* TOMATO GROWING IX BEAUFORT. - ? By N. L. Willet. Beaufort Gazette. Twelve hundred acres went down early this spring around Beaufort in early tomatoes as grown intensively \ for the early market under the ^spotting system," which system has revolutionized tomato growing in New Jersey?one of our greatest tomato growing states. This try-out was the most important one ever undertaken at Beaufort and its outcome carried tremendous import to the truckers and these economic results of the * - -? 1-- f Tvtr year nave Deen eageriy naaucu truckers elsewhere. Now money was not made on tomatoes this year at Beaufort, but the process, which was wholly new, has now been learned by I the truckers. As regards the failure | this year, the truckers are convinced f that the cause was a crop1 failure and not a process failure. The truckers believe that the process is all right 1 and that this industry is one permanently indicated for Beaufort, or in other words, they believe that nature and not man was responsible for the losses of this year. An Abnormal Season. The truckers point out that our ' early spring this year was the most > supernormal one in history. Constant rains prevented pollenization and the setting of the fruit and the late season prevented the early planti, ing out of the crop. These two causes were causes that could not be help . ed and causes which may not happen in a long series o?>years. Let. me illustrate my point. One grower at i Beaufort only got seven cars of tomatoes from one hundred and t>"*ee acres. The truckers believe that.this / was something like one-tenth of what * he would have gotten in a normal year. This man is not discouraged and is going to try it out again. Another large trucker, a practical and well poised man, said if Mr. Macklin came out anywhere near even this year that a normal season these same farmers would make a million dollars. I \ A Commercial Basis. / > It is believed that the tomato crop has 'been put on a commercial basis in Beaufort land during the season just past by H. B. Macklin, a prominent proiduce commission merchant of New York city. Mr. Macklin has been watching Beaufort county for a f number of years and showed his con fidence In this truck section Dy investing thousands of dollars in Beau' fort, along with some twenty-eight of the most progressive truck planters in that section?tomatoes being grown under the spotting system. Mr. Macklin brought experienced tomato growers from New Jersey to grow the plants and supervise cultivation and loading of the crop. v The System. 1 The seeds are sown in a protected and a specially warm bed and when, seedings are four inches high they are transplanted to another bed and v "spotted" five inches apart. A stocky plant is grown and when six* or eight t inches high it is carried to the field rooted in a five-inch block of compost witlj a little soil on top. These plants are set deep in six feet rows, four - feet apart in medium light soil. This^ * spotting system not only advances : maturity of the tomato, but it greauy increases the yield of same. 4 * Packing Houses. Four large packing houses have been erected by Mr. Macklin at the most important shipping points, three of these being on the Port Royal railroad and one on the Seaboard Air line. The tomatoes are packed when ' they turn white and are carried to the nearest packing house where they are gTaded and packed by experts. Aside from Mr. Macklin, W. E. Rich; ardson, president of the Beaufort Bank, has been deeply interested in tomatoes and has given most active cooperation to its development and to Mr. Macklin and Mr. Richardson, { the Beaufort truckers interested in the development of Beaufort county feel deeply obligated. As far as I can learn as to the growth of this big industry, both Mr. Macklin and the Beaufort truck planters that planted with Him are enmusiasiu; over planting tomatoes on this system daring the coming season. N. L. W. Let fate do her worsif; there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy; Which come in the night time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories filled, Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled? You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, i But the scent-of the roses will hang round it still. ?Thomas Moore. ? . . A BEAUTIFUL LIVE OAK AT BEAUFORT, S. C. Which is One of the Most Remarkable Trees in America. Beaufort Gazette. By N. L. Willet. In my two previous articles I told of two national shrines down in Beau fort county, as notable as any other shrine and in some respects the most remarkable of all of our American shrines?namely, the 1562 Charles Fort and first Huguenot landing which took place on Parris Island and, the old Sheldon Parish ^church with a history of at least two hunj dred years. These two old shrines today are in ruins, but nearby and a contemporary perhaps of the Charles Fort and possibly four hundred years old, is a living and seemingly I immortal live oak tree which is equalI ly worthy to be named as a national shrine. Experts pronounce this tree, known as the Williams Live Oak, on Bray's island, near Sheldon as being one