A Big Yield Of Potatoes.

To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l
This is such remarkable instance
of progressive Irish potato culture
that | give it for the benefit of your
farmer readers.
t. M, Sanders, who lives on the
north sideof. the river from here, pre-
pared one acre of land in the follow
ing manner: The land was new
ground. 1t was coultered both ways,
then narrowed one way, and laid off
in rows three feet apart. He then
procured five bushels of late potatoes
of the Peerless variety, and cut them
to an eye and dropped them in the
rows one foot apart, and covered
them with two burrows with a single
pillow. The potatoes were not given
a particle of cultivation. When the
bushes and weeds grew twelve or
fifteen feet high they were cut down
with the hoe. Result: Three hun
dred and fifty bushels of potatoes.
This is not guess work. The writer
saw many of them measured. MIR.
Sanders says he learned to raise pota-
toes from an Irishman. One year
the Irishman had out ten acres i'm
potatoes. On the ten acres he raised
1000 bushels, and sold them for
$4,000 dollars. w. l.. p.
