BEAUTY POTATO HISTORY:
By NOAH HOLLOWELL

] have heard prating about the
extra fine Henderson county Irish
potato but didn't know it was rec.
ognizcd by a special name until
Mack Hooper, prominent farmer
of Mills River, told me that it was
known locally as the Beauty He
says the potato is remarkable be-
cause of being acclimated or nat
uralized to this section. He SuS-
poets it has great possibilities IN
the way Of Improvement. Its quail
ity doesn't deteriorate through
succeeding generations, which is
peculiar to some potatoes IN two
or three years. He thinks this is
true of about all Maine-grown po-
tatoeS. He says the Beauty has
been a standard, popular potato
for Henderson county for long
number Of years.
Who can give the genesis Of
the Beauty? Whence did it come
and when? Perhaps Uncle Tom
Osborne can staightcn us out on
this like he did the seed corn he
developed into Il prolific from a
one-ear variety. now beng mar
keted by Wash Lance.
