The 1880 crop OF potatoes WILL according
TO recent estimates go down ON record as
the largest in the history OF the country.
Figures based ON careful review Of the
various producing sections place the to-
tai yield at 10000 000 bushels, against Co.,
900 60 bushels in 1898 l7i0o000O bushels in
1897 and 2oo0O0000 bushels I'm 1895.
Tho remarkable production is due TO tho
stimulating Influence Of high prices in
1893. Farmers Increased their potato
area nearly 100000 acres. and though the
yield per acre has been smaller the total
result Shows Tremendous increase.

present flooded with bogus silver coin,
mostly of the dollar denomination. The
banks have discovered many of the spu-
rions coins and there is probably not q
merchant in the city who has not eilheT
accepted them or had them tondered
him in the course of trade. Many havt
been palmed off on the street car com
pany and some of the larger stores.
Most Of the dollars are of very poor
mold, light in weight and off in cclor.
The dollars bear the date OF 1897.
