An item in the Tyler correspon-! dence of last week reminded us of the days when North Sas Juan and all the Ridge down from there raiscrops of wonderful potatoes. The days when they had plenty of water on the Ridge. We ean safely say that no where in this world could some of the potatoes be excelled. We recall a erop that was raised by the ate W. E. Ransom of Sebastopol. As a‘rule, potatoes that are very large and long are apt to be hollow ‘in the center. We cannot recall the name of this particular variety, but they were pink in color and nearly all from 8 to 10 inches long, and out of a whole sack we found but two with a small hollow place in the center. The San Juan Ridge and ranches near seemed just the place for the Burbank to flourish. Will this ever -eome back? Waiting makes us weary and heartsick. f We will close with congratulations to The Nugget and best wishes for its future suceess and prosperity.
