Department of Agriculture Thirty million bushels o f potatoes, the estimated surplus of last y<*r’s crop, must be eaten before July 1 or they will rot. Potatoes are a «•heap food now in most places. A t two cents a pound they are equal in food value to bread at eight cents a loaf. Every potato eaten saves wheat. Fifteen hundred home-demonstration agents o f the United States department o f agriculture and the state agricultural colleges are ready to push the potato along a well-paved way. They are teaching how to use mashed potatoes as a substitute for wheat flour in breads and pies and cakes; they are giving instructions in the making of potato loaf and scalloped and baked dishes. They are showing women how they can train their families to eat potatoes cheerfully three times a day. In the cities the gospel of potatoes for patriotism is spread through the war kitchens, the neighborhood centers, the clubs, the churches, dem onstrations in settlement houses, talks before Red Cross auxiliaries, etc. Potato booths are being arranged in the local food shows and in the retail stores and the schools and clubs are being enlisted in the big drive.
