Potato Planting,

Having had some experience in the culture of
the potato, beg leave to call your attention to
one point, fact not well understood, | believe,
at least if SO, not generally practsed: that is,
that planting the large or prominent eyes only,
you will get a better yield and less small ones
have tried the experiment several times, and al
ways get the same result. | consider five single
eyes (as they called) the proper seed for hill
and would put the rows three feet and a halt
apart one way, and two and half feet the other.
When whole or cut potatoes are planted, the
large or prominent ones should take the lead and
will produce good sized tubers if no ether put
out but if the season be favorable, (say warm
and not too wet (the small eyes will throw out
stalks which much retard the growth of the 9TH
ers, and only produce small ones, if any at all.
If the latter part of the season should prove I'M
favorable, (too dry the product of the small
stock would not be worth gathering. prefer
potatoes being cut for seed to planting whole
ones midling sized one cut in three pieces, be-
ing much better than to plant it whole, as it
spreads the stalks in the hill, and many kinds of
potatoes containing large number of eyes should
be cut in several pieces, in order to have as equal
number of stalks in hill as possible
know this is contrary to the theory and
practice of many farmers but why not plant
dozen kinds of corn, or a whole ear, in a hill,
as to plant potato that will produce twenty or
thirty stalksl In one case, am answered that
you would get no corn; in the other, | an
swer, you get very few potatoes of any size COM
pared with what you would if properly divided,
besides wasting three times the amount of seed
necessary, if, as ] said before, it was properly
divided For my planting, | take the ewes sing
ly from the potatoes, with pointed knife for the
purpose and consider that | am doubly and treb-
| ly paid for the labor first, in the saving of the
bulk ofmy potatoes required for seed, Of which
not more than one-third is required as when plant
