The BLACK Hills Turn Out New
Crop.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. d., Sept. S.-There
are scores of farmers in the valleys of
the Black Hills who will this year make
comfortable fortunes from their crops of
potatoes alone. Heretofore trainoad
after trainload Of potatoes have been
shipped into the hills. but this year the
reverse Will be the case. TO secure this
large traffic the railroads entering the
Black Hills have reduced temporarily
their freight rates on potatoes to outside
points. One of the lucky farmers is
George Welge, of Centennial valley.
He has tifty-two acres of potatoes.
which are very fine, his yield being
over 800 bushels to the acre. This will
give him about 10000 bushels. for which
he Will find ready market at 80 cents
per bushel. Thus it will be seen that
his revenue from this years crop of
potatoes will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000, with comparatively little ex-
peuse. The Black Hills produce the
finest potatoes III the world.

POTATOES AS A CROP.
A Screven County Farmer Who Finds
Them Profitable.

Them Profitable.
Sylvania, Ga, Nov. 15.-Mr. John o.
Mathews of Haides, in this county, is
perhaps one of the largest and most
successful potato growers in Georgia.
He pays special attention to this par
ticular crop and never makes a failure
Besides saving all that he needs for
home consumption, giving away large
quantities to his neighbOrs, newspaper
editors and others, and selling hundreds
of bushels in various portions of the
state, he fattens large droves of hogs
every year in a field that he plants ex-
clusively for his swine, and from which
he never digs a potato. They make
splendid food for hogs and Mr.. Mathews
thinks it is the cheapest way of fatten-
ing them.
This year he had four or five acres
planted in potatoes and has raised the
largest ever seen in the county. In one
patch of an acre and a half the potatoes
from this field alone he will probably
gather a thousand bushels. His dwelling
is already almost completely surrounded
and barricaded with potato banks
where he is storing his crop away as he
gathers it, and in going up to his home it
is a unique and novel sight to ride through
this long line of conical shaped mounds
of uniform size. TO a man who believes
in the principle of "living at home" it
is inspiring, after viewing these banks of
plenty, to then walk over to Mr.. Mathews
two acre field that he plants for the
use of his hogs, and there gaze upon the
immense herds of large and fattening
"porkers" scattered up and down the
rows, and all feasting. Mr.. Mathews
says there is more to be made at planting
potatoes and raising hogs than in throw
ing away both time and money on cot
ton
