Early in the sos, while General
Matthews was Prime Minister to
Bargash Bin Said, Sultan of Fan

Sultan forces. In 1883 it was he
who guided Joseph Thompson from

Facts About tho Potato

An authority tells us that the potato
has large and unique relationship.
Tobacco. tomatoes, eggplant and pep
pers belong to the family. Probably
that is why the potato bug is so often
destructive to these crops. 1t is asked.
"How can potato grow other potato
vines from the eyes since it is not q
root, fruit or seed?" That is answered
by way Of illustration: 4 stem of al
most any plant will produce another
plant from the place where the leaves
come out on it, If one will break OFF
a piece of roscbush and plant it in
favorable place it will produce another
rosebush, just as a potato will produce
another vine.
In a wild state the potato vine is
very hardy and will grow to consid
cradle height, 1t is said that the In.
