Failure in Truck Farming.

The present year in Georgia promises to
be a very unsatisfactory n for truck
farmers. From all parts Of the State re-
ports say that the crops are short and that
the prices have not been as high as might
have been expected under this shortage.
In Savannah, where the truck season is
about ended, the farmers, with rare exeep-
lions, have been losers, and it is estimated
that the yield has been forty per cent. less
than that in a good year.

The durability Of this timber is
forcibly illustrated by fallen trunks
that are perfectly sound after lying in
the damp woods for centuries. Soon
after these trees fall they are over
grown with moss, in which seeds lodge
and terminate and grow up into vigor-
Gus saplings, which stand in a row on
the backs Of their dead ancestors. OF
this company Of young trees perhaps
three or four will grow to full stature,
sending down straddling roots on each
side, and establishing themselves in
the soil; and after they have reached
an age of two or three hundred years,
the downtrodden trunk on which they
are standing, when cut into, is found
as fresh in the heart as when it FELL

The salutations of different coun-
