Story OF Potato u8es Back First Vovuue Columbus r.

Some years ago. the sweet
potato was referred To- as the
Yam and that name has be-
come increasingly identified
with the rCUty fruit. Actually.
The name is completely wrong.
rhc real yam is an entirely
different plant that includes
some $50 species of climbing
vines with underground tubcrS.
True yamS are still a curiosity
IN this country.
The sweet potato UpOmoca
batataS) belongs To- the morn
mG glory family. II is a tubcr-
Gus rooted perennial. But this
moiSt-type sweet potato has
come TO be called Yam" in
this country and more Spcccifi-
Cally Carolina Yam" in this
section. And that monicker will
undoubtedly stick as long as
this dish finds its way to the
American dinner table.
The fact that Columbus ate
sweet potatoes on his first trip
to the new world indicates that
il was native TO America. But
ii is unknown in its wild state
and only uncertainty shrouds
its origin.
II is known that nine variet-
les were grown in Honduras as
