vation OF vegetables and fruit. and
the result has been SO satisfactory
that there appears a great disposition
to largely develop this branch Of
industry. The cultivation of Irish
potatoes is drawing attention as Two
crops can be raised in one year
first crop can be planted as early a.
December and February and mature
in May and juno and plant again IN
Jnnesnd July for tall crop. Early
vegetables are shipped from an ad-
joining county to this to the nsr-
thern markets and the producers re-
alize from $50 to 100 per acre. Wild
fruits in abundance straw berriea.
black berries BY tho million, grapes
persinmons and many others.
COTTON AND CORN.
The great error OF the people o. this
county is they raise too much corn and
cotton. Cotton was at one time king
ana those who prv0uced the fleec7 sts-
pie owned large bodies Of land and
droves of mules, and negroes and were
called planters; and the custom OF the
country was cotton anc xil southern
farmers and their hands were educated
70 tn's one industrv-she negro under
stands mules and the production Of the
neecy staple and still banker after this
one crop. There are large bodies OF
land now lying idle that were once
yielding the owners large profit and
some of them have not been cultivated
for the last thirtv years.
