was the rest storehouse of this country, he was haPPT a

circles, but lately it extended to the agricultural inters!,
of the country. Some there were who seemed to think

days of brisk trade and high prices would never return- ,e.

On the subject of the potato crop The Times has pubished
the following letter:—
Sir,—.Will you allow me space in your columns for
a few remarks respecting the potato crop, which will
again this year prove a failure all over England?
The failure of the potato crop year after year entails,
of course, heavy loss on the labourers who grow pota-
toes and little else both in their allotments and
gardens, hoping to insure a crop heavy enough to
provide for the home consumption of themselves and
their families during the winter. I need not enlarge
here on how potatoes form a part, and often the
principal part, of our labourers' dinner most days of the
week; the question, therefore, of diseased or non-
diseased potatoes is to them a vital one. Potato-growing
is, however, neither a mystery nor smatter of chance. To
insure successful crops, you must observe several plain
rules. the most obvious and important of which is to plant
only from perfect and tin d iseaaed potatoes; but this is not
the practice of our labourers. It therefore re-
quires no prophet to foretell the yearly recurrence
of the failure of the potato crop and the consequent
increase of the disease. The labourer chooses from his
darcaged crop the few sound potatoes to save for his
winter consumption; the second best only (and that
means potatoes which are already touched) are reserved
for seed; the worst are boiled for the pigs. Every year,
therefore, damaged potatoes being planted, matters
grow worse, and we have to import more from abroad.
The Economist of some weeks back gave some interest-
ing statistics about the money paid last year for foreign
potatoes. I feel convinced, and I know many eminent
farmers and agriculturists think the same, that nothing
effectual can be done unless the Government take the
matter up and appoint a Commission to investigate
affairs. Much might be done by the introduction
of sound foreign potatoes, depots for the sale of which
for seed could be established in our county towns and
other agricultural centres; and I also venture to
suggest that science might be called in to aid with the
microscope in the detection and elimination of all
germs of the disease, and do for potatoes what has
been already so successfully done for pedigree wheat.
Experiments in this direction have been made, and
successfully, I am told, in the north of Ireland.
Sound, healthy potatoes are obtainable in other coun-
tries. Mr. Caird mentions the fineness of those grown
in India, and speaks of their entire immunity from
disease; but a Commission would decide on this and
all other matters pertaining to this scheme.
Earnestly recommending this question to the atten-
tion of your readers, I remain, Sir, yours obediently,
THE WIFE OF A WILTSHIRE LANDOWNER.
