with priority assistance for the
construction required to readapt
or modernize their buildings or
to construct additions or new
buildings needed to provide
adequate plant capacity.
RESCIND ORDERS
THE War Production Board
also should rescind orders which
restrict the manufacture of
building products and which re-
quire the use of wartime specifi-
cations and substitute materials.
"Then adequate minimum
amounts of critical materials and
of manpower should be allocated
to permit the manufacture of
scarce or missing items.
Finally, the general inven-
tory order should be relaxed in
order to permit wholesalers and
retailers of building products to
build up the inventories needed
before field construction can be-
gin.
AMPLE INVENTORY
1T is recognized that there is
not sufficient manpower gener-
ally available at the present
time TO enable civilian con-
struction to proceed unrestrict-
ed.
However, IL building is TO re-
sumo as fast as workers are re-
leased from war plants and from
the armed services, an ample in
ventory of building products
must be built up prior to that
time.
in the case of some building
products, up TO six months will
be required to meet inventory
requirements"

White potatoes can be grown
I'M any fertile. well-drained soil,
and a half-peck of certified seed,
sufficient 10 plant four rows,
% feet long, will produce an
ample supply for the average
family. However. experience
has taught me that good white
potatoes are possible only in an
acid loamy soil, well enriched
with humus and loose subsoil
10 encourage deep roofing.
Heavy clay soil in so many
gardens is most often the cause
Of failure. Potatoes grown in
sweet soils are usually affected
by ground diseases such as scab
and blight Mosaic diseases oc-
cur wherever potatoes are
grown. and the use of certified
disease free seed is the only
remedy.
There are hundreds Of varie-
ties of potatoes, but only the
newer varieties recommended
10y your local agricultural coun-
" agent should be grown. Pota-
toes should not be grown unless
there is plenty Of space, soil
conditions ideal, and an ade-
quate supply of water available
for use during dry weather.
Seed should be sown as early as
soil and weather permit. Do
not plant in soggy ground.
In cutting potatoes for plant
ing. be sure that each piece is as
large as possible, but with not
more than two eyes. Single
pieces of the potato are placed 10
inches apart in the rows which
are "a to % inches apart. Seed
pieces should be cut blocky
rather than wedge shaped, as
they produce sturdier sprouts.
Placing the cut pieces for callus-
ing in a room where the temp
erature is about 60 degrees and
the air is rather humid for about
week is the recommended
practise, but seed may be plant
cd without waiting for callus-
ing.
Mixing fertilizer with the
soil in the bottom of the furroW
is advised before planting. Man
ure should not be used unless 1t
had previously been worked in
TO the soil. The seed pieces are
planted four inches below the
surface, covered with fine soil
and mounded slightly over the
row to allow for settlement.
/ Cultivation should begin as soon
as the soil shows signs OF cak-
ing or when weeds make their
appearance. The soil must be
kept loose and wellaerated to
induce a continuous and steady
growth of vines.
Treatment of seed potatoes
before cutting with one OF the
recommended compounds, such
as yellow oxide, corrosive sub
Innate or organic mercury, will
prevent black scurf injury to
early planted potatoes. Left
over treated potatoes should not
be used for cooking, since the
solutions are very poisonous.
