227 Counties In
Texas Working
On Spud Plan

At this time 227 Texas counties
are working on applications for
aLotmentS under the potato pro-
gram, according to J. r. Rosbor-
ough, A. & M. Extension horti-
c%ulturist.
A survey Of Texas shows that
there are seven commercial potato
producing counties. 20 semi-com-
mercial potato producing counties,
and 200 other counties that have
some growers who are offering po-
tatoes for sale on a small scale.
Rosborough said that some of the
counties have already completed
the work Of receiving applications
for allotments under potato form l,
and summarized their applications
under potato form 3.
1T Is hoped that all applications
for allotment work will be COM
pleted early IN December" Ros-
borough said. so that the state
committeeman can begin work in
making county allotmentS.
IAN effort is being made o 70
provide those counties that viii
harvest their crop before Novem-
Der 80 with stamps which viii allow
the crop 70 move as prescribed by
the Potato Act. These stamps viii
particularly apply 70 the Rio Grande
Valley. Other counties Will not be
issued stamps until a later date"
The Extension horticulturist OF
fered several suggestions for coun-
~ agricultural agents 70 contact
potato growers in order TO get APP
plications for potato exemptions.
They are as follows: to hold COM
munity meetings in the potato
growing areas in the county,
through the assistance OF county
committeeman who can suggest per-
sons in communities growing po-
tatoes, through local seed stores
who buy and sell potatoes, through
county farm organizations. through
a publicity story naming q place
and a time for potato growers 70
assemble.
The counties that have already
completed the application work
show that there Is a great deal OF
interest In the potato program,

mate released by the Texas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
College Station.
IN recent years the scientific
study given to our food supplies
has greatly emphasized the value
and Importance of vegetables and
each person must now have three
servings daily. One of these must
be leafy vegetables like turnips and
other green's and in this class come
asparagus, English peas. sweet pep

each Of these four classes If we

Home gardens are more impor-

Due to out Of state demand from
sections within the state that do
not produce a constant and ade-

production has developed to large
proportions. Shipments Of more
than $1,000 carloads are made each

CLOUD BERRIES
 ARE NOW READY
 TO BE GATHERED

They are called "bear berries :" because only the bears know enough to eat them. Anyway, very few per sons in this locality know of this small juicy berry as being delicious to eat. Mrs. Mary Hammer, pro- prietress of the New Ideal Shop on Front Street remembers how greatly prized these "Lakkoja" as they are called in Finnish, and properly called cloud berries" in English, were in her native country of Fin land.
 Throughout the Scandinavian countries cloud berries are grown and marketed as prominent crop The berries are mashed down in open wooden barrels where they pre- serve themselves in their own juice Just before the weather becomes cold enough to freeze them, very small amount of salt is sprinkled over the top, just enough that the berries will freeze from the bot tom toward the top, rather than from the top down, When some are wanted for use they are chopped out of the barrel with an axe or chisel; when thawed they are cooked immediately. In this frozen state the berries are exported, large share being bought in the United States. The government keeps a record of the annual pack of this berry and of the low-brush cram berries, which are treated in a similar manner, and which also grow wild, and pientifully in Alaska.
 Although considered inedible by most Alaskans, cloud berries are
