EULOGY BY GEN. BURT

troops In the army as any other officer In
the service He was in command of the

in his farewell order to the officers and men
of that regiment when he relinquIshed the
command at Malaban in the Philippines in
April, 1902. A few days ago he referred a
Star reporter to that order as embodyfng
his present idea of the negro as a soldier
and man. In that order Gen. Burt said:

Comrades: 1t is my painful duty to say

Peppermint a Profitable Crop.

The more varied the industries of the
state, the greater the certainty that
there will never be a. complete failure
of the money crops. AS you know, we
seek, at all times, to recommend any
thing which we believe gives promise
of being a benefit to our readers.
Our attention has been called to The
business Of growing peppermint, by the
receipt, from a firm of seedsmen in
Georgia, of a clipping from the New
York Herald. 1t contained an account
of the peppermint farms near Niles,
Mich. It is stated that the entire crop
of this country is grown in southern
Michigan, northern Indiana and in one
county in western New York state.
The product of an acre ranges from
80 to 60 pounds, a yield of 40 pounds
being considered a good one. The
price last year was $210 per pound,
and as the crop is not quite so large
this year, growers are expecting that
the price will be higher.
Peppermint in only grown on muck
land, and there seems to be chance
for some of the large areas of such soil
along the East Coast to be made pro-
ductive. Peppermint has been grown
in this state, in small way, sufficiently
to give assurance that there are no eli
matte conditions which will prevent it's
being raised.
We trust that some one, who has
some of this muck land, will try the ex-
pertinent and report the result
