Sweet Potatoes to the Front

Whenever the people of Natchitoches
speak or think Of their most public
spirited citizens, MFR. u c. scarbor-
ough is among the very first who comes
to mind as he is always ready and will
ing and takes a leading part in any and
every thing that tends to the upbulld-
ing of Natchitoches Parish or is helpful
TO its people.
And with this spirit that characteries
him, he has recently made an offer that
will develop an industry among our
boys that can make them as famous as
did the first corn clubs rank Stephen
Henry as the champion boy corn grower
of America.
Planting time for sweet potatoes is
near and this delicious food stuff IS not
only very nourishing but yields a most
profitable crop of always marketable
vegetables, and so Mr.. Scarborough
anxious to promote this industry offers
a prize of 1000 to each one of the first
ten boys clubs that yield the most
bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre,
The only requirements are that the
minimum number of boys in the club
must be five, and the date Of organize
ton with members names must be sent
to Supt. Hudson who will keep the
records.
Get busy boys all over our fair parish,
where the sweetest and best potatoes
in the State can be raised, and The En-
terprise offers its columns to all the
clubs that wish to publish their organi-
cation and every thing of interest In
connection with same.
