THE POTATO.
Beulah Shaver.

Potatoes belong to the vegetable
kingdom. They do not see much OF
the outside world by reason of their
residing under the ground. Potatoes
vary in size and shape. Some of them
are little tat chubby fellows resemb-
ling an egg, while some are very
much larger and others are smaller
and Of different shapes, but all have
skins of the same color which resem-
BILE OF the Filipines. Every potato
has several little "eyes" on its sur
face. We cut the eye out of the pota-
to plant it, and another hill of pota-
toes is grown.
/ Don't you suppose that the most
popular song Of the potato family
this year will b.:
"nh, m frie, in the morning,
And I'm baked in the night,
I Somebody IS always stuffing me"
For, with the potato, we can make
MANY u temp,ln% dish. Some of the
NAV ways we EN- cook potatoes are:
French friea rt ,atoes, cream pota-
toes, potato crocuetts, potato salad,
mashed potatoes, stuffed potatoes,
bak u pct. ,oe.' and many others too
numerous 10 laCrtion.
| So when little Johnny after eating
large amount of cream potatoes the
night before, and waking that same
night with a decidedly bad feeling
against cream potatoes, goes to break
fast the next morning and sees the
! delicious french fried potatoes, he
tells mother to give him some, and
confidently ACIDS, "that he is tired OF
cream potatoes"
So if we like little Johnny get tireo
Of potatoes cooked in a certain way
ali we do is TO cook them in another
way, entirely different.
Besides making so many delicious
dishes, potatoes are an excellent fooc
as they contain certain amount OF
all the various foods necessary fol-
the growth and development of the
human body, especially are they ricf
in, carbohydrates fats and water.
If we want to be true Americans
and help feed our soldiers and allies
let US send them the wheat, and al
for ourselves, we can eat more of the
food that is truly American-the po'
tato.

FUEL ADMINISTRATION

1t is absolutely necessary that do
nestle consumers of coal place orders
promptly and put in their supply dur
ing the summer months. By so doing
they will help the government, as
sist the railroads, and at the same
time provide themselves with coal
They will help the government by
making it unnecessary to assist with
their supply next winter, when all the
time and efforts of the Fuel Admin
istration will be needed in providing
coal for war purposes. There is no
other way in which the domestic CON
sumers, insofar as the coal situation
is concerned, can as effectually assist
the government in the successful pros
ecution of the war.
| also desire to urge the great
necessity for each consumer to limit
his requirements, to less than nor
NAL needs. There is great need for
every ton, and every pound saved
provides additional coal for the re-
quiremtns, not only for our govern
ment, but for our allies.
| also urge and request that the
substitution and use of wood to the
greatest extent possible, for coal by
all consumers.

Last Can For Seed Corn.

l. Please notify the undersigned,
within three days after the date Of the
paper, how much seed corn you must
secure through Farm Bureau Aid. It
is now necessary to know definitely
what is wanted. When these demands
are received the Farm Bureau assisted
by the State Extension Service at
Ames and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, will endeavor to
find the best seed possible to make it
available at cost.
2. Every farmer is urged to use his
own seed corn or that grown in the
neighborhood in 1916 or 1917, and
great many farmers can do this sue
cessfully if they will exercise sufficient
care in testing the seed. On a good
many farms, better seed for home use
can be selected from q crib testing as
low as 20 per cent. than can be i'm
ported from any other section. If it is
necessary to buy seed it should not be
used until you have made your own
test and satisfied yourself that it is
better than what you could provide
from your own crib or in your vicinity.
3. These are war measures of great
Importance. We will win in the fight
for great corn crop if each one will
do his full duty for himself and then
cooperate for the benefit of others.
And winning the corn fight this year
will Le big help toward winning the
bigger fight lover there"
