Buy Defense Stamps and Big Spring Herald, Big Spring, Texas, Tuesday, October 2, 1945 THree Texas French Fries Built In As Cows Eat Potatoes By JACK RUTLEDGE Associated Press Staff You've heard the whimsical but impractical suggestion that cows be fed chocolate so they can give milk chocolate. Well, in Lubbock they're feeding cows, sheep and boss top grade Irish potatoes. We hasten to add they're not attempting to develop meat with built-in fried potatoes, popular as such a dish would be. The Plainsman in the Lubbock Journal explains with obvious awe that it's just another of those government things. The government gave potato growers a S2.30 floor price.

The crop turned out to. be a record. Now government, says the Plainsman, "has potatoes running out of its ears." So someone in Washington wrote W. L. Stangel, dean of ag- THE COOLEST PLACE IN TOWN Our Fruit and Vegetable Room Always 50 Degrees SANITARY FOOD MARKET Cor.

4th Gregg rieulture and professor of animal husbandry at Texas Tech, asking if he wouldn't experiment and see if raw potatoes weren't excellent as a fattening agent for stock. Mr. Stangle agreed. Potatoes began to pour into Lubbock. Seven carloads, or 126 tons (or 252,000 pounds, if you insist) came in the first week.

Later the shipments dropped to 54 tons a week, finally 36 tons. In all, the Plainsman figures they've shipped in 680,000 pounds to date. At the floor price, this amounts to about $16,000 worth of grade-A potatoes. Is the experiment working? Do the cows like spuds? Yes. First, the potatoes were cracked up and mixed with ensilage, but now they're fed whole.

Cattle, hogs and sheep gobble them up. They're getting fat on them, all right. They should, comments the columnist. For example, one group of Herefords gets two feedings per bale of hay for all 33, but an average of 30 pounds of potatoes per animal per feeding. At Slock raisers have known for a long time that animals go for sweet potatoes.

But the fact that cattle and sheep will eat Irish potatoes whole is something new. (They haven't tried horses and mules yet.) In conclusion, the Plainsman questions whether ranchers can afford to feed their stock better potatoes than they themselves eat at home, but admit reluctantly that "despite the drought, they (the cattle) are putting on good flesh and for that the potatoes 1 must be given credit."
