The Yield Of Potatoes.

How many bushels an acre does
your potato field yield? There are
acres in the United States from
which 400 bushels have been taken
in single season, and other acres
produce only twenty bushels. What
makes the difference Part OF 1t IS
due to soil and weather, but the rest
is difference in fertilization and Gull
tivation. In Maine, where the aver
age yield was 215 bushels an acre
last year, the farmers put about a
ton Of phosphate on each acre. Ii
costs them about $35, but they more
than get it back in the increased
Weld Colorado comes next to Maine
in the yield, with 159 bushels an
acre. but there are twenty-five states
and territories which yield less than
100 bushels an acre.-Touth's Com
panion.

the power Of the civil authorities OF
