GIVES HINTS IN
POTATO BUYING
Handsomest Spud Not Al
ways the Best Different
Varieties Necessary for
Various Cooking Methods
There Is a, "how" to everything.
Including such a eomonplace task as
buying potatoes for dinner. Every
housekeeper knows, for example, that
sometimes the handsomest potato Is
Just a gay deceiver. Under his smooth
snd plausible surface he may be hid
ing what the experts call literally
"hollow hesrt," and still worse,
" blackheart." But for the matter of
that, even a perfectly sound potato
may not meet all your requirements
In other respects. So how do you
choose your potatoes?
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture spends a good deal of time on
potatoes. Its Bureau of Home Eco
nomics tests the cooking qualities of
potatoes, grown under different con
ditlons. They are potatoes of the
common market varieties, but they
develop differently according to the
soil and climate In different places
and under different methods of cul
tivation. The Bureau of Plant In
dustry works lor Improved varieties
of the favorite types of potatoes, for
better ma. Sods of cultivation and
seeks means of preventing potato
diseases. The Bureau of Entomology
fights off Insect pests. The Bureau of
Agricultural Economics sends Its in
spectors into the potato -growing sec
tions of the country to examine and
certify, on request of the shipper,
the grade of potatoes produced.
Bureaus Tell Origin
All this Is done that we may have
better potatoes to eat, and so that
we may get the quality we pay for.
Hero are some of the things these
bureaus tell us:
At this time of year, the "late" or
"main crop" of potatoes Is on the
market, shipped In from about half
the states in the Union. Last year
Maine shipped, all told, more than
40.000 car loads, and Idaho shipped
more than 25.000. From Colorado,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska. New
York, North Dakota and Wisconsin
came shipments ranging from Ne
braska's 6700 cars to New York's
8200. This year the crop Is much
larger In the east, especially in
Maine, New York, and Pennsylvania.
It Is the northern tier of states that
grow the late, or main crop potatoes,
which are harvested in the fall and
stored to meet the winter demand.
This late crop amounts. In fact, to
more than three-fourths of the
whole.
The "early" crop, young "new" po
tatoes, begins to come to the city
markets from Florida and Texas In
December. By May, or at least in
June, shipments of the "early" crop
will begin coming from Louisiana,
Alabama, the Carolines, Maryland.
Virginia, and other southern states,
to supply the spring and summer
markets.
"Green Mountain" varieties are the
leaders of the late potatoes In New
England, northern New York, Long
Island, and New Jersey. The "Rurals"
are the varieties grow best In most
other sections of the North. The fa
mous Idaho "bakers" are Russet Bur-
banks longer and usually larger
than the other types, the Green
Mountains being more or less ob
long, the Rurals more nearly round.
Early potatoes, the quick matur
ing varieties that are grown In the
warmer climates, are for the most
part "Irish Cobbler." "Triumph."
and "3pnuldlng No. 4."
Idaho Spuds Shipped Far
In your local market you will
doubtless see potatoes advertised by
the name of the state they come
from probably your own or some
nearby state. Idaho potatoes are
nearly always so labeled, and often
cost more than home-grown pota
toes, because they must be shipped
long distances to find their big mar
kets. This Is often true also of Colo
rado Brown Beauties and Red Mc
Clures. which are popular varieties In
the Middle West.
But how do you select potatoes
when you go to market? Partly by
their appearance, of course. You
want them sound, smooth, shallow
eyed, and reasonably clean, for the
dirt is unattractive, even though It
does not injure the eating quality,
you don't want potatoes that are
sprouting, wilted, leathery, discolor
ed from sunburn or other cause, or
affected in any way by rot or insects
or disease. Nor. If you can help It.
do you want mixed varieties, for they
differ In cooking quality and you
will want the name cooking quality
in any one lot. But when poatoes
have "hollow heart." you cannot de
tect It, until you cut them open.

Sometimes the hollow Is very small,
and causes little waste. Or it may be
very large. "Blackheart." which us
ually shows well -defined darkened
areas of the flesh, is highly objec
tionable. There are other causes, too,
which cause discoloration Inside the
potato.
(rade Is Protection
Against this kind of- defect, the
customer's best protection at .present
la to know how the potatoes are
graded for the wholesale buyer
since the stores do not, as a rule
thus far. carry grade labels for the
customer's direct 'Information. Pota
toes for shipment are graded, on re
quest and for a small fee, by official
representatives of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, who furnish a
certificate that the given lot quali
fies under one or another of the es
tablished United States grades. Some
states require that the sacks In which ,
the potatoes are sold shall be label
ed with the grade. Some dealers dis
play the potatoes under such a label, j
Others will tell you the grade If you j
ask about it. Some may not know the ,
grade. But it is Just as well to ask
them to find out.
For the customer, or anybody else
for that matter. It Is obviously Im
possible to test every potato for hid
den defects, such as "hollow heart,"
and "blackheart." But the govern
ment Inspector does actually cut open
a percentage of the potatoes In sam
ple lots before certifying as to the
grade. This means that to be certi
fied the potatoes must meet the gov
ernment standards of quality, and
there can be but a minimum per
centage of defective potatoes In the
lot as sold to the dealer.
There are four United States grades
for potatoes. There is a superfine
grade called "U. C. Fancy." But by
far the largest proportion of the po
tatoes on the market fall In grade
"U. 8. No. 1." Then follow "U. S.
Commercial" and "U. S. No. 2."
Cooks Must Experiment
But even when potatoes are graded
for size, soundness and freedom from
defects, their appearance does not
tell you about their cooking quality.
For that you will have to do your
own experimenting and then remem
ber the types of potatoes you like
best and the state or region from
which they come. The Bureau of
Home Economics reminds us, how
ever, that dry mealy varieties which
break into white, flaky, almost crys
talline masses are ideal for mashing
and baking. The more waxy varieties,
because they hold their shape, are
best for salad and creaming. For
deep-fat frying, avoid potatoes which
have been frozen or held at low stor
age temperatures. Some of the starch
turns to sugar under those condi
tions, and such potatoes brown too
much and too quickly at frying tem
peratures. A potato baked In the skin retains
most of Its food value, even Its vita
mins. And because the best values
are close to the skin a potato boiled
In Its "Jacket" furnishes the food
values that are lost when the raw
potato Is pared with a knife. Cooked
otherwise, the chief food values of
the potato are its starch as a source
of energy, and some mineral content.
Including a small amount of iron,
which counts up because of the
amount of potatoes we eat. New po
tatoes contain more protein (which
accounts for their waxtness) than
old potatoes.
PRUIH PURCHASES
A deal was consummated yesterday
by Roy Prultt, local financier, for the
Barkdull building on North Central
avenue, owned by Mrs. Clara C. Bark-
dull. Amount paid for the property
was not divulged. The location Is
believed by Prultt among the most
desirable in the business district, with
prospects that store structures will
be built in the not distant future on
Central avenue to the corner of Fifth
street.
