FIND ORIGINAL SPUDs
LEADING WILD LIFE.

Thirteen thousand feet above sea
level in the mountains of northern
Ecuador, the region which is be-
lieved by scientists to be the cradle
OF the potato race. there has been
found a true wild species OF this
plant which is quite different from
the cultivated tubers. These dis
coveries were made by Wilson
Popenoe of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry. Department of Agriculture.
Our own large, developed pota-
toes would be just about as proud
of these mountain murphies as Mr.
Bryan is of the anthropoid apes;
for the Andean variety from which
our own has sprung is too small to
be of economic Importance. Plant
breeders in this country, however,
hope that tests may show charac-
teristics which will make II worth
while to combine them with our
cultivated kinds by crossing. The
wild tubers produce seed rather
freely, but also are subject to one
of the potato diseases of which
their cultured brothers are often
victims.
