OF them. and they are of extra quality, have
also, . Peach Blow " potatoes. Pink Ewes, and
a variety of other kinds from Illinois.
Potatoes, are by far the most profitable crop,
farmers can raise here, as can be seen by the fol-
lowing figures. Last year | planted % bushels
of potatoes early in June. for which | paid
$500. We raised $50 bushels, which was on
ty about hair crop. The expense of cultiya-
lion, and of getting to market, was $50. To-
tai S125.00. Present value of the crop $4,000
Or $3.50 profit, from 4 acres Of ground. Now
suppose had planted corn. instead of potatoes.
The seed for acres would have cost. Ex-
pense of cultivation, say $50. + would have
obtained not over 200 bushels of corn from the
acre.. This would now be worth s400 which
would leave less than ORe-hdlf of the profit, the
potatoe crop yielded.
Farmers be wise and plent more potatoes, for
even if they are not one half the present price
next spring, and corn should be as high as it is
now, you would make far more ON the potatoe
crop. c. STEARNS.
