Eyes of Potato Held
Quality Index by
College Professor
Tests at Penn State Reveal
Those Best Suited
For Cooking.

BY the Associated Press.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa, November
14.-Practical use for the eyes Of q
potato has been found for the. cook at
the Pennsylvania State College.
They are one index showing how good
a potato is likely to be. after 1t is
cooked. The fewer eyes, the more like
ly is it that the potato win be delicious.
This is one Of the several tests es-
tablished by experiments at Penn state
to determine the baking, boiling and
frying qualities. The research was
conducted by J. 8. Cobb, professor Of
agronomy.
Every potato eye is q growing point,
where nature has headed up the ma
terial for q sprout, future potato vine.
The substances to make new vines are
conducted from behind the eyes In tiny
tubes, the contents of which are mostly
water, not as appetiZing as the other
potato content, which Is chiefly starch.
Furthermore, the fewer the eyes, the
fewer are the tubes behind them.
Potato skins also are quality indices
A slightly netted or very slightly
.roughened skin in all potatoes q sign
Of maturity, indicates good cooking
QualiJy. SlBnC gardening OF Cne SKIN
also Is a good sign. This applies no
matter whether the skin color Is pink,
or white, or blue. Cracks, II wide and
well healed over, are marks of rapid
growth, and do not interfere with
quality. s.a>
Irregularly shaped and knobby pota-
toes are unlikely to be as good as those
Of symmetrical contour.
For certain rots which discolor the
interior Of potatoes there are no visible
surface signs. But a safeguard for
avoiding them Is found at Penn State
in teaching customers to demand po-
.tatoes which have been sprayed and
grown from disease-free seed.

can scientific development is scheduled
for one Of the greatest blooms" in its

last Summer, left the bulk of his large
estate to two of the country's foremost
learned bodies-the Geological Society
Of America and the American PhiloSoph-
ical Society. Each Of them will re-
ceive the round sum of $4,500000.
For the particular purposes to which
the funds are to be put, the Penrose will
is believed to establish a precedent.
Never before have struggling American
organizations of q scientific character
and the existence. of most of them is a
perpetual struggle-been so handsomely
caparisoned with cash to carry out long
cherished plans.

theorizing in geology The, American

feeling that the American Association

ally built up largely by biologists, had
become bit too miscellaneous.
May Build Offices Here.
The officers and council Of the
Geological Society of America have not
yet decided exactly In what way they
will proceed to spend the .$250, 900 or
100000 year which the society will
derive annually from the Penrose en-
dowment. The probability Is that the
bulk of the funds viii be devoted to
publications, especially an international
abstract Of discoveries and researches
IN the field of geology. Though the
science has had a steady growth in
the United States and contributed
nightly to the development Of this
continent, American biologists feel they
have Jagged behind their European
brethren, especially the Germans and
the Belgians, in abstracts. It Is con-
sidered possible some Of the Penrose

suitable national headquarters, museum
and library at Washington.
