There are nearly 100000 900 potato
eaters in the British isles, and the
majority of them do not get full value
out Of the tuber because of bad cook
ing and the culture of bad varieties.
This year has seen a remarkable re-
crddescence of the attempt to produce
perfect English variety. It has been
successful in at least three new sorts,
and their disease resisting power, their
fruitfulness and their eating qualities
have led to extravagant prices being
paid for single tubers-prices which
range from $500 to $4,000 a ton.
