ONE-EIGHT ACRE RAISED BY A BOY. 



The land on which my potatoes were raised was in grass last 

 year. It was plowed in the spring and a fair coat of manure 

 well harrowed in, from two to three bags of fertilizer to the acre 

 was sown in the drill. The potatoes were then droped eighteen 

 inches aj^art and covered by hand. The potatoes were hoed 

 once with horsehoe and twice by hand. One-eight acre yielded 

 thirty and one-third bushels potatoes.
