until I read in the Rural of January 19, the 
report of W. R. A., who raised almost four 
bushels to the hill, [By a typographical error 
bushels was put forpouuds.—Eos ] The season 
here is too short for the Shoe-peg Corn. 1 
must brag a little on my White Elephants. 
Two years ago last Spring I had one potato 
that weighed two ounces, that produced 11 
pounds. The next year I had 720 pounds and 
last Fall I had 22,000 pounds. There were 
very small potatoes among them and I picked 
out 25 potatoes that weighed 50 pounds, and 
there were plenty more of the same size in the 
bin. The largest one weighed two-and-a-quar- 
ter pounds This is the best variety I know of 
both for quality and yield. The yield of the 
White Washington Oats was 127 bushels, ma¬ 
chine measure, and fully a quarter of the grain 
had been thrashed out by the hail before they 
were cut. j. E . K . 
Connecticut. 
New Haven, New Haven Co.—From my 
two small Blush Potatoes, planted in three 
hills, I got half a bushel measure even full of 
very nice tubers. I consider this a large yield, 
and consider the Blush the " coming” potato 
for dry weather. My Blushes stood the drought 
well, and were growing finely when all other 
kinds were dried up. o. w. d. 
Indiana. 
Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co.—I sowed the 
B-b C VV beat last Fall. It came up and 
looked well until the cold spell in November, 
which nearly killed it. The Shoe-peg Corn 
is too late here for a short season like the 
last one. It might do in some seasons. I 
will try it. again. I raised one-half bushel of 
Blush Potatoes from two small ones. They 
are as late as the White Elephant. Their faults 
are, too deep eyes; hollow core; some of them 
are red inside when cooked; too many small 
ones, and they spread in the hill too much. 
We have better potatoes. j. j. s.
