BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Morning, May 19, 1891 NUT CULTURE. We have several times in these columns called attention to the sub ject of nut culture, especially of the pecan, as an industry in which the farmers of this State, especially in the eastern and central portions of it, might engage with profit. The pe can belongs really to the hickory nut species and can be successfully grown wherever the hickory tree will grow. The culture of the pecan is now engaged in to a limited extent in this State, in South Carolina, in Florida $nd in Texas, but the culture is yet In its infancy and will never be very extensively engaged in because there are few persons who have patience to wait seven or eight years to realize from a crop planted. This is one reason why there need be no fear of the. industry being overdone. We were very much interested in a letter published in the Charleston News and Courier, a few days ago, written by a gentleman at Bamberg, Barnwell county, S. C, who tells what he knows about pecan growing and the possibilities that are in it as a paying industry. He began planting fifteen years ago, and has now a thirty-five acre orchard to which he will add sixty five acres more this winter. At ten years his trees yielded at the rate of $15t) to the acre, ancLat fifteen years at the rate of $300 to the acre. There is only One crop in this coun try that will do that, and that is the finest kind of tobacco. It is from four to eight times as much as fair cotton land will produce. It is five times as much as the average tobac co crop will yield, fifteen times as much as the average wheat crop will yield, twenty times as much as the average corn crop. The man who plants cotton, to bacco, wheat, corn, etc., has to plow, plant, cultivate and harvest every year, taking his chances on frosts, floods, droughts, storms and insects, and then when the gauntlet of grow ing and harvesting the crop is run, must take his chances on a market which may be oversupplied and the prices consequently low, too low to pay the cost of cultivation and leave a margin for profit. With the pecan it is not so. The planting once done the principal labor is over; there" is no more plow ing, no more cultivating, no fear of frosts, floods, droughts or insects, for the tree is a hardy one and will stand anything the hickory will stand. The only labor after the tree is in bearing is the gathering of the nuts, a'nd the only labor before they come into bearing, which is usually about the seventh year, (the yield increasing every year until the tree reaches ma turity) is a little mulch ing or fertilizing for the first year or J two to help the growth. Once root ed the orchard is a permanent thing and a perpetual producer, which takes care of itself and will live as long as the hickory tree lives. - The plan of this Bamberg culti vator is to lay off the land in checks 35 by35 feet, which gives about thirty-six trees to the acre. He plants trees one year old, never more than two years bid, because, he says, it is not unusual for a tree at one year old to have a root twice as long as the tree is tall. He recommends good mulching for the first year or so, and after that any high grade fertilizer will produce astonishing re sults. His experience is that trees planted in the fall will grow more in two years than thos.e planted in the spring will in three, because they form new roots in the fall and stand the following summer better. Other crops, such as cotton, corn, grass, &c, may be grown on the land until the trees come into bear ing, or turned to pasture, as stock do not trouble the trees, so that the land devoted to the pecan trees is nearly as useful as it was before, tor other crops, until the trees become sufficiently large to so shade the ground that there would not be sun shine enough for other crops, save grass, which might be grown all the time. In planting care should be taken to secure the best kind of trees, those producing the largest and sweetest nut, some kinds of trees producing small and tasteless nuts with more wood than meat in-them There are very few farmers i n North Carolina who couldn't spare a few acres to the pecan, if he didn't want to spare many, and to what better use could the "old fields" of which there are thousands of acres, be put? Thus without costing a dollar to reclaim them they might be made the most productive and valu able part of "the farm. There is growing in central North Carolina a thin-shelled hickory which is superior in quality of meat and flavor to the average pecan, and equal to the best, which if planted and cultivated would prove almost if not quTte as profitable as the pecan. And there is the walnut, too, which m eight or ten years "would be valu able not only for the nut but for the timber, becoming more valuable for both every year as the pecan and hickory do. There is an inviting field open for nut culture in this State for the young man who will enter it. As a source of revenue, with little labor or little risk, it holds out induce ments that no other crop grown can offer. MINOS MENTION. The people of New Orleans were not wanting in justification for the heroic method they adopted to extir pate the Mafia, but if there was any thing lacking in their justification it was supplied in the declarations of the Italian Consul just before his recall to Italy. He said that the night after the lynching of the men in the parish jail, a meeting was held at which it was resolved to as sassinate the Mayor of the city, Messrs. Parkerson, Wickliffe and other men prominent in the proceed ings against the Mafia. A number of the men who were at this meet ing, filled wjth a thirst for vengeance and determined to take it, called on him and informed him of their pur pose. He says he had to argue and expostulate with them for hours be fore he could dissuade them from carrying out theif bloody resolu tion. Later another party caud, among whom there was some women, loud in their demands for vengeance, to inform him that they had deter mined to blow up with dynamite the club house to which the men whose blood they demanded belonged, in tending to destroy them in