 Mr. B. F. Post brought to our office Monday very fine specimens of sweet potato 
and ribbon sugar cane. The potato was raised by Mr. H. H. Rockett, and Mr. Post says
it weighted eight pounds when dug. The cane was grown by Mr. G. W. Bruton, Jr., and 
the sample sent us was fully nine feet tall. Union parish this year has certainly 
tried to overdo herself in the way of bountiful crops of all kinds.
