The EARLY HIS
TORY Of the
POTATO

An old authority gives the follow
lng interesting account of tho early
struggles of the potato before it won
its present leading place in the
worlds bill OF fare:
"The name OF this family, solanum
was given by Plny and others, al
though the derivation is uncertain.
Some derive It from Sol the sun.
Others say II Is Suanum, from sus.
being supposed to be of service in
disorders of swine; both conjectures
are improbable.
1.-THE potato, now so generally cul-
tivated in Europe, appeared at the
end of the sixteenth century, as a
curiosity I'm botanic gardens Ger
arde Gin, t597 informs us that he
received roots Of It. from Virginia,
otherwise called Noyembega, which
grew and .prospered in his garden as
in Informative country. He calls Il
Potato OF America or Virginia to dis
tinguish IL from the Spanish potato
which was then much better known
and called exclusively potatoes, po-
tatus or potades. from the Spanish
name Batata.
Though It be pretty clear that
the potato came to us from Virginia
yet Il does not follow that II is orr
ginally indigenous of that country;
but It is morep robable that It is a
natiev of Peru, when the Spaniards
might have it Immediately.
"Cieca. Camera and Acosta inform
us that in the neighborhood of Quito
there is a plant with tuberous roots
called papas, OF which the inhabi-
tants make a sort OF bread and they
also eat them both boiled and roast

to be not the Spanish. but our COM
mon potato; as also those which the
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1919-12-18

planted about London, and then it
was considered merely as ararity.
AT a meeting of the Royal So
ciety, March IS, 166S,63. letter
was read from Mr.. auckland, Som
ersetshire gentleman, recommending
the planting of potatoes in all parts
OF the kingdom TO prevent famine
This was referred to committee,
and in consequence of their report
Mr.. auckland had the thanks of the
society; such members as had lands
were entreated to plan them and Mr..
Evelyn was desired to mention the
proposal at the close of his sylvia.
81 do ont find that his truly pat
riotic gentleman complied with this
desire, or that he has mentioned the
potato, except in the appendix to his
'Acteria,' where he says that the
small green fruit, being picked, is
an agreeable sallet. But the root,
being roasted under the embers, or
otherwise, opened with a knife, the
pulp is buttered In the skin and sea-
soned with a little salt and pepper
Some eat them with sugar together
in the skin, which has a pleasant
crimpiness. They are also stewed
and baked in pies. etc.
Mortimer in his Monthly Kalen-
dar says the root is very near the
nature of the Jerusalem artichoke.
but not so good or wholesome, and
that it may prove good food for
swine.
Bradley in 1920 speaks OF pota-
toes as roots of less note than horse
radish, radish, beets and skirret.
In the North Ridingo of York
shire says Mr.. luke, the reporter
for that district, 1900, potatoes
first became an object of field hus-
bandry here, not more than forty
years since; before which time they
were little known beyond the garden
of the gentleman; within that period
they have got universal possession
from the table of the rich to the
daily board OF every cottage; with
all the lower orders, they constitute
the most essential article of their
sustenance; and at this time there is

THE potato which was so COM
mon in Italy in and before the six
teenth century was doubtless the
Spanish or Convolculus Batatas; or
II is said to have been eaten as COM
monty with mutton as turnips or par
ships, and even to have been used
for feeding hogs. If this had been
our common potato how, as Clusius
remarks, could the knowledge OF this
root have been so late in coming to
US; and how could they have been
ignorant OF II at Padua till he sent
lit to them from Frankfort
"Clusius himself owed his first ac-
quaintance with the potato to Philip
de Sivry, Lord OF Walhain, ETC., in
Flanders, who sent him two roots,
with the fruit, to Vienna in the be-
ginning of the year 1888, ana the

December 10. 1898. informs us that
the potato was then scarcely to be

Twas so great relief to the people
OF England; but here was a store
OF Jerusalem artichokes; which root
seems TO have been almost as COM
monty cultivated in England at the
end of the sixteenth and beginning of
the eighteenth.
1t was cultivated I'm France about
, the year 1742, but in 1749 it was
treated with great contempt both in
the country and at Paris and left
wholly to the lower people. After
wards, however. 1t became quite the
fashion for time and then fell again
into disrepute. In 1771, NJ. Faiguet
presented to the Academy OF Sciences
a loaf of bread made ofwheat, rye,
an potatoes in equal quantities. In
177S NJ. Parmentier made bread of
potatoes only.
"The potato made its fortune in
Germany much sooner. Bread is
said to have been made with IL there
as early as 1881. I saw It cultivated

not probably one article in the pro-
duce of the country that could not
with less inconvenience be spared
than the potato so universal is its
use, so cheap and nutritious the food
that it affords.

that it was not till some time after
the middle of the eighteenth century
that the potato came to be generally
used as an esculent root through the
greater part of England.
so little attention was paid to the
improvement of this plant that Mr..
Miller in his first folio edition of his
dictionary in 1868 and his last quar-
to edition in 1771 makes no mention
of any varieties except those which
occur in all the old authors; namely
one with a red root and another WITH
a white root
ITO enumerate all varieties which
have been raised from seed would be
useless, because they are continually
passing away and giving place to
others that have more favor, if not
more merit for a time"

More Width Is the Decree Of
Leaders of Fashion.
Extensive Choice Will Be Allowed
Wearers in the Selection of Fa-
Vorite Goods and CoIors.

