ADVISES CARE IN
STORING OF SPUDS
FOR WINTER USE

Rock Island citizens are eau

ministrator, to use care in pur-
chasing potatoes being Shipped in
and now on the market
Mr. Griswold announces that in
some car load lots received the
potatoes, while perfectly fit for
food. are slightly of grade. and
would spoil if put away for winter
use.
Peddlers are now selling the
spuds from house to house. and Mr.
Griswold warns the housewife that
care should be used in selecting
the supply to be put in tire cellar
for winter consumption.
First class potatoes. which are
graded A No. 1. are assorted with
out cuts or blemishes that would
cause them to rot, and.aressafe for
storage. Size is also taken into
consideration in picking the best
grade. Other grades will not keep
and should be purchased only for
immediate use and in small quaint
ties. A reduction of SO cents in
price for the second grade under
the price of first grade potatoes
should also be insisted upon.
To conserve food great care
must be taken, and none but the
best potatoes should be placed in
cellars. Putting of second grade
vegetables away for winter is a
waste of time and effort as the ma
jority of them viii spoil, causing
great quantities of food to be
wasted This grade should be pur-
