Tbe iMontgomery Advertiser says: “Mr. W. tack* son. of Elmore county, raised this year s field or patch of awaet potatoes, the finest perhaps that were ever brought to this market. He has sold all tho products of s half acre for $100 in cash. That would make $200 per arre, or tquivalent !n value to three average balsa of cotton. This, however, was but ene of his crops.
