POTATOES. 



The yields of potatoes were smaller than those of any preceding year, but the 

 quality was excellent. The hot, dry July no doubt caused the poor returns, as frost 

 did no injury during the growing season. 



Yields were computed from weight of two rows each 66 feet long and 30 inches 

 apart.
