"From our Baerin' 'Lands,'' was a label placed over an Early Rose potato measuring 11 inches in length and weighing 2lb 1oz, from L. Notemyer's, which was placed on exhibition by Ed. Ware at the "Hole in the Wall," Monday. Our "barren lands" are surely doing themselves credit this year. The eye of the oldest inhabitant or the most successful granger never rested on vegetables that excel those raised in this vicinity this year. By the way, the Tribune received a copy of Gen. Hazen's "Our Barren Lands" last week which will be reviewed at an early day.
