New 'Spuds' Must Be
Used In Short Time
Supply OF PerishabIe Crop Is $50
Larger Than Last Year

There is now a surplus of new
potatoes on the market These po-
tRtoes do not keep as winter pOta-
toes do, and must be used in order
to avoid food waste. The supply
is 35 per cent larger than at this
time last year, both because acre
ages have been increased and be-
cause the entire crop has come on
at once. In order that this food
will not be wasted, gardeners are
urged to eat these perishable COM
mercial potatoes and leave their
own in the garden until they are
fully matured.
The potato has more food value
than we ordinarily realize, says
Miss Pearl Macdonald, extension
nutritionist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service. 1t is a
good source of vitamin C, vitamin
B-1 (thiamin), iron for the blood,
starch for energy, and some pro-
tein for building and repairing tis-
sues. Much of this food value is
near the skin of the potato. There
fore, to get all the good from them;
cook them in the skins-bake or
boil. Even for MASKING, potatoes
can be prepared by boiling in the
skins and then removing the thin
outer skin. They may be a little
darker. but they have an added
delicious flavor And potato salad
can be made from cold baked po-
tatoes or from potatoes boiled i'm
the skins.

ed of some of Milford's leading

planned that certain phases of

ipation in water sports, and to date
the many members of the local
colored troop were unable to car
ry out this portion of their assign
ed program. Accompanying Mr..
Reese were Marshall Bell. president
of Milford Colored Young Mems Re-
publican Club; Rev. F. A. Fassitt,
pastor of st. Paul's Methodist

erty owners and business operators

mittee, composed of Mayor Edward

Keeping Healthy Hogs
Is Major War Effort
Beware OF UnsOund Practices In
Everyday Operation

La&t summer and fall heavy
losses were reported by some hog
producers in Delaware. Accord
ing to Prof A. E. Tomhave, acting
head of the department of animal
and poultry industry, these losses
were attributed to a variety of
causes. most of which were asso-
ciated with poor sanitation in the
hog lot by some observers. Sever
al veterinarians investigating out
breaks of disease were convinced
that much of the trouble was caus-
ed by unsOund practices in every
day operations.
Sanitation and cleanliness of
surroundings for pigs cannot be
over-emphasized. says Prof. Tom
have. There is overwhelming evil
dence today of the failure in lots
used to grow hogs year after year,
and of successes when pigs are
put out on clean ground. When it
is absolutely necessary to grow

Mayor and ration board member,
there's no sense to it.
