will take nearer 1000 bales than $1,000 the com

Troy's Sunday budget denies that tho potato

Potato growers in this section should not for.

| In stated that tho potato crop throughout the
| country from Its present indications, will be
practically failure, This state produces, ON an
| average, nearly uncioufth OF the potato crop oi
| the whole country. Last years yield IN the
United states was about us, 900 co. bushels. New
! York contributing upward OF 25,WotO bushels.
| Tho average crop In the whole country for tho
rast ten years has been about lS5 900 600 bushes
| Therefore, last years Yield was fully 20,UuoOOO
bushels less than the average Tor de-
cadc past, New Works crop this year, 1t is now
estimated, cannot 20 beyond 2a000000 bushels
aud the product of tho rest OF tho country 40 far
as heard from, is not likely to make the aggre-
gate higher than that of last year.
This means continuation OF high
prices for another year About S5lh,-

that the population " the country has increased
by about ,, 1000 ~ since the present crop yea
began. Rensselaer,. we believe, Is about III,
second or third greatest potato growing count,
IN the United States Washington and Sara
togs counties are also among the greatest potato
