 pertinent, Miss. A. & M college Tn
 Southern Farm Gazette.
 The market poultry business IS growing very radiply in this and ad- joining states. Good prices are being received for all well fattened poultry. Trhis has ben a good year for turkey raisers. Perhaps some have not raised as many as formerly, yet the extra size and quality easily make up any shrinkage in numbers. A great many predicted a low price for the Thanks giving trade, but when goods were shipped in good shape to reliable mer- chants good prices were received. or course at this particular season turkeys and geese are in more demand than the other classes, and virtually bring high er prices; but the chicken market will resiime conditions after the holiday trade. -.
 A few questions that confront every na,Iltry raiser are these: What mar kets want my product? Whom should i ship to? Who Is honest? Where will I receive the most for my birds? These are serious questions for us to decide. and should be weighed as care f,,iiv as the problem confronting us in the gale of our cotton crop.
 A few things that should have their Influence are these: Where is there

PreDarine Turkeys For Market.

J. C. Clipp in Southern Asr1cuItuIiS'
 In view of the fact that great many
 turkeys have been Iate matched tnls
 season. due to the wet spring and the
 continued rain throughout the season
 retarding the growth of the late hatch
 ed poults, there will be in all proballty
 a great many small turkeys offered for
 the Christmas markets. If the farmer
 who has a number of small turkeys will
 retain them and not offer them with
 the early large. well-fatted turkeys, the early turkeys will make a much better average, and no doubt bring a better price.
 The danger of overlooking young and immature poults makes it some what against feeding the late poults, hut when it is understood that there Is not nearly SO much danger after cold weather appears of overlooking great many small and undesirable poults can be run over for the Christmas mar ket. and in a great many flocks there I are a number that were matched in late July and August by the mother turkey i stealing her nest out in some secluded spot, All such turkeys can be retain , ed and offered for the February mar kets.

Select Varieties of Pecans-HOW the Growers at the St. Louis Con" remtIon Expressed Their Pref- : erence for the Different
 Kinds.

At all meetings of The National Nut Growers Association discussions of va rieties have been regular and inter esting feature of the program. AL St' Louis the work took praeticaL turn in summing up and taoulating the op- inions of members who were present and the purpose of this article is to give a concise review Of that Iealure of the Conventions work.
 Following the general discussion or varieties which is reported in full in inc proceedings of the convention, the members were furnished slips and re- auested to write down. in order Of their preference. the names of five or six varieties most favorably regarded by the person taking part in the plan. Nearly all the prominent and eX- perienced growers who were present made out and turned into the secre- tary, a list of their selection of varie- ties best adapted to general use in their respective localities, which by the way, covered all the Gulf Coast territory and Texas. Tn summing up the reports thus obtained, it was found that eighteen varieties were listed and the most notable feature or the tabulation was that the Stuart was embraced in every list suomitteo. The next prominent feature was the | fact that no one reported In faVor or the Rome or any of it's Synonyms. An analysis of these returns can hardly fail to carry strong convlc- ton that the varieties mentioned by half, or over half of those reporting, are. in the light of our present knowl- edge, the most desirable for general planting. Only four nuts reached thls distinction. viz, Stuart. Van Deman. Frotscher and Schley, in the order named. except that the last two had the same percentage.
 The next class having the favor of a5 per cent. and over of all the re- ports, also embraced four varieties. in the order named Pabst, Georgia, Cur tis and Russell the last two as in the previous case, having the same per- centage.
 The remaining ten varieties drop in- Ito two classes, with about the same per centaRe in each. The third class also of four varieties had over ten per cent. of the reports and alphabetically al ranged are Alley, Gregg, Halbert and than 10 per cent but embraced some of the finest known nuts, but ones which are largely of recent introduc' tion and not yet widely known. ol tested beyond their place of origin They were six in number: Atlant' Mangum, Risien, Senator, Stevens an' Success. Subsequent reports of thi kind will doubtless give different re suIts as new varieties come to llgh , land the older ones are tested to great or extent: but those mentioned in tn first group can safely be regarded d
 finely established and sure to hold
 most prominent place in the industry
 even though other varieties fully
 good are originated in the tutuT'