The phrase that sums up the new
fashions for the autumn is more
width" There is a very distinct move
ment on foot to get away from the
narrow, CONSTRUCTED styles. Paris never
adopted the lead-pencil silhouette with
its long tight skirt that was used by
some American houses. To the easy
width that they have been using they
have added even more fullness, in
tunicS, circular Skirts gathered
skirts and hip draperies. The most
distinct departure in the styles is the
circular tunic, circular fOunce and cir
cular skirt This new cut not only
gives more width, but a new silhouette,
because there is flare at the bottom.
For street dresses these skirt styles
will be used in tricOtine, soft twills,
lightweight duvetyn, serge, gabardine,
brOadclOth, checks and plaids. The
same materials will be used for the
chemiSe dresses which Paris goes on
creating with fresh variety and inter
esting details in the way of new vests,
tucked skirts, etc. For afternoon
dresses the SmarteSt materials will be
the satin-fnished silks like satin, char
meuse and crepe meteor. Faille and
mOire will also be good, because they
have a certain stiffness and body
which accents the new silhouette.
Taffeta will be used, but will not be as
fashionable as satin. These same silk
materials will be employed for evening.
for the theater and for dancing
dresses. For their most formal eve
ming gowns older women will use the
velvet and metal brocades and metal
cloths, while young girls and debu-
tantes will use tulle, chiffon, georgette
on net as well as the soft silks and
satins.
For day dresses there will be the
short sleeve, the open neck, either
collarlesS or with one of the new stand
away or plated collars, the long
blouse, the redingOte styles, the use of
multitucked skirts, versions of the
vest, and the draped hip-length body
that suggests the line of the figure.
The wide circular skirts are used
for street dresses, afternoon dresses
and evening gowns, but not for suits.
For the suit there is slightly wider
skirt with straight lines, but with no
unnecessary width, which would be
burdensome in walking. For the suits
the coats are also cut on a straight
silhouette, even when there is the eff
feet of soft fullness that you get in the

ASTOR GIVES HIS SONS MILLIONS

Deeds of trust have been filed in
the registrars office in New York city
on behalf of William Waldorf Astor,
conveying all of his real estate in New
York city, or elsewhere, to the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust company as trus-
tee in trust for his two sons, Waldorf
AstOr and Capt. John Jacob Astor.
No statement could be obtained
from Viscount Astor's lawyers as to
the cause of this big transfer, but it is
evidently in keeping with his policy to
escape heavy inheritance tax law,
which is 5 per cent on bequests over
$1,OOO,OOO.
Under the transfer in trust are
land and buildings valued at more than
$50000,O0O, this would mean a saving
to the estate of $2,5OO,OOO in inherit
ance taxation.
Among the more valuable proper
ties transferred are the Hotel Astor,

He WENT TOO FAR
Baby Elephant Suffered for His

Trick That Was Too Much for Moth.
er's Patience to Endure Reward
ed by the Equivalent to a
Sound Spanking.

In a recent exchange it is stated
that elephants are amazingly like hui
man beings in the way they discipline
their young. In proof it tells an anus
ing incident seen by a French traveller
in an extensive lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants were
faithfully at work the youngsters
played about the yard. The elephant
that attracted the travellers particu-
lar attention was hauling, in her chain
harness, huge tree trunks from the
bank of the river. She had a heavy
load, a fact that her offspring did not
realize. Bent on playing a prank, he
wound his little trunk around one of
the chain traces and pulled back with
all his strength.
Conscious of the suddenly increased
weight, the mother stopped and looked
around. She saw the youngster and
shook her head solemnly, but, paying
no further heed to his teasing, bent
again to her work. Meanwhile the
little rascal with his mischievous trunk
had loosened the ring that fastened the
traces to the load.
While the mother vas straining to
set her burden in motion again, her
rascally son pulled with all his
might against her, and pulled so
| sturdily that she was quite unaware
that she had been disconnected from
her load. Then, suddenly, the young
ster let go. Naturally enough, the
mother was thrown to her knees and
her driver hurled in a wide circle from
| her back
The culprit sought huge wOod-pile
that seemed to offer him at least a
| temporary protection. His mother,
with her iron harness changing noisily
behind her, kept close at his heels.
Although the little ones greater
agility gained some space for him at
the corners, his mother eventually
overlook him. The first blow of her
trunk drew from him a bawl of pain.
| At the second he sank, quite humbled,
| to his knees; and then he endured
without a murmur, although with
many tears, sound thrashing. Finally
| the mother let him up. With tears
still streaming and with dropping trunk
he took his disconsolate way out of
| the yard.
The little fellow had won the COM
plete sympathy Of the observer. Con-
sequently he was overjoyed to witness
during the noon hour a touching rec
onciliation The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
| sinner; she caressed him with her
trunk, cuddled him up against her, and

BLACKS AND BROWNS AGAIN
ViVaI Of Popularity Hard
to Account for.

Why the recent vogue for black eve
ming frocks?
At the present time there is just
the right setting for colors so brilliant
and colorful-and gaudy, If you will
as to suit the most primitive of us.
Fact is, dark colors were put on the
shelf when the armistice was signed
and there was a striking showing of
colors of brilliant hue.
But these new black frOcks that a
good many smart women are getting
are rather different. They are of lace
and they are sometimes trimmed with
brilliant ribbon or silk sashes. They
are as diaphanous and as sprightly as
the wing of a dusky butterfly. Still
they are black, and it does seem
strange that one should want to wear
black when peace has come and sum
mer is here.
