taste, which is preferred by many To that
of bread made wholly from -four. Potato
bread made as directed contains more min
cral matter. fiber and moisture but other
wise. in composition and nutritive value.

Its higher moisture content helps to keep
ii fresh several DAYS longer than ordinary
bread"
This is highly interesting because the
wheat crop is small. But the most i'm

department bulletin is this: In localities
where there is "A surplus Of potatoes or
where they are very chcai potato bread
costs less to make than all-0our bread.
