ty dollars each. That's shaking the
plum tree to some purpose.
These gentlemen own and manage
their orchards and vineyards. Few,
il any, of them had much practical
knowledge of fruit culture when they
came to Southern Pines. Hhey have
learned in the school of experience,
where the tuition is high, but where
the knowledge gained is invaluable.
All these fruit growers would acknowl-
edge that they have made Mistakes
some of them costly ones-but they
are not making many errors nowadays,
and are equipped for big things in the
future. To undertake a fruit farm
one must needs ia considerable cap
ital or credit, and the capital is much
the better. He must be able to wait
for results if he begins at the bottom.
and he should be able to tide over a
year or two at any time. for poor
years are bound to come. Given
those advantages, and there is good
money in an orchard or vineyard such
as a man can buy. or plent, and run.
In the vicinity of Southern Pinesare
two large fruit farms. one Of which,
the Niagara Vineyard, is owned by a
stool the stockholders be-
ing mostly Southern Pines men, and
the other the Van Lindley Orchard,
to the west of the town, by a gentle
man whose home is in Greensboro
The Niagara Farm is about Is years
old. 1t has 5000 peach trees, II acres
of dewberEies, and so acres Of grapes.
The dewberry crop this year totaled
1000 crates. At this writing the
peach and grape yield cannot be safely
estimated. Mr.. Parker is the super
~inteindent, as he was last year. follow
ing Mr.. Bruhn. who was superinten-
dent for four or five ears
Southern Pines largest orchard is
the Van Lindley Orchard, bou 2 IL
miles from town.. on the road to Pine
hurst. This h consists of L.
500 acres, on which are 40. 900 peach
trees, LOO pear trees, 5000 plum
trees, and 3 acres Of dewberries. When
these trees are in full b!oOm in the
early spring the orchard is a sight
worth going miles to see, and many
tourists drive Out and gaze upon the
sea Of pink and white.
Mr.. Cook, the very efficient and
wide awake superintendent, has ship
ped 10000 crates of early peaches
and expects to have at least 5000 OF
the later varieties. Seven hundred
crates of pears were shipped and L.
600 crates of Diuns. With a GOOD
season and uch prices as are usually
realized. the Van Lind!ey Orchard is
an enterprise Of Importance.

How MIR. Tildcn's Forecast Has Been
Realized.

Dieter to the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.)
At the time of the Civil war patriotic
orators who were of the North de-
claimed and patriotic poets wrote al
legged poetry. in which it was set
forth tina King Cotton had been sup
planted by King Corn. But after the
Civil war was ended, and the democrat
iZation consequent upo reconstruct
ton had been in some measure elimin-
ated. King Cotton again asserted his
supreme authority.
In 1877 Samuel J. Tilden returned
from a summer sojOurn in Europe. At
ter the electoral commission declared
tina Rutherford B. Hayes had received
one more electoral vote for President
than Governor Tilden the defeated
candidate decided to sOjourn in
Europe during the summer months.
On the evening of a day in SepteTn-
Der. when the first frost of that
autumn was chilling the air, Governor
Tilden addressed a very large throng
who assembled in front Of his house
in Gramercy park to welcome him
home. He did not ouch upon Ameri-
can politics. His theme was the de-
velopment Of our commerce with
Europe. He spoke With real elO-
uuence. because he was very earnest
and sincere, of what he regarded as
sure to be ultimately the greatest in
money value, in its Wealth-produclng
qualities and in quantity of the Amerf-
can harvest-namely, Indian corn or
maize. Governor Tilden aid that il
might require a generation Of time
to teach the neople of Europe the
food value tina is in Indian corn.
Governor Tilden said that there was
no reason why, within the course of
a few years, the United States should
not raise a harvest Of 5000, 900, 900
bushels Of corn. He ventured to
predict the money value Of a harvest
of that kind at not far from $1,000
OOO,O 900, and in graphic manner de-
picted the relation of so great a har-
vest as that to the prosperity Of Amer
lean railways. In the last five or six
years Of Governor Tilden's life he fire.

lay in the production OF 1ndian corn.
What he then predicted is this year
realized. We are to have at least a
5000, 900 000-bushel harvest of Indian
corn, and the money valu of that
will be from 1900, 600, 600 to a little
under $4,000, 600, 900.
1t also means no idle cars for the
railways, renewed net earnings of
great amounts, the ability of American
financiers to lead to some extent in
the foreign exchange markets and
to take up the finance bills tina have

Colorado Day at Seattle,

The Colorado state society of Seat
tie is making elaborate plans to en-
tertain visitors from Colorado to
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition,
to be held in Seattle during the sum-
mer of 1909, June 1 to 16. The So
ciety has asked for a Colorado Day,
which will probably be set for some
time during the latter part of July.
The construction of buildings and
grounds for the exposition is more
than 80 per cent complete and all
buildings will be ready by May l.
leaving thirty days in which to com
plete the placing of such exhibits
as have not been received up to that
| time, clear the grounds of debris
and finish the paving of such streets
as it will be necessary to.
Twelve buildings were complete j
on January 1. five months in ad-
vance of the opening of the fair, and
when the gates are formally opened
to the public on June l every build
ing will stand complete, all exhibits
will be installed. streets paved and
all debris removed from the grounds.
The buildings, grounds and exhibits
will be the same from the day the
exposition opens until it closes. Oc.

The United States government
group of buildings are under con.
struction. A large force of men are
engaged in this work and the four
structures will be completed by April
20.
The floral display will be the most
beautiful feature of the exposition
The grounds are set in natural
park on the campus of the Univer
sity of Washington with two lakes
in the immediate foreground and the
snow-capped peaks of two mountain
ranges and Mt. Rainier, the highest
peak in the United States, as c
background. The floral display will
combine artistically with these sur
-oundings. The mild climate and the
fertile soil of the Puget Sound coun.
try makes it possible to cultivate
flowers never before successfully
grown out of doors in any section
of the country and when the expo
sition opens climbing roses. geran-
iums, rhododendrons, cactus dahlias
and many others not as we'll known
will be found massed about the
fronts of the buildings and giving
forth perfume from every conceivable
nook and corner. On January l there
were nearly two million plants in
the green houses ready to set out
in the formal gardens with the
opening of spring.
