 for them to die anyway, so it didn't 

 trouble me any as long as the goods 

 were there. 



I hilled my potatoes the last of .July, 

 rather late, but late is better than never. 



We had our first meal of new potatoes 

 the 10th of July, and they were great! 

 We happened to have a visitor and he 

 said that they were the finest new po- 

 tatoes he ever ate. It happened he was 

 Irish and any Irishman might say that 

 at the sight of an Irish Cobbler. 



On .luly 25th, I dug 13 bushels of po- 

 tatoes. Of these, 12 bushels were large 

 and one small. And two days later, 1 

 I sold the large ones for $2.00 per bushel. 



I dug the rest toward the last of Sep- 

 tember. There were 47 bushels of large 

 ones and 5 bushels of small ones, mak- 

 1 ing a grand total of fio bushels. 



I sold 25 bushels more for $2.00 per 

 bushel, making a total of 37 bushels sold 

 for $74.00, leaving 28 bushels, including 

 small ones, valued at $50.00. 

 I My total income was $124.00, my ex- 

 penses, $79.47, making a net profit of 

 ! $44. .53. 



It cost me at an average of $1.22 a 

 bushel to raise the potatoes, leaving 88 

 cents profit on each bushel. 



I consider that a very good profit and 

 I expect to raise more another year.
