With tins year's nutaanal cr ji of Irish potatoes at an all time high, they have been appropriately designated as a “Nationwide Victory Food Selection" from Oct. 21 to Nov. 6, says Miss Smith, Putnam County

home demonstration agent.

The major pioblem in handling this year's crop is storage. Because commercial st a age is not sufficient

i rots once they gain entrance into the j

vegetable.

It is recommended that gardeners ] wait until the vines are dead before! digging potatoes, since late blight is prevalent, but after the vines are killed, these spares die. If potatoes* are dug while the vines are green,! particularly when wet with rain or! dew, the blight may spread to the I potatoes and start a rot that will! continue to develop in storage 1 Sweet petal es that are affected! with black rat disease should not be i stored. This disease shows as shallow | black cankers •m the surface, and in j storage not only rots the potato but ! spreads to other potatoes. After be- i | ing dug. sweet potatoes should be J j kept in a well ventilated place at a i ! temperature of 85 to 90 degrees F. 1 for at least 10 days. Following this I i preliminary drying, they may

ers can help the situation by buying | this easily stored food in extra large j quantities a bushel or more—and I storing them it home. A cellar, I closet, hack p-rch, or garage will do, just so the location is dark and | stays between Hi and (30 degrees. If the storage plare is light, a covering j of cloth or paper over the potatoes I will keep them from turning greenish and developing a bitter taste. Potatoes purchased for storage should be inspected carefully. Any which are decayed, badly bruised, or cracked

will not keep well.

Within its blown jacket tin* Irish potato stores important food values.' When potatoes take a prominent, part in the diet, they may supply a| good part of the day's need for vitamin C. They also provide some thiamine, iron, and other minerals as well as some vegetable protein and plenty of staich for energy. Because potatoes are i ::len so often, variety m preparation adds "spice''. Yet simplicity of preparation is the goal of all war-time cooking. Simplest of all cooking methods and those which save the most food value — are baking or steaming M e potatoes in theh brown jackets, then eating the jackets along with the potato. Extra potato, , -teamed in their I jackets, may he peeled and used in additional ways at later meals. When potatoes are pared before cooking, peelings should be thin and removed just before cooking. Peeling potatoes chi iy and soaking them takes away vitamins and minerals. In cooking, using only a small amount

of liquid is best.

“Here's how:" says C. A. Willaims, Purdue University extension dairyman. in explaining that Indiana dairymen miiy increase Hie daily milk production of their herd about 20 per cent, without additional cash outlay or extra labor, by following approved dairy herd management practices. “First,says Williams, "allow (■very cow a dry period of six to eight weeks in length: second, feed every cow some grain during the dry period, the amount depending on the condition of the cow and the kind and amounts of roughage on hand; third, feed the best quality roughage available during the dry period and for a short time after freshening; * fourth, do not allow the calf to nurse j its dam for more than two or three ilays, since high producing cows frequently tin j lL ,t leach Iheii inax-
