In conversation with one of our
farmers this week we learned that he
had been marketing irish potatoes at
the handsome price of $500 and $3.50
per bushel. He also stated that his
potatoes produced well this year and
that he was only sorry that he did not
plant more. 1t was no trouble for him
TO find market because the demand
was much greater than the supply.
which has been the case for the past
few years, il not for several years
past On the other hand we inquired
Of another farmer how many bushels
Of potatoes he sold and he replied that
he did not have time to raise potatoes
because he was too busy with his cot
ton crop.
The cotton crop this year is far be-
,Jw the average and the market up
to date, is bad, consequently the farm
er who has failed to raise enough po-
tatOes, corn, ETC., to supply his own
demands, saying nothing Of what he
might have marketed, has been the
loser. If he had left off one acre of
:sOttOn and cultivated one acre of pc.
I.tatOes, both his pocket book and food
supply would have been in much better
shape. But still We cannot let any.
thing interfere with cotton, but on the
other hand we will let cotton interfere
with everything else.
We wish to call your attention tC
the unlimited market for poultry and
eggs. Eggs are selling at premium
and it is practically impossible to buy
an old hen. The price Of eggs and
chickens at this time Of the year, wher
really they should be plentiful, is al
most out of reason. There are a mum
Der of other things that you can al
ways find a market for that you car
raise on small scale and not only fec
your family, but make a good profit.
Suppose we raise a different crop
and il the season and the market il
not favorable for cotton, possibly i
will be favorable for something else
and we will have source of revenue a
a time when it is needed most.
| There is and will be q market her
for potatoes, tomatoes, canteloupes
watermelons, Strawberries, chickens
|h0gs, cattle, etc.

The primary election Is only few
days off, when the people must vote
upon whom they will have to serve il
the several parish, district and state
Offices during the coming term. We
have good men out for the various
Offices, and 1t is up to the voter to de-
eide upon who is the best fitted to
serve the best interests of the people
as q whole. In the last primary there
was some confusion which arose on
account Of duplicate returns not be-
Ing made both to the Secretary Of
State and to the Secretary Of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee. 1t is very
necessary that duplicate returns be
made, In order that no confusion may
arise from any cause, and 1t Is our
opinion that provision is made In our
primary election laws for election re.
turns beng handled In this manner.

there is a market on the broad quay

Oregon apples, which contrive. in spite
of distance and almost prohlbitive
rates of exchange, to cross the SIX

A well-planted home yard shou'a
provide for the following ornamental
features: The yard should be joined
to the street by the planting OF low
growing shrubs at the walk intersec-
tons and at the corners OF the lot
along the sidewalk.
These should all be low-growlns
shrubs such as Thunberg berries, snow
berries, Japan ounce, Nsa rugosa ana
golden bell. These when planted IN
groups. from three to five feet apart,
will give an informal treatment, and
where every home along the street
is planted in this way, the entire
street is given a boulevard appearance
If formal effect is desired along
the sidewalk, the treatment calls for
ne planting of a hedge. For this pur'
pose the Ibota privet, white mulberry
ThunderbOrs barberry or honeysuckle
marraiwfi should be used.

IMPROVING TIE HOME YARD
Low.Growine Shrubs at Walk Inter-
sections and Corners OF the Lot
Should Be Provided.

A well-planted home yard with
shade trees, Towering shrubs and per-
ennial flowers surely Is more valuable
and more enjoyable than barren, un'
slightly yard of weeds, ashes, tin cans
and rubbish. Perhaps the principal
reason why we find so many poorly I'M
proved home yards Is because a
lack of knowledge along these lines Is
eyerywhere apparent.
