Judge Reed Gives Peremptory
Instructions in Favor Of
Defendant in Kilcoyne
Against Illinois Central.

Judge Reed gave peremptory In
stfuctions for the defendant In the
case OF Kflcoyne VS.. the Illinois Cen
trail
The question as to whether the
Illinois Central railroad has a fran
chise TO operate trains over the track
on Ninth street between Trlmble and
Burnett streets was raised IN the suit
of Mrs. Fannie Kilcoyne against the
Illinois Central railroad. Mrs. XII
coyne sued the railroad for $4,000
damages for alleged damages TO prop
erty located at the northwest corner
of Ninth and Trlmble streets, as the
result Of trains running on the track
near the property She claims the
frequent Jars have damaged the
building and reduced the value OF Il
for a tenant.
Attorneys for Mrs. Kllcoyne under
took 70 prove that the railroad did
not have franchise to operate the
trains over the track between Trim
bic and Burnett streets as a trunk
line. but merely as a spur. They
claim that the track was laid for the
purpose OF backing trains into the old
passenger station. In 1902 a fran
chise was obtained for the Cairo ex-
tension north OF Burnett street. and
attorneys for the plaintiff claim the
railroad runs trains unlawfully on
the spur track as a trunk line. At
tOrneys for the railroad deny that the
franchise does not permit the opera
ton OF regular trains on the track
between Trimble and Burnett streets
The trial has been one OF the most
closely contested In the McCracken
circuit court In many months. and
Judge Reed was kept busy yesterday
afternoon settling wrangles between
the lawyers. The defense also intro
duced evidence to show that the value
of the property has not been reduced.

PACKING VEGETABLES

"Radishes should be put up same as
beets, as nearly as possible. About 100
punches to the hamper.
"The great error in packing lies in
the fact that the grower will not re-
sist the temptation to put a few in
ferior or worthless specimens in his
package. | can not conceive why they
persist in doing it when it should be
as much to the grower as it is to the
receiver, that a few inferior specimens
will often make two dollar package
sell for one-hfty. I have paid ST per
hamper on shipment of radishes that
could not be sold for Csc.
"Of course, not all growers are so
careless, but enough are to bring dis
trust on the whole business.
'"Ihe time is at hand when the South
ern grower to be successful must iden-
tify himself with his products. His
name and address on his packages
should be guarantee that they are
properly graded and packed. If the
Southern grower could visit Our re-
ceiving centers and see how certain
marks and packs were sought after he
would be surprised. It is not surplus
of desirable stock that gluts our mar
kets at times, but an accumulation of
unmarketable trash which is a loss to
the shipper and hardship to the re-
celver.

As pounds per acre, placing same on the

I now go through between rows with

Bv the time picking really begins, the
vines are interlocked and run over each
other, till they form mass that it takes
pretty hot sun to wilt enough to shine
on either fruit or ground and this mass
really holds all the moisture right at
the roots of plants, where it is needed.

A Novel Suggestion.

A very interesting account is given in
the Agricultural News of lime trees be-
ing ridded Of scale by allowing vine
known as the bengal bean of the same
family as the velvet bean, to entirely
cover the trees for some time. When
they were cut down the trees, previously
badly infected with scale, were found
to be relatively free Of the plague. Af-
ter the vines were cut the trees made
rapid growth, but bore a short crop of
fruit 1t is said that this treatment
shows favorable effect for years after.
The article in question states that the
vine has been used in this way many
times and the results have always been
good. 1t is not indicated that the ex-
pertinent has been made on trees other
than lines, but it might be we'll worth
trying on some grove which has been
neglected and which is scale infested.
The reasons for the good accomplished
are not exactly known, but are sup
posed to result from the growth of
scale killing fungi in the shade and
dampness caused by the development Of
the tree by the vines The article is
accompanied by cut showing all or
chard completely buried in vines, and
states that the more completely the
tree is covered the better the results.

Must Get Out Of the Ruts.

Hogs at So per hundred pounds gross
pay better than cotton at present prices.
Of course, it is not advisable for
farmers to quit growing cotton in order
to raise hogs, yet it is advisable for
every farmer to raise hogs for home
consumption with few for market.
Almost anything to eat can be grown
in the South, and it is suicidal for
Southern farmers to neglect everything
for cotton.
A Southern planter last year made
$1,000 on sixteen acres of peanuts. Even
with cotton selling at Is cents this man
could not have made so much on fifty
acres in cotton
We have seen farmers in Georgia
hauling baled hay from the store to feed
to their work stock on the farm, yet
sorghum, peanuts and grass grow almost
spontaneously around them.
Men in no other line of work are
guilty of such folly. Our cotton farmers
must get out of the old ruts. They
should begin with this crop to raise
meat, foodstuffs, forage, ETC., for home
use-why delay?-Chipley Banner.

