Large Returns From One Acre

Mr.. E. B. Snipes, a well known
young farmer living a few miles
northwest of the city, in Center
vile township, has reaped a rich
harvest in dollars and cents from
one acre of land planted in cotton
and Irish potatoes. He picked $3.50
pounds of seed cotton, ginning
1884 pounds of lint, and IS bushels
of seed. From the potatoes he raised
he sold enough to net him $3.50.
The ground was laid off in rows,
two and a half feet apar,, ard
every ether row was planted in cot
ton, the same being applied in the
planting of the potatoes. The cotton
seed were lights prolific, and the
potatoes of Red Bliss variety. On
four acres, using the same kind of
seed, Mr.. Snipes made six bales OF
cotton.
There is demand fol- the seed
secured by Mr.. Snipes from the
cotton ginned, and he says he is
selling them at So per bushel fol-
planting purposes, so that what he
has realized from one acre will
probably reach new record in the
way Of successful crops.
