TRUCK FARMING In THE SOUTH.
Profitable Returns From the Growth OF
Vegetables in That Section.

Cotton, sugar and rice are most heaI
OF as the agricultural products OF this
part of the South. aud. naturally,
Northern farmers who think of emil
grating to this section of tue Union
are kept back by the idea that these
staples are SO different from the wheat
corn and oats they have been accustom-
ed to grow that they fear to make the
experiment.
Doubtless in the growing of cotton
and sugar some experience is require d,
but the readiness with which North
ern agricnlturists nave taken TO the
rice growing in Louisiana show that
there are no mysteries in it, and the
.slecess Of many newcomers in that
line of grain growing has attracted
many Others. and will continue to at
tract people who want tc escape from
the severe climate of Northern lati
tudes for the mild and genial air of
these SouthernStates.
But rice farming does not offer the
attractions that are to be found In
growing early vegetables and fruits for
Northern markets, and when the fact
goes out that truck and fruit growing
in this part of the country yields from
$1O0 to 81 600 to the acre, extravagant t
as seem the figures. they are simply
statements of truth.
Lettuce, beans, radishes, onions,
tomatoes and cabbage are grown with
profit. At Hammond, PontcbatOula.
Roseland and other points in Louisi-
ana may be found growers who have
made from 5000 to 81 ,0O0 per acre in
cultivatipg lettuce; radishes, from
800 to 200 per acre; beans. from $125
to SIZE. Cabbages grown on drained
swamp lands few miles north of New
Orleans have proved very profitable.
With direct railway lines carrying
refrigerator cars to all Northern cities,
every market is open to these crops
Of course, everything depends on man
agement ; but with wise and intelligent
Ire, there's money in the business
Of course, fortunes do not drop IN
every body's lap in the South any more
than in the North But even if truck
farming only pays fair returns, wher

A GRIEvOUS WRONG.
Henry Watterson on RooseveIi's Course
Toward the Negro.

In the course of an interview Henry
Watterson was asked by reporter OF
the New York Daily News.
s'Is there any method in President
Roosevelt's s recent attitude toward the
negrO?"
There was no further hesitation. Mr.
WattersOn took the bit in his teeth at
once.
1T would be very strange. indeed,
he said, "al things considered, If MI
Roosevelt di 4 not have very distinct
purpose before him with respect to the
colored brother. It may be, as is
claimed, that he has appointed fewer
negroes to Office than any one OF his
predecessors. but he has certainly put
| the negro more in evidence. From the
Booker Washington incident to the
recent White House receptions, he has
brought the negro into disagreeable
and damaging conspicuity.
Doubtless be is evidently sincere in
seeking to deal out equal and exact
justice in the matter of man to man;
nevertheless, one cannot lose sight OF
the idea of the negro delegates IN the
next National Republican convention,
and the negro vote, which is determi
nate in three or four of the great N or

"Do you think he will get the Repub-

opinion, be nominated by acclamation,
but if be Democrats are wise he will

Good Horses Sell Well.

The demand for all the better classes
OF horses is far greater than the sup
ply, because farmers became discour
aged six or eight years ago, and quit
breeding, when panic prices were be-
low cost of production, and the fear
that the bicycle and electricity would
soon displace the horse. With the re-
vival of commercial prosperity came
the increased demand for good horses;
and with no breeding for few year,
the horse buyers soon culled out the
good horses. and we are now in the
midst OF horse famine.-Rural

1t has been remarked that some
swine breeders mistake fatness for
health and vigor. Fat does some
times indicate thrift, but not always.
When a pig has been properly fed on
balanced rations and lays on fat it is
an indication of vigor, for the ami
NAL is getting the most possible out
of the food. But when the ration is
one of corn only and the pig gets fat
the Indications are not such as may
be trusted to indicate health. The
fat comes in that case from an at
tempt of nature to build up the body
through celebrating large guam
tity of food. AS the food is in that
case mostly fatforming great deal
of fatty tissue is elaborated in the
work of getting small amount Of
muscular tissue.-Farmers Review.
