Imperishable Potatoes.
From American Review of Reviews.

The potatoes principal drawbacks are its bulk, which increases
from the field to the table unless particular care is given. To lessen
these losses and to cut the costs Germany has resorted to drying and
the manufacture of potato flour. We do not know the extent Of the
business now, but we know that before the war more than $780, 600
bushels of the fatherland S potato crop were dried each year-and
this enormous amount of dried food was fed to live stock, but much of
it was ground into a nutritious flour for human consumption.

The total value of all food ship

to S1,400,000,000, all this food being

during the fiscal year 1916-l7 were:
Wheat 13510O,000 bushels and rye

bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port

thereto. The total shipments TO Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore. about al ,000.-

"rhis accomplishment of our people
in this matter stands out even more
clearly IL we bear in mind that we had

from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200000,000 bushels OF wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenchlng on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure OF the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
81 am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote IN
