Spoiled Potatoes Good for Starch

Starch in potatoes is not destroyed
by the common decay-producing
fungi OF by freezing. 1t has been
found in recent studies conducted by
the United States Department of
Agriculture in laboratory tests that
it is possible to recover most of the
starch from frozen and rotten pota-
toes, which lead specialists of the
department to suggest that an at
tempt should be made to salvage the
great quantities of spoiled stock now
rejected and dumped on the terminal
markets.
