J. J. Frnka left yesterday
morning for a three months’ visit
to his old home in Bohemia. He
went from here to New York,
where he will spend several days
in business matters and sightsee-
ing. Thence he will proceed by
steamer to Europe, and to his old
home at Roznau, Moravia. Mr.

of our Bohemian readers who
were born in the old country.

Failure to report a reduction I

carry an error last week and this,/
in the market report. In im-

cream, together with the market-
ing down South of enormous
quantities of cold storage butter,
has forced the price of cream
down to a very low figure. It
still, however, about twice the
price of country butter, which is,
indeed, hard to sell at any price.

STAR HILL
BY K.
May 15.—Our hall was not
crowded on the night of the
dance—the 13th, but considering
condition of the roads, there was
a fair attendance, and those pres-
ent enjoyed the occasion. We
will have another dance on June
3rd, and hope for better wTeather.
Everybody invited; especially
The Enterprise.

GOOD POTATO YIELD
Last Spring Mrs. Christ. Andreas planted three sacks, 8
bushels of triumph potatoes on less than an acre of land.
Some barnyard fertilizer was used, but lack of time—she is a
widow with only her children to work in the field—prevented
anything extra in cultivation. Recent rains compelled digging
before the crop had reached full maturity. But she sold 75
sacks, 116 bushels, which netted $88.95 after payment for sacks
and 5 per cent for commission for handling and selling. The
ground was cleared of this crop in time to plant another, of
corn, cotton or peas.
The editor of The Enterprise, who as a farmer doesn’t
amount to much, planted about onethird of a bushel of Tri-
umph potatoes in some very hard black land, about 22 by 30
f&et. Two rows were shaded by a neighbor’s cowshed and
failed to make more than seed. For reason that rains pre-
vented work at proper times (and being tired or lazy, he was
gl|ad of it) the crop was worked out but once. But after feed-
ing a healthy family of three for nearly a month, at digging
tii^e he got three bushels. At this rate of yield, an acre of this
unsuitable land would have given 164 bushels.
Lettuce profitable crop
IjOn a little backyard piece of poor Sandy land, W. F. Hot-
ann planted lettuce about 3o by 3o feet, less than one-twen-
eth of an acre. Besides supplying the family while in season,
lipmcnts to Dallas from this little spot netted over $10.00.
n acre sold at same prices would have yielded over $200.00.
his crop occupied the ground less than three months.
