Milk was anothér product that was given extra atten- tion. Now milk is given the greatest inspected every so often for bacteria count and sedimentation--too much of either and the milk is condenined. 'With all this*care at the source, if egies now lose their freshness and milk becomes stale and contaminat- ed, the fault lies with the attention-- or lack of it--which these products receive after being purchased. Now the spotlight is on potatoes. Housewives complain that potatoes haven't the flavour they used to have; they have lost their old-time mealiness; no longer will they fluff up when shaken after being cooked. Worst of all, old turn black when cooked, and even 'new potatoes have lost that certain flavour we liked so much in days of yore. So at last Mrs: John Public has got around to asking--*"What's wrong with our Ontario potatoes?" Now that IS a qitestion because you sce grading of potatoes has long since been compulsory. Graded as. to size and quality, that is. Just let few little potatoes slip in with thé big fellows and the producers have to answer for it. And of course scabby potatoes are never offered for sale at all. So the. consgmers go to the store and when they buy reasonably uniform jn size and also firm and sound. Actually, to all appearances, there shouldn't be a "kick in the world about these nice looking potatoes. But the proofi of the spud is in the cooking: You boil them, drain them, and mash them--and, according to the tem- perament of-the potatoes; they may be either watery, black or look and taste fairly edible. So 'you try other ways of cooking --steam them; start them with cold water, hot water, add salt first, last, or just as they come to the boil. But it makes very little difference--those fluffy, mealy potatoes seem to be gone for good. various explanations--it's the soil, or the season, or the type of potato," or the way they 'are cooked. Well, maybe they are right -- we don't grow potatoes for commercial use ourselves, so we don't pretend to know. But in our small way we have made certain observations and have come to the conclusion that it is the use of chemical fertilizers and constant spraying that has ruin- ed the flavor of our Ontario pota- toes.
