Among the outgoing passengers
this morning THE HERALD man
noticed D. B. Jackson, of Chicago,
vice-president and travelling repre-
sentative of the Produce Reporter
company of that city. The compa-
ny of which Mr.. Jackson is the
representative, looks out for the
protection of carlot shippers of
fruit and produce, and is a most
excellent check on unscrupulous
commission houses which over
quote the market and use other
methods Of questionable character
for the purpose of securing con-
signments. The concern also issues
a credit book in which is rated the
various receivers and shippers
throughout the country, and an
examination of their latest book
reveals facts that would have been
of great value to the truck growers
of this section, had they been
known a few months ago. The
company also issues weekly credit
sheets which will be of untold ben
eft to every truck or fruit growing
section of the United States. 1t
likewise looks after adjustments
and collections, reports inspeca
ton, etc.

From a. F. Hester, who was in
the city yesterday from La Blanca.
a HERALD representative learned
everything was moving nicely in
that section. Asked as to the onion
crop Mr.. Hester said he would per
haps have a larger acreage than last
year, although some OF these who
planted the sweet smelling herb
last season were discouraged on &C
count of the results or rather lack
of results, and had decided to let
the other fellow grow onions. The
gentleman said 4 great deal of cot
ton would be planted this year at
La Blanca, and if the boil weevil
does not get too industrious, this
section will take its place in the
front rank of cotton producing re-
gions. A great deal of cabbage is
being grown at La Blanca. and
Mr.. Hester says present prospects
are all that could be desired

In conversation today with S. P.
Silver, who is in charge of the
work for the YoakunI interests at
Donna, THE HERALD learns work
has not commenced yet on the canal
but the levels have all been taken
and work in earnest will commence
in q very short time. Mr.. Silver
said he left orders for the round
ing up of zoo Mexicans to do grub
birg, which looks very much like
something would be doing very
shortly.

The Weed Is Good But Not Much Fruit
and Time for Fruiting Has
Nearly Passed.

To the Editor:-Much has been said
in regard to the cotton crop in North
Carolina. / think many people have
not told it all, as the crop is not made
yet. and / am afraid when it is made,
it will be disappointing. as a great
deal of it will be like the barren fig
tree, as we have plenty of weed n
not much fruit. You know cotton
cant fruit when it rains every day.
and with the exception of few days.
it has rained every day for the past
six weeks, and on sandy land you
neither have weed or fruit, and it has
gone to the point where the condition
is alarming. The cotton now reminds
me of the future business, as you know
our market has been all the year sell
ing about eighty to one hundred and
twenty-five points over New York. You
can sell futures. but you cannot spin
them. We have very good weed, but
we haven't much fruit on it, and the
time for fruiting has about past. We
have in our section one OF the 1lneSt
corn crops ever made in johnston
county. | think it Will be very danger
Gus to bear the cotton crop. | nave
some letters from Arkansas and IeXas
telling me that the crop is late. acre
short conditions GOOD. but j great
deal of that crop has been sold Tor
English already at ten cents.
I am not looking for my jumper crop
myself. While we nave water guage
here, the rains have not been report
ed, we have had several rains ranging
from three and half to four and one
half inches and you know this Is not
good on crops.
Yours very truly,
r. L. RAY.
