LETTER XXVI. 



POTATOES are a crop which, in 

 many circumftances, referable thofe I 

 considered in my laft letter ; they are 

 of an ameliorating nature, a large product of 

 them being more beneficial to the foil than 

 even a fallow j and they probably yield an 

 increafe proportioned to the culture beftowed 

 on them while growing ; but yet it would 

 have cauied much confufion to have joined 

 them together ; for potatoes vary from all 

 the reft in numerous circumftances, befides 

 that material one of not being a common 

 article of culture in very extenlive tracks of 

 country through which this tour was made. 

 I (hall firft lay before you a general ftate of 

 their culture and produce, and if it gives rife 

 to any average accounts, mall extract them 

 accordingly.
