Planting Large and small Pos
fatOeS,

The results OF some recent expert
ments with planting large and small
potatoes, performed by the writer.
may prove interesting to readers
The small potatoes used were, in NO
instance, more than an inch and half
long, and would average about the
size of small plums. The large ones
were from four to teninches long, and
would weigh from half a pound to a
pound or more. Both the large aud
small potatoes were cut so as to leave
about the same number of eyes on
each piece. Cara was taken to plant
them when the ground was in a moist
condition, in order to prevent the dry
ing up of the small pieces. The large
and small pieces were planted in alter
nate rows, and after digging, the con-
tents of each row were placed in piles
at the ends; these piles thus repre-
senting alternately the large and
small seed, were then closely exam
ined by several persons, and not the
slightest difference could be perceived
in the size of the potatoes on being
measured, however, the large pota-
toes were found, in every instance, to.
yield one fifth more than the smaller.
The-variety was the Prince Albert
This result was the more striking. as
one of the rows planted with extra
lare seed Single potatoes of which
weighed as much as eight of the small
ones,) yielded no larger tubers than
the smallest seed. The crop, from all
the rows alike, was a good one, and
many of the potatoes, even from the
smallest seed, were from eight to ten
inches long. We tried this expert
ment but a single year; it is a com
mon opinion that if repeated fer sew
eral successive years-that is, if small
potatoes are selected successively. the
crop will ultimately run ont. We
have no personal knowledge of such.
n result, and it is worthy of careful
experiment. AT the anne time. the
series of trials here reported show
conclusively that farmers may use
ANAL seed for raising the main crop
Tor consumption, so far as the size Of
the potatoes are concerned, although
losing something in amount, and that.
on any supposition, a small portion
OF the field should be planted with
large potatoes for seed. As potatoes
are now high priced, it may be well
for farmers to save their small ones
tor planting and trial; and an hourl
or two devoted each year to q set of
experiments may give them results
of considerable practical value
They should, however, bear in
mind that small seed are often plan
ted ON the poorest portion of the field.
while the larger selected tubers are
given the best chance of the best Gull
tivat.on.
1t wonld seem that the chief advan.
tsge in large seed is in giving an
earlier start and stronger growth,
resulting in q larger crop but the ex-
pertinent must be repeated and varied
many times before confident results
can be reached--Counfry Gentleman.
