chuno, or chunyo, in much the same manner
today
1t was in 1719 more than century after
Sir Walter Raleigh made his voyage on which
the old myth said he discovered the potato
that that vegetable actually earned the right
to be called Irish" Then some Scotch-Irish
colonists settled in New England. bringing
with them potatoes for planting. previous
Importation from England by way of Bermuda
was, however, made in 1921 or 1922.
But the potatoes of Peru were not all white,
although until recently only the white variety
has been planted and cultivated and developed
into a marketable product in Europe and
America.
The natives of Peru enjoy potatoes of many
shades-white, pink. red, yellow, and even
deep shades of purple which are almost black.
The particular favorite there is the yellow
potato, which they also call the egg potato
and the butter potato, because of its rich
golden color and soft butterlike texture 1t
will not grow in the irrigated gardens of the
lowlands, but is found ON terraced farms high
Up on the slopes of the mountains-way up
almost to the snow line.
For this reason, and because the plants re-
fuse to produce many tubers to the vine. it
sells down in the cities at very high price
and is considered great luxury. Unfortu-
nately, from the point of view of North Amer
lean tastes, this potato has very deep-set eyes,
with prominent eyebrows" making peeling
a wasteful operation.
A new chapter IN the history of the yellow
potato was opened in 1899, when young
man named David Fairchild was lucky enough
to be taken for trip around the world as as
sistant to- that patron saint OF plant introduc-
ton, Barbour Lathrop. They found in Peru
the yellow potato, and brought it back to the
United States for the Department of Agri-
culture.
It so happened that this was the first PERU
Wan potato importation recorded by the Divi-
sion of Foreign Plant Introduction Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. In fact, it was one
of the early introductions after that division

1ngs, not of the Virginia sweet potato but Of
the round white potato.
He claimed to have received one of the tubers
from Virginia, and was so proud of it that
he had his portrait appearing in the book
holding in his hand a blossoming potato vine.
Gerards description of the of the potato
is interesting to those who know them only as
boiled with butter or French fried" He sug-
gested that
''Of these rootes may be made conserves no
1esse toOthsome, wholesome and daintie, than
OF the flesh OF Ounces
''These rootes may serve as a ground
foundation, whereon the cunning confectioner
or sugar baker may worke and frame many
comfortable delicate conserves, and restorative
sweete meates.
''They are used to be eaten rosted in the
ashes; some when they be so rosted, mfuse
them, and sop them in wine: and others, to
give them the greater grace in eating, do
beile them with prunes, and so cate them.
And likewise others dresse them (beng
first roSted) with ollie, vinegar and salt, every
man according to his owne taste and liking:
notwithstanding, howsoever. they be dressed,
they comfort, nourish, and strengthen the
bodie'
This confusion of two American plants by
Gerard was probably the basis for two similar
legends to the effect that Sir Walter Raleigh,
Sir Francis Drake took the white potato
from Virginia and planted it in Ireland.
No one knows Just when the potato was
really introduced into Europe or by whom, but
it was probably taken over there by Spanish
explorers who learned from the Indians of Peru
Of its value as food
ONE Pedro de Cieza de Leon wrote in his
~ journal in 1888 or thereabout of the
papas, which he said was "a kind of ground
nut, which when boiled becomes as soft as a
cooked chestnut but which has no thicker skin
than truffie"
Cieza told also of how the natives dried the
papas in the sun. These dried potatoes, which
they called chuno would keep all the year
round. The Indians of Peru prepare their

became an organized unit for the Office was
then less than a year old The men in that
Office quickly became interest in it, although
it seemed to have no commercial future.
Since then the yellow potato has been
brought and sent to the Department of Agri-
culture by many different persons. Dr. Wilson
Popenoe was another great plant explorer who
saw promise in this bright-colored vegetable.
ConsuIs representing the United States in vari-
GUS parts of South America have sent SAM
pies of it home as curiosity or as an inter-
estfng possibility for Northern farmers.
But lately a discovery by chemists gave to
the yellow potato new value in addition to
its excellent favor.
A yellow color in vegetables and other food
products denotes the presence Of vitamn A,
the vitamin of growth. and preventive of GER
tain type of eye disease. Thus carrots, yellow
corn, eggs, squash, turnips contain vitamin
A, as do also many vegetables, such as spin
ach, where the yellow is hidden by the green
of the chlorophyll.
Do yellow potatoes contain vitamin A. nutri-
ton experts asked themselves. The answer
was soon found. They do contain vitamin A.
and this gives them distinct advantage over
the familiar white spuds.
The advantage is so large that when this
discovery was made, scientists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture felt we'll rewarded for the
efforts they had made to breed an entirely new
potato, made to order for the American market
and the American dinner table taste.
First it was necessary to change the rough
gnarly skin into one smooth and perfect. The
delicious flavor must be retained Or improved.
The yield must be increased. Cooking and
keeping qualities must not be overlooked.
Finally, the yellow color which was found to
accompany the precious vftamin must not be
sacrificed

