in view Of the two Id seasons just
past, and the small supply of irish po-
tatoes on hand in Consequence, our
people should go large into the plant
ing Of this popular tusr. The South
ern crop can be puton the market
from three to six weks earlier than
the Northern and Wetern crop and
will in consequence demand good
prices. The fact that good seed are
high and difficult to getshould not de-
ter those who understa,d the culture
of the Irish potato. Every effort
should be bent toward getting this
crop on the market early sad in prime
condition. A few wears $50 similar
conditions obtained to those now
prevailing and a West Point gentle
man netted $1,000 OF seven acres Of
land in Irish potatoe. 1t would be
well for a number of planters in the
same section to co-operte SIP as to Sc
cure good freight rates.
