half one way and half the other, and is the fpeediefl, 

 eaficft, and cheapeft nnethod of planting I ani ac- 

 quainted with. The groimd was planted the 14th 

 and 15th days of April laft. 



In June they were horfe-hoed with a fmall one- 

 wheel plough, which I keep for horfe-hoeing; and 

 this was all the labour and expence beftowed upon 

 ;hem during their growth* 



The 30th of Odober the taking of them up wast 

 compleated. The whole produce was only 378 

 bufhels; — a very indifferent crop! little more than 

 half the acreable produce of laft year^ The ej^- 

 pence of ploughing them up, harrowing, dragging, 

 picking up, loading, carrying home about a quarter 

 q( a mile, unloading, and carrying into the barn, 

 $cc. was not quite 3d. a bag, or id. a bufhel. The 

 fl:ate of the account, in a comparative view, I make 

 out as follows: 



The meafure of all the ground planted was 325 

 poles. The whole produce 378 bufhels. The 

 meafure of the ground planted with cut potatoes 

 was 265 poles; the produce 312 bufliels. The 

 ground planted with whole or micia fcts was 6q 

 pole, and the produce of the fame 66 buihels.
