MAKE YOUR OWN STARCH
Any Family Can Make Starch or
Flour From Unmarketable
Potatoes.

Don't waste the Gull potatoes.
They make excellent potato starch,
potato flour and dried ricel potatoes.
So says Professor J C. Hogenson. Of
the Utah Agricultural College, State
Leader of boys ad girls clubs.
Professor Hogenson has compiled
circular, designed especially for
club workers but of great value in
any household, telling just how these
by-products can be made in the home
from the Gull potatoes and giving
numerous recipes for using them.
Gull potatoes, including small shah
by and misshapen ones, and those
damaged in digging, all of which are
unmarketable, can eaisly and success
fully be made into potato starch in the
home. It is possible to obtain readily
no less than IL percent of the weight
of the Gull potatoes used in the form
of a pure white starch.
Potato starch is a healthful product
which can be used in many ways for
food. For example, it can be used to
the extent of 20 per cent to replace
wheat flour in making bread. 1t can
also be used in making custards, pud-
dings, and pasteries, in addition To
regular use for laundry purposes.
All that is needed to make potato
starch is a suitable crater or grind
err for the potatoes, two dish pans OF
pals, small milk pan or stew pan
and a square yard of cheese cloth, A
special burr mill is needed when grind
ing is preferred to grating. A food
chopper will also be needed for cut
ting up the potatoes before grind ng
them if the burr mill is used.
All small potatoes which are com
paratively smooth and of such size
that the Feelings can be readily re-
moved can be made into dried riced
potatoes with respect to uses which
riced potatoes resemble dried sliced
potatoes with respect to uses whic car
can be made of them. They can be
made into -four by grinding and the
