Gov ALLEN, OF LoUIsIANA.-The new Governor OF
louisiana General Henry W. Allan, who has signal ED
his yaor in many Of the Asroes contests Of this war
was recently naugurAtsd at Shreveport before i'm

spirited and patriotic address, which commend the
perusa of the reader: .as-,

the Irisb potato crop.
We need not quote authorities upon the value of this
crop. Adm Smith, Mc0ullocA, Buckle, Loudon and
many other distinguished authors have treated upon its
importance They estimate that the amount Of nuri-

supply food for the support Of from two to three times
as many persons that from acre of wheat These
estimates are based upon the crops of Great Britain
and Ireland where thirty sixty bushels of Whea! per
acre "a the usual crop while the yield of the potato is
not greater than with Ne They allow, ass, of pols-
toes, nine and half pounds for men, and seven and
half pounds for women, as the average daily oonsump
ton for lAbOrers
The IRISH potato is Indigenous to America. II has

hundred years has been extensively cultivated in Ir5
