FARM FACTS
By E. T. BRIGHT
Bolivia Agricultural Teacher
Since the frosts of several
nights has bitten the potato vin- J
es the talk is now of digging, j
However, the yield will be small
due to the dry weather for several
weeks. The crop should be
dug as soon as the vines are bitten
in order to get as many eatable
potatoes as possible. |
Care should be exercised in
digging to prevent bruising. Take
time to cull the potatoes in the |'
field taking out all cut, small or'
bruised ones Store nnlv ominr) !
??- V W???J UUU1IU I
potatoes which are free from
black rot. Since there will be a (
number of small potatoes remember
the livestock. The Kansas Ex
periment Station says, "Since po- ,
tatoes are a succulent feed they
fulfill the same purpose as green
feed. Milk produced on a potato
ration showed no off flavors and ,
the butter was also excellent in
quality and showed no tendency
towards softness. Potatoes should j
be chopped to prevent choking.
Potatoes have a laxa
tive effect, but if fed with hay
and grain the tendency to digestive
disturbances is kept down. In'
feed value they are worth as
much as one-third of a ton of
hay."
To the housewife?a few sug-1
gestions: If you have toast left
over or pieces of bread or biscuits,
toast and grind in sausage
mill and put away in a jar. You
will find uses for such in soups,
egg omelets and the like. Also to
make toast more appetizing mix
white cream cheese with three
tablespoonfuls of catsup and
spread thickly. Cover toast with
thin slives of tomato and hard!
boiled egg. Top with mayonaise
or sauce.
DEER HUNTING
The local deer hunters have
been very successful this season
so far, having killed several nice
bucks.
