Tho people around these two towns
! are at last awakening to realization of
the fact that more money is to be made
by the cnltiv ltion of the smaller pro-
duct. to the exclusion OF the less profit
able sta"le,-cotton. Two years ago one
or two of orr citizens conceived the idea
of raising the Irish potato for shipment, :,
and the venture was attended with such
good results that this year some 1900
barrels of the article was shipped from
Bayou Sara. Of this number Messrs NJ
IL A. Fischer, the pioneers in this new
enterprise, shipped some 700 barrels to
Cincinnati, where q ready sale was
found. a largo portion of this
shipment was raised by the enterprising
firm, and tho average yield on the land
was twelve to one. Mr.. J. +. Irvine ship
pei BOB barrels, Picard & Woil, 205 and
several small shippers increased the total
to more than 1900 barrels. There has also
been shipped from this point over 1900
heads Of cabbage, wich were sold at an
average of six and 4 half cents per head
Quite u numbnr of crates Of this whole
some vege q 10 were shipped to New
Orleans and the Western states, while
many heads We're sold in Wcodville,
Jackson and Clint on. The Mnssrs. Fis-
cher inform us they made net profit
of some S20' on their individual crop.
The average weight of the heads raised
by these gon tlenlen was and 10 pounds.
