Our potato friend. r. n. Cofman.

day the result of which leads him To be-
lieve that the yield on his best land
will be about 20 bushels to. the acre.
and he thinks that one twenty five acre
block will average 60 bushels. lie
marketed the several bushels which he
brought in Monday evening. which
were the. yield Of two rows, at 81 per
bushel to our gTocerymsn, and left
about peck of the finest specimens
We have. ever seen at our sanctum.
One of the potatoes left with US
weighed fully pound and the whole
lot were OF pretty marketable size.
Another encouraging feature of Mr..
COffman 5 crop Is that all the yield this
year is large and the potatoes are of
nice marketable SiZe-there will scarce
Nv be enough small potatoes on five
acres to seed one acre. whereas, here
tOfOre there has been so many small
potatoes grown that the yield from. our
lands was second-rated. Mr.. Coffman
is progressive and enthusiastic far
mer. and devOtes his entire time and
talents toward obtaining the hest re-
suits, and The TINES hopes he will
strike it rich this season.
