already chroncled the cessation of the potato rot on
Lopg Island Nothing could be more favorable for its
general isconiinuance than the cool weather that pre-
walls now about this 9th day Of August. 9f the crop
ard its disease in other sections we give few items Of
Information.
The potatorot in Monmouth County, New'Jersey,
IT is thought, will lessen the crop more than nan.
Even the latest kinds, which il was hoped would
e.cape are now said to be affected. The fat crop Oh
tina. county it is thought is greater than that oil any
other county Of equal area in the country.
AT Lancaster, Penn, the potatoes are ahec'ed-
principally in the Valley.
At Frederick, Nd, the disease has also made KS sp'
pearancc.

"Potntoes never looked better. Last month july
was very dry we scarcely had rain enough TO lay the
du,t. during the whole month, which OF course msde
us feel very doubtful about having very large crop.
But this month came in with frequent showers vhcn
