Mr. John M. Smith, a prominent farmer and President of the Wisconsin 
State Horticultural Society, entered into the Potato Contest for the Grand 
Prize in 1889, and his report is interesting. His trial acres lay side by side, 
on a level tract, and were as nearly uniform in quality of land as could be 
obtained. They were all treated precisely alike, except as to manuring, 
which was different for each trial acre, as shown below. Variety of seed
