POTATOES SAVE WHEAT

Americans, if they would think of
the humble potato as a 'breakstuff'
rather than merely as a vegetable
would find that they could spare much
bread from their diet without incon-
venience, the dietetic specialists OF the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture point out. The potato-Irish or
sweet-differs from almost all other
common vegetables in that it supplics
important amounts of starch, and
starch is the chief food element we get
from bread. Green vegetables, with
which potatoes often are classed, sup.
ply little or no starch and energy, and
are valuable in the diet principally
for the mineral substances and acids
they supply and for giving bulk to the
diet. Potatoes, of course, supply val
liable mineral substances useful in the
building up, repair, and regulation Of
the body. but they have won their
great place in the diet of a large part
of the world because they supply
starch which otherwise would have
have to be obtained from cereals.
The more potatoes you eat the less
bread you need at the same meal. Po-
tatoes, Of course, contain a larger per
centage of water than does bread, so
that weight for weight they are not
equivalent to bread as a source of
starch and energy. AS a general prop
osition, however, one medium-sized po-
tato C o~unces) would supply about
as much starch as two medium-sized
slices of bread (about 2 ounces. Five
parts of potato are equal to one part
of cereal in a mixed diet. Therefore,
those who make potatoes an important
dish safely can cut down the amount
of light or hot bread, wheat mushes,
or macaroni they eat at that meal, and
yet supply their bodies with this i'm
portant food-starch. Wherever pota-
toes are locally plentiful or relatively
cheap, especially in the case Of the

TO THE FARM Frs

81 want the farmers of this coun-
try to take a large part of this liber-
ty loan. They can afford to do it.
They have been benefited by the
prosperity of this time as much as any
other class, and l thank God they have
benefited because the farmer never
has gotten any too much. But he has
derived a Lrcper benefit from the pros
perity of the nation. He Is as patri-
otto as any other class Of people, but
the value OF these loans has not been
brought to his attention.
when we offered the first liberty
loan, I expressly directed that the
farmer should not be solicited at that
time because he was planting his
crops: he was borrowing money un-
der every stimulus of advice from the
department OF agriculture and from
the treasury department to make a
greater crop than he had ever made
before. did not think it fair to ask
the farmers at that time to invest in
government bonds when they we're
probably borrowing money to plant
