Wendt County Commissioner R. A. James County Commissioner fTSmali ?jpqAround By Lynn M. Watkini King of the Vegetables Ii the Common Potato The real Horatio Alger of the entire plant kingdom would seem to be the common potato. No other member of the plant world has ever equalled the phenomenal growth in edibility of this plant known as the white potato. Of all vegetables few, if any, equals it for universal appeal, rea sonableness in price and availability. Mr. Potato is about as important as a vege table can be. It is really not Irish at all, unless it is called that because of the extensiveness of Its acreage in Ireland, or the fact It furnishes the bulk of the food for the Irish people. Ac tually, the white potato had its origin In Peru, It was cul tivated for food and was called the "Apple of Peru." A Spaniard by the name of Pedro de Leon shipped many bushles of the fleshy tubers to Spain sometime in the 16th century, from which point the potato spread to all of Europe and to Ireland. And all this happened about a hun dred years after a venture some sailor by the name of Columbus sailed for what we are now proud to call America. In New World Some early settlers to the New World brought some I seed potatoes, sometime around 1720, and the first po tato patch was planted some where In the state of New Hampshire. The popularity of the potato was as rapid in the new world as was its adoption In the gardens of Europe and every pioneer garden had potatoes, grow- ini! alongside tne jnaian maize. The potato, along with the abundance of wild game, fed the early Americans and made possible an America such as we have today. This prolific vegetable prac tically saved the German peo ple from starvation during two world wars, and prob ably ranks, even today, a: one of the principal foods of Germany, Ireland and most of the Balkan countries. The white potato belongs to the family of plants known as the Nightshades, related to the tomato, eggplant, and even tobacco, in tne outer skin of the potato Is a mild alkaloid poison, which close ly resembles nicotine that Is a part of tobacco; its libera tion during cooking is wnai gives the characteristic, and sometimes very pronounced odor, usually noticed when potatoes "are cooked with their Jackets on." Deficient in Fats Potatoes are deficient In fats, but very high in starch, ! and water content; for this reason they are avoided by many people who fear over weight; but in spite of a mild boycott by dietists and port ly folks, the lowly potato is easily recognized as the most popular vegetable in the en tire world, and that covers a whale of a lot of territory. It probably would be con servative to say that the over whelming majority of Ameri cans eat potatoes at least twice a day, year in and year out; which accounts for a tre mendous tonnage of potatoes. The annual crop in trie United States alone Is some where near, or perhaps over, the billion bushel mark, which certainly couldn't be considered "small potatoes." And this vegetable has ac complished all this In a com paratively short time.
