The Peruvian Yam.


sweet potato than the old-fashioned
California or yellow yam, he never had
and probably never would. The old
yam stood at the very apex of perfec-
ton according to Southern taste. Every
Southerner liked it for it's sugary sweet
ness and it's waxy consistency OF flesh
with the "molasses oozing out" when
baked, and if a purchaser of sweet pota-
toes for table use he would take no other
if the old yellow yam could be had.
True, some Northerners, living in
section where frst-class sweet potatoes
can not be raised, sneered at it a little
from their semi-arctic homes, as too
sweet, and not mealy enough for easy
conversion into "mashed potatoes" on
the plan of "mashed Irish potatoes"
when boiled with "the Jacket on" but
it has always been readily noticeable
that when such persons had come among
us, and had been favored with an OPP
portunity of partaking of the old yam
baked on the Southern plan, that they
promptly evinced their capability Ct
knowing good sweet potato when they
had tasted it, by never appearing TO
feel that they had eaten enough.
But with all it's excellence and all its
deserved popularity, the old yellow yam
has never been the variety of sweet
potato universally cultivated in the
South. This might seem a little strange
at first though, but there is good reason
for it. The old yellow yam is not near
o productive as are some of the inferior
varieties; such, for example, as the ed
Hayti or Mus Grove, the Brazilian yam
alias hog choker, alias popular root, alias
Southern queen lat the North), the Doc
ley yam Texas yam in Texas) the mig
ger killer and so on. Comparatively
high fertiliZing is necessary to make
much out of the old yellow yam, and it
will not bear anything like the neglect
and ill-usage accepted by the inferior
varieties with fair returns. AS there
are men everywhere who 90 in for the
nUSb OI every CIC pOS0ADlC
outlay or pains, without regard to quail
ity, these inferior potatoes have always
found rather broad area of land "skim-
med" and ready for their accommodation.
OF course they were raised mainly for
home use-the men raising sweet pota-
toes for market found themselves under
the necessity of raising the OLD yellow
yam to make sure of ready sale for
their product.
Eventually another passably good
sweet potato stepped in as a rival of the
old yellow yam. and met with some
favor. 1t was large growing roundish
variety, thick skinned, with dark yell
low (almost red) flesh when baked, soft
enough and waxy enough to reasonably
we'll suit Southern taste, and having a
we'll developed pumpkin flavor. On ac-
count Of this peculiar flavor it was called
the pumpkin yam 1t never went into
very extensive culture, however, owing
to the fact that it was not so generally
liked as was the old yellow yam, and
owing to the further fact it was not
more productive, while at the same time,
it called for precisely similar conditions
as to richness of land and culture. 1t is

In Memory of Elisha John Hall.

At meeting of the Trustees of Brooke

various duties in connection with education,
Res0tged, That we desire further to record
our tribute to him as man and citizen,
AS man, upright, sincere and benevolent ;
as a citizen, Jealous, active and enlightened
in promotion of public welfare.
ReSOtoed, That as few of our fellow citizens
sustained so diversified relations to the COM

so widely missed, and whose loss will be
more sincerely and deeply deplored.

and published in our county papers, and
sent to his family as token of our respect for
