Where Potatoes Came From

The potato is a native OF Peru.
When the spaniard first visited the
west coast of South America they
found this esculant cultivated by the
natives, although it grew naturally in
uncultivated places, wherever a sutfi-
cient degree OF moisture enabled the
plant to live. Tradition has it that
it was on the top of Mount st. Lo-
reno, the island in the harbor OF
Gallon, where the Spaniard found the
first potatoes, and from whence they
took the seed 20 Europe. When
Minister Hicks first saw the wild po-
tato vine on San Lorenzo he could
hardly recognize it. 1t was about
six inches high, with delicate little
vines, and n pretty blue blossom
scarcely larger than a violet, while
the potato on the roots below was
no larger than a hazel-nut. From
this Insignificant plant has been
evolved, by cultivation, the numerous
family of the potato, which, within
300years, has made its way to every
part Of the civilized world, and now
forms an important item in the
worlds bill of fare.
The minister's American ideas were
agood deal shocked one day when he
came upon n company of laborers at
work digging potatoes in field in the
valley of the Rimac. A team of oxen
plowed up the hills with n light pillow,
leaving the tubers exposed on the
ground. Six Indian workman picked
up the potatoes, and carried them to
IL pile in one corner OF the field, while
the overseer, a Spaniard, stood watch
ing the work. The men who were pick
ing up the potatoes had neither pail
nor bag nor box in which to carry
them. Two ofthem put the potatoes
in their hats, and the others carried
them in their hands, each one going
from every part OF the field to the pile
in one corner, carrying five or six po-
tatoes each trip.
