It was stated that there bas been t a grainal decreass in the a gradual decrease in the acreage wer potatoes and | | product of potatoes per acre, the product of ibis vear being unsatisfactory alike as o quantity and quality.

Several! 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 our potatoes were planted in soil containing the lately made ashes of the forest: primeval consideration of the Minister of Agrical- ] | ryelvy to unusually wet weather, | | | ; | j — ee a In any case, we commend tothe favorable ture the resolution passed by the Board of ‘Trade and trust that he will, by means of the experts under his control, supply auch ’ practical suggestions avd insfruciions a8 will enable the formers of Prince Edward ixlund to obtain better crops of grain #8 But have no expectation that the years when wel] as potatoes in future years, we potatoes were so'd at twelve and fifteen ' cents per bushel will be revived in this Province.

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. ne Kel» is wanted when the nerves become weak and appetite fails.
