The Captains Story.
Capt. Cousins, of the steamer, gave
the following account Of the disaster:
"At 1850 o'clock Saturday morning
when we were 80 miles to the west
ward Of Tillamook Light on the coast
OF Oregon on our way to this port, Sec
ond Officer Reese reported to me that
the ship was on fire. l fastened from
my stateroom and rang the fire alarm.
Getting all hands on deck, we started
to fight the fire which was located in
the after saloon. When l came ON deck
the flames were shooting 80 feet high
out of the saloon skylight. We COM
menced playing water on the fire, but
1t continued to gather Roadway unril
the whole after part Of the ship was
in flames. When it looked impossible
to keep the fire under control, Isgave
orders to clear away the boats. filling
those on the %starboard side with won-
en- and children. At this time 1t
looked impossible to save the ship.
Boat Is Upset.
Finally the starboard boats were
lowered into the water. One Of them,
in charge of Second Steward Savage,
got under the guard and was stove in
and later upset, the other boats going
to the rescue.
II do not know just how many peo-
pie there were in the various boats
lowered, though possibly 60. The boats
were out in the open until $3.50 O'Clock
when, believing we had the fire under
control, | blew three whistles signal
Ing the boats to gather around the
ship. and by $3.50 all save those los
were on board again.
"The men In the glory-hole, whe1
called with the discovery of the fire
came up through flames and binding
smoke. Three of these lost their way
and rushed into the cockpit where
they were suffocated or burned tt
death.
"At the time the fire was discovered
the wind was blowing from the south.

but for all plants, just after they come up, and
clear up till they attain the height of ten or
twelve inches.
The cultivator / refer to is SO arranged that
one horse can draw it as easily as he can an
"Iron Age Cultivator." Walking ON left side of
row, the cultivator goes astride and does up both
sides nicely at once. The man walking behind
guides it with handles the same as he would the
"Iron Age" when cultivating only one side. The
name of this implement is "Queen of the Field"
I do not know where it is manufactured, but it
is sold by the local hardware dealers in New
Berne at $3.50 each. AS our Bro. @. W. Burkett
says: 'There are a number of cultivators that
do Just what our correspondent wishes, but the
team straddles the row, so to speak" but it takes
two teams to draw them, and / have failed to see
one yet that can be used to cultivate tender
plants while small. They are alright for ~cultivat-
ing the land and making rows before crops are
planted and for cultivating crops after well up
and growing; but for young and tender plants
they cannot be worked satisfactorily on stiff lands
with heavy clay subsoil.
There is nothing that can beat the "Iron Age"
for cultivating one side, or Queen of the Field"
for cultivating both sides of the row at once
when plants of any kind are small and just start
ing to grow.
The Progressive Farmer is a welcome visitor
to us each week, and / am glad to see it steadily
improving in information to the farmers.
With best wishes for The Progressive Farmer
and all it's readers, I am,
Sincerely, G. L. HARDISON.

