POTATOES SUBSTITUTED FOR
FLOUR

With the cost of flour increasing
we are continually being asked by
the housewife Can we substitute
something, in part at least, for flour?
Experiments have been conducted by
the Home Economics department OF
the college and results show that po-
tatoes may be substituted in part for
flour and economically, too.
At the present cost of flour, $2.3O
a sack, one cup costs .013 cents. AT
the present price of potatoes, SITS
sack, a cup of potatoes is .0058 a
cup, flour being more than twice as
expensive as potatoes. Potatoes
rank next to breadstuffs as a source
of carbohydrates. If potatoes GO
down in cost they will be even more
economical to use. Breads, cakes
doughnuts, biscuits, cookies-any-
thing, in fact, that can be made OF
flour can be made with part flour
and part potatoes. The Extension
Service of the State College is pre-
pairing a circular on the substitution
of potatoes for flour which will be
sent to anyone in the state free OF
charge. Address Extension Service
