grass, Sorghum, natal grass, rice and 
peas combined, field corn (of which 
the Mexican June has proven the best) 
have all been tried here and have prov¬ 
en a success. 
In addition to planting the above as 
follow-up crops, many meadows and 
permanent pastures will be planted, 
and, as elsewhere in the State, the farm¬ 
ers of this locality are planning to make 
vegetable growing a success by rais¬ 
ing the necessities which have been 
shipped to us in the past, without 
which vegetable growing as a business 
will be a more or less hazardous under¬ 
taking. While by combining with such 
crops as can be raised during the sum¬ 
mer it not only becomes very profit¬ 
able, but, to me at least, most pleasure- 
able. 
The East Coast is being rapidly set¬ 
tled by an intelligent class of people, 
from East, West, North and South, 
who are making beautiful homes and 
are bringing new ideas and business 
methods with them, which is acting as 
a tonic on “us Crackers,” and will re¬ 
sult'in great good. We welcome them 
and gladly co-operate with them in 
making vegetable growing a profitable 
occupation.
