In 1897 I ploughed in the spring and planted with po- 

 tatoes. They looked fine up to the 1st of July when the 

 rust struck them. As it was I got about fifty bushels off 

 an acre and I took extra care of the potatoes, and I intend 

 to make an onion bed of the land next year. 



Or. 

 50 bushels potatoes, at ^1.00, $50 00
