Christmas tree surmOunts the whole

BIRTH OF THE POTATO.
Tri. Centenary Year Of the IntrOduc.
tiOn Of This Tuber Into Ireland by
Sir Wnlter Releigh.

From the Chicago Record.
This Is the potatoes big year. Brit
ons are making elaborate arrangements
to celebrate the tri-centenary of the
potatoes introduction into Ireland by
Sir Walter Raleigh. The homage to
the tuber will be in the nature of fairs
and festivals.
In the latter part Of July. 1885, Sir
Walter dug q few hills on his estate
of YOughal. near Cork, and set out a
small patch Of potatoes. which he oh
tained from the Virginia colonists, who
had left the mother country in 1884.
For a century and half the Irish po-
tato was regarded as garden plant
only.
Since 1746 the plant has gradually
made its way to the important position
1t now occupies in agriculture. Like
the chrysanthemum, civilization and
experiment have had the effect to pro-
duce many varieties which differ In ear
illness, size, form and color.
