We have had two or three 't blizzards"

down nearly to zero, but it was only a few
hours, and the result was` that we had

they are called here, are planted•anytme
through the winter, Pruni Christmastime
till April for the first crop, but very few
are 'raised' in this country, owing to the
small yield per acre, making it unprofit-
able, and the supplyis mostly imported
from northern States. Thirty bushels per.
acre is considered agood yield, Three years
ago, a friend of mine was induced to plant
a couple of act es from the e t avaaant°re-
1 port of those that knew nothing anus the
business. They 'contended that as.early
fibtatoes were selling here in May, for $6
per barrel raised in Florida, and were
selling in northern cities for a still, higher
price, with unlimited demand,, that they
might •be raised at ,home in Georgia, as
well, and thus ,secure a profitable . crop;

everything looked fair and promising, pota-

northern cities at from ,$5 to•$6 perbarrel,
buthis potatoes were onlyin blossom,' and
would not bo readyto ship under a month.
As Georgia potatoes begrin'to come in, the
price rapidly dropped to • S2.50, and. then

frauds that have been perpetrated by the
Indian officials in the North west,• who are
still retained in office, was a magnificent ef-
fort. The statement made by Mr..Canaer-
on with respect to the conduct of Lieut. -
Governer Dewdney, and"other Govern-
ment officials were the most startling,, and
the official and disinterested testimony, he
produced in support of his charges, wse
overwhelming. By -the- evidence of mis-
sionaries, Mounted Police officers, and
other disinterested and reliable persons,
Mr. Cameron proved that both the Gov-
ernment and Indians were -being systema-
tically ribbed and swindled, and that tile"
Indians ;pad been starved• as, a matter of
Ministerial policy. The reply to Sir Hee-:
for Langevin on behalf of the Government
was : characteristic. The only evidence
that the Minister could :give in reply to
Mr. Cameron's charges wassome.extracts
from a'Mail editorial. Sir Hector showed
the imbecility, of himself and his ''collea�
gues by, setting up a. whine.becauee•. Mr.
Cameron had 'brought the. Matter ftp • in

great many farmers -'are •continually trying
to raise them, but their efforts in this line
have most invariably -proved a failure, as.
the summers are very loeg, with iemarl.-

Strange as it may appear, corn andflour,
pork, beef, mules, horses,: cattle and hay,
are'largely imported into Georgia from the
north and west—even chickens, butter
and cheese. Milk also sells everywhere
