SEASON OF 1881.

This last trial is the only one for nine
years that the seed was not cut and the
planting carried forward under my per-
sonal supervision. The one eve and two
and three eyes to a Pccc system of plant
ing in this case was u failure. Not much
over one half of the seed broke the
ground in termination; and part of
these in hillng slightly by II cvltivator,
were so small and weak, compared with
fuller seeding, that few slightly col
ored died. The balance under very
wet season here did not thrive. | have
not given the produce of the others be-
cause the figures would be of no value.
The one eye result is given to show how
great variation may occur under UNI
favorable conditions between ample seed
and deficient seeding. Many good far
mers advocate the Use Of one eye to "A
hill. Among the very few official trials
that have come to my attention, | have
seen two foreign tests, covering about
seven years each, wherein the effect of
cutting on the future vigor of the plant
was studied, with results against fine
cutting. One eye and small potatoes
gaye less favoroble results at the Ohio
Experiment Station last year than whole
potatoes.
! think II entirely safe to affirm that
light seeding Of potatoes, or the use of
small potatoes or seed, will result un-
fortunately in ordinary hands on ordin-
ary soil in ordinary fertility, especially
If deeply planted. The reasons for these
views rest mainly upon the facts that
the tests show them good, and that ,th.-
oretically. Judgement approves them.
The young plant receives no nourish-
ment, except from the seed used until
tho leaf appears above the ground. At
the usual depth of planting, this period
is so long that no inconsiderable sup
port is derived from the seed. before
otbcr sources supply the plant. The

Table pOtalOc, means, IN above state
mrnt, all potatoes above the size Of Il
large hens egg.
The growth Of the tops in the early
season displayed more difference in fa-
yor of large seed than the harvest midi
cation, showing that u vigorous leaf at
the early period Of potato growth is of
much Importance. This difference has
been noted every year Of the trials.
The following table will give the av-
cragc results for the fouryrars succeed
ing the above period and on more
elaborate scale. 1t was sought in these
trials to ascertain whether the cutting
of the potatoes, or of the Use of small
POTATOES affected the constitutional vig-
or or impaired the yield in after years
by using the descent of small or of cut
potatoes for seed. For this purpose, the
product of small potatoes were saved
and small seed or potatoes from these
were again used for seed. This process
continued for four years for each meth
cd of seeding, i. c. large potatoes We're
selected from the product of the seed
of large potatoes, etc, for each sort.
Small seed potatoes will mean pota-
toes under the size OF Il hens err and

there was n mistake Of 100 made against
the Fusion electors, and the certificate
sent to Jefferson City shows the Fusion

in fact their plurality is 297. Many
mistakes like this in New York, if tn ey

would give large plurality to either
