Substitute for the Potato.

The scarcity OF the Irish potato IN
the United States calls attention 10
It's Asiatic substitute, the dasheen. For
all practical purposes, the dasheen,
which is seldom larger than hens
egg. though more prolific than the po'
tato, may be regarded as a species OIL
Irish potato. For ages this tuber IN
varioas forms has been cultivated III
japan and China Planted in tho
spring, it is gathered six months Ia
ter and fourishes best in lands like
those OF our southern states upon the
gulf. The United States government
has been conducting experiments III
South Carolina. with the new tuber,
and our agents report that it yields
from twelve TO fifteen tons 10 the
acre. while its edible protein averages
Sc ncr cent. of the whole root, AZ
against the 50 per cent. OF the potato.
1t is not improbable that the next
few years will see the cultivation q
the new tuber in this country to q
large extent, especially throughout the
