who Can Beat 1t?

Mr.. Jonathan Wassom has raised
about 200 bushels of potatoes of the
Burbank Seeding variety on one quar-
ter of an acre of fresh land near the
mill. They are fine large potatoes and
there is scarcely damaged or rotten
one among them. THE EXPRESS re
turns thanks for large donation from
this potato patch.
Now that potatoes are cheap and
plenty is no reason that every bushel
should not be carefully housed and
taken care of. In all probability they
will command a handsome price before
spring; the crop in California is short,
besides there will be a considerable de-
mand in the East. Already the job
bing merchants are shipping car loads
East. Farmer friends, take care oi
YOUR potatoes.
