Irish Potatoes
The lowly “apud" take» many
form» bealdea bring maahed. boiled
and fried In Maine alone, an aver­
age of 3 (XX),000 bushel» go into
»lurch
Moat of this 1» used for
sizing the fine count warp thread»
In the cotton textile Industry. In
1934, a peak of 5.319.000 bushel»
were used for »lurch.
Much of the high grade edible
sturch was Imported before the re­
cent war and new factories are be­
ing built In this country to improve
the quality ot the American prod­
uct There 1» no doubt but that the
present chaotic conditions of the
world have helped the United State»
to become more »elf sufficient. In
the calico printing industry, our do- ,
mestic starch is now being used in
place of a foreign Import.
One
plant in the United States is making
nitro-starch, an explosive which is
made extensively in Europe.
In Maine, experiments are under
way to use the potato in making
plastic compounds. So far the idea
is still in the laboratory stage but
chemists believe that |hc potato
may have a future in this field Such
an outlet would use profitably the
culls and second grade potatoes
which are usually wasted.
Another use of the potato, so far
not tried here, Is the making of fuel |
alcohol as a substitute for gasoline
and kerosene.
It was developed
first in Germany.
No crop produces as much food
per acre as the prolific potato plant
where yields of 200 to 300 bushels
are common.
The lending potato
growing sections are Aroostock
county, Maine; Long Island, New
York; the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
Red River Valley of Minnesota and i
southern Idaho.
Maine produces
about one-seventh of the 45,000.000
bushel crop annually.

Poultry Ration
BATTING
EYE
Any of the common grains may
be used with good results in the
poultry ration so long as the mix­
ture contains at least three different
grain». This makes it possible to
substitute cheaper grains when
some of them are too high in price.
The thing to remember is that oats
are an important part of the ration
for chickens of all ages, and that
where yellow corn is not used, it is
necessary to supply additional vita­
min A in alfalfa or cod liver oil.
