The PoTATo RoT. writer in the Freder-
ick Examiner, in speaking of the disease which
prevails so extensively among the potatoes,
says, "that it is to be attributed exclusively to
the heavy manuring in the hill with upper
muted or stable manure" After considerable
enquiry amongst his neighbors, he has found,
"that those who manure heavie in the hill,
with stable manure, complain the loudest
Those who use it broadcast complain but little,
some of them not at ALL"


1t is possible that manuring highly may fa-
clitate the progress of the disease; but that it
is attributable alone to- that cause we have po-
sitive evidence to the contrary-for we have an
instance within our own know ledge in which
potatoes planted at the same time in different
places, and without particle of manure Of any
kind, produced very differently-those on high
land being fine and exempt from rot, whilst
those on low land were nearly all destroyed
But we do not consider this difference OF loca-
tion a solution of the question as to the cause
of the disease as it prevails in Europe as we'll as
in this country. May it not be atmospheric
We should like to see series of experiments
tried by some Of our experienced farmers, with
the view OF arriving at a correct conclusion.
