until they are dry this expofure gene rally caufes them to have a bitteiifh tafte and it may be remarked that potatoes are never fo fwcet to the palate as when cookd immediately aftei digging i find when potatoes are laid and left in large heaps or pitted in the ground that a fermentation takes place which de troys the fweet flavor of the potatoes in order to prevent that fermentation and to preferve potatoes from locfing their original fine and pleafant flavor my plants and which exper ience proves to me to have the dciired effect to have shem packed in calks as they are digging from the ground and to hve the cafk when the potatoes ate piled in them filed up with fand or earth taking care that ibi is done as fpcedily as pofiible while the potatoes are digging and that all vacant paces iq the calks are filled up by the earth or fand the calk thus packed holds as many potatoes as it would was no earth or fand yfed in the pa king and as the vacant fjfflcesof the crfk of potate fo
