"GROW POTATOES"
Secretary Morton's Advice Il
Farmers.

And now the tuber is king. Grow
potatoes has for years been Secre-
tary Morton's urgent appeal to the
farmers OF the United States, and
finally they have taken his advice.
Now they are beginning to realize
that they will profit by planting
more ground to potatoes instead OF
wheat. There Is at all times q steady
demand for the tubers and they are
uuite as staple as wheat and are not
subject to the fluctuations Of the lat
ter. With the low price Of wheat and
corn. the farmers have looked about
for some more profitable crop and
investigation shows that the United
States has never produced enough
potatoes for home consumption.
Thousands Of bushels are bought in
foreign markets every year and if
there is profit for growers abroad,
with small areas to devote to the
crop and the additional expenses Of
ocean frei ght rates, they ought to be
money in the business for the farmers
in this country, who have larger
tracts of laud an cheaper freight
rates.
Secretary Morton has urged these
facts upon the American agricul-
turists ever since he took charge Of
the agricultural bureau and his argu-
mentS are bearing fruit. Govern.
ment statistics indicate that the
acreage is constantly growing and
the growers are paying more atten-
ton to the cultivation OF the crop.
Heretofore farmers have devoted q
match Of ground to what they needed
for their own use The seed was put
into the ground and little attention
given to the crop. Consequently the
quality detcriorated and frequently
the man who might have grown
thousands Of bushels for the market
found it necessary to pay - bushcl
for potatoes when his wheat WAS
bringing less than one-half that sum.
America produces as fine potatoes as
any other country and more atten-
tion will be given to their cultivation
hereafter.
The imports for the fiscal year end
iny June 30, 1891, were 3,O22, 3IS
bushels. of the value Of nearly one
and u quarter million dollars. Re-
ports for the year ending June go,
1898, are not yet made up, but the?
Will show greatly increased importa-
tlons, for the crop last year was y,
2:u, 900 bushels less than the previous
year.
This year there are 5000, 900 acres
sown to potatoes in the United States.
New York is the greatest producer,
with Michigan next. In the former
State 31S, 126 acres produced 30, oM',
Nnn bushels last year. which We're
sold for half as many million dollars.
Michigan produced l3, poQ,Q bush
ci., from 2I3, 72S acres. Pennsylvania,
with 4 much smaller acreage than
Michigan, raised almost as mauy
bushels. Illinois ranks fourth ana
is among the heavy producers.

AN IMMENSE CORN CROP.
The South Will Ee Blessed as Neve
BEFORE by Abundant HarveGtS.

The Southern States Magazine publishes
elaborate reports from Southern bankers and
railroad officials in regard to the outlook for
farming and general business interests with
special reference to the diversifcation of
agriculture in tie South:
yhe reports show that the unusual large
corn crop Of 1891 will hn cXcelled this year
by at least from 1OO.000.O0 to $50 ,0GO,O 600
bushels, and il is estimated that the aSSre-
gate yield in the South will be from GOO .0OO,-
900 to 650. 900. 900 bushels OF corn, worth to
that section at least $500 900. 900. This is
the greatest corn crop ever produced in the
South.
Fruits and vegetables as shown by these
reports. are attracting great attention and
the yields this year have been unprecedent-
edly large. The South has been blessed az
never before with every crop excepting cot
ton and although that may be smaller III
yield, tilan last year. its money value prom
is"s to be larger.

f. 'ndom from debts and increasing pros
