Bewilderinq Spud

Many years ago, tbs said, the
British introduced the potato into
Ireland, in the hope that its in
habitants would adopt it as a
staple food. But the Irish fought
shy of it in droves, until the willy
English put guards and fences
around the fields. Whereupon the
Irish rose to new heights in strate-
gems for poaching and pilfering
the tasty tubers.
|. And over the years they've
learned to respect it for its stub
born fighting heart as well as its
eating qualities.
For, as j. j. Sehring of the
Finley district could tell you,
the potato just won't be baked.
If it can't grow one way, it will
another. This week, Sehring dis
covered one of his potato vines
producing spuds both above and
below ground.
Faith and bejabbers, maybe We
can stop diggih' 'em and start
pickin' 'em.
