SMALL POTATOES.

Tue falling off in our was

product of potatoes per acre, the product

of ibis vear being unsatisfactory alike as

o quantity and quality. The causes of the lecrease were discussed iu a general way.

causes combine to a smaller acreage uader notatoes in recent vears. iret, there 38 the bug, involving additional trouble as

well as the ure of poison. Then, the

prices have been low, and farmers bave discovered that potatoes d.aw from the soil such a large proportion of the esten

tialelement of potash that it doesn’t pay to grow potatoes at twelve, fifteen, or even twenty cents a bushel. Thirdly, there has been on the part of our better farmers a change of system. Instead of growing oats and potatoes four export, those farmers whose heads are level now produce cattle, pigs and sheep, and send all the milk they can spare to the butter and cheese factories, As food for catile and other farm animals, |! bas been found (that turnips, mangolds, carrots, sugar beets, etc., are good snbsti- tutes for potatoes, yield a greater number of bushels per acre, and are not subject tothe attacks of the bug. Consequently, our farm

ers plant a larger acreaze of the form rend a smaller acreage of the latter. Thealleged amaljer size of our potatoes was ascribed by those who took part io the discussion (1) to the need of a charge of seed, (2) to

the fact that there is less potash in our

ST. PETERS’ BREAKWATER.

Sry. Perers’ Baeakwarer is at last ac- der consiruction, To this, as in respect to the pr hibition plebis ‘ite, aud all other matters, the government is looking after its

\ influential friends to the exclusion, harJ-

working, honeet men “who haven’t the pull.” Weare informed that well-to-do Liberal farmers are emploved upon the

work, doubiless at the maximum of cost

play.

WHAT ABOUT PRUHIBITION.

Io con- clu-ion he says: Thank God this question has now entered the political circies and the 10,000 cle'gymen and the hundreds of

ace

thousands of faithful and patriotic men anil women will make tbeir voice and influence both heard and felt from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the

were offered an abundant supply of good | wholesome and sufficiently large potatoes

would speedily be torthcom‘og frem ee] farmers of this Province even is this year of comparitive failure. The revewal o! seed which bas been obtained by an inoter- change on the part of the farmers of dif- ferent sections of the country has hereto-

fore resulted in vigorous growth and good returns; and from the fact that there have

been very few complaints about potatoe sets missing, and that there is usually» a vigorous growth of top all along the line, we conclude that the fault does not, asa rule, liein the germinatirg p)ver of the seed. Indeed we are convinced that if our farmers take pains to ob‘ain occasional changes of seed from their friends in dis -

trict parts of the Province and plant only the sets of large and well developed tubere, there need be no anxiety, in Ordivary years, sbout the size of our potatoes. All the game, we are hearty in accord with those who desire fo obiain another variety of potato to jtake the p'ac?of our staple McIntosh. ,Thie potato is a better “keeper” than other varieties; and it pleases the taste of our people. But it does not fully taticfy the consumer in the States and the neighboring provinces. If we cou'd by a change of {seed obtain a potato that would be an equally good “keeper” throughout the winter and spring months, and would be as continuously productive while it would better satisfy the taste of the people abroad, Prince Ejward Island would undoubtedly be benefitted. Of course there is absolute scientific truth in Mr Newson’s contention that the development of the Jurge, measly, laughing potato demands abundance of potash in the soil

Mr Foster said in St John the other night, “That all political issues should sink when this great moral question is before the coustry.” Sol believe that the very best mes on both sides of the boxse will stand shonlder to shoulder, heart io heart, on the greatest questioa that eve: came before any government or any nation, The Lord is in thi- movement, and although the powere cf darkness may te*n to triumph for a time, but, truth mercy and righteousness, must in the end be victorions.
