Here are few potato figures, CLEANED
from three farmers who live within half
a mile of each other: Albert Whitcomb
from 312 acres raised 100 bushels; Josiah
Perry, from seven acres raised 1900
bushels and Geo. Jewett from II acres,
had crop of 5000 bushels. Jewett
probably raised more potatoes than any
other man in town, while Whitcomb
raised more, per acre, than the Others.
Of course there are many other farmers
that we have not heard from, but if there
are any who can beat these, either in
quantity or per acre, we would be glad
to hear from them.
