Department Of Agriculture
Urges Greater Use,

This has been declared Potato
Week" by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture which is making a
nationwide appeal for its observance
during the week beginning today. The
purpose OF the campaign is to conserve
the supply of wheat and aequaint the
people with the great variety oi ways IN
which potatoes may be used on the
table. Potatoes three times a day,
served in as many ways as the cook
knows how TO prepare them, is the pro-
gram the department has asked the
country to follow during the week. The
potato crop this year has been the
largest America has ever produced.
An Osborne Recipe.
The following recipe for baked pota
toes has been submitted by Miss Leys
Osborne, supervisor of home economics
at the high school
II potatoes are served with proteins--
eggs, milk. meat, or oheesc--they have
as much food value as bread Baking
is the finest way to prepare potatoe,
il they are we'll done" The secret OF
well-baked potatoes is to pierce them
as soon as they have baked sufficiently
and allow the steam which forms by
expansion OF the water in the potatoes
to escape This insures a dry mealy
potato having the appearance OF gliSten-
ing frost in place Of the watery, soggy,
lead affair that we have thrust at US
from every side.
Oil Potato Skins.
Wash potatoes dry with a brush, oil
slightly to keep the skin from crumb-
ling. Place in a moderate oven, turn
several times to insure even baking
Pierce with a fork. place in an open
dish in the oven with the door open 50
as to keep hot until ready TO serve
Never serve potatoes in covered dishes
Eat the skin of baked potato for the
