SEED PorAroEs.-There is no crop the far
mer raises, that requires SO much seed, or
which costs so much to the acre at potatoes
ranging from eight to twenty bushels-the
difference being one quarter in large or
small seed; or lift takes Is bushels, which is
about the average of fair sized potatoes to
plant an acre, the same might be done with
four very small ones, making differen nee Of
twelve bushels-no small item at the present
price of so cents per bushel, which would be
six dollars in favor OF small seed in planting
one acre.
For six years, have planted both large
and small seed-sometimes from necessity
but have always noted the difference, which
has been. decidedly, in favor of large seed.
| will specify two cases. In the spring o
1918 l planted two acres of potatoes, por
ton of which was planted with small.
| Where planted large seed, had good pc
tatoes-the whole of them being in new
ground
The past season planted the same mum
Der OF acres, but reserved quarter of an acre
which planted with small seed, from the size
Of walnut up to that of a hens egg. Th'
result was as all former crops had been will
me, they were all small and worthless, be
sides being more affected by rot then wher
larger seed was used.
The difference in the vines was perceptibl
as far as my potato patch could be seen, thos
vines where planted small seed being no
half the length of the others, besides havinI
a slender and sickly appearance from the tim
they were out of the ground till they wer
harvested.

We have California dates Of March 18th
which represent the whole country to be in
q high state of prosperity. Every branch of
business appears to be carried on with great
energy and almost universal success. The
spirit for public improvements is raging to
IN extent that will at least keep California
fully up with the spirit Of the age, if she does
not compete with and outstrip many Of the
older states. They are altering and improving
their State Constitution; projecting and con-
structing Plank Roads, Railroads, Churches
and School houses, and in fact, public In
stitutions of every description which denote
advanced state of civilization. OF their
Schools, the Sacramento Union says:
Itcannot but be source of qualification
10 permanent citizens to notice the increase
of schools in their midst. The advertise
ments of three regular schools taught in
Sacramento, may be found in columns OF the
Union; and there may possibly be others not
brought to our notice. The stock OF children
to be sure, is not yet so large in California as
to REQUIRE any extensively multiplied number
of such institutions, but quite large enough
to afford patronage to those already estab-
lished. Among the first duties ofthe parent,
next to the improvement of child's morals,
is tho cultivation of its mind. The oppor-
tunities now afforded for that purpose are ex-
cellent: and it is hoped that those having
charge of the rising generation will feel the
full responsibility of their position, and avail
themselves of these opportunities.
The mines are being worked the present
season with far greater system, and uniform
success, than any previous year. Miners
have now quite feasible facilities of CON-
munication vita the produce markets, which
relieves much of the restitution and suffering
hitherto experienced by them. Murders and
robberies continue of frequent occurrence in
the mining regions. but the Legislature has
adopted q police system which it is hoPet
will meet the emergencies Of the case, ant
drive the marauding Land Pirates from thu
country. Several summary trials and exc
cutions have recently taken place on thu
Cosumnes river, since which, depreciation
have to a considerable extent subsidized.

ARRIVAL OF SIXTY PORTUGUESE Emf
cRAErs.-Yesterday morning some fifty or
sixty Portuguese refugees arrived here on the
rhos. Swami, from Wheeling. They are
the party of prosecuted Christians who sought
refuge in Trinidad some years since, and
arrived at Baltimore, on the brig Comet.
The party consists of numerous families,
including men, women, and children. They
are going to the neighborhood of SPRING
field, Illinois, to settle, and are said to be
members of the Presbyterian church.
The Rev. w. L. Breckenridge, an Rev.
Z. P. Humphrey, went to the boat yesterday
morning. and kindly provided for these Chris
tan emigrants with whatever necessares
and provisions they wanted, and lent them a
helping hand towards their new home. We
believe they started to st. Louis OH the Lady

Iron Mountain Railroads.,
