What Can be Raised.

We have received letter from .
farmer in Nebraska making several
inquiries, who wauts to know more
especially what we can plant in
Roseland and vicinity. In reply
The Herald would say that people
can plant most every thing here. %
Louisiana soil is very productive
Among the many things raised in
early spring are radishes, lettuce.
cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, Irish
potatoes. sweet potatoes, s;rawbeF-
ries, etc., which are shipped to far
away markets. There is also plant
ed and grown in large quantities,
cotton, sugar cane. rice and oats.
There il no month in the year but
something can be planted. II e
common to raise three crops in one
year, and to,a! failure was never
known. We have many advantages.
There lie lots Of timber and people
do not have to expend oil their
money for fuel for tue winter, ~
plenty of it can be had for the ask.
ing, going out and cutting it and
hauling it IN. We have but little
thin ice or severe cold weather.
The water il soft and pure. and in
abundance.
Roeeland's products are OF the
FIRST quality. and have an established
reputation in the Northern markets,
and OF late have been soaght sitter
by Eastern buyers.
Truckers here can raise . greater
variety Of crops successfully than in
any climate under the Gun. Any
enterprising man who has . few
hundred dollars u invest and wishes
10 settle down, can find no better
place. This locality is one nf the
healthiest in the SOutll-a case Of
yelluw fever has never been known

authorities, cannot exist in this
