History of Potato Interesting
In spite of the name Irish pota-
to, white potatoes did not origin
ate in Ireland as you might sup
pose. They were first discovered
in the Americas, particularly in
Chile, Peru and Mexico. Their use
spread rapidly in Europe during
the 18th and 18th centuries until
entire countries such as Ireland
came to depend on them for a aasic
supply of food.
With the introduction of pota-
toes, Scurvy seldom occurred in
Europe unless the potato crop fail
ed. Scurvy is caused by lack of
Vitamin G. We are accustomed to
think Of scurvy as prevented only
by citrus fruits, tomatoes and raw
vegetables. All of these sources
are much richer in Vitamin G than
potatoes. However, potatoes are
an important source of this vitamin
because that which they do contain
is multiplied several times by their
frequent serving.
Potatoes Contain Iron
Potatoes contain iron, which is
essential for red blood This min
eral, so important to well-being, is
likely to be low in economical
meals. The richest sources of iron
are liver, leafy green vegetables.
prunes, dark cereals and eggs. AS
with Vitamin G, potatoes are not
such rich sources per ounce, but if
we figure what a penny will buy
or how many potatoes a person
will eat, we see that potatoes furn-
ish an inexpensive supply of iron.
Ac ording to the State Board of
Agriculture Delaware produced
434, 900 bushels of potatoes in 1910.

Farmers are now making a spec
ial effort to sell their surplus po-
tatoes. This is an excellent oppor-
tunity for you to purchase this

permit the easements to open wide.
And since we are speaking Of
curtaining easement windows, this
is a rather formal treatment for
them. Curtains made of casemen,
cloth or a heavy cotton fabric with
rings sewed along the under side
at the top, six inches apart, are
often used. These are hung from n
brass rod, placed across the top OF
the window frame, just above il.
or in line with it, if it is a metal
easement. The length should be to
the bottom of the easement. This
is a most satisfactory method Of
curtaining as such curtains may be
drawn across the window at night
and replace window shades. By
the rod an inch longer than
the window opening on each side,,
the curtains may be pulled to the
side to let the easement open freely.
Such a treatment is essential with
steel frames. Those illustrated are
wooden easements, and therefore

sequently, the 261st is not expected
to arrive at Fort DUPONT for per-
manent station until February 4 or

have new barracks, now nearing
completion, for their quarters dur
ing the year of training. AS soon
as the First Engineer Battalion

and a chorus OF 500 voices.
CoWpony racing will replace the
thoroughbred events OF past years on
Tuesday and Wednesday at the fair.
according to Stewart, and the husky
voiced secretary anticipated larger
race day crowds for the amateur
riders and their cowpony mounts.
Livestock Sale
Thursday is junior livestock day
which will be highlighted by the
annual All and FLA livestock sale.
A large increase in Junior livestock
entries is anticipated due to the
construction of the new FLA barn
which will permit the housing of
twice as many animals 1T the fair
grounds.
Friday night, according 10 Stew
art will be japanese night and the
final Saturday and Sunday will be
turned over to the directors OF the
annual Imperial County Fair horse
show, the event which has extracted
the largest number of entries OF
any division in recent years.
Prize money for the horseshoW has
been boosted to nearly $4,000 and as
result larger representation from
the coast is expected to compete
against local champions. Valley
horses and horSemen carried off a
large chunk OF the prize money
last year, despite the invasion from
the coast.
Singular Growth
The growth of the horse show
has outStripped even the progress
OF the fair itself As short a time
ago as four years the horse show
was merely one of the side attrac-
tionS at the county fair, but during
the past three years the horse show
has moved up from just another
event on the program to Che feat
ure program of the final two days.
More than score of other events
are crowded into the program OF the
nine-day exposition, including the
All parade, the Al demonstration,
the horse pulling contest, the farm
bureau program, tie amateur con-
test, the queen contest, the queen
coronation, music by the imperial
Valley Boys band, miniature avia-
ton show, the grammar school Or
cheStra, All orchestra, glee cub and
the junior livestock parade.

