Farmers Hold Mass Meeting and May Organize to Secure
 Curing Plant

Marion, January 30.--(Special.)-- There was an enthusiastic mass meet ing held at the courthouse yesterday, at which there were several hundred progressive farmers from different sections of the county, together fifth q large number of the leading business men and bankers of Marion, for the purpose of discussing the proposition of perfecting an organization to put in a sweet potato curing plant here. Also they discussed cooperation with the farmers throughout this county in growing potatoes at a profit.
 M. s. Corr acted as chairman of the meeting. John Blake, J. Percy Day and T. E. Wood of the Alabama Sweet Potato company of Selma addressed the assembly, setting forth many in- teresting facts as to what they were doing with the industry in Dallas county. A committee of 10 representa- tive men was appointed to canvass the county, looking to the perfecting of the organization, and there Is little doubt but that it will materialize. A large portion of Perry countys soil is especially adapted to growing po- tatoes.
 "A farmer" declared MT. Blake, "can make more money on potatoes at 25 cents bushel than he can growing cotton at 25 cents pound under weevil conditions" {.

Chicago, January 3O.-The tercentenary of the planting of the first potato in the United States will be next December, ac- cording to pr. Berthold Laufer curator of anthropology at the Field museum here.
 The potato entered this country" Dr. Laufer said in an address before the American Association for the Advance ment of Science, mot as surmised by de Candolle, through an alleged band uf Spanish adventurers, but in a perfectly respectable manner from Bermuda, where it had been introduced some years pre- viously from England
 Tt is a prank of fortune that the po- tato, originally a denizen of Chile and Peru, appears as a naturalized English man in the United States. The potato had arrived in England about 1886 or a little later. For a long time the belief was entertained by botanists that the openauk, described among the wild roots of Virginia ny Thomas Hariot in 15SS, was to represent our potato. This specu- ulation is erroneous. Data from the His tory of the Bermudas now make it per fectly clear that the potato was one of the plants which at that time and uns:i then Chat is 1S2D Virginia had not
