sauce, which looks and tastes a
great deal like berries; i'm fact, it
lis superior in flavor to strawberries
and raspberries Rhubarb lis exten-
sively used for the making of ex-
cellent pies and sauces, while it has
a certain definite medicinal value,
being highly esteemed as spring
tonic.
The Louisiana rhubarb, like so
many other plants produced i'm this
state, yields more abundantly than
the northern varieties. It is a per
petua1 and rapid grower, forming
new crowns as soon as the old are
plucked. The average plant will
yield a dozen or more mark ketabIe
stalks. An acre of rhubarb should
easily net from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year, when properly grown and mar
keted.
With the fac ilities for canning Of
sfered by the plant now being put
in at New Hermitage, it is ex-
8pected that the growing of this
vegetable will prove more profitable
than any that have been tried out
SO far.
To demonstrate Louisiana's S ex-
treme possibilities as corn produc-
ing state, twenty acres have been
planted in a variety of corn specially
selected for hardness, prolificness
and adaptabiIity to. prevailing con-
ditions. Intelligent effort along the
line of experimenting with high-bred
varieties of seeds of various crops is
conceded to be the most successful
feature of profitable farming at the
present time, and the New Hermi-
tage" owners are to be commended
for their gressiveness along this
line
