As the saving of seed is an ()Ned of the great.
est importance for; extending the culture of rota.
toes, the Board &Sires to remark, .that it hay
been ascertained by experiments, that the eyes of
Potatoes cut out with a' semi-circular edged 'ecoop,
so as to leave the laiger part fur pnitnoti
sumption, masy he used advantageously 'for that
purpose; provided such eyes he planted on' a mel.
ow soil. When they are cut out, they should he
thinly spread,. rein Small heaps, and moved from
time to time till the piece cut out becomes dry
and' Ontratted.t atier ;which they may be kept
in larger parcels, without danger or fermentation,
and in this state may be, preserved safely through
April or May.

The Board'has further to observe, that Should
the Premiums for Chttagers be approved of by
the Commit teg, advertisements should /tin/m.44W),
be printed; nod affixed to eveey Church and Cha-
pc:l door in the Kingdom.
They also beg leave to join to their Rcrort,
mother plan for extending the cult i v ation of l'o_
tatoes, which hav:Oten suggested by it distin-
guished Meniber oft' their Board, mut which they'
consider as Weil tOrthy of the att‘ution of the
Committee.
