And all of this was made from not over three thousand acres of laud. Think of It! ?The blggent show place of the whole truck region was the farm of Mr. W. It Eye, J?r. Mr. Eve is a young man. He came to 1 teaufort a little over a year ago on account of his health. Ill February, 1010, a Mr. Benton wanted to >,.|l ids truck fa An, on which he had a tine crop of lettuce growing. Mr. I teuton had held his farm for $50, ooo, hut for some reason he wanted to sell quick. and acivpted an offer of $.10,000 for the farm from Mr. Eve. There are seventy five acres In the place,, thirty acre* of It having a sys tem of overhead irrigation. This over haul irrigation comes from a system of pi|H's, lead pljH's three-quarters of au Inch in diameter set on |K?le* about every six feet. Think of such a sys { iciu over thirty acres of land! Well, It's there all right, ami Mr. Eve had the water turned on so that the news pa|Air jieople could stv liinv It worked, j and liad a negru jwlth a big pii>e wrench go and reverse the pipes so that the water would flow on the opposite side from that on which it tirst started. In this way the wlioh1 ground was watered. This change is made every three hours when tho plants are being . watered. Well, the bin feature of this Eve farm is that .Mr. Eve bought It a little over a year ayo for #10.000 and within ninety days he had sold over $.'10,000 worth of let tuce from the farm. That's farming I some. Tliis year he has done even better, tjiough the lettuce was practi cally all killed. When we were up at : his place he' had finished shipping Irish, i >o hi toes and was busy with cu cumbers and tomatoes. By the way, everybody refers to cucumbers as ' "cukes" and they do not eat them down there: they ship them. One good old man up around Hampton told the writer that he had great pleasure in crowing and shipping "cukes". He was a Confederate veteran. He said every time he packed a "cuke" in a crate he said to himself, "iphere goes a dead Yankee." This suggests an other witty bit of repartee heard in Beaufort. Irish ]H>tatoes were at their highest this year, bringing from ten to twelve dollars a barrel. One very old L'ciitleinen. a Northern man. who had <cttlod in Beaufort, remarked one day this spring to a native citizen. "Well, didn't we Yankees whip you to a frazzle, though." saying it with a laugh. without meaning anything but just a passing remark, as it were. This native citizen mine back with this. "Yes. but aren't we making you Yankees pay for Irish potatoes this year." And it made a hearty laugh all around. "The >casoii just ended was the best the growers have ever had. They missed it ou lettuce, but they made up on Irish )M>tatoes. As one man put it. the yield was the best ever and the price rhe highest known, so that the combination was most fortunate for the growers."
