ENGLISH DEPEND
ON POTATO FOOD
Tuber Eaten Twice Or Three

Peoples Life.

LONDON. Nov, 3. (Reclprocal News
Service. )---lt depends largely on the DO
tato crop whether there will be plenty
to cat in England this winter at a fair
priee-fair, that Is. as standards are
now. The majority OF people In this
country cat potatoes twice a day and
many working class families eat them
three times day at cents pound
But II the crop runs short the prices
will rise and the people will cut down
on potatoes and turn to somethlng else,
As there is no other crop produced In
this country OF value and quantity,
people will have to eat something that
IL imported, which means that there
will be increased demand for outside
products with still greater increase
of prices,
SO every little housewife Ia praying
that the potato crop will be as good
as II was last year, so that she can
afford to have enough to eat, If other
farlnaceous foods are not called upon
to excess II is expected they will remain
at their present price. II potatoes drop
off, then it IL predicted that bread,
rice. oatmeal, all the grains and cereals,
win jump TO famine prices and there
viii be something like d panic.
