CROPS GROW
With YEARS
Los Fresnos Farm
May Give Record
'Spud Crop

IF the weather conditions con-
tinue to be as favorable as they
have been, the present record Of
around $50 bushels OF potatoes per
acre will be broken" Cleve Tandy
said Saturday.
The record viii be broken within
two weeks, he predicted.
On the two large Tandy farms
near Los Fresnos, an average yield
of 225 bushels per acre is expected.
On the farm operated by Leon
Hinkley, the average yield last week
was approximately 2ss.6s per acre,
and Is expected TO 60 slightly over
300 this week. The farm managed
by Nap Chatelle Is showing an ex-
cellent yield per acre.
Increase Shown
We have shown q decided aver
age increase In yield per acre over
last year" Mr.. Tandy continued.
"On the Chatelle farm last year, the
average was 2l2 bushels per acre.
On the Hinkley acreage IL wac 1873
bushels. This year both farms have
shown around 225 to ITS"
The Tandy's have been expert
merting for several years, and give
full credit for the increased yield
to the work that has been done to
the soil.
The planting OF cow-peaS and
the extensive use OF commercial fer
t%ilizer, were features that aided in
the increase. Also, deep tillage and
"chlseling" were dominant factors.
6-Year Experiment
we have been doing experiment
al work for 8 years, and the results
are so satisfactory that we will
continue to handle the soil as we
did this year. We believe that ve
have found the correct method
Year by year the yield per acre
has increased, he added.
Cabbage. potatoes, and cotton are
the crops grown on the Hinkley and
Chatelle farms.
On the soil treated as outlined
by Mr.. Tandy, an average of between
8 to 10 tons OF cabbage were crown
this year, netting from $40 to SIS
per ton.

trampled the women and children

The fire started when a breeze

The structure was 100 years old,
