We observe in the Washington, Pa,
Democrat a letter from ClaYsville giving an
interesting sketch Of conversation with
]. r. Bell, ESQ.,, formerly of NIashall coun-
ty, in this State, but now a resident Of
Washington county. We quote from it
rs follows: a
Jas. r. Bell, who resides on the Depot"
farm, near West Alexander, has made our
town several visits OF late, and has been
very industrious in advocating some points
OF Importance 10 our farmers. Mr.. Bell
insists very strongly and with plausible
foguments that there is too much old
argyism among our farmers, being salts
fed to raise so much grain and wool,
never providing 10: short crops, and most
Of all, lessened prices. Mr.. b. is m ex.
tensive student in agriculture, taking all
the best journals which make this subject
specially, and having sought interviews
with many Of the leading farmers east,
west and north, he says that potatoes are
beyond all dispute tho crop for this coun-
try.
a careful examination shows that the
average price for potatoes in the past ten
yearsis co. cents per bushel. Let o farmer
put IN from % 10 80 acres and see what 1t
loots up. OF course they must and can be
easily shipped to oth0r markets the same
as from Michigan and other States and
there never has been time when they
could not find market, they are Of such
universal consumption. The gentleman
proves beyond question. giving his own
experience, that from three to tive hun;
dred bushels can bc raised on an apre Of
ground, and 90 cents or even 40 cents
would give the farmer handsome return.
lie informs US that DR.. LeAloyao aceoFdss
