POTATOES WILL BE CHEAPER j
The Office of Information, of
the Department of Agriculture, au
thorizes the following:
The huge potato -crop, which the
forecast made by the Department of
Agriculture indicates will be pro
duced in the United States this
year, means that this Important
food stable 'will be cheaper and
makes it possible for American,
families that had to cut down on po
tato consumption because of high
prices to restore the tuber to a
prominent place on thetr bill of
fare. ' 1 •' "!
The department forecast, based
on reliable estimates from all parts
of the country, places the total
potato yield at more than 467,000,
000 bushels, as compared with 285,
000,000 in 1916 and 360,000,000
In 1915. Potatoes of the current
season are already in the market in
large quantities, and, since the
early harvested tubers can not be
kept easily, should be eaten more
abundantly now if spoilage is to b0
avoided. i , I lllflliS
