Canned potatoes have recently been
subjected to thorough trial under ser.
vice conditions on board ship and by
the army commiSsaries in Alaska and
the Philippines. and reports of them
arc most satisfactory.

ment that the increased cost of timed

amount OF fresh potatoes to be carried

The fresh and timed potatoes TO
be taken will not be sufficient for the
entire cruise, however, and additional
supplies will have to be acquired on
the way. The potato. in its natural
state.will not keep at sea more than
eight weeks, and in that time loss can
only be kept down by the exercise of
great care.
