THE CUMMING POTATO

Another stem was cut from grow
ing plant and planted in the sand in
the same manner as the first, save that
the part of the stem buried in the sand
was perfectly smooth and without any
node whatever. This plant was also
literally watered and curiously watch
ed by the scientists to see what steps II
would take to reproduce it's kind.
But the potato was not to be baked:
that faculty, or whatever it is. in po-
tato that corresponds to human rea-
son seemed to have set actively to
work to provide some alternative way
to reproduce its kind as soon as the
plant discovered that there was moth
ing of :; node kind below ground from
which it could sprout new potato
The result of this plant mentality was
soon evident; in a short time there ap-
peared at the first node above ground,
the point from which the first branch
grew from the stem, small potato.
be barely alive this potato grew rap
idly to a maturity. 1t was small IN
size. but perfectly formed and with the
"eyes' necessary to form new potato
plants. AS soon as this was done the
whole plant rapidly died.
1t was noted that not only did the
plant appear to bestow all its nutrl-
ment-save what was barely enough to
keep it alive-upon this single potato,
but also that from no other node did 1T
attempt to grow Il potato. 1t would
seem as though it realized it had but
small strength and short life in those
unfriendly surroundings and hence,
like a mother who will starve herself
to keep her offspring alive, gave all Its
strength to bring its one poor little
child to maturity.