the wreck of the house. He had to use hrs most persuasive powers to pre vent this plot from being executed. It does not seem that at any time he took the precaution or the trouble to inform the parties whose names were on the death roll of their dan ger or of any plots against them. If there wasany proof needed of the vicious and dangerous character of the men against whom the people of New Orleans found it necessary to resort to heroic measures, this mouthing Consul in the effort to pose as a savior has furnished it, and furnished - another reason, too, why those entrusted with the enforce ment of the immigration laws should use a microscope, so ta.speak, in in specting immigrants who corrre from the same regions that furnished those. It is said that within the past five years while the wheat area of the West has been increased three mil lion acres the area in the East has been decreased four million acres, an evidence that wheat culture in the East is being abandoned. There are two reasons for this. One is the de-" cline in the demand for wheat for exportation, the exports falling off from 186,000,000 bushels iri 1880-81 to 88,000,000 bushels in 1888-89. While the exports fell off the price declined so that there was no profit to the eastern farmer farmer in grow ing wheat. The next reason is that the eastern farmer can not compete with the western farmer in raising wheat and consequently he cannot compete with the western farmer in his home market. Under these cir cumstances all he could do was to abandon wheat culture and turn his attention to fruit. vegetables and other things in the raising of which he did not have the Western farmer to compete with. . But, it might be asked, why this large decline in wheat export It is to be attribu ted mainly to the tariff, which by re straining exchange of products with wheat-buying countries has forced them to look in other directions for the'supplies they bought from us when they could do so on more fav orable times than they have been able to do since the high protection ists have had swing controlling the tariff policy in this country, making the restrictions on trade the greater every time they touched it until they have got it up to almost prohibitory figures. It is needless to say that the farmers and the country both suffer by this blind and stupid policy. Little incidents sometimes test the sincerity of a man's professions quite as effectually as great ones would President Harrison has always pro fessed great friendliness for and in terest in tlie colored people of this country and has held that a respec table negro was entitled to as much respect and recognition as a white person, and that color alone should not be a bar to his recognition. This has been logically, if not so ex pressed, Mr. Harrison's position; but he has never carried it out in prac tice. That he carries within him, in spite of all his professions, the color prejudice as deeply rooted as anyone was strikingly shown at Portland, Oregon, where he refused to shake hands with a respectable old colored woman. When she extended her hand, he turned away. She, thinking he didn't see her, said: "Mr. Presi dent, I want to shake hands" with you." Instead of shaking hands with her, as he had been doing with the white people, he simply said: "Excuse me," and turned away from her. The old womanfelt deeply hurt at this rebuff from a man whom she was taught to look upon as an espe cial friend qf her race, and she went away fully impressed with the con viction that his professions were not even skin deep. STATE TOPICS. The Greensboro Record trots out the champion snake story so far this season. It was about a snake about as big round as a stove pipe and be tween twelve and some more feet long,twisted around the neck of a cow and about to squeeze the daylights out of her when a".Guilford county girl came meandering along and in terrupted .the proceedings. This girl was attracted by the noise which the cow made in her efforts to get re leased from the snake which was tightly coiled around her . neck. When that rgirl saw the snake it might be supposed that she would "git up and git," but she didn't. She just took right hold of that snake by" the nape of the neck, gave it a twist and landed it very much surprised uporv- the ground. The snake, taken so suddenly, without time to collect its thoughts, didn't stop to ask that girl any questions, but it just waddled off into the thicket. There are some people who are so'incredu lous that they do not believe this story, but there is only one thing about it which staggers us. We don't mind thebig snake, for snakes do grow pretty large sometimes and thereisplenty of room in Guilford county for snakes "to grow; it has a good and healthful climate, also. We don't doubt the cow part ot it, but we do doubt that it was a Guil ford girl that pulled the snake off, for if it had been a Guilford girl she instead of letting it go, would' have twined her fingers around that snake's narrative and larruped the ground with hit until there wasn't any snake left. The Georgia negro who turned his stomach into a savings bank found it didn't work. He was afraid some body would steal a silver dollar which he had,put-it in his mouth before he went to bed, went to sleep and swallowed it. Then he sent for a doctor and the doctor charged him two dollars to get it out, CURRENT COMMENT. Two years ago financiers were worried about the surplus; now they are devoting their ingenuity to showing how the Government may manage to meet its obligation withr out disturbing the reserve funds. Phil Ledger, Ind. ' Here is the Republican finan cial policy, condensed for busy read ers: If the American consumer pur chases only American-made goods the tariff taxes "go into the pockets of the monopolists, who contribute part of their gains to the Republican campaign funds; if he buys foreign- maae gooas tne tarm taxes go into the Treasury to be dissipated by Re publican extravagance m Congres sional appropriations and misappro priations. Chicago Mail, Dem Mr Pullman has promptly denied that he defrayed the expenses . of the Presidential tour, as stated by a Chicago correspondent