Saving Spuds and Using Them In
This Way Would Mean Ten Wheat
less Days Per Month
Expert Says.
rs A $3.50 PROPOSITION
Holden Has II Figured Out That 1oo.-
000, 1000 Bushels Potatoes viii
Save Same Amount
Of Wheat.
BY p. @. HOLDEN.

1t is hardly possible to estimate
from standpoint of food conserva
ton the great value of potatoes as a
substitute for wheat and other grains
in the making of bread.
One hundred million bushels of
small potatoes will save 1OO.OOO0OO
bushels Of wheat. About 30 per cent
of the annual potato crop in the United
States consists Of small potatoes which
are unmarketable, made little use Of,
practically wasted, almost total loss
to the country. The small potatoes
can be substituted for one-third the
wheat flour used In making bread. Po-
tato bread Is better bread In every
way than bread made entirely Of wheat
or a combination Of wheat and other
grains.
The use Of potntoes in bread is eco
nomical at any time. 1t is patriotic ut
this time; 1t utilizes waste potatoes
saves wheat and other grain which
can be exported; saves corn, barley
and oats which can be used to produce
meats and fats for our soldiers; gives
us white, moist and wholesome bread
for every meal; does not require ex-
tra work for the housewife, nor change
the usual custom and practices Of the
home; means two and one-third wheat
less days a week, ten wheatless days
month, four wheatless months q
year.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-02-22

Potatoes are grown In every section
Of the country, found in every home,
arc a universal food. Every family
can produce them. Potatoes are an
abundant crop in the United States !;
the possibilities Of increasing the to-
tai yield In this country cannot be
estimated. Potatoes are perishable
crop-cannot be exported to foreign
countries, cannot be carried over from
one season to another. The potatoes
we grow in this country we must use
at home. The nature Of potato starch
is so nearly the same as wheat -four
that there Is no difficulty in using this
combination in bread making.
Last season the farmers OF the
United States produced about 44O, O0O.-
600 bushels Of potatoes. About 1OO,-
100000 bushels Of this crop were small,
Irregular, unmarketable potatoes.
1 earnestly believe that in no other
way can so great saving be made In
food In America with so little labor
and so small expense as the use
of small potatoes in the making
of bread in place Of small grains
which can be shipped to our SOL
diers and the fighting armies Of the al
lies to help US win this war.
How to Make Potato War Bread.
Baked or boiled potatoes, mashed
or put through ricer, can be substituted
for one-third the wheat -four in any
standard recipe for making wheat
hreod biscuits, pancakes, wafleS,
doughnuts, pie crusts. etc. When po-
tntoes are used, little less liquid
may be required in the mixing.
The Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of the International Harvester
Company, Chicago, will send, free Of
charge to anyone, sample copy Of war
