PoTAroEs.-From year 10 year we have
carefully chronicIed tho appearance of the po-
,ato crop as it approached the season of ma,ur.
ily We have this year made many inquiries
of our farmers. and they uniformly state that
the tuber. of this crop are more numerous and
agreeable than q. any time since the peculiar
decay, which has Of late years proved so des.
iruc've, first began; and no more signs of un-
soundness are exhibited than were known in
the "palmiest" and mealiest days of this vaIua-
bic esculen,. For many years We have had
extremely wet weather when tho potato was
in the most critical period of its growth. This
has undoubtedly contributed very greatly TO
their decay, if it has not been the cause. This
year The weather has been peculiarly favorable
the roofs having never been more than suffi-
cien,Iy moistened. We apprehend this is the
true reason of the change, although from the
Of tho former loss, il may be fully
inferred ,ha, the disease had its origin in some
unknown atmospheric phenomenon. Hereaf.
Ter the year Of tho Cholera will probably be re-
as the year when the crop recov-
cred ito ancient vigor and excellence.
