Early Potatoes. —Beside command* ; fng a high price, there are other coneiderathpis that come in to make the early crop of potatoes valuable. Thf Early Rose continues to be as good at the best, not only for the early but tha late crop, and always fetches a remunerating price in the market. But there it thi3 additional advantage in the early crop—it can be harvested and removed and the ground put in good order for fall crops. The best turnips we have, ever known came out of a piece of ground first cleared of early potatoes. Indeed, we do not know of a mora profitable arrangement of crops than to have turnips follow potatoes. Tha ground usually has to be pretty good for potatoes, but it is not essential that the manure be very much decayed, home, indeed, contend that long, strawy manure is all the better for a potato crop. Tha turnips, on the other hand, must have the manure very well decayed, in order to give out its best results. Hence, after the potato has done with its fertilizer, there is enough left for the turnip to thrive upon. Wheat and rye also thrive very well on land which has been previously well* manured for potatoes. In all these cases the early potato has a great advantage over the late one. They allow of a much-earlier preparation of the ground lor the subsequent crop. There is still another advantage in an early potato. In this part of the country at least the is subject to the attacks of the stem-borer. They usually commence their ravages about the end of June. They bore out the whole center pith of the stems, and before the end of July the plants are all dead, being dried up before the potato is matured. In such cases there are not often fifty bushels of potatoes to the acre, and of these half of them are too small to be salable. By getting the potato early in the ground and using varieties which mature early, tte tubers are of pretty good size befamt the insects get to work, and is a great gain. It seems to us #• can almost do without any more late kinds. We say nothing here of the depredations of the beetle, as it has been so completely met and overthrown as hardly any longee to be considered as a serious injury to the crop, early or lata. ttUgnph.
