POTATOES AND DRY VEGETA-
TIES FOR WINTER

Dry vegetables and fruit now tt
eat next winter.
The drying of potatoes, other veg.
etables and fruits must be done in the
home. Nature furnishes the crop ano
also the means of preserving it. Sun
light and cir properly used are al
that are required to insure a supply
of good wholesome vegetables and
fruits in a staple form for winter
use. Clean, wash, pare, and slice
vegetables then put in thin layers on
screens, nteting on in pans. Place in
the sunlight. Artificial drying will
hasten the process.
Instead of throwing away the sur
plus vegetables dry them.
Eat potatoes and say ewheat. The
promise has been secured from most
retailers: 1--WE pledge ourselves to
handle potatoes on narrow margins of
Of profit end push their sales"
Mr.. Earl Miller, Stevensville, Mont.
writes: "By the way, what dope
have you on market for carload of
Potatoes? We have about 1000 bu
first class spuds to sell. Do you think
there would be any demand for them
in eastern Montana? In fact, if we
do not get one dollar "a hundred or
better for them, we had better feed
them to the hogs. That would seem
rather poor conservation" We all
agree with him. Eat more potatoes.
