A truck load of them go- jng through Mt. Pleasant Thursday morning brought to mind the article of more than usual interest (to me) in the current issue of "The lowan."

James' Foster, this editor- of the ''Daily lowan" at the University of Iowa writes, "Wellman and the surrounding 30 square mile area furnish a very sizable share of the world's turkeys over 450,000 for Thanksgiving and Christmas alone."

This point, which has been proven 1 by famous cooks and detailed cookbooks, is verified once again by a new booklet called "All Eyes on the Potato." The booklet, put out by Mrs. Damar's Kitchen Kornei, of Newark, New Jersey, lists a variety of new cooking ideas for the lowly but nourishing spud including a way of making potatoes into cocktail canapes. The Damar concern, which makes and sells a French Fry cutter, naturally emphasizes French fried potatoes and variations of this type. But their booklet 'which is free on request also lists some good ideas on potato cookery.

For example, the booklet says that one cooked potato is pretty much like any other cooked potato --and it's the variation in the rules that counts. French fries, it's said, change in taste depending on the fat used for drying whether lard, oil, Besides changing spices and oils to vary the taste of potatoes, cooks are advissed to "get the right potato for the right job." The 'booklet points out that the Irish potato is good for boiling but reacts poorly to baking. The Idaho, a cooking baking potato, falls to pieces when boiled. New potatoes are best boiled. The most interesting part of the booklet, to an old hand with pota- is the chapter on "party po- tatoes" and how to use left-over cooked potatoes for canapes.
