Daring these years of waiting she

Potatoes az the Maryland Experi-
ment Station.


Fourteen varieties OF potatoes were
grown at the experiment station the
present season from seed grown in
Maryland and Vermont. and in every
case the Vermont seed gave more
merchatable potatoes than the Mary
land seed and the gross product OF
the former was almost double that
from the latter. In all, three times
as many merchantable potatoes were
grown from the Vermont seed as
from exactly equal quantities of
Maryland seed. It seems safe to
conclude that one cannot afford in
Eastern Maryland to plant potatoes
raised in the neighborhood, If two
bushels of these win buy one OF
Northern grown seed potatoes.
The station also found that the
best crop could be grown from plant.
ing medium sized whole potatoes.
We are inclined to doubt this part of
the experiment. If the ground is
prepared and the crop cultivated in
the best manner, cut potatoes will,
we have NO doubt, raise as large q
crop as the whole tubes. Almost all
depends on thorough culture in rails
ing potatoes. Thorough preparation
of the soil and cultivation is branch
of agriculture as Important-if not
more important-than experimenting
in the direction of the best varieties
of seed. A few lessons from Terry on
potato growing might prove of great
advantage to the station. Whole
potato planting is lazy mans
theory. It takes the place of fine
preparation and thorough culture,
ana would be very expensive to
practice on a large scale. There is
a great difference in the cost of crops
grown from 40 bushels of whole seed
to the acre and bushels cut to one
and two eyes.

Thirty years ago the battery was

ern Hill, Fredericksburg and Lynch
burg engagements. They remained in
service until the close of the war, dur
ing which time $50 men graced their
ranks, or three times ss many as it
takes to comprise battery of six guns.
After organization they were taken to
Pikesvllle Arsenal and mustered in,
thence back to Perryyille where horses
were given them and guns at Principle
Furnace. In Company with Battery
A of Baltimore they then went to
Salisbury. Here they separated and
Battery B spent the winter in Drum

river at Fortress Monroe they went to
Hamptonville and had their old brass
