Envioa:-I have seen some mon'ion in your paper of Sweet Potatoes, their sise, duality, &c. They appear to be all from the country ( od bless it!) I send you a sample of what the old burg of Edgefield. has done in the Potato way this year, 1561. The largest I send weighed when first dug, 6 lbs., clean.washed-that was a week since. At this time it may faill a little short of that; but the sockdoliger of the patch weighed 111 lbs. Another weighed S lbs. This Mrs. Jt LIA BUTLER will vouch for. My little patch contained one-fourth of an acre, laid ofi into 40 rows three feet apart. I tr.easured from one of these rows 21 husiels of good eating potatoes, besides the small ones I gave to my hogs,-I think a full 1 bushel anire. There was certainly one hundred bushels of good eatiug Potatoes gathered from this quarter of an acre. The ground was taken in from an old pasture. oeeply plowed at least four times during tie spring. Ahout a week before setting out the slips, I run : deep furrow laying off the rows three:-:t apart. In these furrows I drilled about one hun dred and fifty bushels of well-rotted stable ma nure and bedded on to it, leaving the ridges rather fiat; the slips were sat 1 inches apart in the row; they were ploed once, and atterwards kept clean with the hoe ind hands.
