potato-'batata'. They are not much
like Irish potatoes except in the way
they groX"
How do they grow? On trees?"
asked the little boy.
Now. Jamie. who ever heard OF a
potato tree?" laughed his mother"
Haven't you ever seen the farmers
digging potatoes out of the ground ?"
'Oh, yes. of course I have" ad-
mitted Jamie. But there never seem
to be any plants in the field whore
they are digging"
mo. they let the plants die down
before the potatoes are dug. Potatoes
have to get ripe as well as any other
kind of vegetable. although in some
countries people eat them while they
are still unripe; but potatoes that are
not ripe are not good for people any
more than green apples are"
Why do you say 'unripe,' mother
Why don't you say green potatoes?
Isn't there any such thing az a
green potato?'
Eyes. but green potatoes are those
that have not been well covered with
earth; the light gets to them and
makes them green, and they are BIT
ter and unwholesome."

were good to eat They still grow
wild in~some places-Mexico, for one
place. But the wild potatoes are not
as large nor as well-fiavored. as the
cultivated ones. Early explorers
found potatoes in South America and
in the seventeenth century took some
over to Spain. From Spain they spread
to other countries, but they were not
considered much of a food. People
cultivated them in their gardens as a
kind Of curiosity. They were pretty
good food for cattle and pigs, people
thought. but as food for human be-
ings-why, the radish was considered
much better!
Finally, a man by the name of
Hawkins, a slave-trader, took some
potatoes to Ireland. The Irish people
found out that, potatoes were very
good to eat. and they began to raise
more Of them than any other Eu-
ropean country. If the wheat crop
failed, as it did once In a while, pota-

must b very hateful and cross and

wasn't true about Donald and Doris.
Perhaps the difference was because
the twins always walked to school IKE

difference, anybody could notice was
about their yard-and even that was
. nice difference for the twins seemed
