Potato Culture.

EoRTn KNOXVILLE, March 18th, 1871.
Mr. Edfior.-- the season Of potato plant.
log Is nj hand, and the crop Is one of the
staples Of the Lake Shore region. allow Inc 10
say word or two through your paper, for
The benefit Of those who are engaged more or
less largely, In this branch of farming. In
this climate and soil, one Of the most
profitable and important crops the farm.
er can cultivate In my opinion Is the
potato crop, and one also that Is very much
neglected by our farmers. In raising stock
for market and for stocking our farms every
one is aware and mostly act on the theory Of
improving the various breeds Of horses, sheep,
hogs, and other kinds Of cattle. In planting
oats, corn. wheat, etc, the farmer Invariably
chooses the very best kinds and qualities OF
grain but in planting potatoes, frequently
the refuse and smallest potatoes are chosen,
those not fit Tor market or the table. This j.
mistaken economy.
The new kinds Of potatoes, such as the
Early Rose, Early Goodrich, Gleason, and
other yarities, which command high price in
IL arket both for seed and consumption arc
obtained from the potato ball or directly from
the seed of the potato, and innumcrable varie-
ties and qualities can be obtained in this man.
ner. BY taking the seed from the potato-bhl,
the first year quite a variety of small potatoes
or tubers can be obtained which being cuiled,
selected and replanted the second year the
tubers will attain quite a respectable size, and
by third planting the finest qualities Of seed
potatoes can be obtained 1t would be found
profitable by every farmer TO thus keep renew
ing from the seed of the potato ball, and IN
this manner keep yearly on hand quantity
Of perfect, vigorous and fully developed tubcrs.
If any one will take the trouble to closely
scrutinize his crop of potatoes from year TO
year which are grown from the same kind,
he will find the quantity Of them de-
tcriorating each year. and will entirely run
cut or be unit for market or home consump-
tion. Also, every one in planting should
select tubers which are fully matured, and not
those which are small, lily developed, and OF
feeble constitution. 1t is also advanced by
some who have experimental, that the best
and largest potatoes are raised by whole po-
tatoes 1t is ut least Il fact we'll demonstrated
that potatoes should not be cut into very
small pieces when planted. The reason given,
and it is logical, is that you thereby rob the
seed of certain amount of nOurshmt t
which the bulk of the potato would give Il G
plant. 1t is also fact well demonstrated
that to plant small potatoes will invariably
give yield of small potatoes, and should no
more he made rule than to select your
scrubbiest and smallest cattle us breeders
The culture of this crop should be well
studied by all farmers, and every endeavor
made to improve ii, as next to bread the po-
tato is our most important article Of diet.
Yours truly,
