Warminster. A Good Potato Crop
During the planting season, Mr. Timothy Moore, of Sambourne, planted 5 lbs. of the “Schoolmaster’ potatoes, and on digging the same a few days ago, found that the said 5 lbs. had produced four bushels of good sized potatoes. We should say that the seed planted was very small.