of the Washington Post, or that he has any political aspirations or any interests in politics. This is certainly as com prehensive and as emphatic a re joinder as any one could ask tor; and the question sojar as any question may be said to remain for newspa per discussion is, therefore, rele gated once more to the domain o theory. Phil. Recoed, JDem. WEATHER. CROP BULLETIN For thd Week "Binding Friday, May 15th 1891. Central Office, Raleigh, N. C The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Expe riment Station and State Weather Service, for the week ending Friday x May 15th, 1891, show that more Favorable conditions have prevailed over the greater part of the State during the past few days. The weather continued very warm and dry until the evening of the 12th, when a general ram set in, which continued until Saturday. This has broken the drought which had pre vailed since April 23d, and has great ly improved .most crops. Unfortu nately the rain was accompanied by such cool weather as to retard growth. Warmth is greatly needed. In portions of the Central and West ern Districts the rainfall was heavy enough to do some damage to cot ton. Transplanting tobacco is in progress. On the evening: of the 12th a severe hail-storm occurred in the south-eastern part of the West ern District, especially over the east ern half of Gaston county, and the central part of Mecklenburg county, extending down into Union and Anson counties. It was particularly heavy at Charlotte, and did great damage to crops over all the region covered. Eastern District. Weather continued very dry and warm up to the night of the 12th; followed by much cooler weather with rain, which has been very beneficial. The rain fall was only slightly in excess of the average in the northern portions of the district. The excess for the week was .30 at Norfolk; the defici ency at Wilmington .80 inch. The deficiency in temperature has been about 14 degrees for the week all occurring on the last three days. Cool weather has retarded growth of crops. Rainfall for the week: Wil mington, .08 inch; Blackman's Mills, 1.33; Weldon, 1.20; Tarboro, 1.75. Central District. The rainfall was much heavier in this district, the excess being over 1.50 inches. Cot ton was slightly injured by heavy rain and cool weather in southern portions. The rain would have been more favorable had the weather con tinued warm, but the result on the whole has been to put crops in bet ter condition. Transplanting of to bacco is progressing rapidly.' A hail-storm occurred on the 12th in the southern portions of the district injuring cotton and wheat in Union, Anson and Richmond counties. Western District. Avery heavy rain and hail storm occurred on the evening of the '12th, in the south eastern portion of the district, cov ering the eastern half of Gaston county and the central part of Meck lenburg county, and extending south eastward into the Central District. It was especially severe at Charlotte, where 3.06 inches of rain and hail fell on the 12th and 13th. Over the area covered great damage was caused to wheat, cotton and other crops. In other parts of the district the rainfall has been beneficial. To tal amounts for the week: Lenoir, 1.80 inches; Asheville, .73; Mt. Pleasant, 2.43; Salisbury, 2.57; Dal las, 3.50; Charlotte about 4.50. H. B. Battle, Ph. D., Director. C. F. von Herrmann, Weather Bureau, Assistant. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. Whatever glory the United States may have secured in attempting to ar rest tho Itata, it- remains a fact that her escape showed a superabundance of stu pidity. It was the easiest matter in the world to prevent that removing a bolt or two from her engine would alone have done the business, making her powerless to move an inch. Instead of this we have a stern-chase pursuit at the cost of thousands of dollars and we know not yet what entanglements with foreign powers. Askeviue Citizen. We believe that the-average school of to-day has leaped to an extreme just as inefficient and hurtful as the lack of progressiveness in the old time school wrought injury at the other extreme. No one seems specially to blame for this. We are all to blame. The patrons of a school are just as guilty (really more) for the educational shortcomings of their children as are the teachers. A harder worked people, anxious-and re sponsible, the world does not contain. Concord Standard. PERSONAL. President Balmaceda of Chile is a stern and "arbitrary man, with cold fray eyes thin lips and an angular chin, le possesses more education and ability than are usually found in a South American dictator. M. Bouvier, the French minis ter of finance, is still a young man, who has already made a reputation for ex traordinary ability as a statesman and financier. He is regarded as One of the coming men in France. Judge Crisp, the Georgian candi date for- the speakership of the National House of Representatives, is a man of refined and engaging manners, who is always well-dressed. He has a clear complexion, piercing eyes and a straight nose. - M. Lambert, who married into the Rothschild family a. few years ago. Is to become the head of the Paris house of that famous firm upon the death of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild. M. Lambert isnow known as Albert de Rothschild. Dr. R. J. Gatling, the inventor of the famous gun that bears his name, says that he also invented the first wheat drill in this country. That was in 1843, and the invention led the way for the succeeding wonderful advance in agricultural implements. Miss Marie R! Schiller, who will be one of the three women to visit South America for the purpose of in teresting the women of that continent in the World's Fair, is highly educated and accomplished, speaking Spanish, French and German as fluently as she does English. She is a Philadelphian. . Susannah Nelson, colored, who died in Washington last week, is said to have been 128 vears old. One of her daughters the ninth child herself over 80 years of age said that she thought "one reason the old. lady held out so well was because she was a large part Indian, and you know Indians are very long lived.
