Potatoes ROtting In Ground

Farmers In many places about here
who have commenced to dig potatoes
report that they have commenced to
rot in the ground. One farmer found
no less than three rotten potatoes in as
many hills. If they continue to rot
in this proportion and keep it up after
they are dug the big potato crop in
this section will shrink. There is every
indication that the crop of potatoes in
raised in years but this reported rot
does not look very encouraging and If
it continues it will mean big loss and
