with Steal Away?
Simply a stern concrete test of the under
living principles of the great republic is the
negro problem. and the spiritual striving
OF the freedmen sons is the travail of souls
whose burden is almost beyond the measure
of their strength, but who bear it in the
name of an historic race in the name of
this the land of their fathers fathers, and
in the name of human opportunity.

The tomato canning establishments will
increase their forces this week, the home
crop just beginning to come on to the mar
ket.
The local packing houses are running to
their full capacity for summer months
Kingan & Co. last week averaged 200 hogs
day.
One of the results of a good wheat crop
is its creating a great demand for grain
bags. Last week Murphy, Hibben & Co.
sold over 100000 grain bags, being the larg
est sales of any week in several years.
The Malleable iron works. which have
been shut down for a couple of weeks
owing to the hot weather and TO repair ma
chinery, will resume operations this morn
ing and the prospects are good for a brisk
fail business which will keep the men stead
lily employed.
In 1892 G.. H. Shower, of this city, built
several wagons for hauling logs down the
mountains in South America These wag-
ons WEI built strong enough to bear up a
locomotive. Last week he received an order
for two more of these wagons to go to
South America
Never in the history of the Indianapolis
month handled as much live stock as in the
week ending July II. Wednesday was the
banner day, when 165 carloads of stock were
handled at the yards, and on Thursday 1872
carloads and Friday l40 carloads. The re-
ceipts of hogs on Wednesday reached $4,000
head.
New wheat begins to come in in consid
cradle quantities and this morning ali the
local mills will be running about to their
full capacity. The Acme Milling Company
has started up both its mills and is turn
ing out 2,4OO barrels of -four every twenty
four hours, and at the Hoosier and the Ar
cade mills the millers are pushing their pro-
duction.
Many of the Touring mills erected by the
J. b. Allfree Company during the last few
years on their new gravity system are be-
ing enlarged in capacity, as the superior
flour produced by this method is in greater
demand than the mills can supply. This
company is also installing two seventy-tive-
horse power automatic engines in the Terre
Haute House.
On Saturday the Indianapolis Stove Com
pany let the contract for its new foundry
which is to be erected in connection with
the buildings formerly occupied by the In
dianapolis cabinet works One of the new
buildings, which is to be used as the foun-
dry will be 315 feet long by seventy-tive
feet wide; another building will be sixty feet
long by thirty wide, and another building
seventy feet long by fifty wide All are to
be constructed of brick. These three build
ings will be used for foundry, cupola and
machine shops The old buildings of the
indianapolis cabinet works will be used for
erecting, plating, storage and display.
