The lunch Yam Potnto.

In the line of vegetable novelties there
has been nothing in the past quarter OF
century that equals in value to the south
the bunch yam potato. Speak
ing of it's origin, II. B. Geer, in Farm and
Ranch, says:
The bunch yam sweet potato, as we
know II. originated in Lowndes county,
Miss on the farm of Mr.. James Harvey.
He discovered a curious plant among his
sweet potato vines one time, several years
ago. a plant different in leaves and IN
growth from the other vines. 1t had a
dark pointed leaf, and, instead OF run
ming, as the other vines did, 1t stooled'
or punched it's vines and leaves more
like the Irish potato, or like red clover.
Some few of its tendrils were 1ointed once
or twice, but they put out no runners, and
did not straggle about like the ordinary
sort.
Mr.. Harvey watched his curious plant
closely. and at digging time was agree
ably surprised to ind goodly cluster
of long, yellow tubers at the base OF IT..
These tubers, or potatoes, were of a most
excellent quality, sweet and good when
cooked So Mr. Harvey saved several of
them for seed and the next season he
planted quite patch OF his bunch vans,
as he called them. They grew and ma
tured like the original plant; and so 1t
came about, because OF their superior
quality and the ease with which they could
he cultivated that Mr.. Harvey discontin-
ned the planting of all other kinds of
sweet potatoes, and soon gained an en-
yiable reputation on his bunch vans, sell
ing seed potatoes and slips to his neigh
bors as well as TO others further away.
In this way the genuine bunch yam be-
came quite we'll known in Mississippi and
the adjoining states.
Another planter in Lowndes county,
Miss, took up the cultivation OF the bunch

and west. We refer to Mr.. =. c. Banks

on his favorite subject, the bunch yam.
We tried some of his potatoes three years
ago, and found them vastly superior to

The ORIGIN OF chnmnnrne.

This was the origin Of "hzz" The pfon-
eer maker OF champagne was a monk
Dom Perignon, cellarer at the Abbey az
Hautvillers. near Epernay who about the
year 1910, began to make experiments in
bottling wine of the district while in its
second state Of fermentation He soon
found that the corlSs made Of creased hemp
which were then IN general use, were ILL
suited to his purpose and he substiftited
the bark of that species OF oak now known
as the cork tree in England and the chem

ne succeeded in imprisoning the carbonic
acid gas which Is the cause OF effervesencc

fermentation of the wine in bottle TO rem

burst the bottles.

The Texas Farm and Ranch says: II
has long been preached TO farmers that
they must raise cotton, because they can
get cash for nothing else, and strange to
say, many farmers believe it, Whenever
they go to town, they see In every grocery
store barrels and boxes and crates of farm
produce brought from the north and west,
for which cash Is sent out of the state,
and for which cash is paid by the Gus
sumner And they also can see some neigh
Dor who sells truck rather than cotton,

money saved up to help the cotton farmer
