FACTORY MIS CiT

Inducement for Industry
OPERATING AT BEAVERTON
J. E. Gri flith, of the Company, in
Town Recently, Talks
J. K. (irillith, of the Pacific foa
Polalo Starch Co., having a fat
lory at lieavei-tnii, was in the city
the ollu r day. He will, in Hi
not distant future, take up th
matter of a factory for llillshoro
lili company t ikes all the cull
potaloi-H and pays the top price
lor tliciu, giving a farmer imiri
than In: would realize on them in
stock food values. In talking
over Hit- potato starch ini ustrv
Mr. (irillith says:
in tiie ,-iiaie oi wrcgoii, am
especially in the Willamette Val
y, we are at present mostly in
terested in the potato industry.
Inking the world over, tin
common or so culled Irish potato
is prohalily eaten by n greater
proportion of the earth's inhabi
tants than any oilier crop, except
nee.
i lie general use oi potatoes in
ii i -
the nverage family, and the bet
ter customs prevailing in manv
homes in preparing the tubers
or food are based on sount
economic ami dictif reasons.
Potatoes, however, while a val
liable niltlitioii to a mixed diet
alone are not suitable to meet
the In i tl . of the bodv because of
their poverty in protein and fat
iich is lost in the preliiig for
iling or frying. Theoretically
speaking, the skin is the only re
luse matter in the potato; hut in
the pet ling ahout ! to l i per
cut of the llesh is removed wit!
it. W bile the skin itself has lit-
food value, the part lying next
o it, varying from one-twelfth to
one-littli ol an men in thickness.
oiitains a high percentage of
mineral matter, such as .Soluble
"arhohyilrates, Soluble Nitrogen
ous mntterand acid substance.
The waste in preparing is more
important than Is generally real
ized, and can be overcome by
inverting the potato through a
method of evaporation into pota
to starch, potato Hour and potato
meal. "
The benclits derived through
this method retains sullicient
larch in n readv form ami con-
lins mineral substance of impor
tance to the bodv. A fact less
generally known that tends to
make the tissues of the body al
dine, ?o counteracting lite
ndeiiev of meats, eggs, tish and
ike foods to create acid condi
tious.
Since the body does it's work
est when it s condition is either
natural or slightly alkaline, it is
cry important that we retain
those lost values so far as possi-
ile through the utilization of the
nils or unmarketable potatoes.
Within n radius of Portland there
is a potato acreage of approxi
mately S.000 acres, with an esti-
atcd yield of 6 tons to the acre,
making supply of 40,000. It
is been estimated by the far
liters. Mint in Harvesting oi inis
rop for the market, 25 percent
r 10,000 tons are discarded ami
Down as culls. These culls eon
