POTATO DAY IS NOW ADVOCATE Fuel Administrator Urges That More “Spuds” Be Used i Connecticut’s Federal Food Admin- | Istration is advocating a “potato day" each week, saving that the time has come for a concerted drive an the yIrish potato. last fall the grocery trade joined hands with the Food Ad- ministration to this end, but there were complications in the crop- drought and field frosts which caused a vield of small patatoes and hurriea | damaged Potatoes to market, putting prices below the profit point to grow- ers in some sections, and in other places, coupled with railway conges- | Xion, putting prices too high for free | consumption. Now most of the trou- Vies of last year's crop seem to be over. There are plenty of potatoes in most markets, with satisfactory sup- plies steadily coming in. We need a long, strong pull all together on pots toes—grower, grocer and consumer all doing team work to get good pota- | taes to market and put them on the | grcople’s tables at reasonable prices. | A new dev for selling has been | worked out. The retail grocer is ad vised to look over his weekly sched- ule of deliveries, choose the day when rade is slack, make a special price on potatoes for delivery that day, and fix | Patato Day in his community as a| weekly event. This an improve- ment over potato k and potate month, both of which concentrated too much attention upon this food at one iime and led to market disturbances. ('ne potato day each week makes no abnormal demands upon the farme or the railroads, and so will not dis furb prices or cause shortages or gluts, and will enable the consumer to use this valuable food article as a balance | in diet, and reduce living costs, and conserve wheat and meal for our ters and the allied nations. With arganized sales effort behind potatoes handled at decent profits through the cutire grocery trade of ‘the country, there will be no need for consumers toring the tubers themselves. In som ways this amounts to a form of hoarding and disturbs the market. Po- tato Day each week should L fixed event from now until the 1917 crop | % caten up by next June. i - @ | CITY ITEMS ‘ W. T..
