that two different sets of people with

had acquired the opportunity of securing
a large tract of land lying altogether. and
they were in want Of English capitalists
who would take the matter up and find
the necessary capital. These two con-
functions met together-the people IN
America who were ab1 70 manage this
proposition and who had the land to-

things. We satisfied ourselves as far as
it was humanely possible to satisfy our
selves upon the credentials OF the Ameri-

we found them TO be people of the high

world at any rate. We also satisfied oul-
selves that the land offered for grow

be a great profit is another matter: that.

is really a remarkable security and
should make 4 fair return on the money
that is invested. and as we are we'll salts

The prospects forthe fruit crop IN
North Carolina is a~nnouncedw as fol-
lows by Mr.. w. y. HUT, the state
Horticulturist.
The prospects for the fruit crop in
this sCason's fruit prospects for
North Carolina is announced as fol-
tedious work. Under varying wealth
er conditions it had to he revised and
remade from week TO week as the
season advanced. The growing sea-
son opened up late, and owing to con-
tinued cool, cloudy weather fruit
trees were slow in budding out.
Bloom came late. and 1t Was hoped
thai the danger period would be safe
~ passed. BY the middle Of March
peaches and pears were IN full bloom.
At his time a three days storm
came on from the northwest and
freezing temperatures prevailed over
the State on March 10. l6 II Il.
This storm cleaned up the pear crop
pretty generally, and also most Of the
early peaches. Apples had at this
time not budded out and therefore
escaped injury. Later, apples bloom
ed profusely and gave splendid prom
Use of a crop. . a few frosts occurred
in some parts, but this did little dam
age to tree fruits. Everything gave
promise of a bumper apple crop until
the latter part of May, when the
weather became very warm and dry.
This caused fruit to shed heavily,
which had safely passed th1 frost
period.
