208 Bulletin 191. 



In illustration of this we quote from the letter of Mr. Geo. F. 

 Ingalls of Washington county. lie writes : 



" One of my neighbors last spring when I was planting stood and 

 saw the way I was doin^ it, and when he came to see a furrow from 

 both sides turned over on top of the potatoes that had been dropped, 

 he went off in disgust without saying a word to me, but he said to 

 another fellow, who told of it, ' I did suppose that Ingalls had fair 

 judgment. Pie seems to have about other things, but I guess he has 

 read a little too much about farming for his own good.' Well, that 

 fellow kept watch of the potatoes all summer. They were where he 

 had to go right by them nearly every day, and he was there when I 

 dug them. He then said, 'Well, George, I'll give it up. I thought 

 when you were planting them that you were throwing away a good 

 deal of time and the use of a good piece of ground, but I want to 

 try a piece myself next year the way you planted this.
