\ Successful Truck Farmer.

Mr.. f. J. Roberts, of Leon county, Fla,
may be numbered among the successful
truck farmers Of that State. In raising
Irish potatoes this year he seems to have
excelled all his neighbOrs. He sold early,
obtained good prices, and is satisfied with
his experiments. The Land Of FlOtCerS
saws Mr.. Roberts will try it again next
year and will increase the number OF
acres planted to fifty. He began three
years ago by planting One-fourth of an
acre. The next year he planted four
acres, and the third twenty acres, making
a clear profit of $50 per acre, which, he
SAYS, is better than he can do planting
ANYTHING else. His faith is growing
stronger in the profits of truck farming,
and, in addition to large increase of pO-
tatoes, he is contemplating venture OF
fifty acres in watermelons. The success
of Mr.. Roberts with potatoes is all the
more gratifying because his plantation is
distant from any railway station or ship
ping point ten or twelve miles, necessi-
tating the great Inconvenience Of hauling
that distance to Tallahassee. His secret
is in getting his potatoes ready
for market at an early date, be-
fore competition springs up in more
northern localities. Middle and East
Florida have an advantage over almost all
other sections of the country in the mat
ter of very early crops. The truck farmers
of these sections can raise about all
kinds of truck very nearly month ear
lier than the same crops can be raised
further north. They have practically
monopoly of the early truck farming bust
ness, and as they always have ready
and good market they ought to gel
handsome returns from their farms.
