Some War Economies.

There is probably nothing that
seems so useless in the eyes Of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot, but the de
partment Of agriculture in Its wartime
experiments has discovered that starch
can be made from a decayed potato
just as well, If not better, than from
good one, and so the surplus stock
OF the farmer or dealer need no longer
be thrown away or wasted
f. in like fashion chemists seeking
methods to avoid worldwide food
shortages have found that sugar can
not only be made from beets, but
from sweet potatoes as well. The
farmer himself can make good strip
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed in the
water to thick, mushy liquid. To this
ground malt is added and the result.
after properly cooking for about an
hour Is thick strip. which Is strained
through cloth and used for any sort
Of sweetening.
