B—Eat lots ti I potatoes. First to help sustain the price to encourage the growing of another big crop next year. And secon-l : ly to save bread. That was the advice i of Harry E. Barnard, Indiana food ad- j ministrator. given to Hoosiers through the United Press. “Potatoes taste better today than ever before.” explained Barnard. During the months when they werescarce that they were real luxuri we learned to appreciate them. Now that they are cheap again we find them more satisfying than before t'ie long days when they were absent from the table. "The potato crop will be very large this year for in spite of the high price of seed and the scarcity of labor, t. great potato states of Maine. Michigan and Wisconsin planted a large acreage which has been cared for so faithfully that only an unexpected disaster can prevent us from harvesting one of the largest potato crops on record. And besides the effort of the real potato growers, every amateur gardener who planted a few hills in his ba k yard has contributed to the total crop “Potatoes will be cheap. And cause they are cheap we should •“at them eagerly. There are two reason for this. We must help sustain the price and willingly pay the reasonardemand of the farmer in order that .v may be induced to grow another large crop next year. We must also use tin potato as a starchy food for eo ! peck of potatoes we eat saves sevetal loaves of bread. Large potato elle ’ are not great bread eaters. The! not need the bread. They .'get ,tl ' starch and mineral salts in an lent form in mashed or hoiled or ba ed potatoes. “And so in your saving renienithat every potato you eat toda' by a little more wheat with wlikh win the war.” — . — 1 — EPWORTH LEAGUE Lesson: The place and purpose the League.
