could be said concerning this

asmuch as there is no time or
space for the article just now.
the writer will occupy his spare
time in referring to another
can house. The sweet potato-
crop was above the average and
many dollars have been real-
ized from the sale of this prod-
uct alone. The cane crop, too,
was bountiful, and every farm-
er who tried has ample syrup
for home consumption and
some to spare. In fact, thou-
sands of gallons have already
been disposed of right here in
Lufkin, some of it for cash,
some in payment of store ac-
’ counts, some in payment of doc-
tor bills, and so on down the
Line.
With such a showing as this
there is no wonder that the far-
mers of the county are optimis-
tic and feel that they have an-
chored safely in the best section
of the whole inhabitable globe.
During the past year they cer- ,
tainly struck the right trail, and ,

be mighty hard to turn them 1
