An Italian farmer near Plaquemine
this year marketed 80 bushels of
Irish potatoes per acre grown in be
tween rows of sugar cane, says the
Louisiana Planter. He planted one
row of potatoes between each two
rows of cane. ,Growing 6nly one-half
the plants possible, his potato crop
netted him $48 per acre, more than
enough to pay for the cultivation of
his cane crop. His cane looked bet
ter than that in near-by fields de
voted exclusively to cane culture. His
potato crop was grown during the six
iimonths between cane cutting and the
time when the succeeding cane crop
began to draw largely upon the soil
for sustenance.
Remember that money sent away
for goods you should buy at home
never returns, and goes toward en
riching another city instead of your
own.
