THE CHOICE OF POTATOES FOR
THE TABLE

%AAA@ AsAA-A~F
The following suggestions to house
wives by home economies specialists
of the U. S. department Of agricul-
ture are made in regard to the selec.
tion of potatoes for table use.
In purchasing potatoes for table
purposes, the following points should
be kept in mind: First, that smooth
potatoes are more desirable than
rough ones, because they are more
easily prepared, and less los is involv-
ed in the pairing. Second, that tu-
bers which have been exposed to light
soon acquire a more or less acrl6
TASTE for this reason, newly harvest
ed potatoes, II mature, are preferable
for the winters supply to those which
have beer kept for any considerable
period under suitable conditions.
Third. that very large potatoes are
not especially desirable partly on ac-
count Of the greater length OF time
required to cook them uniformly. and
partly because they are often very
variable in texture. Fourth. good
potato should be firm and crisp when
