Says Farmers Will
Raise Few Potatoes

PORTLAND. Feb. 4.--The obliging
public has increased its consumption
of potatoes somewhat, says w. H..
Aver. food administrator for Oregon,
but IL must do much more. 1t is not
eating potatoes nearly fast enough.
A. j. Morris. a farmer of Warren,
Ore. came to Mr.. Ayers office few
days ago TO tell him that 175 farmers
of that community have just harvest
ed - carloads Of potatoes, and Of
that quantity at a price sufficient to
pay for their expense and labor and
leave "A margin of profit.
Next year" concluded Mr.. Morris.
we are going TO raise spuds only for
our own use The minimum price mt
which we can sell potatoes and make
anything at all is Sl0S per 100
pounds. The highest offer we have
had within the last few weeks was 90
cents. and the prevailing price is so
cents. They are all good potatoes.
too"
This Cutting of the potato market,
says Mr. Aver. can he relieved only by
an increase in the consumption of tho
tubers.
The moral of Mr. Morris story
he says, lis that il we don't eat these
potatoes and create sufficient demand
so that the farmers can make a rea-
sonable profit from their product, the
price will he much higher next year.
because the farmers will plant wheat
or some other commodity concerning
the marketability of which there can
be no doubt.
"One of the important things for
the people to do is to use 10 per cent
Of potato in their bread. The potato
really makes the bread more palata-

But to some ii may seem an enigma
how to save even these two teaspoon

II is better to save this amount by
substituting other fats in COOKING

Hundreds OF children abroad. espec-

not include proper substitutes. have
died or become permanently stunted
in growth because they have had to
do without butter fats for an extend
ed period OF time.
We must do our best to save the
rest of these children from n similar
fate by exporting butter to these
countries in larger quantities than
ever before. The Allies are asking
for three times as much as they did
AT the beginning of the war.
We can supply them this. If no but

putting a generous lump of butter in
to a dish now and then Just to make
It tasty" forego this habit now.
Never serve more than one fried
dish a week.
Always substitute chicken fat. Nor
vegetable oils for butter in cooking.
Make as little pastry as, possible

Never put both gravy and butter on
your potato.
Use peanutrbuttcr. tellics, cheese !
