Penny ol the Long Island] Farm Bureau Insurance Service in Riverhead and he was kind enough to send me a groat deal of literature on the^subject. From a Jersey mos quito i am rapidly becoming a real Long Island Duck! “Long Island has been a producer of agricultural foods since the early year of the 17th century. Sturdy burgers from Manhattan carved out the first farm sites on it’s western end, in modern day Brooklyn and Queens. Farming also was the way of life of the second generation of Pilgrims who came from Massachusetts and Connecticut in 1G40 to till the virgin .ground of its eastern reaches. Their planting included corn, flax, fruits and many veg- XhuX irto t IH o ■wWitQ p o L t i- to; then a wild Peruvian plant in the process of domestilcation by -tlie Spanish. Two centuries parsed before potatoes became an important Long Island com modity. Immigrants from ' Ire land, where a potato crop failure triggered a disastrous famine, uiid from Poland, then and now a ma jor potato producing country, did much to promote and popularize potato growing on jlho. Island. Long Island soils, largely light textured and fast draining sandy and silt loams were ready made for potato culture. Also to the liking of the tuberous vegetable were tlie plentiful rain falls, aver aging over 45 inches annually plus a long frost-free gl-owing season with a climate tempered by the cool watem of the Atlantic Ocean and Xong Island Sound. Potatoes went from Peru to Spain, Central Europe (known as the “cock pit\ because everyone was always figlitihg over it), to Germany:; France, where it final ly became very fashionable then to.England-and over here withl Irish due to the famine of 1847. They were constantly being de veloped until they no longer re-; semblcd the original—which was like a ground nut—or cooked chestnut. Potatoes are not fat tening (by themselves)' and are Very nutritious! They contain less starch than rice, peas or lentils.
