THE POTATO COMES BACK.
Huge Crop of Tubers Restores Ameri.
can Diet to Its Old Basis.

Huge Crop of Tubers Restores Ameri-
can Diet to Its Old Basis.
Washington.-The huge potato crop
which the federal forecast indicates
will be produced in the United States
this year means that this important
food staple will be cheaper, and makes
il possible, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, for Ameri-
can families that had to cut down on
potato consumption because of high
prices to restore the tuber to a prom
inent place on their bill Of fare.
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts of
the county; places the total potato
yield at more than 467 million bushels
as compared with 2S5 million in 1915
and 800 million in 1915. Potatoes of
the current season are already in the
market in large quantities, and, since
the early harvested tubers cannot be
kept easily, should be eaten more
abundantly now If spoilage is to be
avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs, potatoes
are the most important food crop of
the western nations, the department
points out. They are all the more
important now that the worlds wheat
supply is short, since they furnish
starch, the principal food element con-
tributed by bread, and so may be sub
stituted in part for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans, says
the department, to eat freely of pota-
toes; rather it has been hardship to
them during the past half year to fore
go somewhat the use of this common
| food
