THE PLANTING SEASON.

The copiuus showers of rain since last Sab
bath have opened the season for active bust
mss umUng Agriculturists. Vegetation in the
mean time, has progressed with almost unex-
ampled rapidity. r---/
Previous to thupast week Of WYNN weather
and showers, large quantities Of potatoes had
been plNnted--H quantity far beyond what
has ever been put in in one season. by tho
farmers in this vicinity. Never before have
we seen 30 much lAud 4urned up at so carly
a day as can now be seen by looking over
the farms in the neighborhood Much of IL
has been planted with potatoes. We hear
otfarmers who have planted or are intending
10 plant 10 or 10 acres of potatoes. The
high price obtained tho paet season, has
served to encourage large expectations for
future in reference 10 this crop. Should the
rot prevail down country Al IL did the past
season &our section remain comparatively free
from it, these hopes will undoubtedly be real-
lied. In no view of tho case can there be
treat loss upon tho production of potatoes.
The Starch factories seldom fail 10 take them
at remunerative prices. We hear of con
trace mAdc .at 30 cents a huEiel, OF tAe-sse.t
coop, delivered at the Depot here. Large
profits can be realized from the cultivation
of potatoes at this rate.
