Frank Best seems to have the Col
vile record thus far this season in
raising large spuds. On his grounds
north of the ball ground, which have
been in crops but two years, he has
raised potatoes in the proportion of
$50 sacks to the acre. The tubers
averaged four to the hill, with most
of them very large, the largest
weighing three pounds and twelve
ounces, and others brought up town
weighed almost as much. They were
practically free from scab or blemish.
Mr. Best makes no effort to plant his
spuds early. Two years ago he did
not plant until June End, and this
year planted about the same time.
He uses the Melted Gem variety.
