The world over it is a main food
crop and, with the exception of rice,
is known to more people than any
other. 1t is extensively used for the
manufacture Of starch. We are Just
beginning to use it in the textile
industries, in the manufacture of
woolens, linen and silk goods. But
We are using it for the manufacture
OF glucose, sirup. candy. dyes, potato
flour, industrial alcohol, mucilage
and stock feed, and newer uses are
coming up each year.
Now that we have realized that
1t is important to save every bit of
food value in our foods, so that we
may obtain all the vitamins they
contain. more potatoes are being
boiled with their jackets on, and
many people are even eating the

and then softly dropped to the
ground and ran. He knew 1t
wouldn't be long before those dogs
found his tracks, and it wasn't. But
it gave him time enough to reach
and climb another tree. great
chestnut that would not be easy for
the hunters to climb.
Farmer Browns Boy looked very
foolish as he climbed down from the
young hemlock tree to join the
others. At least he tried to look
foolish as the other hunters made
fun Of him for letting Bobby Coon
get away. He wouldn't for the
world have them suspect that he
had joined them in their hunt so
as to save Bobby Coon. No one
would have guessed 1t to have seen
the eagerness with which he led the
way to the tree at the foot Of which
the dogs were now barking.

produces five times as many pota-
toes as We do, because so per cent
of her crop Is used for stock food
or for conversion into starch, alco-
hol or other industrial by-products.
Actually the potato is closely re-
lated, botanically, to tobacco, ben
bane and belladonna, as well as to
the tomato, eggplant and capsicum.
This plant is a native of Chile,
Peru and Mexico. One form of it
has been found in Colorado.
The potato was introduced into
England by Sir Francis Drake in
1886, and by l84o it had become so
important in Ireland that it was
substituted for the cereals and other
similar food crops, as the yield was
SO much greater from the same area
of ground.
The cultivated "spud" of today is
far different from the ones intro
duced into Europe by the Spaniards
1t Is said that our first potatoes
were slightly larger than walnuts
Today, we have some that easily
weigh half pound or more each.
There are many acceptable ways
Of serving the potato and there are
many varieties of potatoes devel-
oped for growing In different types

another. But there wasn't tree
near enough to this one for him to
do that.
Nearer and nearer came Farmer
Browns Boy. Bobby's heart seemed
as if it would pound to pieces with
fright. He felt so hopeless. He kept
still as long as he could. Then,
almost without knowing what he
was doing. he began to climb down.
Yes, sir, Bobby Coon began to climb
down. You see, he just could not sit
still second longer, and as he
couldn't 60 up he had to 60 down.
Up went Farmer Browns Boy and
down came Bobby Coon. One was
on one side of the tree and one on
the other. Was Farmer Browns
Boy going to be stupid enough to
let Bobby Coon pass without seeing
him? Bobby almost held his breath
as he got so near that he seemed
Evening star., 1942-09-05

to be looking right into the eyes
OF Farmer Browns Boy. He knew
then that Farmer Browns Boy did
not see him. There was no doubt
about it. Bobby didn't know whether
to go on or to stay where he was
and fight as best as he could if Farm
er Browns Boy tried to hurt him.
He drew back his lips so as to show
his teeth, his sharp, white teeth, and
he started to growl And just at
that very minute he saw something
in the eyes of Farmer Browns Boy
that made him change his mind.
He didn't know why. but somehow
he had feeling that Farmer
Browns Boy didn't want to hurt
him and didn't mean to hurt him.
Bobby kept right on down one
side of the tree while Farmer
Browns Boy kept on up the other.
Bobby waited until he saw . chance
Evening star., 1942-09-05

they couldn't see him, and in spite
of his terrible fear a little hope be-
gan to grow in his heart.
But when at last Farmer Browns
Boy began to climb the tree hope
went out and despair came in. If
Farmer Browns Boy kept on his
way to the top he was bound to find
him. Bobby knew that. And what
could he do? Nothing. Just moth
ing. Anyway, that is the way IT
seemed. OF course he might jump
to the ground, but there were those
dreadful dogs waiting for him. If
there had been but one it would
have been different. There might
have been just wee chance that he
could get away. But with two there
simply was no chance at all. If
only he had chosen q tree little
nearer to other trees so that he
could have crossed from one to

When hope goes out, despair comes In
And then the battles hard to win.
Do you know the meaning Of the
word despair? 1t means the feeling
that there is no hope. not the least
bit of hope. 1t is dreadful feeling.
Bobby Coon knows all about it. It
is a feeling which makes you want
to let go and not try any more, Or
else do something very desperate,
which means something which you
would never think of doing if you
had any hope at all.
When Bobby Coon. looking down
from his hiding place near the top
Of the young hemlock tree in the
Green Forest, saw that the hunters
knew by the barking of the dogs
that he was in that tree terrible
fear clutched at his heart. Still he
did have little hope. He knew by
the way they walked round and
round the tree that they couldn t
see him. The branches of the young
hemlock were thick and the light
from Mistress Moon made the shad
| ows very black. 1t was where the
branches were thickest and the
shadows were hlackest that Bobby
was hiding. So as he watched the
hunters walk round and round, all
the time looking up, he knew that
