Excerpt from The Potato as a Truck Crop This plant, which is now recognized as an important article of food, as well as an important commercial crop throughout the north tem perate regions of the earth, is of American origin. Among the New World plants which have been brought under cultivation since the discovery of America, this stands out as one of the most important, being second only to Indian corn. Taking the world over, the potato is probably eaten by a greater proportion of the earth's inhabitants than any other crop except rice. The potato early found a wide use throughout Great Britain and the northern portion of the continent of Europe. With the development of the New World it immediately became an important garden crop and its cultivation has kept pace with the increase in population until now it is distributed over the entire area of North America occupied by civilized peoples. It is a commercial product in Mexico as well as in Alaska. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Culture and Diseases of the Sweet Potato The time is rapidly approaching when, as a food, the sweet potato will share equal honors with that of the white potato. Although a tropical plant, its commercial value has been recognized by the American growers of the south who adopted it as an important money crop. Furthermore, it has become a staple food product in the average American home. The sweet potato is a typical truck crop, thriving best in light sandy loams. With this in mind, its future is unlimited. Texas alone possesses enough typical land to grow sweet potatoes for the entire population Of the United States. Moreover, many of the southern states such as Alabama, Georgia and others can produce sweet potatoes sufficient to feed the entire world. With this crop rapidly coming into prominence and as knowledge of sweet potato storage increases, thereby reducing the losses from rotting, the day is not far distant when we will be in a position to export and to ship sweet potatoes to many of the European and Asiatic countries where this crop cannot be profitably grown on account of difierence in soil or climatic con ditions. The present great drawback to the more ex tensive production Of sweet potatoes is its highly perishable nature, both in the field and in storage. It has been estimated by the Plant Disease Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture that in 1917 the loss from the more important sweet potato diseases was per cent Of the total crop, or a net waste Of bushels. In the foregoing estimate the losses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Child Labor and the Work of Mothers on Norfolk Truck Farms The so-called Norfolk section Of Virginia, comprising the counties Of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond, Isle of Wight, and York, is one of the most intensive truck-farming areas in the United States. Within a comparatively small territory produce is raised for Ship ment not only to the large cities to the north along the Atlantic coast but also to inland cities as far west as Chicago and St. Louis. Climate and soil combine to make the Norfolk area ideal for truck farming, and work on the truck farms is practically continuous throughout the year. Local farmers boast that the area produces 40 crops, and the day Sheets Of one of the largest Shipping companies of Norfolk provide columns for 42 varieties of vegetables and small fruits, with additional undesignated columns for other varieties. During the winter the hardier greens - kale, spinach, and collards are harvested. In January the ground is prepared for early crops, and cabbage and strawberries are set out. In February early potatoes, beans, and radishes are planted. March is the month for planting lettuce and setting out or transplanting sweet - potato Slips. Cantaloupes, tomatoes, and eggplants are ready to set out in April, and peas and cucumbers are started about this time. Throughout these early months radishes, lettuce, and cabbages are being gathered, but the rush season for harvesting begins in late April or early May with the strawberry crop and the early Spring vegetables and continues until melons and sweet potatoes have been gathered in August. Late plantings of many Of these crops are made during the spring, and in August and September the fall crops of kale, spinach, and potatoes are started.

Excerpt from The Potato in British Columbia The potato was introduced, probably in the latter half of the sixteenth century, into that part of the United States now known as Virgina and North Carolina. It was imported into Europe between 1580 and 1585, first by the Spaniards and after wards by the English, at the time of Sir Walter Raleigh's voyages to Virginia. It is believed that the potato was first introduced into Ireland in 1586 by colonists sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh, and was at first cultivated on Sir Walter's estate near Cork. The cultivation of potatoes then extended from this place to the poorer Irish classes and later into England. The cultivation of the potato in England made little progress and potatoes were scarce for many years. In 1769 the grain-crops Of France were a failure, threatening a national famine. Parmentier, a chemist, recommended the use of potatoes to supplement the grain crops. These were tested out and found to be so palatable that they soon became a staple food of the French people. In 1772 the potato was used to supplement the grain-crop of Germany also. In 1663 the Royal Society of London recommended the introduction of the potato into Ireland, as a safeguard against famine. By 1840 it had become the staple food of the Irish people. In 1845 the so-called late-blight disease was beginning to attract widespread attention, and it caused great loss in this year, both in North America and Western Europe. In 1846 it destroyed the potato-crop in Ireland, giving rise to a famine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
