IX. 



We always let our Potatoes follow a crop of Peas, Onions, or 

 winter Greens. For these crops we give a heavy dressing of 

 stable manure, with soot, in the growing season. In spring the 

 ground is worked twice over, with a good dressing of lime and 

 fine charcoal. The drills then drawn out 2 feet 6 inches apart, 

 and the Potatoes planted 18 inches apart in the line. 



To Shallots we give a heavy dressing of soot and a little lime 

 (Onions the same) in the growing season. Ours is a strong 

 loam on the shillet rock. — Joseph Willis, Hollowmead Lodge,
