TALK ON CROPS.

Those whose lands will admit Of
ploughing are getting in Englist
peas. Some have also sown tomato
seed.
A novel method of Irish potato
culture finds some adherents In thi,
section. In January or February
the tubers are thinly scattered on the
surface of the ground and covered
with about six inches of pine straw.
Long before shipments are being
made from the established method
new potatoes are gathered from the
straw beds. The tubers sprout, but
do not come through the straw.
Tricky coating the ground are the
young, or new, potatoes.
A prominent Virginia horticul-
turist writes al follows to the press:
The severe weather which we have
experienced during February, and
which has extended far down into
Florida, is going to make consider
able shortage in early green vege-
tables, and on this account our
markets will be very bare of green
vegetables until late in the season.
Indications are that the earliest
crops of green vegetables will sell at
good prices, both in home market
and in the large cities North. The
opportunity presented to our southern
truckers and gardeners to make
money out of peas and other early
truck crops. is one that they should
not fail to take advantage of. Early
peas are one of the first crops to
come in and can be safely planted
Just as soon as the ground can be
gotten ready.

people. Judge Mann may get the
larger share because be has been
actively ider lifiad with temperance
work. In this immediate section
MIR. Swanson viii probably get the
larger proportion of temperance peo-
pie. In other parts Mr.. Willard
may corrall them. We think we
have thus made clear the position
which our contemporary did not
think so well defined.
As to the fight for Senatorial
houors, neither Senator Martin nor
Governor Montague is member OF
the League: yet both are temperance
men, and it is hardly probable that
either will be expected to announce
himself on this particular point
Mr.. Montague is consistent church
man, and temperate; yet he vetoed
an important bill that temperance
advocates had passed by the Legisla-
ture. Mr.. Martin is abstemious in
every respect, has voted and pro-
nounced for measures advocated by
the League. Each presumably acts
as judgment and conscience dictate,
and we see no reason why either
should he impaled upon a petard
hoisted by any temperance organizs'
ton, nor do we believe they will be.
Of the five candidates this year for
the two most prominent Offices within
the gift of Virglnians we can see no
foundation, thus far at least, for the
charge that temperance people have
put forward or will support with
any measure of unanimity one as
against the other.

fairness into hide bound writers or
organs, and we had left the difficult
feat for those having promise of
longevity. With us life is too short
to chase sweat-bees; We try to brush
them of, but do not follow them mp.
There are several things that the
CITIZEN, although an admirer of
Senator Martin, does not agree With
him upon. We have never seen visions
or dreamed of the roseate hues en-
vironing the primary plan that some
have (for one reason, we are not after

SOME OYSTER TALK.

Last week we published a resume
of the report of the State Board Of
Fisheries, showing good results for
the States treasury. The report is
being commented upon quite fsvora-
bly, by the hill-country press; and
for this, at least, let us be thankful.
Usually only superficial glance
is given to matters affecting our
water interests, and conclusions are
more often hastily drawn than
otherwise. For which also the unin-
itiated are to be given the credit,
or discredit. The Board of Fisher
les. could hardly have done better;
the casual reviewer hardly done
worse. At this present time, when
the oyster industry is in a more or
less chaotic state, to continue de-
handing the pound of flesh means
the sapping of the life-stresm of a
great and promising industry. Net
profits to the State cannot go on at
this rate during the next ten years
without revolutionizing the oyster
industry-and that not to its better
ment. The present Board, or its
successors, will some day find that
the revenue extracted (most likely
against their individual Judgements
at demands of an uniformed and
somewhat avaricious public, has been
at the cost to thousands of now COM
paratively well-to-do laborers whose
indirect tax to the State is enormous
In other words, the longer and indie.
pendent laborer must give way To
the planter and cultivator; a few will
be enriched, at the cost of the many
who must to certain extent become
serfs, or else move out. An unin
formed populace demands the 1.-THE,
the Board has to exact it, the nat
ural rocks and the longer (too poor
to pay an exorbitant tax must give
way to the man of means who can
pay the blood money and reap har-
vest for one self where hundreds had
before earned their daily bread.
To Us the outlook for the oysters
future is not promising, and the
Shylocks that demand increased rev.
enue at any cost may be likened to
the person that killed the goose of
golden egg fame. A legacy OF a
forest of fir would be life time
competency if properly cultivated
and telling be reasonably restricted.
Slaughter it at once, and the future
offers little return.

