CUTTING GRADE OF
CROWLEY RIDGE.
Little Rock. April 19.—F. W.
Green, superintendent of the
Arkansas division of the Iron
Mountain, is at headquarters
this week in attendance upon the
conference of operating officials
of the system with reference to
the inauguration of a new time
card, and talks interestingly of
is being done at
on the M^em
ph . Green states
i that men at
%
work there and that the job will
be completed within three
months. Upwards of 425,000
cubic yards of dirt will be re
moved from the cut, and will be
used in filling certain bridges on
this line.
While an enormous amount of
earth is to be removed from the
cut, no detour will be built and
trains will continue to be ope
rated through and over this road
during the progress of the work.
The reducing of the grade will
bring the Memphis short line to
the standard grade, six-tOnths
of one per cent, and will greatly
facilitate the handling of freight
over this line. Heretofore it has
been necessary to “double” this
hill when freight trains of heavy
tonnage were operated, and this
has necessitated the loss ef
much time, an important factor
in modern transportation.
RAISING SEEDLESS FRUITS.
Boms Success Achieved with Apples,
Plums and Cherries in the
Last Few Years.
A veteran nurseryman of Colorado
heralds the fact that after years of pa
tient experiment in grafting and budding
he has secured a seedless apple. Modest
ly the creator has w ithheld information
of his success until he has secured 40
trees of his new variety, says a local in
formant. Expert pomologists have ex
amined the new apple, and declare it to
be very handsome in appearance. De
tails of the methods by which this
achievement was attained have not been
divulged, but when it Is remembered
f k o ♦ tk ft mlllmn_k/\v /iron nf r o trol
oranges came from a single shipment of
six slips the start that has already been
attained with 40 productive trees
presages an early appearance of the
seedles apple in commerce.
The department of agriculture, as well
as many grape growers, have been work
ing for years on the problem of a seed
less grape, and, while rumors of success
have appeared from time to time during
the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp
son seedless varieties have during the
past year established their reputation
among the viticulturists. The Japanese
plum, without a stone, is also reported a
reality, although the seeds have not
been obviated. Cherries without stones
are promised in the immediate future.
Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have j
been perfected by an Indiana woman, be- j
lng grown from the stock of the tomato, j
which Is replanted when it is at its full
height. Watermelons of the same freak
nature are also rumored from Georgia,
but not much credence is placed in this
report, though if tomatoes have been
perfected there is no essential reason
why similar success should not be a*»
t&lned with the watermelon.