Mr.. Kauffmanns conclusions regarding the
merits of the statue also worthy of re-

Few things are easier to do or more COM

some wculd-be wits to allude to 1t as being
pretty much everything that q work Of art
should not be. But notwithstanding all ad-
verse opinions the group Is yet not without
considerable merit. Unfortunately, it lacks the
size necessary to give 1t due impressiveness;
but not a few admirers and excellent judges

pirate delicacy for your dinner table on
St. Patricks day-our old friend the
Irish potato in up-tO-the- minute 1888
style with creamy yellow color, new
delicate flavor, and the addition of that
present day requirement, the growth-promoting
vitamin A.
This cclorful addition to tomorrows menu
Is also symbol of today's agricultural prog
ress.
For the farmers problem is no longer the
question of how to produce enough food to fill
the hungry mouths of a growing population.
Today there is plenty-perhapS more than
plenty.
The progressive agriculturist now is anxious
to improve the quality, rather than to increase
the quantity, of his products, and to develop
new crops suited more closely to the needs and
tastes of the consumer.
This new yellow potato was bred by scientists
of the Department of Agriculture as one answer
to this demand To Dr. c. F. Clark of the
Bureau of Plant Industry belongs particular
credit for the achievement.
The yellow potato is not sweet potato. 1t
is just as Irish" as the Murphy although
neither one came originally from the Emerald
Isle. Their first home was on the terraced
farms Of Peru and Bolivia.
THE name Irish potato is, indeed, wrong on
two counts. This vegetable is not the
"BatatuS' of Virginia. That name belongs
properly to the sweet potato. It is, correctly
speaking. the "papas" of the Peruvian Indians.
And neither, of course, is it Irish, except by
adoption.
The confusion of both names and plants
was first maze by botanists of the time of the
early explorers who knew little of either vege-
table except from hearsay.
John Gerard, who published his famous
Herbal in 1897, wrote one of the first scen-
tific descriptions of the potato. He called it
enormously Potatoes of Virginia-Battata
Virgtniana" although his Illustrations were draw

quent about this time, although the crime was
punishable with Imprisonment or death. Upon
one occasion one Of the coaches was stopped
near Philadelphia by three armed men who
ordered the nine passengers TO alieht and stand
in line. One Of the robbers then mounted
guard" the story goes, while the other two
made the terrified passengers deliver up their
money and their watches, and then rifled the
mail bags. They were soon afterward arrested
tried, convicted, and one was sentenced to i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, while the other
two were condemned to be hanged Fortunately
for one of the culprits, named Wilson, he had
some years previously at q horse race near
Nashville, Tenn, privately advised Gen Jack
son to withdraw his bets on q horse he was
backing as the jockey had been ordered to lose
the race. The general was very thankful for
this information, which enabled him to escape
a heavy loss, and he promised his informant
that he would befriend him whenever an op-
portunity should offer. When reminded Of this
promise after Wilson had been sentenced to be
hanged. jackson promptly commuted the SEN
tence to 10 years Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary.'
PRESIDENT JACKSON believed that to the
victor belong the spdls and carried this
belief to such m extent that upon one occa-
sion he lost the services Of one Of his cabinet
members, Postmaster General Mclean of Ohio.
Mclean, who had held this ONCE in the pre-
ceding administration well as in the cabinet
Of President Monroe. was urged by Jackson
to make q clean sweep. including the removal
of several Of his most e41eient subordinates,
because of their political action during the
preceding presidential campaign. when even
Mclean was recognized as . Jackson man,
that finally he was forced to oppose his chief
and flatly told the President that If he must
remove those postnasters who had taken an
active part in politics, he would also impartially
turn out those who had worked to secure the
election of Gen. Jackson, as well as those who
had labored to re-elect Mr. Adams. To this, We
are told Gen Jackson at first made no reply,
but rose from his seat, putting away at his
pipe, and. after walking up and down the
floor several times, stopped in front of his
rebellious Postmaster General and said: "Mr.
Mclean, will you accept q seat upon the bench
of the Supreme Court?" and Mr.. Mclean said
Yes" and Maj. William T. Barry of Ken