ISOLATION, he is urged to do so at
once. The association does not pro-
pose to take all, or even nearly all,

At the beginning the Association

SOME STEAMBOAT NOTES.

The time has not yet arrived when
the great damage to wharf and ves-
sci property can be estimated along
the Potomac and Rappahaunock.
This will be done when the acres of
heavy ice begin to move.
Bayport and Wares wharves, on the
Rappahannock, have been damaged
by ice. Worse is expected, as there is
an immense amount of ice coming out
OF the creeks and the coyes, forming
heavy foes, which will probably
carry most of the roadways off.
With the exception of the trip of
the Middlesex two weeks ago, when
she tied up at Urbanna, no boat left
Baltimore for the Rappahaunock
during the whole month of February
the longest period we have ever
been without trips from Baltimore.
Lucky for this people that steamer
Potomac was caught out of Balti-
more when the freeze set in; she has
made one or two trips a week be-
tween Norfolk and the lower Kappa
hammock. Wednesday night steamer
Middlesex came from Baltimore,
loaded to the gun'ales. She is ex-
pected to return today friday.
The Potomac goes to Baltimore Sat
urday evening.
ADVOCATES INDEPENDENT STEAMER.
We haven't had boat to Balti-
more for two weeks or more. There
are enough merchants, fish and oyster
dealers on this river to run boat of
their own; their freights certainly
amount to enough. If some one
could take the time to go up as far
as Port Royal and see all the mer-
chants, fish and oyster dealers from
there down, asking them to give
him a rough calculation what each
ones freights amounted to, / GER
tainly think it would amount to
enough to run steamer of their own.
Ii it did, then elect president, Sec
rotary and treasurer, and start out
and get all who will to take stock
in it. Then go to Baltimore and ask
the commission merchants and whole
sale dealers to take stock. Not only
the merchants and oyster and fish
shippers, but the truckers and crab
bers would doubtless take stock.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

The colored shuckers of Messick &
Gunby and K. w. Long & Co., of Irv-
ington, left this week on fish steamers
for the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
their home. These houses, and
several others along the Rappahan-
mock, have closed for the season.
The season has been an Improbable
one.
Since the weather has moderated
oystermen find that many of the in
shore oysters were destroyed by the
freeze. 1t is diffircult yet to tell
about the deep water ones. While
death may not have as yet resulted to
many in deep water the cold has left
them all so weak it is safe to assume
that good per cent. of them will
die.
A Baltimore dispatch of one week
ago says: "For the first time in the
history of the city, Baltimore, in the
heart of the oyster season, is without
oysters. In the large fleet of vessels
anchored In Canton Hollow and off
Federal Hill, there are not enough
oysters to make an oyster pie. The
predicted oyster famine is now here
and lovers of the bivalve must expect
to do without them until the thaw
comes, which will enable the oyster
men to get fresh supply for this
market"
Fishermen along the Chesapeake
bay, from Old Point to the mouth of
the Potomac, are up against serious
proposition. So far they have not
been able to drive stake. Usually
by the first of March all the nets are
down, awaiting the first run of shad
and herring. Many of the first run
have gotten by. Where there has been
dearth in the oyster market it is also
probable that first shad will be scarce
on the market. Tidewater Virginia
has not within score of years had a
winter so disastrous to the water in
dustries. Many oyster people and
fisher folk will suffer financial dis
tress this year.
