LATE LOCALS.
The potato as an article of food in hard times has a- staunch advocate in his Excellency th e Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe. Recently he inspected a place in Wellington where large quantities of cooked potatoes were being served to people in distressed circumstances. “To my surprise,” he informed the people who had assembled for the opening of the Hutt Yalley Horticultural Society show, “the potatoes were peeled. The Germans never peeled potatoes in their time of crisis during the war. They knew that the best part, the most nutritive part, of potatoes in under the skin. In Germany the potatoes were -cooked in their jackets. Owing to the Germans’ realisation of the value of potatoes the war was continued for twelve months longer than it otherwise would have been. We in England, on> tlie other hand, concentrated on the" growing of wheat, with not the same degree of success.” '
