EAT POTATOES AND
SAVE WHEAT BREAD
Campaign to Consume Rapidly Spelling
EIccss Crop OF Potatoes De-
gins TO-1IOrrON.

Excess Crop OF Potatoes De-
gins T0-3Iorrow.
Tho Federal food administration Is
putting on potato campaign. to start
tomorrow. because there arc 10000
goo bushels of potatoes In tho United
states In excess OF tho amount which
VIII be normally consumed between
now and tho timo when tho new crop
comes In.
This past year 44c,ooo.oeo bushels OF
potatoes were raised. which is So.ooo.o0o
bushels moro than tho average produc-
ton In this country for tho last five
years.
The amount OF wheat available for
consumption between now and harvest
is lOo,Oo0.ooo bushels short of the nor
NAL needs OF this country. Therefore
the big underlying motive OF the cam
paign which starts tomorrow is the
increased consumption OF potatoes as
means OF saving the wheat
There is no other substitute for
bread in excess supply at this time,
and. as a matter of fact. potatoes form
tho only staple food product of which
there Is a surplus. For this reason.
the Slogan of the campaign Will hc.
Fiat potatoes and save bread"
Tile Immediate reason for putting on
the campaign right now is that po-
tatocs are at this season Il highly
pcrishahle food product. and unless
consumption is greatly increased at
once, this valuable and greatly needed
food Will hc lost.
Virginia farmers face a heavy none
tary loss no matter how successful the
campaign proves, for the reason that
last year they raised heavy crops OF
potatoes. stimulated by the most
worthy patriotic motives. and the loss
cntaiicd will discourage future efforts
20 increase production OF potatoes. and
the scarcity and high prices of 1915
may be repeated IN the winter OF
lalS-lo.
The food administration urges all
loyal and patriotic citizens. and all
citizens IN whom these qualities have
not so far been particularly obvious, TO
cat potatoes as their part In the great
movement TO save millions OF dollars
worth of valuable food.

There. has been some suggestion that

they will wait for the Allies to make
