GOOD NEWS FOR THE
FARMERS OF COW
INGTON AND
VICINITY.

New Orleans, March p, 1898.
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
While collecting material for a
series of articles on the Resources
of Louisiana, which ! will publish
in the s:Golden Jubilee Edition OF
the German Gazette, August LIST,
| learned from authentic sources,
(Messrs. Ferguson, of the East
Louisiana Railroad, and Joyce, of
the Southern Express Co., that a
trial is to be made, next season,
with giving the farmers of Coving-
ton and vicinity fast freight ser
vice to Cincinnati and Chicago,
such as the farmers along the 1lli-
nois Central Railroad have been
enjoying for some time.
A special express car is to leave
Covington, on stated days, which
will be attached at Pearl River
Station to the fast train going
North.
Owing to the high prices early
vegetables command at Chicago
and other Northern markets, the
farmers Of Covington and vicinity
will thus be enabled to enter a very
promising field. Fast freight ser
vice has done a great deal toward
building up the country along the
Illinois Central Railroad. 1t has
brought thousands of immigrants
with capital and enhanced the
value of land considerably.
/ understand that Mr.. Chas. w.
Eichling, the well-known Seedman,
Decatur and Hospital streets,
New Orleans who is also an agent
of the Southern Express Co. for
the shipping Of vegetables to the
North, is to give his special atten-
ton to the country around Coving-
ton, and / am sure that also the
st. Tnmmany FARMER will lend its
powerful aid, by encouraging the
farmers of the parish to plant early
vegetables for next Spring.
Yours very truly,
J. HANNO DEILER.
A fast train to the Northern
markets has long been needed, and
the news that it is to be supplied will
be hailed with general satisfaction.
We have frequently heard farmers
say they would enter extensively
into the cultivation of early vegeta-
bles and berries, if there was any
way of shipping them promptly to
the North. Now that the oppor-
tunity is to be afforded them to do
SO, they will doubtless take advan-
tage of it, and make their future
plans accordingly.
