THE ALLiEn r‘orAro
The words “sweet potato" make us
. expect the potato to be sweet in flavor.
‘ {And so it is. Likewise the words
“irish potato" makes us expect the po-
tato to be a native of lrelan‘d. llut it
’ isn't.
Fact is, it was carried to Ireland
from our own country three hundred
years ago. But it was so universally
adopted there and so largely used as
. the principle food of the peasantry.
not the "irlsh potato."
‘ A long. long time ago the Spaniards
went to South America and discover~
ing the white potato there, they sent
, some to their friends in Spain. From
here they were sent to Italy. then to
Belgium and finally to France. So that
the mob potato might now well carry
the name of almost any of the allied
countries.
‘ Poor 'France will have had but few
potatoes this year. Her men are too
busyfioiding the line to plant their
eras. Her ground is too soaked with
the" blood of battle, too torn with shell
holes to be of use"
J America has plenty of potatoes on
hand and is ready to plant a larger
crop than ever this year. Because of
icir bulk and because they sprout
and spoil. they cannot be sent abroad
easily as wheat 'and ‘the cereal
stunt. ' «i
‘ The "Irish potato" should become
alie“:fAllied potato" during the pres-
nt wheat shortage.
