THE FSUIT CROP.
Prospects For The Gomlno
Season In This Sec
tion.
Farmers Are Looking Into
Fruit Culture With A
View of Adopting
The Business. ,
Fruit growing bids fair to be
come a much more important in
dustry in this section than hither
to. Many of the farmers who have
heretofore put in their time in
cultivating corn, oats etc., are now
paying attention to the raising of
fruit.
It will be remembered that the
strawberry crop brought over $300,-
000 in this sectiou during the past
summer. Many of the growers of
strawberries have already commen
ced work on their next year’s crop,
laying plans for cultivating their
plants and for their protection this
winter. The indications are that
there will be a much heavier yield
uext year than ever before. The
acreage will be much larger, while
the plants will be given more at
tention.
F. J. Bennett is now taking quite
an interest in strawberry raising,
and is one ol the leading members
of the Chattanooga Fruit Growers’
association. He said yesterday:
“It takes time to develop an indus
try to establish an enterprise, and
this is especially true in fruit cul
ture.
“Fruit growing began in the
Chattanooga section fully twenty
years ago, when rented lands were
largely used and the fruitcrop was
usually a ‘side issue.’ Grapes
brought from 10 to 15 cents per
pound and strawberries and poach
es from $3 to $5 per crate in mar
ket.
“Only a few special localities
were thought adapted to fruit rais
ing, and these were indifferently
cultivated. Today it is well
known that a,ll soils in this sec
tion, except the creek and river
formations, are more or less avail
able for successful fruit culture.
The large prices are gone, but e
eonomy and skill in culture, great
care in the selection of varieties
and in marketing of the crop, as
well as ownership of lands, have
all taken the place of the rental
indifference in the management
and the absence of care and skill
in marketing the crops.
“Successful fruit growing is by
far the most difficult in the entire
agricultural field. To make a
strawberry large, firm and red,
matters of culture and the correct
application of potash phosphoric
acid and nitrogen in proportions
to suit the deficiencies of these el
ements in the fertility of the soil
are necessary. Chemistry is a very
great help, but experience only
gives the reliable result, and this
information comes from careful
trials and close observation,
“Anyone who will give the sub
ject an investigation will find ear
ly in the proceedings that our lo
cality is as reliable and product
five as any fruit section, and they
will further discover that there has
; been, as a rule, less method and
skill applied here than elsewhere.
This absence of skill has reached
its limit, and that class of cultiva
tors are surely going out of the
business, for it will not now pay
them, with grapes from 5 cents
down and peaches and strawber
ries at $1 and $3 per crate.
“Peach growing will, whenever
tried with the same care which is
given in other peach growing sec
tions, succeed here as well. The
first orchards planted here were■
from northern nurseries, and of
course, of their local varieties, and
were failures. Not one in fifty of
their catalogue lists will succeed
here in the commercial orchards.
The varieties that are reliable in
general will do as well here, and
there are a few small plantings of
the general kinds which are fruit
ing well. Peach orchards can be
planted here with entire confidence
and with better prospects for pro
fits than the fruit sections of
middle Georgia and Alabama, for
these cannot oversupply the north
ern markets during their season.
Thus the two weeks’ difference in
time of maturing gives to our
growers a clear market.
“Our 1897 strawberry crop sum
med up more than 100 car loads
! peaches five or six car loads. I
believe that 200 cars of peaches
annually could be raised here at a
good profit. If it were not a fact
that our strawberries were larger
and firmer than produced in other
sections, our limit of market
would be soon reached. The 1897
crop of strawberries produced along
the Atlantic coast from Charles
ton to Norfolk was over 2,000 car
loads. These berries are distributed
in the cities of Baltimore, Phila
delphia, New York, Boston and
lesser places and in the interior to
Buffalo and Pittsburg. In tin so
last two cities Chattanooga berries
came into competition last season,
and outclassed theirs in size, ap
pearance and quality, and of
course outsold them. This fact is of
immenss importance for we can
take these and other cities from
their control as markets. —Chatta-

It is Bad.
Very bad policy to neglect symp
toms of trouble in the kidneys. If
allowed to develop they cause
much suffuiing and sorrow.
Bright’s disease, diabetes and drop
sy owe their great prevalence and
fatality to neglect of the first
warning symptoms. Dr.. J. H.
McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm
is a certain cure for any disease or
weakness of the kidneys. A trial
will convince you of its great po
tency. Price SI.OO a bottle.
If any of our subscribers have wells
that are failing in water and will put
a pint of salt in their wells they will
find an increase of water within twen
ty-four hours, says the Green Hazel
Herald. We do not know the philoso
phy of the matter, but several instan
ces here in town wherethe experiment
had been tried., demonstrate beyond a
doubt the efticacy-of the experiment.
Dr. Nickell, Etnery James, the editor
of this paper, aud others have used
salt for this purpose and can testify
as to the result. The two first nam
ed found an increase of one foot of
water in their wells within twenty
four hours, and Mr. James says he
never knew the remedy to fail to pro
duce good results. A little salt prop
erly applied will convince the most
skeptical, and we hope all who are suf
fering a short supply of water will try

Pains in the small of the back
indicate a diseased condition of
ihe kidneys. Owing to the danger
ous nature of the diseases which
attack these organs it is importan
that measures should be taken to
remove the trouble before it has
become too firmly fixed. Prudence
would suggest the prompt use of
Dr. J, H. McLean’s Liver and Kid

will cause an early restoration to
healthy conditions. Price $1 a
