During the first months of his con-

And the people inside Of their

My father in raising this crop
raised 7l2 bales of cotton which they
were getting around one hundred
and some odd dollars for a bale at
that time. He raised and whipped out
800 pounds of crowder peas worth six
and eight dollars bushel at that
time in the seed store. He raised $50
bushels of sweet potatoes which they
were getting so cents a bushel, and
about 30 bushels of corn. Corn was
selling at that time about so cents
bushel. Then cucumbers. He raised
about three acres of cucumbers. !
don't remember how much he was
getting, but about rs cents hamper,
I think. And he also raised cain enuf
to get 1870 gallons Of cane syrup. He
was selling this cane syrup for 80
cents a gallon and then 1t went to
SIPS.
And this besides two gardens. he
raised one for himself and one for
the owner. At the end of the year
when this crop was finished he went
to the man for a settlement. Right
at the present time he couldn't give
him settlement because he claimed
the bookkeeper wasn't in. When the
bookkeeper did come and he caught
them together he asked him again
for a settlement. So they walked into
the office and they figured up, the
owner and the bookkeeper, and said
my father was $1,000 in debt--taking
his half of the crop and my fathers
half too.

There are very few men that will
