FIELD PLO"\S OF FOTATOES. 



As the expcrimeutal plots of field roots and fodder corn do not occupy tlie whole 

 of the field in which they are placed, it is u^ual to fill the remaining space -with pota- 

 toes, such varieties being gro-wn as are likely to be of service in the annual distribu- 

 tion of samples from this Farm. 



The area devoted to the different varieties varies considerably. 



The potatoes were planted May 28 and dug October 8. A satisfactory crop was 

 obtained. A certain amount of rot was noticed, the varieties chiefly affected being 

 Canuan No. 1, Uncle Sam, Bovee and Canadian Beauty. 



The yield per acre is expi'essed in ' bushels ' of 60 lbs.
