Experiment tcith the Potato Oat. I sowed last spring a small 

 quantity of seed of the potato oat, from the Patent OfiBce, an English 

 variety. The soil on which it was sowed is light gravelly loam ; 

 had been well manured and planted with corn the year before. The 

 oats came up well, grew very rank, but blighted about the time of 

 heading out. It proved a complete failure.