Successful Fruit Growers.
Editors Progressive Farmer

If there is anything that modern agriculture
teaches it is that more skill, knowledge, and ex-
perience are required in successful fruit growing
than almost any other branch of farming. There
are more failures with fruit farms than any
other. There is consequently heard the cry in
nearly every State that there is no money in
fruits, and farmers are turning their attention to
other lines of farm work. Yet in spite of this
the last census shows some interesting figures
which goes to prove that fruit growing, when
properly conducted, is the most profitable of farm
specialities. Compared with other farm prod
ucts, the best fruit farms of specially favored To-
cations yielded 25 per cent on the capital employ
ed against 19 per cent in general farming, and
II per cent on grain and hay. Only the nursery
business and flower and plant growing exceed
fruit raising, and these latter were possible only
where the soil and climate were very favorable.
The claim that fruit growing successfully re-
quires experts is absolutely true. Almost any
one can raise pigs, poultry, and general crops,
and can make a moderate living. But few can
produce fine fruits. A great many start in with
the idea they can, ana then after failing, as a
result of their ignorance, they condemn the whole
business. It is not unnatural that they should
influence others to believe that there is no money
in raising fruits.
Fruit growing requires more head work than
most branches of agriculture. The farmer must
understand how to raise fancy fruits, and how
to sell them. IF he cannot do either he must fail.
It is no novice's work to raise fine fruits. There
must be skill and experience, a knowledge of va
rieties and species, and a spirit of enthusiasm
which makes one strive for the highest. Brains
and labor combined never counted for more than
to-day on the fruit farm. The man who possesses
the ability and push to raise fine fruits is in a
fair way to make something more than a good
living.
It is a good thing probably that the incom-
petent are dropped out of the fruit business.
Their failure is an assurance to the reliable and
intelligent growers that they will make more
profit. These ignorant novices give the whole
fruit business a bad name. It is not that they
frighten others from the business-by their COM
plants, but that they lower the standard of
market fruits with their poor, half-matured
products. They actually demoralize some mar
KITS, which must inevitably affect the goods of
those who have been careful in their work. The
sooner we get rid of the croakers in the fruit
business, the better it will be for the whole trade,
and we can afford to lose them

concerned, unless subsequent floods shall add 9TH
er material or remove the sand deposits.
AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS.
The whole area has been an agricultural one
since the time of its first settlement. The section
about Newton, Hickory, and Lincolnton is very
prosperous. The lands have the highest average
value of any in the State. This prosperity is due
primarily to the abundance of Cecil clay and a
good type of Cecil sandy loan, and the favorable
climatic conditions, together with the sturdy, in
dustrious class of people who own these lands.
In recent years the railroads have opened up
ready markets for farm products. Until very re-
Gently these communities were purely agricultural
ones, but the abundance of excellent cotton and
timber lands and good water power, together
with the tendency of industries to move south
ward, is gradually transforming this section into
an industrial community, SO that some of the old
towns have doubled their population, and new
towns have grown up around the cotton mills and
furniture and wagon factories. This additional
growth has created additional demands for farm
produce, so that farming is receiving new stimu-
lus. Formerly considerable tobacco was grown in
the area, but when most of the tobacco factories
of the State went into the hands of one company
the growers in less favored localities had to aban-
don this crop, because of lack of competition in
the tobacco market.
The owners of the soil are nearly all descend
ants of the sturdy German and Scotch-Irish
stock who first settled that section of the coun-
try, and in many cases the farms have remained
in the hands of the same family from the time
of settlement. The farms are small, the average
size being about 1875 acres. The owners do their
own work and do not depend upon the inefficient
labor of the locality. The lands are free from
mortgage and there is an abundance of improved
machinery. The houses are substantial, and the
barns and sheds, though not pretentious, are
sufficiently large to house the crops of such a
There is a diversity of crops, so that a
failure of one does not mean a failure for the
There are no very wealthy farmers and
no very poor ones, so that all are about on an
equality. Not much of the land is for sale, but
there are plenty of opportunities for poor men
to start a home. The lands can be cleared and
planted without the expense of fencing, as the
stock law protects the crops. For such a pros
porous section the wagon roads are very bad,
but the property owners are now beginning to
realize that good roads enhance the value of their
property.

A Cultivator That Works Both Sides of the Row.
Progressive Farmer:


For the information of ga Warren County
farmer" in this weeks paper, I think Geo. W.
Smith, a practical farmer, has the cultivator he
desires; price 5000; operated with one-horse.
He writes me this cultivator he uses three times
on young cotton, two times on corn and saves
time and work. I have ordered one and intend
using it this season. His address is La Grange,
Ga. THEO. EDWARDS.

I see an article in The Progressive Farmer of
April 10Th under the head of "Cultivators and
Farm Tools" with the query from a Warren
County reader, asking if there is ga cultivator
that can be run astride the cotton and corn while
the plants are smalW
I infer that he means a small, light cultivator
that can be drawn by one horse and work both
sides of plants at once. There is such a ~cultiva-
tor, and it is one of the best farm tools that can
be used for not only corn and cotton while small,
