当高产抗病的土豆传到法国时,法国农民并不感兴趣。为了提倡种植这种土豆,法国当局花大力气宣传,优良土豆仍被冷落。于是有人出了一个怪招。在各地种植土豆的试验田边,有全副武装的哨兵日夜把守。 French peasants were not interested when the high-yielding and disease-resistant potatoes came to France. In order to promote the cultivation of such potatoes, the French authorities have made great efforts to publicize the fact that fine potatoes are still being left out. So someone out of a strange trick. Near the experimental field planted with potatoes, there are guarded sentinels guarding day and night.
