enough scale to ship their product
in carload lots to the North. "A
number Of people around" Lexing.
ton visited the potato growers at
Gleason and took all sorts of notes
on how to raise and keep the pota-
toes. but somehow there has been
made no effort to keep up the bust
ness here on any appreciable scale.
In fact, there does not seem to have
been grown any more sweet pota-
toes than necessary to supply the
local demand. 1t is our opinion
that potatoes can be grown and
cured very profitably at less than
a dollar a bushel by people who are
proud to make $4,000 on an acre Of
cotton. Our people continue to
farm on a mistaken idea in the
lone-run when they fail to diver
