Ir,sl, Potas.,es.


wise things in the Timpson Times
for the benefit of his brother farm
ers has the following on the Irish
potato crop in east Texas, says the
Beaumont Enterprise in a recent
issue.
"The growing of potatoes for
the northern markets seems to be
superseding all other truck crops
in some localities, and no doubt it
beats that quarter bale of cotton
to the acre racket out of sight.
But the potato proposition as a
whole looks like this: We first
buy our seed from the north at
about $3.50 per barrel. We ship
our crop back north, realizing 80
cents to Is cents per busbel.
Our shipping season covers about
three or four weeks. The balance
of the year we import potatoes
from other sections which cost the
eating public $3.50 to ~ per BUSH
lei. There are more potatoes ship
ped in than there is shipped oct
of east Texas and at double the
price. Now we pumpkin headed
farmers are not supposed to see a
dollar without looking at it all day,
but it seems to me the shrewd
business man and speculator, who
is ever ON the alert to take advan-
tage of the weakness of the farmer
should have seen this dollar ere
this. If cold storage was provided
for our potatoes, as is done in the
north for the potatoes sent back to
us, every potato raised in east Tex
as would be consumed at home
and some one would make profit
of not less than 80 cents bushel.
1t is better for local spectators
to get the farmers money than to
send it clear out of the country.
But it would be far better for the
farmers themselves to join together
aud provide cold storage for their
crops and save this profit for them
selves. Anywhere there is an ice
plant cold storage could be pro-
vided'cheaply."
4 The idea advanced here is good
one and may well be tried. Dur
ing the past week there was shown
lin Beaumont moving picture
show film illustrating English
methods of farming. Among the
; others was the care of the Irish
potato until it was needed for the
market, and so vivid was it in every
detail that it should have beer
