The nickname originated from the initials of an old English dietetic assocation called Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet. More potatoes are used than any other veegtable; perhaps more than any other food we eat. There is a great deal of difference in the quality and price of the different grades. The large smooth U. S.
