REPORTS FROM CORRESPONDENTS 



As far as possible reports have been received from all sec- 

 tions of the state upon the results with the potatoes sent from 

 the Experiment Station. In order to simplify matters, each 

 county has been classified by itself and they are taken up in the 

 following pages in alphabetical order. It so happens that 

 Carroll county is the only one not represented. 



The tables are computed to bushels per acre so that it is an 

 easy matter to compare the yield with the same varieties in 

 other counties or at the Experiment Statior. The notes follow- 

 ing also give the general conditions under which the crop was 

 grown :
