the smartest of all farm ideas, and
it may be summarized as follows:

yield cash cotton crop.
Another profitable money crop

fled seed of standard staple. The
term "pedigreed" usually used in
connection with the sale of cotton
seed is sometimes misunderstood by
many farmers. Seed may be “pedi-
greed" seed and then be very poor
planting seed. The pedigree of seed
refers only to the history of their
origin and that history may be
good or bad. Many farmers look
upon the term “pedigreed" as an
emblem of quality, but that is not
true.

Tomatoes hold forth an alluring
challenge to the farmers of Van
, Zandt county. Two acres of toma-
) toes on each of the 5300 farms in
the county, would bring in more
money than the average county cot-
ton crop.
Van Zandt founty farmers are
fortunate that a good tomato mar-
ket has already been established
here. Many farmers from the ad-
joining counties have expressed ap-
preciation of that, and dozens of
them are searching our county
daily for farms which they can
rent. These farmers are smarter
than many who have lived at the
doorway of this market for four
years and have not grown toma-
toes.
Tomatoes, green and dry cream
and blackeyed peas, sweet potatoes,
irish potatoes, snap beans, cucum-
bers, turnips and popcorn are
among the best cash crops for this
locality. We have a neighbor, who,
while others have stood by and
said potatoes were too cheap, has
taken in $60 per acre on irish po-
tatoes after the fertilizer bill was
paid, for three years straight: Altho
the price received has been around
$1.00 per hundred, this crop has
paid well and this smart farmer
