We suppose tlat~ the giving OF
mure.tadl nlic lien on the same crop
AID the piing up of mortgages and
liiis of sale Of the same property
yo,.s an every Year, but 1t takes a
ar like the present one To show
i.,. great extent of the practice.
When IL good crop is made those
who practice th,'se things settle up
AID tnus pr-v-n, ex!"sure. But
this ye.ir they couldn't settle up and
their victims are uncovering the
crimes. The small farmers will find
il difficult to get advances next

cautious than ever in picking their
customers.
A GOOD many fruit trees have
been delivered here within the past
week, Our people seem to be wax.
ing up to the culture Of fruit, AMI
We are glad to see it. While some
fruits will not pay, Others do as well
here as anywhere in this country
Besides this the liberal use Of fruits
would lessen greeerS and doctors
bills. Strawberries, blackberrie'
raspberries, grapes, plums. cherries
figs and pomegranites do well here,
and some of them especially well
Enough peaches and apples can be
raised for, ,heacuse. aud our local
markets. We should unquestiona'

especially peeass and walnuts.
