REPORT OF W. HORKAN OF DAWSON, Y.T., 1906. 



REPORT OF GEO. F. HENLEY OF WEST DAWSON. 1906. 



Early Rose Potatoes 



Grass. 



June 1st. 



Light sandy loam.. . 



Toward the middle of August some of the 

 potatoes had grown to the size of a goose- 

 egg, about three of such a size were dug 

 from each hill and in addition perhaps six 

 smaller potatoes varyinar in size from a 

 pigeon's egg to that of a hen's egg. Light 

 h'osts about this time — Aug. 15— checked 

 the growth. 



No Hianure of any kind was used unless moss 

 be a manure. Virgin soil on the side hill 

 about 150 ft. above the city fiat was chosen. 



I am .satisfied that properly manured soil 

 would produce excellent potatoes. 



I am sorry to have no report on tho grass as 

 it was destroyed by roaming cattle.
