TO INTERNAL CAUSES. 45 



(175.) Mr. Greatrex has favored me with the following 

 statement, which is valuable, because the disease attacked 

 his neighborhood very severely. " The crop is less than 

 that of last year, not yielding in some situations more than 

 one bushel per rood (good and bad), and these unusually 

 small ; but it is believed that the tubers which have come 

 to maturity keep better than those of last year. In this 

 district a large common was inclosed three years back 

 (light soil). This land bore a good crop last year, and 

 has this year escaped better than any other land in the 

 neighborhood : it is situated about 100 feet above a large 

 meer of forty-seven acres, which may perhaps be consi- 

 dered to have arrested the blight. Light soils have 

 answered best. 



"Previous to August all the early kinds were sound 

 and productive. 



" Several gentlemen have had foreign seed, and have 

 not half the average crop of good and bad."
