Mr.. EDITOR,
Our Agricultural productions andre
sources being subject of interest to the
country, take the liberty of offering
through your columns an account OF
such articles rs have been brought in,
since those noticed by you few weeks
since.
have received from Sylvester Petit
bone, Esq. two turnips, (Ruta Baga.)
one weighing twenty-five pounds, and
the other twenty-three and half lbs.
Also 60 potatoes weighing 6s lbs. l2
ounces, the heaviest ten Of which
weighed l3 lbs. and l2 ounces Also,
a carrot Is inches in length, which de-
monstrates the depth, as well as rich
ness of our soil. These were produ-
ced at Prairie Village, on sward ground,
broke up last spring only, and | am
assured by Mr.. r. that they were not
hoed during the season, or in his own
language, ga hoe was never in the
field, not even to dig them; as they
were dug with a shovel.'
| also, received from farm Of Mr..
Douglass, on Kinnickinnic, Turnip,
common Engiish,) measusuring one
foot ten inches round and weighing
and half lbs. Also radish, foot,
2 inches round, weighing lbs. oun-
ces: comnonploughing and cultivation.
Also, from Mr.. Isham Day, three
miles above town, on the Milwaukee
River, ten potatoes weighing IA lbs. !!
full weight, Though from one Of them
a piece equal to about two ounces had
been cut off by accident in digging.
These were planted as Mr.. Day said
!" along in June" with silent cultiva-
ton I; but as will readily be perceived,
they came to full maturity.
Can our sister Of Dubuque exceed
these specimens? we throw down the
glove at her feet.
With little more mature cultiya-
ton, which one or two years will eff
feet, our climate and soil will pro-
duce in abundance and quality, equal
to any portion Of the ,0est, and the
west can beat the world.
Very respectfully, yours,
