POTATO GRADES

Two standard grades of potatoes
have just been recommended by the
United Stotes food administration and
the United States department Of agri-
culture. Results of field tests in
grading and packing and of expert
ments in marketing graded and un-
graded potatoes show that marketing
potatoes by grades is desiroble, prac-
teal and economical.
Further, it has been ruled by the
federal reserve board that potatoes,
properly graded and packed and
stored in a weather-proof and respon-
sible warehouse, as evidenced by its
receipt, would undoubtedly constitute
a readily marketable, non-perishable
staple"
The present prospect of a very
large crop of potatoes, the food sup
ply situation, the overtaxed transpor-
tation facilities land the ruling that
federal reserve banks may make loans
against potatoes properly stored in
approved warehouses emphasize, says
the department, the Importance of
adopting uniform grades.
Grades Recommended.
The No. / grade shall consist of
sound potatoes Of similar varietal
characteristics, which are practically
free from dirt or other foreign matter,
frost injury, sunburn, second growth,
cuts, scab, blight, dry rot, and dam
age caused by disease, insects or
mechanical means. The minimum d.
ameter of potatoes of the round va
rieties shall be 1B inches, and of po-
tatoes of the long varieties ~ inches.
The No. 2 grade shall consist of po-
tatoes of similar varietal character
~istics, which are practically free from
frost injury and decay, and which are
free from serious damage caused by
dirt or other foreign matter, sunburn,
second growth, cuts, scab, blight.
dry rot, or other disease, insects, or
mechanical means. The minimum d.
ameter shall be III inches.
Reasonable tolerances are allowed
for variations incident to commercial
grading and handling and explana-
tions of the terms "practically Free"
"diameter," and Stree from serious
damage" are made in Markets Docu-
ment No. 7, which may be obtained
from the United States department Of
agriculture or from the United States
food administration, Washington, DC.
