On the other hand, peas, beans, turnips, carrots, cabbages, etc., produce crops as heavy as those of England.

Potatoes, being the staple article of production, are principally cultivated, as the price of twenty pounds per ton yields a large profit.

These, however, do not produce larger crops than from four to six tons per acre when heavily manured; but as the crop is fit to dig in three months from the day of planting, money is quickly made.
There are many small farmers, or rather gardeners, at Newera Ellia who have succeeded uncommonly well.

One of the emigrants who left my service returned to England in three years with three hundred pounds; and all the industrious people succeed.

I am now without one man whom I brought out.
