.DASHEEN A TUBER
MUCH LIKE POTATO

The dasheen, root crop introduced
into this country from Trinidad with
In recent years by the United States
department Of agriculture, Is now
grown by considerable number Of
farmers and truckers in the south and
promises to become valuable men,
Der of the group Of domestic vegeta-
bles, such as the potato, which furnish
starchy foods. The dasheen Is itself
primarily a tropical plant. 1t can be
grown successfully, however, not only
in the warmer portions Of Florida, but
in other sections Of the south as far
north as South Carolina. The edible
portion Of the plant includes a large
central CORN and a number Of tubers,
Of much smaller size, attached to and
around the CORN.
In food value the dasheen is compa-
rable to the potato. though It contains
a small proportion Of water and a
greater proportion Of protein, starch
and sugar than the latter. The new
vegetable may be prepared for the Ia
bic as potatoes usually are or may be
made into -four and used In baking.
The dasheen is grown from whole
tubers weighing a few ounces. They
require q frostless season Of ut least
seven months with plenty Of moisture.

In other ways. The alternate freezes
