a Plain. Sensible Talk.

In the course of letter from our valued friend, Maj. NE .Cheairs. form erly of this county but now ufSpring IIill, Tenn, the following kindly words and sensible suggestions found utter ance:
 Please accept my kind regards and best wishes for the success and pros- perity of your valuable paper. 1 learn through it's columns that your canning industry has changed it's management, and am glad to see 1t in the hands of men of capital, brains, influence and energy. All that is needed to make 1t d grand success is for the gardeners and farmers to produce d Sufficiency of vegetables, fruits and berries to keep it in operation. This they can easily do and at good paying prlces and with but little interference with their staple crops. Arkansas has the climate and soil we'll adapted to truck farming. aud why some of her progressive. energetic farmers don't engage III It Is a mystery, especially when they have d good home market for all they can produce. The foolish practice of raising all cotton and depending on the merchants for all supplies. making their storehouses both Smokehouse and corn crib, and, might add. machine and implement factory in the towns, has well nigh bankrupted the county, or at least the farming interest of the state; hence it is high time they should call halt and turn their attention to something else besides cotton. Why is it that some of the farmers who have lands suita- ble tand there is any amount of it ill St. Francis county do not engage i'll
 potato culturey It certainly is more profitable and costs lest to produce. be- sides two crops a year on the same land can be raised. and the second crop is not nfreQuently more profitable than | the first It is from the second crop that the potato raiser gets his seed and sells his surplus from two to five dollars barrel. My friend, w. $. Graham. and others adjoining him. 1 have several hundred acres of potato l lands that would produce from forty to seveuty-five barrels per acre, winch | they could put on the market from the 1 Ist to the 18th of June which would in- sure them good price for all that could be produced and delivered at the depot at those dates They need have
 no fears about a market. All they
 would have to do would be to let it be known the country was raising pota- toes. and buyers by tue score would hunt them up. Potato raising is no
 humbug, neither is 1t hard or expen-
 sive crop after the first year. To get
 the necessary machinery and imple-
 ments to successfully plant, cultivate
 and harvest a crop is d little expensive.
 After that the expenses are merely
 nominal compared to cotton crop.
 1 have tried both and speak wherof
 know. Very truly yours.
