"jells" economically, pectin from c
sweet potatoes may be on the (,
market one of these days. Clxem- v
ists have long known that tae
xweet potato contains about 2 por
eent of pectin, along with its 20
per cent of starch, but there were
no practical possibilities in 'he '
extraction of this dab of material '
unMI the development by the Bu
reau of Agricultural Chemistry ^
and Engineering of a feasible pro
cess of making a white starch '
from the sweet potato put most
of the pectin in the byproduct* *

The present commercial sour- 41
ves of pectin are also byproducts
? apple pomace at) the vinegar tl
lactones and citrus peel at the -
juice and fruit canning plants, t
Pectin from beet pulp ? also a by- t
product ? has cdhiparativeiy low
sellylng power.
When the pectin from sweet po- 1
<atoos is largely concentrated in ,
*he pulp, following starch extrac
'ion, It makes up 15 per cent of i
this cheap byproduct which is
now sold as a cattle feed. So far,

QUESTION : llow can 1 grow
ray hog* under sanitary condi
tions?
ANSWER: Consult your coun
ty agent and ask him the neces- j
-lary steps. Raising hogs the sani-j
lary way is one of the best jobs i
t'he farmer can do. Pigs raised on |
clean ground and kept free of j
worms will grow faster, have a |
greater resistance to disease, re- 1
quire a similler amount of feed
for 100 pounds of gain, and bring
more on the market. A free copy