Cucumber Growing.

Located anywhere within four miles
of shipping station, one man should ship
an average of SIS worth every day. and
the shipping season is thirty days; this
would amount to $3.50, and this amount
of fruit can be grown on one and one
fourth acres any average year. have
before me last years account Of cucum-
Der crop, which shows that from little
returns were a little over 5000. (This
land has been measured with tape line,
so that statement is correct. I did all
the work myself. None Of the cucum-
bers were shipped extra early, therefore
no extra price was received on that ac-
count-just common everyday business.
I grow cukes different from anyone
else. I grow them in high bed instead
of on the level. I plowed and dragged
the land, getting it in the best possible
condition. Then I marked off rows
seven feet apart, back -furrowed as high
as I could between rows, then knocked
out center with sweep, going twice in
each and using largest sweep shovel last
time, so as to get it as wide and deep as
possible. then put one wagon load Of
barnyard manure in each $50 feet of
rows [ threw on this, in the row, 1,500
pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre,
made of 600 pounds of cottonseed meal,
500 pounds kainit and 400 pounds phos-
phate. I then bed on this as high as I
can with one-horse plow, and drag it
down by going lengthwise with rows.
(Before drag knock out center be-
tween rows with sweep.)
I now walk along each row, stepping
about eighteen inches, and drop seed in
each heel-mark. I place in front
of two last teeth on 13-tooth drag, and
go over the rows. This 4 picks up
about bushel of dust as soon as start
ed and the weight of dirt and drag
hattens down the rows and covers the
seed nicely. 1t is now nearly on level.

thing enormous. In Florida, however,
where the trucking is of comparatively
recent origin, the growers have as
rule adopted modern methods, use
standard packages and the goods gen
orally reach their destination in good
marketable condition
In order to economic in weight and
save express charges many who grow
lettuce lose money on account Of the
frail packages in which they ship. They
argue that if the baskets or crates are
handled carefully they will not break;
but fail to realize that in order to get
the stuff to market in the quickest time
the transportation companies can not
handle them carefully.
During the shipping season a train
starting from the southern terminus OF
any of Our roads would be delayed.
many hours in reaching Jacksonville
were it not for the fact that the crews
get the packages on the cars as rapidly
as possible, and in the rush it is alb
solutely impossible to handle basket
of lettuce with what would seem to an
outsider even a small degree Of care.
Then take the stuff after it reaches
Jacksonville. The average grower can
not comprehend the immense volume of
packages poured into the transfer sheds
here to be senarated and sent on to the
different destinations. A whole car
load has to be transferred in very
short time or else it will be delayed
possibly ten or twelve hours, thereby
causing damage to the entire shipment.
This means rush, and more or less is
bound to be bruised or broken.
But damage of this kind is not al
ways the cause of produce bringing low
prices in the markets. Too often the
grower does not exercise sufficient care
in the selection and packing of his truck,
and in this connection we copy from an
article in the Southern Fruit Grower,
by w. J. Grounds:
"My experience in this line has been
largely in the capacity of receiver. Con-
sequently, should rather suggest than
dictate.
In my long experience as receiver, I
note very little change in methods of
packing. No package is properly put
up for shipment that contains an article
in several stages of growth or maturity.
"Take tomatoes, for instance. The
common practice is to put half-grown
and ripe in the same package The
consequence is, the halt grown never
ripen and the ripe ones rot. Of course
tomatoes that are put UP for shipment
to distant markets should not be per-
fectly ripe, but should be at least fully
grown.
"All spotted and deformed stock
should be rejected. The six-basket car
riers or the flats make satisfactory pack
ages.
Lettuce should receive especial care
1t should not be allowed to wither, but
packed as cut. All decayed leaves
should be picked off and in packing use
both hands to tuck the outer leaves
around the head to preserve it. Pack
in LAYERS with side pressure. Thus
packed it will carry long distances, and
keep fresh and crisp.
"Beets should be packed with the beets
in center of barrel instead of outside

The trees thus far planted in Puma

culture has already proven such a sue.
of land is now planted. There are also
small areas planted in Hevea Brasilen-
sis, the famous para rubber tree.
and from the rapid and sturdy growth
of the trees of this variety which have
been planted it seems evident that if
Hevea will develop anywhere in the
Hawaiian Islands it Will do so in Puma.
A notable feature of the rubber trees
in the Puma district is tine splendid de-
velopment of the leaf area. Ceara trees
from eighteen months to two wears Of
age prove to be veritabIe pyramids of
leaves, each leaf being from one 10
two times the size of the leaf on trees
