Nearly 1000 Bushels Of Potatoes on ons


NEW YoRK, November 29.-The most mar.
velous achievements in crop raising ever
known is the result of competition, in which
farmers all over the country have joined the
past season, to win prizes which were offered
by the American Agricultural. So extraor-
binary have been the yields obtained by sew
eral competitors that the result seems &c
signify almost revolution IN the scientific
practice of agriculture and the discovery OF
new and priceless secrets of natures labra-
tory. To have actually grown 135 bushels of
oats on one acre, "a, $50 square feet; 1881
bushels of potatoes on one acre, eighty bush
els of wheat on one acre, and 225 bushels of
shelled corn within the limits of one acre,
was the magnificent total of the Agriculturist
crop competition of 1889. In each class these
were the largest crops ever grown on one
acre.
The winner of the first prize is William J.
Sturgls, of Buffalo, Johnson county, Wyo.
His acre of potatoes yielded 974 bushels.
The crop gas grown on virgin soil, without
manure or fertilizer, but the land was rich in
p><ash, and the copious irrigation was of
water also rich in saline material. There
were y, 500 sets on one acre and $50 pounds
OF sets containing one, two and three eyes
we're planted of the early Vermont and Man
haitian varieties. The profit on the crop ON
this first prize acre was STA, exclusive of
$500 In prizes. The yield described is, of
course, phenomenal, but the natural condi-
tons were also, to say the least, unnatural.
