Ireland never had better crop of pota-
toes than she did last year. AS an instance
of what the yield was in some cases, the
Irish Farmers Gazette mentions the fact
that from two acres and one rood, Irish

large quantities of both Irish potatoes and
turnips at IL rate little lower than the

gallons each against 340, 233, 773 gallons or

sist mainly Of refined petroleum. There is
considerable production of petroleum in
Russia, and Il moderate amount is produced
