Even with the Northwest.
Q.Would you judge that one-half the cultivated surface of Arkansas is made up of the larger plantations?
-- A.

No, sir; I should not say more than a third, as a rough estimate.
Q.Upon these plantations is there any crop raised for consumption anywhere but upon the plantations, save the cotton?
-- A.

Only in a very limited way.

We raise Irish potatoes for the northern markets, and it is an extremely profitable and productive crop with us.
Q.What is the home market price?
-- A.

We do not sell these potatoes at home at all.
