A potato-growing eomuetition, orgai*. i;ed 1,.r the. Hallr.m Fields Garden Association, in Eugland, has given est eeptiosal rosults. In one section 54 members comoeted; each of whom was piven lib. of seed of Sutton's Superks. t've. The tubers had to be placed out of doors, and the whole operation—cutting the sets., planting, digging, and we : ghing the produce—was under strict supervision. Each was allowed; to cut his pound of potatt*s into as many sets as he desired, the idea being to produce the greate-t weight of tubers from the pound of seed snp. I piled. The results were remarkabla,. i considering the droughty season exj perieuced. The first prize-winner ouft j Irs seed into 110 sets, which produced j 1811b., while the second prize-winner ; only had 67 sets, yet his orodnce from j little more than half the number of 1 actual roots was only Sib behind. This result, therefore, shows that good•jized sets produced more tubers, and of larger size, than where small potatoes or sets were olanted. The lowest V yield wa, 5 21'b from 30 sets. Ona competitor had onlv 10 sets in his ■ pound of seed, and these yielded 4"lb |3r an average of over 4*lb to a root' i while the winner of the first prize only i had an average of ljlb '■jo a root. \ The horrible tortures of rhenrnatitn \ can be relieved.
