WASHINGTON. 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. .

; Enough labor to meet the

lumber and farm production is
