IRISH POTATO SHOULD
BE EATEN GENERALLY
Can Not Be Shipped and May Be
Bought at Low Prices-Patri-
otto Duty.

The Irish potato situation in
South Carolina is improving, that is
the price is being forced down to
an attractive figure. There are hun.
dreds and hundreds of bushels OF
Irish potatoes still available in this
State. They are being used to a
large extent in large communities,
but many small communities have
not availed themselves of the attrac-
tive prices and the patriotic service
of eating Irish potatoes that do not
keep so well, and thereby conserv-
ing the more solid foodstuffs, par
ticularly wheat and corn.
The food administration at Col
umbia will be delighted to advise
any community or market where
Irish potatoes can be bought at very
reasonable figures, and the admin
~istration can not too strongly urge
the use of Irish potatoes because
they conserve other foods, because
they relieve the market of an over
plus before the new crop is avail
able, because Irish potatoes are
very wholesome and appetizing, and
because the use of Irish potatoes en-
courages the further production of
home raised foodstuffs and saves
the money that would ordinarily be
spent for the purchasing of wheat

outside the State.-The State.

FINAL SALES REPORT FOR
WEEK ENDED MARCH 80

Late reports received from the
war savings trenches bring the to-
tai sales for the week ended March
30th, up to s8O,394.25. The thrift
army throughout the State is bring
ing up it's reserves and going over
the top for large gains. The week
of March 30th shows an increase
of 86% over the previous week and
sets a pace which promises to bring
South Carolina out of her humili-
ating place as the lowest State in
war savings sales. Positions are
now being consolidated and a big
drive is expected during the COM
ing weeks.
In spite of the fine record last
week, South Carolinians invested a
little less than 5 cents apiece in war
savings. Realizing how inadequate
this is, the thrift soldiers feel con-
fident of making a still better rec
ord next week. The immediate OBJ
~jective is S1OO, 900 per week.
Total sales now amount to $488,-
169. rs or a little less than 80 cents
per capita. The standing of the va
rious counties is shown in the H.
losed list.
Abbeville County is number 27,
or the list with an average of .015
per capita.
