Percentage of Marketable Potatoes. 



The crop of 1894 as compared with that of 1893 is in 

 every case smaller, owing to the exceptionally dry season. 



The relative proportion of marketable tubers is consider- 

 ably greater in 1893 than in 1894, owing to a premature 

 cessation of growth during the drought. 



The difference in yield of the plats receiving muriate, as 

 compared with those receiving high-grade sulphate of pot- 

 ash, is but slight. 



The severe drought has affected results to such an extent 

 that no further conclusions can 1)e drawn with reference to 

 the fertilizer used.
