Lake township, gave US an agreeable
surprise by sending us sixty potatoes
which together weighed seventy pounds.
They were of the varieties known as
Peerless, Early Rose and Strawberry,
and are little ahead of anything we
have yet seen from Lake county soil.
Mr.. Dwyer harvests about 200 bushels
from three quarters ofan acre, we hear;
his land, however, being bottom land.
The quality of the tubers was ss much

through and through. A half dozen,
cooked by our better half proved too
much Of u family ration for one meal.
Mr.. ID. has our thanks till he has more
substantial pay.
