Potato Crop is Small.

Reports come in from various parts of county to the effect that the will be sl.Vu. The potato vines seemed have grown large enough and are thick enough on the vines but when one digs into the bills only one or two small potatoes are found. The cause is thought to lie in the long cold weather in the spring and the too abundant rains during the season. The immediate vicinity has experienced no great disaster in this line tho the crop will be slim.
