Sept. 7 (IP) More Chinese chopsticks may dip inio more irisn potatoes, ana in to less rice, in the future. This is partly because a de partment of agriculture potato expert has spent nearly two years in China, helping the Chi nese develop the spud as a food crop to supplement the rice on which they've been concentrat ing for several thousand years. The return of the expert, Dr. Theodor P. Dykstra, was an nounced today by the state de partment. He went to China 20 months ago loaded down with seed potato samples. Four of these varieties proved best suited to Chinese soils, so Dykstra sent back to this country for 500 pounds of additional seed pota toes which were flown to China, and have now yielded a new seed crop. One Chinese food official said recently, Dykstra's work may change the course of Chinese his tory by providing the Chinese a more abundant diet. .
