ORIGIN OF THE NEaHANNOCH OR
MERCER POTATO.

The following interesting piece of in
formation is contributed to the Prairie
Farmer, by R. Buchanan, Esq, of Gin
cinnati. We hope that those who read
Mr.. BIS article, will hereafter call this val
liable potato by its right name:
:" 1t is seeding Of Western Pennsyl-
vania. from the banks Of Neshannock
Creek, in Mercer county-hence its name.
| am a native of Western Penna., and
have been familiar with this potato from
boyhood. 1t was first made known about
fifty years ago. and was so highly valued
that many persons took it over the noun
tains in their saddle bags, on horseback,
for seed. In that way it was also intro
duced into the vicinity of Pittsburg, by
the late VIM. Anderson, who got it from
the farm where it originated.
" In the year of 1892, settlement was
made on the waters of the Shenango.
Neshannock and Mahoning, principally
by Scotch-Irish. The soil and climate
were favorable to the growth of potatoes,
and those from that region soon became
celebrated-especially the new Seeding,
the Neshannock."
