A curious conversation, the substance
of which we borrow from the Cosmos,
took place at the late sitting of the Societe
Central d'Agriculture on the history of
the potato. Marshal Valiant stated that
he had found treatise, dated l749,
containing some very curious partic-
ulars about that tuber, and that,
consequently, it was a mistake to
say that Parmentier had been the first
to introduce il into France, since all he
had done was to extend its cultivation.
NJ. Boussingault assented, and said that
Parmentier found potatoes in field on
returning from the siege of Mayence. On
his return to France, he took great
pains to recommend their propagation
us an aliment NJ. Huzard quoted the
pastoral of bishop of the l7th CEN
tury, recommending the cultivation of
the potato to the whole of his diocese.
N. Pa, en- acknowledged that Parmentier
had no other merit but that OF conquer
ing the prejudices then existing against
its adoption as human food. Indeed the
article Pommes de terre in the "Grand
Encyclopedia" (l765) says the potato
is eaten by the peasantry in various
provinces, but that it is a coarse and
indigestive food. Such was the belief at
the time; and Parmentier succeeded in
destroying it by curious stratagem
Having sown field with potatoes, he
had it guarded by gendarmes, giving out
that the plant he was rearing was u
rare aud delicious exotic When pub.
lie curiosity was sufficiently aroused, he
gradually neglected all precautions; so
the peasants of the neighborhood used
to go by night and steal few tnbers in
the field; their taste was found excellent,
aud in short time their cultivation
spread, and the rich people began to
have potatoes on their tables. This was
greatly owing to Parmentiers activity

so valuable that he Immediately intro
duced the cultivation of the potato into
his own dominions. The courtiers, of
course. initiated his Mujesty's example,
and thus the neglected plant rose into
high esteem. In Germany, the potato
was introduced about ITO, but only a.