Building Improvements, erected
since the close OF the l940 eXpoSi-
ton, total approximately $4,000 and
include a new junior livestock barn
new dressing rooms Tor rodeo and
vaudeville performers. additional box
seats, a root for the grandStand and
a pergcla around the fish pond.
Other improvements
Other improvements include new
fencing, Iepainting OF the horse ana
barn and commercial booths, new
canopy in the exhibit building, fin
shed IN blue ard gold, the state
colors and a general Encouragement
OF outdoor implement exhibits.
An elaborate program of events,
destined 10 draw more than 10000
persons through the turnStiles. has
been planned and will be featured
by frontier celebration scheduled
for the iirSt Saturday and Sunday.
Cowpony races, covered wagon
races, mock Indian battles and a
long list of other rrontier-d day feat
ures will be crowded INTO full two
day program.
The fair, which will run from
March l to 8, will be opened on the
morning of March first at 1890
when relay teams from FL Centre,
CaleXico and Holtville will
dash from Holtvilie to the fair
grounds. More than 100 youngsters
will take part in the l5-mile relay
race to compete Tor the honor to
open the gates of the 18th
annual Imperial county fair. Ell
Centre has won the race three sue
ceSSlve years.
San Diego Contributes
San Diego county will contribute
its support to the county fair on
the iirst Sunday instead of on the
last day as has been the custom
during the past decade. Dorman
secretary-manager, who al
ways has an eye on the business
end Of the fair operation, pointed
out that many San Diegans might
also be enticed to the fair on the
final Sunday under the new setugp.
Monday will be school day at the
fair and more than 300 rural school
children will take part in the an
nual pageant under the direction
af Carmen Gibson, county music
teacher. The rural children will

The farm Eouth of Imperial VAL
ley, as represented by the All club
and the Future Farmers Of America,
has proved to be a progressive unit
and the activity Of those youngsters
in making the junior livestock diyi-
sion of the Imperial county fair an
outstanding success Is certainly one
of the highlights in the building Of
the annual agricultural show.
New Barn
This years junior livestock show
will probably be the most outstand-
ing in series of outstanding shows.
A new barn has been erected for the
use of the FLA chapters of FL Cen
tro. Holtville, Imperial and BraWley
high schools, and the old barn, pre-
viously shared by the FLA and All
has been turned over 10 the Al
AS a result twice as many AMI
mails will be housed IN the junior
livestock buildings, representing a
tremendous increase IN the number
Of youngsters engaged in the farm
program and also representing a
step forward in the production Of
better quality animals.
The present trend in the Impe-
rial Valley toward livestock as a
diversified farm crop has aided in
increasing the interest in livestock
projects among the Juniors and more
pains have been taken TO obtain the
best possible stock for the annual
exposition showing.
Choice Animals
Buyers from the coast and from
several of the leading valley firms
who annually attend the junior
livestock sale, will be able 10 select

duced in any section Of the nation
according to vocational agriculture
instructors and 4-H directors.
Future Farmer and Ali club prof.
ects will include fair exhibits in beef
cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry, according to Dorman
Stewart, secretary-manager OF the
fair, through whose offices all appli-
cations must pass.
Biggest increase in entries will be
in the beef department but dairy
cattle and swine projects will also
show heavy gains in the number OF
entries. Sheep will remain about
the same as last year as will the
poultry exhibits.
Continuous Advances
Stewart, who has been in charge
of fair activities since the exposi-
ton was moved south from Brawley
u years ago, declared that projects
exhibited by the junior livestock
men has shown continued improve
ment during the history Of the fair,
representing increase interest
among young farmers of the valley
in a permanent agricultural pro-
gram here.
The tip, then, is TO take time out
when perusing exhibits at the fair,
and take a good look at the junior
livestock show. The future of the
valley and well venture it's a
bright one, is riding,on the shoulders
of more than 100 young farmers.
