Baton Rouge Truth.

Baton Rouge Truth.
A crop that will come in early and
sell for cash is much needed in this
State and throughout the South under
present conditions. Many efforts and
experiments have been put forth in this
direction with varying results.
We were informed by friend over
the river the other day, upon inquiry,
that his potato crop last spring was cut
off one-half, or only showed up with rs
barrels. per acre and sold at $5 per bar
rel, or $125 per acre, and $G25O for the
crop of fifty acres. Our friend seemed
half sad that he had been cut down to a
half crop, but we have seen many sad
der farmers this year than he, and ex-
pect to see. many more before crops
come in again.
Now, this teaches all Of us a lesson
the merchant aud banker included.
We know cotton does not pay a profit
on cultivation, and yet we hold to it
because, as we have always said, it is
cash crop aud we must have some cash.
Let our farmers consider potatoes
and other crops they can raise, much of
which can be fed and consumed at a
profit at home in case the market is
glntted, and let them go to work.
When we say go to work we do not
mean in the old groove and in the hum
drum, hapless life they have been liv-
ing, but with stimulus backed by rea-
son and reasonable calculations.
