SOME LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS
BY CRYSTAL SPRINGS FARMER

say to him. plant only what you can
cultivate, as labor is too uncertain
to depend upon to hire. Don't ex-
pect me to furnish any more cold
frame cloth material for l am not 60
ing to keep it for two or three years
to come" Let the merchant cut out
some of the more ignorant and dis
honest growers and packers and let
them grow cotton and home crops.
Take the best growers and teach them
to grade higher, and make better
article instead of quantity.
In short we have reached the point
in the green and inferior tomato bus
mess where it means ruin and disaster
to the whole country if we don't halt.
With Florida ahead of US, Texas along
side of us in the market and Tonnes
see just behind us on our heels, in
the market you can see we are in the
middle of a bad fix as to the tomato
outlook. 1t is nothing uncommon for
/ the receipts from here and Texas
aolne to be from 100 to $50 cars a
day. This is entirely too many toma-
| toes at one time.
Now in conclusion let me say don't
mean that all our farmers and truckers
are ignorant and mean But. of course
we have a good may who can't tell g
good tomato from bad one. And as
to the merchants they may and have
made mistakes, but believe they are
ready to help and cooperate with u
for the good of all concerned.
1 hope to hear from others on thi
subject but let us go forwarl and dis
cuss the future problem instead o
fighting over split milk.

cost of planting andv the best trees
to be had grated from finest varie-

make the total cost of the two hun

ten acres amount to $500. At the ex-
piration of the first year if properly
cared for the commercial value of
these trees would be four dollars each.
That is to say the grove without count
ing the value of the land would be
worth $1,000. They would increase IN
actual value at least $500 a year.
mean the grove could be sold for
$4,000 in four years. In five years
it would be bearing nicely, and if the
owner would part with it at all, he
could easily realize $4,000, or from
ten to twenty dollars per tree. This
would be an annual income of, say
from two to four thousand dollars,

lRY'S LETTER TO
OVERS ASSOCIATION
(Woodville Republican,

We give below a very interesting
and instructive letter from Capt. j. F.
Merry, General immigration Agent of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company,
which was read before the Truck
Growers Association in the court
house at Woodville on last Saturday
afternoon, and is published by request
of the association.
Capt. Merry has done more to build
up the South than any one hundred
men in the country by bringing desir-
able immigrants here. He will be in
vited to address the association some
time during the fall.

Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of the

tirely familiar with the method of or
ganization to which you refer. we
have on our line a number of fruit

lions, but they are strictly local and

into the character of such organiza-
lions. 1t might be well for you to drop
a line to Mr.. R. e. Lott, Crystal

give you the style Of their organization
which is one of the most successful

1 am frequently asked as to what

For the information of those inter

in dealing with the subject lose sight
of the fact that a grove of grated
pecan trees has a commercial value as
soon as they are set. One does not,
as is supposed have to wait until tho

{ Correspondence Cystal Springs Me-

We are all in the Mile of a bad |
fix on the tomato deal and outlook
at present and for the future. We all |
realize that it is ruinous to US to con-
tinue in the same old ruts any longer, |
and. in fact, it has about ruined most |
of us financially already. Space per-
hitting l will try and point out some
of the evils and the remedy as l see
it. AS 1 am now the oldest tomato
grower and have probably grown more
tomatoes than any other man in the
state, having grown twenty-nine crops
starting in 1SS0-it may be taken
for granted that know something of
what l am speaking of.
In the first place this wrapping to-
matoes and putting them in little
baskets and then in crates is all
wrong. 1t is too fussy and costly. NO
fruit pulled premature has that flaw
or, sugar, acid and aroma about it
that well developed fruit, left on the
vine until ripe has. Therefore when
any fruit is pulled premature and
sent to market it ruins the demand
for that special fruit as it is not at
tractive and drives peoples taste away
| instead of cultivating a taste for it..
Therefore such fruit will soon be
without customers. Then If this is
fact we should discard the paper, let
the fruit ripen on the vine and put
it up and it gives the ignorant and
having something nice, good and at
tractive that would be the best thing
that could happen to you. You would
save one-half the picking, packing
crates and freight which would be {
profit of itself, and the other half ne
you three times as much as all put
in a slip-shod way. 1t was only the
greed of a few of the home and for
eign merchants that we ever started
the wrapping business and are keeping
it imp and it gives the ignorant ant
; dishonest farmer and trucker the fir
est shield to cover up his inferior an,
imperfect tomatoes that could hav
-. been devised.
Now for the remedy. list. Every
body seems to be tomato drunk o
Z crazy. Let us stop, sober off and TAX
e our bearings and start anew.
9 End. Let us cut down our acreag
half.
T 3rd. Let us raise something els

be covered before your association by |
some one from Crystal Springs, or
some other point, who is entirely ia
maliar with them all. Mr.. Lotterhouse
of Crystal Springs, or Mr.. Hubert,
have had We arseXperience and it wiuold
pay your association to give either
one of these men $50 to come and dis
cuss before your members the points
have suggested and many others
that would suggest themselves to eth
er of these gentlemen. You have a
splendid country about Woodville
and the very fact that your people are
awakening to the necessity of chang
ing their farm methods is to my mind
splendid indication and points to
better agricultural conditions in the
very near future.
L expect to make a trip through the
south probably in November and if
your association is organized and l
can be of any service to you, shall
be glad to meet with them and discus
questions that may be of mutual in
