The Alexandria Town Talk, com
menting on the fact that the potato
crops in the Northern States has been
greatly cut off by the recent drouth,
says: "This year number Of farm
ers in the vicinity Of this city had
y few acres in Irish potatoes and sold
them here In Alexandria, clearing
from $50 to 800 per acre net. As the
spring potato crop is always gem
orally gathered in April or May in
this latitude, it does not interfere
with the cotton crop. In fact we
heard of one man who lives near
Alexandria making S75 per acre from
irish POTATOES, and then planting in
cotton, making over bale per acre
on the same land, worth $5O--in ali
$l25 all acre. When it is considered
that potatoes are shipped to the
amount of hundreds of thousands OF
barrels to this market from distant
States, this fact ought to stimulate
their production In Louisiana. The
early yields could be sent North
where they would bring good prices
provided they were placed in market
ahead Of competing supplies. The
home trade could afterwards be look
ed after.

A Canning Factory.

We have time and again urged
upon some of our energetic and en-
terprising citizens the advantages to
be derived and the profits to accrue
from the establishment of a canning
factory in Nathchez. 1t does not
require any great amount of capital
to start such concern, while the
profits are large and reasonably sure
if any care and discretian is used at
all in its management. The follow
ing item extracted from an exchange
shows to what an extent such an ia.
dustry may grow from even the
smallest beginning, which was really
inaugurated more as an eoonomical
measure than as one of q money
making character: at is said that
Il fruit grower in Abingdon, Va.
started small canning factory Il few
years ago to colsum the surplus on
his own farm, which at once sESN
into extensive proportion and proved
to be SO renunerative that now there
are seventeen other large canning
Adjustments in that county alone,
aud all making the business prolita-
bic. Why can't our citizens start
and establish such enterprises? How
ever small and Insignificant they
may seem, the outgrowth will be es-
tablished as long as there is the
least probability ofsusteDance. Make
the start, open the way and the desir-
ed results will be obtained.n There
will be, with so many Of our farmers
embarking in truck farming and fruit
raising, plenty of material here for
canning factory to work upon, and
we should like very much to see one
started in Natchez.-Natchez Demo-
