SIR WALTER RALEIGH.

A medium to late white variety, re-
sembling the Rural New Yorker No. 2,
but rather more prolific. In 1897 the
yield was at the rate of 317 bushels per
acre and the average for two seasons
was 221 bushels.

SIR WILLIAM.

The variety was almost a failure
here last season, although it had been
satisfactory for four years previous. Its
chief fault is tendency to grow
prongy; however, it usually gives a
rather high per cent. of small tubers.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07
UNCLE SAM.

A prolific, late, white sort, of similar
form and habit to the Enormous, but
ranking somewhat below that variety
in productiveness.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07
IRISH COBLER.

A prolific, early, white variety which
gave yield slightly higher than the
Bovee in 1897, the average for two sea-
sons being about the same. In form
and appearance it is not quite equal to
others, but on the whole, it is valua-
BILE early sort.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07
LIVINGSTON.

A very beautiful, late, white sort. Its
yield in 1897 was 4OS bushels per acre
and the average for two seasons was
271 bushels, giving it high rank as to
prolificacy.

A white, or nearly white, Bliss Tfi-

ly prolific and subject to blight.

WISE.

A very prolific, mid-season variety,
having somewhat the same habit of the
Sir William to grow prongy. The yield
in 1897 was 403 bushels per acre, and
for the two seasons the average was 29s
bushels.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07
EARLY TRUMBULL.

An excellent, early, white variety,
which has been on trial two seasons. 1t
has the distinction of standing first in
point of yield of any early variety, and
falls but little below the best of the
late sorts on an average for two sea-
sons. In 1897 the yield was 462 bushels
per acre and the average for two years
was 293 bushels. 1t is fairly rival of
BOvee.

ENORMOUS.

This ranks first in prolifcacy of all
varieties tested in the last two years.
In 1897 the yield was at the rate of sos
bushels per acre and the average for
two seasons was 319 bushels. The
tubers are white, of medium length,
and not inclined to grow prongy. Sea-
son medium to late.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07
EARLY MICHIGAN.

An excellent, early, white variety,
and has stood nearly as high as Bovee
in yield, with rather less tendency to
grow prongy than that variety.

The following notes will serve to show
tatoes have been doing at the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station. In 1897 the yield
was uncommonly good, because both
the soil and the weather were favorable,
while in 1898, the conditions were quite
the opposite, and in consequence the
crop was only about one-third that O.
the previous year, and in some cases
the difference was still greater.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07

A valuable mid-season variety. The
tubers are white, smooth, and nearly
all of marketable size. The yield in
1897 was 395 bushels per acre and the
average for two seasons was 272 BUSH
els. 1t has uniformly done well here,
and reports concerning it are generally
favorable.
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1899-04-07

A good, early sort, maturing with
the Early Ohio, and averaging about
the same in yield.

next, his subject being the reunited re-
public He reviewed the history leading
up to and ending the civil war, and con-
cluded:
THE question of secession Is settled now,
and 1t is idle for original Union men or
confederates to waste time in repeating the
arguments of Jefferson and Hamilton, of
Webster and Calhoun. College professors
who have nothing better to do, may, if
they wish, vex the ears of students with
such archaeological dissertations, but it
would be far better and more patriotic to
call attention away from the dead issues
of the past by pointing, as President Nc
Kinley did at Omaha, to the colossal

they stand. American heroes all: and here

A Good Shot,

A local sportsman, who has the repu-
tation of being very bad shot. recent
ly invited some of his friends to dine
with him. Before dinner he showed
them target painted on the barn door,
with bullet in the bullseye. This he
claimed to have shot at 1000 yards
distance. AS nobody believed him, he
offered to bet the price of an oyster
supper on 1t.
On one of his guests accepting the
wager, he produced two witnesses,
whose veracity could not be ques-
toned, to prove his assertion. AS they
both said that he had done what he
claimed he won the bet. At dinner
the loser of the wager asked how his
host had managed to fire such an ex.
cellent shot. The host answered, IL
shot the bullet at the door at distance
of 1000 yards and then l painted the
target around it."-Cincinnati En-.
