brought to the Office Saturday a
sample of his fall crop of turnlps
and Irish potatoes. They were
the largest we have seen yet. Both
crops were grown on same ground
With such crops as this it shows
that Marion county land can pro.
duce as fine crops as any section of

plenty OF turnips and potatoes as
Mr.. Smith did the short cotton
