SURE PROFIT FOR FARMERS.
Analysis Of What Can Be Done on q
Small ACREAGE Locality

| The way to make high priced land
| bring a profitable return. is to raise
canning produce The possibilities to
be realized from growing truck crops
are very great. Ask those who have
made q speciality of growing these
crops
F., The man who has ten or twenty
acres can be Independent Of all labor
questions. We offer to consume such
variety of crops that he can handle
each in their turn without additional
outside labor. The planting and culti-
walton of corn comes first. then fol-
lowed by the setting and cultivation of
tomatoes After both of these crops
are well under way. cahba sc setting
begins In the harvesting of these
crops corn comes first. followed with
toma toes and then later with cabbage.
Anyone with twenty acres could profit
ably grow the following crops as out
lined:
Ten acres Of corn.
Ten acres Of pumpkins in corn.
Five acres of cabbage.
Five acres of tomatoes.
! The returns to he-sxpected would be
as follows:
s5 tons of cbrn.at. sHaa peg ton. s245- 90
| % tons pumpkin atasSSo per ton $3.50
| 40 tons cabbage at $500 per ton $4,000
80 tons tomatoes at 10 per ton 10000
Revenue from above ........ $3.50
This would represent return of
s4:62 perAAcre, OF almost 20 per cent
on $4,000 an acrs land. The estimates
given are not theoretical, but yields
have actually been made year after
year by some of our growers. The
prices paid this season by our factory
are as given above with the addition
of hominy corn at 20 cents per bushel.
