VEGETABLE CROP.
During the last fur years N ore
attention has been paid to the cult.
vation of vegetables and fruit, and
the result has been 30 satisfactory,
that thereappears 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 as
December and February and mature
in May and June and plant again ln|
June and July for fall crop. Early
vegetables are shipped from an ad-
joining county to this to the ner-
thern markets and the producers re-
alize from $50 to 100 per acre. Wild
fruits in abundance strawberries,
black berries by the million, grapes
perslmmons and many others.
COTTON AND CORN.
The great error OF the people OF this
county is they Iaise too much corn al q
cotton. Cotton was at ono time kjrg
and those who produced the fleecy sta
pie owned large bodies of land and
droves of mules and negroes ard were
called planters; and the custom OF the
country was cotton and ail southei n

land now lying ida that were once
yielding the owners a large profit and
/ some of them haye not been cultivated
for the last thirtv Yeas.
