Nor SMALL PorAToEs.-Last spring
Charles d. Johnson Esq, OF Greenwood,
received from friend in Benson. VT, one
fourth pound Of seed potatoes, Of the early
rose" variety. Mr.. johnson divided the
seed with Mr.. Wallace Balsley. Both
gentlemen planted, and this week dug
the potatoes, and from the quarter pound
of seed they gathered two hundred and
seventeen and three-fourth pounds of po-
tatoes. That's pretty big yield for that
little bunch of potatoes sent in . match
box by mail, from Vermont. The old
Green Mountain State furnished seed and
the Hawkeye soil proved just the spot for
. great growth. Mr.. johnson has left in
our Office q couple of the potatoes, and
they are big enough to go to school. The
two measure sixteen inches in length and
each measure nine inches round. We
did not weigh them as VIC hadn't time to
go up to the hay-scales. So you see these
are by no means, "small potatoes. Nash.
