SWEET POTATO PRAISES

While a tremendous amount of
publicity has been given during the
past few days to the Government
crop report and it's prodigious fig
ures on wheat and corn, little atten-
tion and scant space has been de-
voted to the joyful news regarding
the lowly Ipomea batatas, or
sweet potato of ordinary commence.
Six hundred and sixty thousand
acres of the tubers were planted this
year as compared with 100000 last
year, and the probable yield will be
100000 bushels, or an increase of
nearly eight million bushels over
1914.
Sixty-four million bushels of cpl
curean joy; and if we could multiply
the bushels by the number of
"sweets" in each measure, as Colonel
Sellers was wont to figure, the pos
sible demand for his celebrated eye
wash by counting two eyes to each
customer, we would reach some
where near the number of separate
pleasures which this years crop is
going to provide.
Boiled or baked, grilled or buried
in hot ashes, dripping with butter,
or shining with coating of sugar
the palates of thousand thousand
will respond to their delicacy.
1t should be a perilous year for
'possums, for the sweet potato and
the 'possum are coordinate and con-
junctive. The origin of the sweet potato
has up to the present been a secret
hidden from the Investigations OF
agricultural savants and botanical
sharps. The reason for this lies ir
the failure of these scientists tc
make use of their powers of deduc,
ton. The opossum (Didelphys Vir'
giniana) occurs nowhere outside OF
America. The second part of its
Latin name shows that it is founc
in greatest profusion and finest
quality in Virginia. Doesn't thai
prove where the sweet potato orig
mated? Of course, it does.
Where the best 'possums are, ma
ture gave birth to and developed the
only vegetable that can properly bt
eaten with 'possum meat. Nature
never fails and never makes a mis-
take. 1t may even be conjecturec
that the reason sweet potatoes
grow underground is because natur,
had to labor in secret for fear she
would make all the rest of the vege
table world jealous if it knew what
she was doing.
The best authorities believe thai
Shakespeare, when he referred tt
potatoes in the merry Wives o.
Windsor" really meant the swee
variety, but if he did not some mod
ern and sweet singer should chan
their praises in mellif1uous vers,
and what better occasion could ther,
be than in this year of a bumpe
crop?

novel OF this name created a favor
able sensation when it was published
fifteen years ago and the dramatiza-

which Wilton Lackaye registered the
greatest triumph of his career. 1t
