6 THE OF PLANTING IRISH PoTAToEs--An old and
successful cuyator of Irish potatoes in this neigh
borbood is of the opinion that the late crop of poa
toes ought to be planted between the 10th and 10Th of
May. He thinks they can be kept clear of grass
more readily than the early potatoes, and that they
generally meet with copous showers Of rain IN Au-
gust when they require it, The general practice
in this immediate neighborhood is to plant IN March
or early IN April when the season is favorable.
