interest is manifested In the annual
renewal of the Crescent City Derby

tomorrow under conditions perhaps
as favorable for successful race as
ever before in the history of the
famous turf classic. While the list
o. entries is not quite up to the early
expectations the material is of a
quality calculated 20 give promise of
a close and interesting contest. The
big event tomorrow. to be followed

cairoites Have Unpleasant Experience
With Negro Who Didn't Ap-
Hpreciate Good Thing

Mr.. and Mrs. N V. Lewis had an
experience the other day which may
seem amusing to some people, but
was quite serious for them. They
have given considerable attention for
several years past to their summer
home at Grand Chain a pretty little
farm place on the Ohio river. where
Mrs. Lewis and the children have
been spending the summer They
have lot of stock there, hogs cows,
chickens, horses of all ages, that need
attention. and they had placed a
young negro in charge, who had been
in their employ some time and
seemed to be a faithful fellow, send
ing him supplies regularly and pro-
Viding him with comfortable quarters
on the place. The fellow could live
of the fat of the land" with chick
various kinds. vegetables, etc. in
alrndance-and very little to do. Mr..
and rms. Lewis went up on the Dick
Fowler the other day to see how he
vas getting along. AS they got off
the boat the negro came aboard, es-
corting negro woman. They
thought nothing of it, believing he
was merely helping the woman aboard
with her things" but when the boat
pulled out and took him along they
suspected that there was something
wrong. They We're confirmed in this
impression when they reached the
house where they found that the fell
low had packed up his belongings and
deserted the place, leaving no one in
charge-the doors all open, the horses
tied In the stable; cows and pigs and
chickens all believing and screaming
and cackling for feed goats sheep,
ducks and geese preparing TO play tag
in the parlor and the birds resting in
the chimneys They got there just in
time to prevent an animal uprising.
Later in the evening poor old negro
who resides on a little place several
miles away came trudging up the hill
aud with tears in his eyes asked for
his wife. II developed she had
elope with the young rascal, taking
all her things and part of his. Officers
of the Dick Fowler state that the
couple went to Paducah where they
boarded the steamer Hopkins and
went on up the river.

an seceions oIsrne country, and having
become so common, very few are read,
consequently do very little good;
should the farm suggest be placed in
commission, every package shipped out
should be stenciled with the name of
the manager and the point from which
it is shipped. This would be good,
convincing advertising matter, and
would satisfy even the much quoted
"Missourian.." This method, coupled
with an occasional batch of our local
papers containing live letters from
practical farmers, and mailed to ad.
dresses on rural mail routes, would, to
my thinking, be the most satisfac-
tory way to reach these people.
Again, the proposed county farm,
being located along the line of one
of the trunk lines passing through this
section, its operations could be OBJ
served from the car window by many
and within itself would be a most at
tractive advertisement.
Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion
will say that we are now living in a
period Of transition and that which af-
forded the means of livelihood for this
section is fast passing away, and with

ply equaled the demands for these
Pre- ducts then the far,l could be util-
lied for the demonstration of the pos.
sibilities of our ribbon cane. Placed
upon proper basis, there Is no crop
grown that is more profitable than that
of growing this ribbon cane, but its
manufacture must, If we expect to get
the best results from its culture, be
gotten out of the hands of the "one-
horse mill and pine knot evapo~ator"
farmer. The manufacturing of high
grade syrup. by the methods mentioned
above, should no more be attempted
by the Individual farmer than for him
to attempt to convert his cotton into
the finer grades of calico; his func-
lions are to grow the raw material
and leave its manufacture into the fin
ished product to skilled workmen and
up-to-date machinery.
True, the product now being made,
through crude and wasteful is the
best OF Its kind on the market and
cannot be duplicated elsewhere. But,
by installing modern methods, under
the supervision of skilled workmen,
an uniform grade of goods may be had,
and placed upon the northern and west
ern markets, the demand would far
exceed the supply for many years to
come.
Now, few words as to advertising
and am through. I beg to differ again
from one of your correspondents SO
far as relates to the distribution OF
flaming circulars, etc., through the
section from which we expect to draw
the immigrants from, from the fact
that the country is flooded with class

that the market will be overstocked,
and very low prices will result. l
have heard that same cry for the past
thirty-five years, and up to this writ
ing, no serious glut has materialized.
True, If all the vegetables that are
grown in the south were placed upon
the market at one time the results
would be disastrous; buk one should
remember that each locality takes 1t
turn; Bermuda, Cuba, Florida, Louis
lana and Alabama has the market in
the order named, consequently the
products do not figure comparatively.
Again, thanks to our much cussed
ailroads, the farmers best friend, who
in turn, are their worst enemies, by
their splendid system of refrigera-
ton should market be supplied with
additional cars arriving, all that is
necessary would be to re-ice the car
and forward to a point where 1t is
needed at remunerative prices.
Again, we must remember that Eu-
rope sending us, at the rate Of
more than million people year, who
are consumers and not producers, in
addition to our natural increase,
coupled with the fact that the tenden.
cy of our young men to leave the farms
is increasing year by year, the problem
of over-production may be one for our
great-grandchildren to solve. We must
remember, also, that while We have a
large undeveloped area in this section
only very small portion Of it can
be utilized for the growing Of perish
able crops, from the fact that the
greater portion of the undeveloped
lands lie too remote for this purpose;
zone cannot, profitably, truck farm at
greater distance than four miles
from his shipping point for several rea-
sons, mainly, the haul would ruin his
product, and one could not market his
crop as rapidly that distance as it
should be moved to get best results.
Now, as to best methods for getting
this most important industry well
started in this locality, and to induce
immigration to this vicinity, our ideas
may differ somewhat, but to mind the
only practical way 1t can be accom-
plished, at present, would be for For
rest County to open up large tract OF
land, say 100 to 200 acres. along the
line of one of our large railroads cen
tering here, and place 1t under the
management of an intelligent prac
tical man, whise duties in addition
to managing the farm would be to give
advice to farmers calling at the farm
for this purpose; instead of growing
cotton with the convicts, have then
work this demonstration farm, thus
eliminating the county as compati
tor of the cotton farmer, whose prod
uct Is now grown in sufficient quan
titles to be remunerative, while INC
production of food products are moi
grown in sufficient quantities to NEE
