Terry's Book on Potato-growing 



In 1885 T. B. Terry gave an address 

 to our Medina people on the subject of 

 growing potatoes. I was astonished at 

 the story he had to tell; and I predicted 

 then and there that Mr. Terry was 

 destined to be soon known, not only 

 throughout Ohio but throughout the 

 whole United States. As the years 

 l)assed, my prediction has become veri- 

 fied, and i feel not a little gratified to 

 know that once in my life, at least, I 

 recognized genius when I came across 

 it. I interviewed Mr. Terry, and told 

 him he would have to put his talk into 

 book form. He did so, and the book 

 went all over the world, and was even 

 translated into several foreign lan- 

 guages. In eight years the edition was 

 exhausted, and a new one was called 

 for; and in 1901 a third edition was 

 called for; and now, after a lapse of ten 

 years, T have been exceedingly busy during the i)ast few days in going over it carefully 

 and jireparing for a fourth edition of 10,000 copies. And while I have that experience in 

 my mind, let me tell you it will i)ay almost every man, woman, and child to read Terry's 

 dotato-book, no matter whether you ever did or ever will grow any potatoes or not. If 

 you have read Terry's recent book, "How to Keep Well and Live Long," you will know 

 that he is a student of nature, and a delver after (Jod's gifts and God's secrets; and this 

 potato-book, on every page, shows his remarkable gift. He is a philosopher of modern 

 date; and his love for God's gifts, as well as his love for his fellow-men, shines out on every 

 page. Another thing, this book was written in the prime of his life. It was written with 

 the enthusiasm, energy, and strength of youthful manhood. His studies of potatoes, it 

 occurs to me, paved the w^ay in his explorations in his later work in regard to how we 

 should live, and keep our health. The new book will probably be ready soon after this 

 meets your eye. — Advance notice in Gleanings in Bee Culture by A. I. Root.
