The foregoing tables are an abftra& of the refult 
of experiments, made by ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, 
minifter of Kilcalmonell, in Argylefhire, on different 
methods of planting potatoes, in the years 1790, 
1791, 1792, 1794, and 1796, witli a view to difco- 
ver whether it is more beneficial to plant them large 
or fmall, whole or in pieces, and to afcertain the dif- 
tance at which they fhould be fet in the row. 
Similar experiments were made in 17933; but fome 
inequality in the foil, which was not obferved in due 
time, rendered them not fufliciently accurate for the 
purpofe in view. 
‘There is a feparate fet of experiments made in 
1794, and the purpofe of which will be obferved by 
infpetting Table 1, for that year, and attending to 
the obfervations which refer to it. 
Each of the experiment rows in 1790, was 75 yards 
in length; in 1791 and 1792, 200 yards; in 1794 
and 1795, so yards. ‘The numbers prefixed to the 
rows in 1794, table 2, and in 1795, point out the 
order, or juxta pofition, in which they were 
planted,
