MUSHROOM GROWING
 MAY BE PROFITABLE.
Experiments Show Farmers in America Can Raise the Vege-
 table Easily.

LApl0 GdSAAy'
 Charles William Pratt in Chicago Record
 Herald.
 Mushroom growing is the latest innova- ton at the Missouri Agricultural College. It is practically new industry, and has big possibilities.
 Experiments with mushrooms have been conducted for several years, but 1t was only recently that the full importance of the work became evident. It has been fully demonstrated that mushrooms. fully equsf quality to those imported from France, may be grown by any farm- CT in Missouri, and with profit The full significance of this can be realized when considered with the fact that this country buys annually something like $3,0O0,OOO worth of mushrooms from France alone.
 Experiments are Private.
 The prime object of the experiments at Colombia is to shut off this importation. The work is being conducted by Dr. B. M. Dugger formerly of Cornell, whose ser- vices were secured by the college here with this special object in view.
 The plants are growing in the vaults under the State horticultural building, where the experiments are being privately conducted. Professor A. M. Ferguson, the assistant of Dr. Dugger, explained the process.
 The mushroom DeuS COHLdlH blAty Sepd- rate plots. which means that the experi- ments will include sixty distinct methods. The mushroom Is a peculiar plant, and differs from any other product. It does not grow from seed. but Is produced en- tirely by spawn, which Is usually import ed from England. It comes in odd-look- ing cakes, or bricks. eight inches by four, composed of closely packed earth and manure, in which the spores are contain ed.
 After the bed is prepared, all that is necessary is to put this brick into it.. Nature does the rest. Within three or four weeks the mushrooms begin to sprout from all sides of the bed, which is com posed of earth and manure. and within six weeks or two months the crop may be harvested
 The whole process of growth Is odd.
 Grow Rapidly from Spawn. ( Almost immediately after the innocula- ton with the mycelium the spawn spreads rapidly all through the bed. and within a few weeks the baby mushrooms pop out on all sides. as white as a bunch of lilies, and so thic11ly that the bed is almost hid den. They grow at all seasons, but winter crops are preferred. Mushrooms

 Mrs. Patrick Campbell stirred up a hor- nets nest among the American actresses last week when the cables brought to the Rialto reports of a speech she had recently made at public dinner.
 Put a dab of ermine on an English woman and she becomes q lady. Cover an American woman with ermine and she still bears no resemblance to a lady. America is a mixture of Brixton, Clap ham and pure he'll"
 Such was the remark and members of the Professional Woman's League and the Twelfth Night Club s,in one voice raised their protest.
 If Mrs. Campbell really made such a remark" said Miss Irene Bentley, the star of "The Girl from Dixie company. 'It was not only In exceedingly bad taste, but ridiculous. for Mrs. Campbell pur- chased her gowns in America and on sew eral occasions remarked that she pre- ferred the style of America to that even of Paris"
 Mrs. Campbelrs alleged statement Is really unworthy If discussion" was Miss Blanche Bates comment. Personally. doubt its authenticity, although the re- ports seem to be straight enough. I re- call, however, that when she returned to Europe, she carried more trunks laden with gowns than she brought over with her"
 Anna Held, Lillian Russell. Daisy Greene and Sadie Martinot were among the American actresses who took up the cudgels in behalf of the style and gem tility of American women.

Officers families have had much trou- ble with servants and as a remedy the following orders have been issued: Fort Sam Houston, Tex. General Order No. 62. 1. Owing to the difficulties experienced in getting and keeping servants in the post. the following regulations will be strictly enforced:
 2. Any servant discharged by an officer in this post will not thereafter be allowed on the reservation.
 3. Any servant who leaves an officer will not be employed by any other officer within six months without the written consent of the officer for whom she last worked.

Montgomery May Be Represented ir
 New Orleans.


 Montgomery may be represented at the convention of the Four States Immigra- ton League in New Orleans on Nov. g and TO-
 This convention is attracting wide- spread attention throughout Texas. Lou isiana, Mississippi and Alabama. A low rate has been secured for all delegates attending the convention. and the va- rious railroads throughout this territory are cooperating with the work which the organization is attempting.
 President Alex Rice is anxious to send a representative delegation to New Or leans in behalf of the Commercial and Industrial Association of Montgomery and desires to be notified of members who are interested in the purposes oi the convention and have time to at tend.
 The Committee on Papers and Maga zines of the Commercial and Industria Association has selected a list of pc riodicals to which the organization will subscribe for the ensuing six months This feature of the membership in tn association is attractive and the com mittee brides itself upon furnishing larger and more varied list of litera ture to its membership than any simila organization in the entire South. Tn | magazines are bound from year to yea and the association library has there fore an unbroien file of the principa magazines of the country for the pas eight or ten years.

pursued by the company is believed to
have brought about more stable conditions,
both in the fertilizer and cotton oil trade,
which will result in very largely increased
profits for the current year.
The fertilizer business is, perhaps, the
most stable in the world SO far as the de-
mand and need for its products goes.
Through good and bad times fertilizers
are required, and the Virginia. Carolina
Chemical Company, in bad times when
the prices of material and labor are near
ly always low, has, in times past, done a
more profitable business than in periods
of great general prosperity.
The chief demand for fertilizer is for
raising cotton, and the present high prices
of cotton and the probable continued good
prices for several years to come, are like
ly to call for the increased use of fertilizer.
The common stock of the Virginia Caro-
lima Chemical Company has sold as high
as 76 or II; the preferred has sold around
1884, At noon today the preferred sold at
so and the common at 221z.

A SIGHT WORTH SEEING.
W NJ, Morgan and J. g Shaw Have Wed Will
Each Other in Growing Tobacco
Especial to News and Observer

Fayetteville, N. c., Aug. GA sight
which is richly worth the trip to see il
the splendid tobacco farm OF Mr.. w. NJ
Morgan, President of the First National
Bank of Fayetteville, and Hon. j. CT
Shaw, eX-Congressman from this district
They seem to have Wed with each Other
as to which could show to the world what
more wonderful things could be expected
from old Cumberland county, and | have
never seen finer tobacco anywhere than
saw three miles west of Fayetteville or
the lands of Messrs. Morgan and Shaw
Each have forty acres in cultivation and
the fields looked almost like a sheet OF
beautiful water, so green and level and
perfectly even that it seems one might sal
over its beautiful surface, imagining that
he was on a lake of water instead of a
field of tobacco. Each had just begun tC
cure and it is curing well and has a fine
color and tough and rich as you please
There is no telling what is in store for
this favored section, for they can have a
moneyed crop to put upon the market al
most every month in the year, and have
no doubt the example set by Messrs. Nor
gan and Shaw will soon be the cause OF
Cumberland's growing her share of the
golden weed, causing many of the seeming
barren sand hills to become more like gold
mines. Crawford Cooper, cashier of the
First National Bank, is responsible for
most of this. for who could expect a
Granvilian to be content without seeing
tobacco growing.
