ourehased in ireland at between 12 to 13 cents pei pound he does not consider there is very much profit in feeding cattle at present prices but fiincis it necessary in order to utilize the straw to make manure most of the cattle at present prices but finds marketed the balance are put on grass they would weigh from 13 to 15 cwt each this farm produces about 125 acres of notatoes each year as well as a lot of turnips and about 20 acres of sugar beets which farmers in some sections are compeiied to grow the potatoes are sold mostly for seed and are quite a profitable cro averaging as much as 12 tons per acre- we were surprised to find that most of the notatoes are picked by hand thus requiring a lot of extra labor for some reason they are not satisfied with the potato diggers sixteen
