EZRA MEEKER TELLS
I HOW f 0 MAKE FLOUR
I OUT OF POTATOES
' ' . ' m 1 ' -
i . .
Pioneer of Oregon Trail Is Advo-;
eating Greater Use of Wheat
Substitutes. .
How Eira Mttktr,' pioneer of th Or
tn trail, is pioneering again In tha
manufacture of potato flour is related
by a food administration announcement
from Washington, D- C. as follows:
-'. Potato flour Is not a new product to
f!r. Meeker, for he manufactured, this
product for the Alaska trade years ao.
Sir. Meeker recently stated that a plant
-for handling potatoes can be constructed
for a Yew hundred dollars from'' material
obtanable anywhere in his section,
which is In the extreme Northwest.
' "A ton of 'potatoes." says Mr. Meeker,
: "wlll produce 80ft pounds of flour." The
Tocess he describes is simple and Inex
pensive. First the potatoes are washed
clean-, and then sliced with the peelings
ot attd dropped immediately Into clean
water to prevent discoloration and to
rinse them ; then, as soon as practir
cable. they are either - parboiled or
steamed from f to 10 minutes lone
enough to cook the starch wheri . the
slices Jose their opaque appearance and
become transparent. - The' cooked dices
are then transferred to a drier and for
the first few hours subjected to si cur
rent of hot air not greater than 120 Re
tirees Fahrenheit, after; which the tem
perature is gradually. Increased to 170
degrees, "but no greater, j i". jj '
The drying process Is continued until
the slices are brittle, though it is imma
terial if a few 'here and , there . are taot
thoroughly dried. .When taken, off . the
kiln, the dried product ,ls placed in a
compact pile1 in dry room and handled
over daily for, three or four days until
the pile "evens up." after which they are
ready for the mill to grind them into
potato meal or flour. if'
"A revolving washer a long box: , par
tially submerged - in water can ;be
cheaply built Ho easily wash a ton of
potatoes an hour. An ordinary root cut
ter, which may be purchased for 130 or
less, will answer to slice the potatoes,
but it is likely that - a more desirable
machine for slicing may be found on
the market. The average mill will cost
from $150 to $225 and up, but at present
can-not be obtained on short notice.
Mr. Meeker mentions one potato flour
plant at Yakima, Wash., that is pro
ducing 25 to 30 barrels. of flour a day.
In April this tlour was selling tor 121 a
barrel. f ,
. m
Brazil has remodeled its mining laws
with a .view to inviting exploitation of
its. scarcely explored and believed to be
very extensive metal deposits. f j

L Merchants and dealers of the county
met Wednesday in this city and pledged
County Food Administrator Charles E.
Wells that they would be a unit in en
forcing the provisions of the decision to
a man. The action of the meeting was
unanimous , and. as one dealer put it,
"whatever the government wants aad
needs, that Is what we will give."
Over 25 tons of flour will be turned
back, to the government and a list has
been made and forwarded to the state
lood administrator, whois authorized to
call on this reserve. A resolution was
unanimously passed urging the state
food administration to confine bakers to
the use of at least 40 per cent of wheat
substitutes in all breads.
