Washington was essentially
man of business after he ceased to
be colonial soldier. Mt. Vernon
had ten miles of water front, most
of which, as the owner told cor

seine was hauled and the gill nets
and purse nets were tended by the
slaves, but we may be sure from
Washington's habits that he often

the name of Washington stamped
upon the barrel passed without In
spection in British West Indian
ports. Washington had great tobac-
co barns, such as today show their
gray shingles on the slopes as one
sails the Potomac, and he shipped
his tobacco in just such hogsheads
as are shipped to-day from half
hundred ports on the Potomac ana
its tributaries. These hogsheads are
no longer trundled directly upon thelr
own slaves over roads impracticable
for wheeled vehicles, but they are
still made with perpendicular, un-
bossed sides, just as they were IN
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen

THE world well knows the steps
that converted the well content and
loyal colonial magnate OF li6o, VINO

tinued good relations with the moth

1775 and the next eight years. All
through the revolutionary struggle
Washington kept himself informed
of the doings at Mt. Vernon, and he
returned to it at the close of the war
determined to resume his old occu-
nations. His dissipations as COLO

Belvoir and other neighboring plan
tations and an occasional visit with
Mrs. Washington to the gay little
state capital at Annapolis, whlther
the bellies of Maryland were accus-

their hoops looped up somehow. In

Low Price of Rice Don't worry
THIS Farmer

Mr.. AL Fruge, living near wood
lawn, was transacting business IN
Welsh "Wednesday. While Mr. troge
raised forty-tve acres of rice, he is
not loOsiny any sleep about the price
of that cereal. Besides his rice Mr..
Fruge has two acres Of sweet potatoes
that will brius him in the neighbour
hood of $4,000. He raised 225 bar
rels of corn on / acres, which Will
bring him 1925 90. He sold 800. W
worth of watermelOns from II acres,
he also has a "patch" of cane, that
will make him in the neighborhood OF
a hundred gallons of syrup. Besides
this he raises plenty of garden truck
for the family, and keeps chickens,
hogs and few COWS, SO that he al
ways has butter, eggs, chickens, and
hog meat for his family and q little
to sell. A few more diversitiers OF
this sort will have great tendency
as to help settle the financial problem
tha at is confronting number OF plant
ers at the present time.

Wealth In Broom Straw.

The trade announcement that the
price of broOms has again gone up
should prove of interest in this Sec
ton, where it is proved that broom
corn can be raised. There is ample
opportunity, both for the raising OF
broom corn and the making of brooms
here, and with corn selling at $500 a
ton profit will come to the farmer who
raises a trst-class article of corn
next year. Broom corn is the one
thing that has never been fitting
substitute found for. and it is prob
able that there never will be, so that
there will be market for broom corn
so long as people use brooms.
This is one OF the agricultural pro-
ducts that should receive more atten.
ton in this section, and will prove az
aid in the great problem of diversih'
cation that now confronts the farmer
of the gulf coast.-Beaumont Enter;
