Frosted Potatoes Make
Poor Seed Says Jackman
Are those potatoes satisfactory
for seed which were partially fro
zen either in pits or in the ground
during the October cold spell last
fall?
This is a question many Oregon
farmers are now asking, advises E.
R. Jackman, extension agronomist
at Oregon State college. The mere
fact that a potato will sprout is not
an indication that there was no in
jury, Jackman warns, as the eyes
may be unhurt while the tuber has
been damaged to the extent that It
will decay quickly after being plam
ed, causing a weak plant
Jackman suggests that potatoes
subjected to freezing be sorted be
fore being used for seed. Each tu
ber is tested by cutting a thin slice
from the stem end. Those cutting
without the characteristic brittle-
ness of the normal potato had best
be discarded. Badly frozen pota
toes occasionally show no other
signs except that the knife slips
through them easily and without
any noise. Any black or darkened
areas in the flesh or a distinctly
discolored vascular ring just under
the skin are indications of frost
damage.

Isn't It odd how we keep putting
off things that should be done?

get his work In, so that it can be on
exhibition for Open House.
Open House is an annual event
of the school. It is a time when
your whole year's work is exhibited
for your parents to Inspect Per
haps many of us are taken home
and given a. severe lecturing, and
even more of us get a feeling of
shame when we look over our own
work. However, It makes very lit
tle difference If our parents are not
interested enough to come. Maybe
they would rather stay and fuss

Electric ranges are reasonably
priced! Electric rates are low!
How happy you'll be and how wise when you
decide to change to electric cooking. Once your new
electric range is installed, every meal will be a
pleasure to prepare. You'll know such "delightful
cleanliness, speed, convenience and economy. And
just a snap of a switch will give the amount of heat
you desire.
With a gleaming electric range in your kitchen,
you'll have an appliance that you'll not only enjoy
using; but you'll also have one that you will like
to look at and show your friends. (How they'll envy
you il they don't cook this modern way!)
Save meat by roasting
it the electric way!
Meats prepared in the oven
of an electric range taste
so much better and shrink
less because proper, accur
ate oven heat can be main
tained so easily during
roasting. Oven tempera
ture control ends oven
watching assures success.
