A Strong Letter Arguing For Vrnll |eml
Vegetable Farming.
Coruei.k, August 22.—Editor Times.
Recorder:—I have noticed with much
gratification your eplendld articles on
fruit and vegetable farming. It Is a fact
that when overproduction appears in
any one article among manufacturer*
that they cease to manufacture that ar
ticle but go at something else for a
time. When brown sheeting went below
the cost of production, Immediately cot
ton manufacturer* changes! their looms
and made other fabric* which were
profitable and slid not persist in making
brown sheeting* at a loss. This prin
ciple has always governed every trade
and calling for all time, and applies to
all alike—except to the southern farmer.
He has seen cotton fall far below the
cost of production. He has seen hun
dreds of farmers in slcbt anil discontent
ed beyond measure: bo lias seen them
itterly impoverished on the all-cotton
plan of farming, he has seen a portion
of his countrymen restless am! falling a-
easy prey to the infamous power of t. ■
demagogues of the third party ail 00 •
count of overproduction in cotton,
the does not seek to change. It is
truo that this same southern farmer will
agree with you that tho all-cotton plan
is ruinous to every interest of tho south
it is truo 1m will tell you that there is
not a living in planting cotton at six
cents, yet notwithstanding nil of these
facts lie still persists with the irony of
fate to plant tho more of ids crop every
year in cotton. He cannot explain it,
neither will he indorse Ids own course in
conversation with his brethren. The
law of supply and demand then does not
apply to southern farmers.
Hut there are, thank God, a few ex.
ceptions to this Ignoble rule among far.
mers. These exceptions constitute the
•mall quota of happy, contented farmeis
and are the only farmers in the south
who are making auy money. We can
but glory in the example of Sam Humph,
who this year made #1.0,000 net from his
peach orchard. We love to tell of J. A.
Stafford, of Pike county, Ga., who aohl
his peaches on the tree* fur #7,000 cash;
and of how S. W. Coney cleared a profit
of #1,S00 on his watermelon patch this
year. The example of these men should
inspire the farmers of this section to at
least raise some crops whore ovorpro-
duction Is not so disastrous to prices.
Plenty of fruit makes cheap pork. Any
farmer will tell you that a pound of
pork can be raised chonpcr than a pound
of cotton, yet ho will persist In raising
cotton at 0 cents to buy pork at lOccnts
per pound.
Putnam county is the only county In
tho stste of Georgia where tho young
college graduato comes home and goes
to farming; from Katonton alone 3,000
pounds of butter every week Is shipped
to other markets; there are 'hundred* of
dairy farms in the county. Agricultural
societies are formed which discuss ay
proved methods of farming instead of
politics. Everyyear the farmers meet

Bcffalo, N. Y., August 23.—Just
after midnight last night a number of
strikers or sympathizers began to throw
ooupllng pins at a squad of soldiors
from Company K, of the Tenth regi
ment. The soldiers were ordered to tiro
if the pin throwing did not stop.
It stopped. Captain Murphy .and
Lieutenant Morris arrived on the scene
with a detachment of the reserve, and
made a thorough search through the
yards, but could find no one there.
The i umor that a man had been killed
is not true.
The board of mediation and arbitra
tion have decided to begin an investiga
tion of the switchmen's strike tomorrow
and the summoning of witnesses has al
ready begun.
The origin of the lire was in the
kitchen. Although tbe cook denies it,
it is believed that she got some negro
man to start the lire for her. Ue acci
