Russian Army Seems !
To Be Surrounds
Irwin County Soil.

AS an instance of what can be
done with Irwin county and
colony lands we give below some
figures furnished by Mr.. S. G..
Pryor, who. has little over five
acres planted in sweet potatoes,
choice variety the Pryor
YAM" In addition to the five
acre patch he has one tenth of an
acre, to be exact eleven
rows, 81 feet apart, 43 yards
long from which he has sold 10
bushels at ST. 80 per bushel and
Is bushels. at ST. per bushel,
money already in hand, with the
prospect of about 20 bushels
more worth $40 or SIS, say $40
from one tenth of an acre or
$500 per acre. The FIVE acre
patch is almost as good. Mr..
Pryor has a plan that some of
his neighbors may profit by. He
says that an acreage large enough
to guarantee car load shipments
will guarantee net price of about
81 per bushe1, if an early variety
like the Pryor yam, is planted,
which begins to make in June.
His idea is to ship only select
potatoes Grated as fruits and
vegetables.
There is not the same danger
of rot and decay that attend
most other vegetables. The
market is practically unlimited.
To do this successfully, and to
interest reliable commission
houses two or three hundred
acres should be planted. Pota.
toes is one of the surest, safest
crops known to this section.
Mr.. Pryor is ready and anxious
to give any data or information
and furnish the excellent seed
he uses at reasonable prices.
He promises to give the result of
his five acre crop, whether a
success or not, which will be
about the middle of November.
The Enterprise wants TO see Mr..
Pryor's idea carried out.
