down the brush which springs up when

fertile than any other known fertilizer,
they ponrish by their flesl and clothe

The following bit vt information is
clipned from the City Item:
On the coast the potato crop was al
most failure. In Lafonrcle the crop
was fair, though the yield was not as
cool as that of last year, the increase
in acreage mere than covered the differ
enre in the yield.
Prices were not rs good as for the pre-
vinus year the crop selling, it is estimat-
ed. ut 90 Is per barrel
The following are the receipts of the
two largest receivers from the Lafour-
che.
Frank Barker-46.00O sacks potatoes
and 1850 sacks nuinns.
A. j. Laearde & Co.-24,764 sacks po-
tatoes and ii 242 sacks onions.
The onion crop was fair, with gn0d
prices only at the beginning and end Of
the season. The bulk of the crop was
not sold at satisfactory rates the price
at one time being as low as $1.40 per
barrel. The garlic crop vas heavy hut
did not meet with good demand. and
it was not, as it usually 10, profitable
crnD.
There ia no way Of giving the exact
amount of the Lpnisiana onion and p0-
tato crops, but from data obtained We
think an approximate estimate would
he 100. 900 barrels of potatoes and 65 600
barrels of onions.
