Oh, that was the dish thut our forefather* relished
When called in at noonday from Held of their work,
A big dish of greens, with its boaf 111 embelUbed
With generous sliees of country cured pork.
Their lips they would smack with extreme satisfaction,
Unloose the top button that served on their jeans
To give them more room when they got the right action
Upon the loved lay out of baeon und greens.
The women their faded sunbonnets would tie on
And seek for ttie treasure in lane and in wood.
The tender young mustard, the sweet dandelion
And other green things that they knew to lie good.
From out the great pot they the fruit of their labors
Would stack for the feast in the waiting tureens,
The fragrance borne forth telling all of their neighbors
The tale of the dinner of bacon and greens.
New Yorkers may dine on hot birds and cold bottles,
The Jcrscyites feast on the suceulant clam,
Chicagoans send down their ravenous throttles
Most liberal swallows of home doctored ham.
8t. Louis may feed on corn pone and molasses,
The Bostoneae revel in brown bread and beans,
But none of these foods fit for angels surpasses
The old fashion filling of bacon and greens.

In your last issue appears a thk_ de.\i
communication from Mr. Single- pon
ton making serious charges against
produce buyers and especially **©■ Ad
millers, which charges, if true,
would render the millers subject
to heavy penalties for violation of yAN
the anti-trust laws of Texas.
He specifies by saying in effect
that the millers have agreed not
I to compete with each other in
I purchasing grain, thus, by con-
j spiracv, placing restriction upon
j trade. The fallacy of this state-
ment exi*ts in the well known
fact that a large percentage of
grain gold in this and other towns
is bought by other than local
mills, and the reason why more
grain is not shipped away from
local milN is because local mills
pay more than other mills can af-
ford to pay when freight is added.
Other mills are always in the
market at every station when the?
can buy at satisfactory prices, but
frequently the local mills must
keep the prices so high that their

De considered, ir your

j The Democrat correspondent
gleaned the following information
about the fruit crop and Farmers'
Congress outlook from E. W.
Kirkpatriek, the extensive Me-
Kinney nurseryman and horticul-
turist:
"The profusion of bloom gave
bright promise for fruit of ail
kinds, but now we find fruit in
small supply.
"Unfavorable weather and the
absence of bees and other pollen-
izing insects are among the chief
causes of scarcity of fruit. The
best supply of fruits appear in
those locations where bees are
plentiful. Special effort should
be made to establish a few colo-
nies of bees in, or near, every or-
chard; not entirely for the pur-
pose of taking honey, but for the
more important work of pollen-

public weighers by saying the
farmers are clamoring for a new
and broader public law that will
compel the weighing, on public
scales, all produce marketed.
The law in theory is beautiful
and in sympathy for the farmer is
commendable, but in application
it has proven absurd and unsatis-
factory. Instead of ninety per
cent of the farmers wanting this
law, the truth is that the majority
prefer private to public scales, us
is shown by actual weights. The
farmers need no guardian to tell
them where to weigh and where
to sell. Thev know there are
honest and hishonest men in near-
ly every business, and they are
quick to locate them. Public
scales are frequently located in-
conveniently for both buyer and
seller, adding a mile or more to
the freight distance. If it is
necessary to have a public weigher

that many of our most
trees cannot bear full
fruit without tbo aid of insects in
distributing the pollen.
"Our early varieties of peaches
are ripening one month late this
season.
"Nearly all fruits are scarce,
small and late. Pecans and wal-
nuts promise a fair yield. These
nuts should be planted and culti-
vated in their improved vaiieties
in all parts of Texas. When we
have loeated the finest varieties
they should be propagated widely.
The walnut is not less interesting
than the pecan. A curly walnut
tree lately sold in Hey wood coun-
ty, North Carolina, for $1500.
The man who cultivated it receiv-
ed $3000 at the cars and the ve-
neering company in New York
City realized $60,000 from this
one tree.
"The walnut is easily grown
and easily grafted and grows rap-
idly on rich, moist land. Our
bottom lands planted to paper-
shell pecans or curly walnut trees
and cultivated with alfalfa and
fine cattle, would become as val-
uable as the famous oil lands.
" I hese and other intensely in-
teresting subjects will be discussed
at Farmers' Congress on July 23
to 26.
"Some ot our small, weak finan-
ciers of today will be giants after
awhile and our strong men, in
some cases, will fall, simply be-
muse one class accepted the op-
portunities while others said,
'Soul, take thy ease. I will not
go to the congress.'
"This is a peculiar age of fra
ternity, sympathy, friendship,
mutual aid, community of interest
and brotherhood. Those meet-
ings are socialistic, inasmuch as
the experience, observation and
ascertained facts of all are thrown
together, and ihis whole stock is
urcnas-
ers of his produce in the towns,
why not have a deputy in each
store to see that the weights and
measures are correct, and why
not have a deputy at each gin
throughout the country, and in-
deed, a deputy with each farmer
to guard him against the wiles of
the horse jockey, the gold-brick
men and against confidence men
generally?
All this is not necessary. Farm-
ers understand their business tol-
erably well. They may be deceiv-
ed occasionally, but they seldom
make the same mistake twice.
They generally know where to
deal and how to deal.
This broad law eould compel
people to accept public weights
whether corrector incorrect. The
seller might accept these weights,
but the buyer would not accept
these weights unless correct.
1 he crying needs of these times
are not more laws giving special
classes broader, and larger fees,
but men of broader views of free-
dom in trade and unrestricted
commerce.

The modern method of harvest-
ing corn has not been generally
adopted yet iu any portion of the
south. Wasteful methods that
have always prevailed are still
practiced. The blades arc some-
times stripped from the stalks by
hand and cured for fodder, but ex-
perience has shown that this fod-
der does not pay for the labor of
gathering and curing. The ears
are snatched from the stalks,
thrown in small heaps, aud after-
wards a wagon comes along, and
the cars are picked up, thrown in
the wagon and hauled away. The
other half of the crop is left to
brave the weather and be con-
sumed by wind and rain; and if
any part of it remains when plow-
ing time comes, it is piled and
burned, to the detriment of the
soil The modern way is to reap
the corn, as well as the wheat, and
iu much the same manner,' the
machine cutting the stalks and
tying in bundles, ready to be set
up in shock. The ears may b e
separated at any time, husked and
shelled, or the husking aud shell*
ing can be done as needed. Thp
stalks entire mapy be cured and
stacked and make excellent fod-
der. Or the whqle batch can he
run through a shredder and made
into hay, when it will be eaten up
clean by the atock. One reason
for not saving the stalks is that
there is not enough live atock on
the fnrm to consume it, This is
another piece of bad management,
Thero ought to be stock enough
on the farm to consume all of this
product. There is where the
farmer's profit should come from,
