Island of JERSEY Potatoes,
London Daily News

London Daily News.
Potato growing in Jersey seems to be
an expensive, but withal profitable oc-
cupation. According to leafet issued
by the Agricultural Department., the
cost of production for an acre of early
tubers averages about EAT, les, of which
no less than e15 goes for manure. The
profit varies from e13 an acre to as much
az ga, 10s. In an ordinary season plant
ing takes place in January, and unless
the plants ore checked by frosts they are
all earthed up by April. The great point
is to have the crop ready as early as pos
sible, as the high prices given for the
earliest consignments soon fall of. Thus,
in 1857, the price first obtained was e24 q
ton. In the following week it had fallen
o ZIG, As, and in the eight week of the
season it was as low as E6, 5s. Not very
many years ago the chief culture in the
island was the growing of apples and
pears, but the apples have been replaced
by potatoes, and vines and tomatoes have
been substituted for some of the pears.
About six-tenths of the total area Of land
under cultivation is given to potatoes,
which yield about sight-tenths of the to-
tai gross return. Only about 183 acrea
are given to fruit-growing, great deal
of which is carried on under glass. TIE
consequence is that this small area yields
about e18,C00 worth of grapes, $4,000
worth of tomatoes, and about 1880
worth of large, lucious pears so familiar
in the London market
