The First Potatoes.

Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
introducing the potato in England.
lived at Brixton, England, near Eliza
beth's House. Formby, in Lancashire,
also claims the honor Of being the site
of the first culture of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by a Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation Of the potato
in the British islands was probably at
Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland,
where this great navigator had an es-
tate.
1t has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that it was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condelle both lent the weight
of their authority to this view, but it
has been ascertained that the Indians
of Virginia, though they used a number
of tuberous roots, did not know our po-
tato.
One Of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberosa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our potato, being 4 native of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced In England as part Of the
cargo Of one Of Sir Richard Grenville's
ships and landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On the
voyage home, however, it had encoun-
tered and captured Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo. The potatoes were a
part of the cargo Of the latter vessel

met with goods that are put up in as
honest and attractive style as those
that are shipped from that section.
The remedy lies in the hands Of the
growers. If they desire to have their
fruit recognized as equal to California
fruit they must make 1t so attractive
in style and honest and uniform in
quality that the buyer or the consumer
will not make invidious comparisons
when he sees it by the side of the Cal
ifornia product Quality and flavor
will have weight In determining which
fruit to use, but If our home grown
fruits are put up In an honest manner
and undesirable varieties are kept of
from the market we can meet the COM
petition and hold our home markets.
This problem of handling and market
ing fruit is not one that can be solved
by individual effort alone. 1t requires
cooperation on the part of the various
fruit growers. One man may succeed
in establishing reputation for high
grade fruit, but at the best his reputa-
ton would only be local, whereas If a
large number Of the leading fruit grow
ers would combine and organize and
have their fruit put up in uniform
style and in large quantities by expe-
rienced packers, so that their brand
would establish a first class reputation,
the demand for their fruit would equal
IL not exceed that for the California
fruit. What we need to do is to organ
ize and do our grading, packing and
marketing in as businesslike manner
as the Californians.
Our growers must learn to utilize
their inferior grades at home and mar
ket nothing but the very best and IN
uniform packages. By SO doing they
will obtain more money than by plac-
ing the whole lot on the market. Ev-
cry grower should grow the best vari-
cites put them up in nice, clean, uni
form packages and place them in the
hands Of dealers who understand their
business. Let every package contain
full weight. The most important mat
ter after the growing Of the fruit is
the selection of the package in which
to send it to market. No fruit should
be sent in any but neat and attrac-
tive new package of the form and size