of tbe most remaritaoie trees in all this country. Davey, the tree man, visited this tree and said that it amazed him. Winthrop Packard, the naturalist, said of it: "I have never seen a tree so dignified and so beautiful." , Rich in Shrines. Beaufort county is not only rich in her history, her soils, her climate, her crops, her wild animal life, but it is especially rich in being the possessor of three most notable shrines, Fort, Church, and Live Oak Tree. ? The Williams live oak is, of course* an evergreen tree. It is heavily clothed or draped with gray Spanish moss. It occupies a beautiful spot on the bank of the Pocataligo river and is on one of the richest of the sixtyfour islands that make up Beaufort county. There are three or four famous live oak trees ip the county that have been visited and made matters of publicity by our national tree men, hnt the finest and most remarkable of this group is this old amazing one on the L. J. Williams place. t ? , The Tree. The tree carries about thirty long limbs. The spread of these limbs from tip to tip shows a diameter of one hundred and thirty-three feet, wihich is practically the distance between a store front on the north side and a store front on the south side of Broad street, Augusta. The tree itself one foot above ground is fifty-five feet in circumference and^ something like eighteen in diameter. Four feet above the ground it is twenty-three feet and seven inches in circumference, while at six feet above the ground it is. thirty-six feet and four inches in circumference, which means that at this six feet height the io twolwo foot in riiamotor Rfi Vi 10 vnvif V AVW ' / tween this one foot and this six feet in height the tree narrows to about eight feet in diameter. ^Live oaks are often said to have waists like "women?that is narrow. The tree at ten feet puts out four immense branches of about fifteen feet in circumference or five feet in diameter. The Boot System. The root system is as amazing as the tree itself. To look at it you would think that its whole root system was above ground. These immense roots of three to four feet in diameter coil in and fold in among themselves as if they were so many snakes. The root system spreads out under the tree ninety-nine feet in circumference. Expert tree men have declared that possibly not in the whole of America could be found any such amazing root system as obtains in this Williams oak.

And we must remember that other shrine trees are not evergreen, they are not i draped with Spanish moss nor do they stand on the banks of a noble river. What would not other states where history and beauty are more revered give for these three old Beaurort ta^ia shrines. Statement by the A. C. L. The Atlantic Coast Line railway has issued the following statement: * 1 In view of the many misleading and incorrect statements being published. the Atlantic Coast Line railroad company desires the public to know the true conditions existing today over its entire system, and that through the efforts of those who loyally continued at work, and others who have entered its service since July first, the trains are moving currently and on schedule. The force of laborers in and around all shops, consisting of nearly fourteen hundred men, is normal. More than one hundred skilled workmen have been employed within the ' a J AA t ? * ? last lour (lays. AI man; yuiuis iuii forces are at work. In the two large shops at RockyMount, N. C., and Waycross, Ga., the round house forces are respectively sixty-eight per cent, and eighty-two per cent, normal. These are the forces that take care- of engines which run passenger and freight trains and the yard engines engaged in switching. The socalled "backshop" forces at Rocky Mount and Waycross, where a large number ot men are normally employed, are being recruited rapidly. These forces are assigned to heavy repair work consisting of general overhauling of engines after they have been in service for a considerable length of time. When the strike took place on July first this company had on hr,n/t mnro than usual number 1IUUU AAA VTA V _ of engines which had been completely overhauled, and with its purchase of new locomotives within the last two years, is in position to defer, if necessary, heavy repairs to locomotives for severaf months without affecting in the least the handling of current business; but, as our forces are being steadily increased, progress id the matter of heavy repairs can be made, and is being made, rapidly. forces at all points and in all grades of work will be normal within a very short time. Since July first more than twenty-three hundred new employees have been taken into service in place of striking shopmen, and these men together with nearly eight hundred who remained at work* including the highly skilled foremen, are entitled to great credit for the service which has been given to the public during the days since July first. These forces are sufficient to take care of inspection and repairs as may be necessary from day to day and are giving such work careful attention, including first of all that of safety inspection. * Crossing the Unbuilt.
