Potato Flour Projections From Wartime Production
Professor W. Jackson of Manitoba Agricultural College cites wartime potato flour use by Japan and Holland, noting Japan grew 35 million bushels and shipped 400000 pounds of flour to the U.S. Germans stored flour to withstand blockades, Holland produced vast flour from a high yielding potato variety, and U.S. plants dehydrated six million bushels in 1917 to make natural potato flour.

Muskrat Clean-Up Under Way In Western Nebraska
Western Nebraska muskrat trappers and hunters are cleaning up this winter with reports of 1000 rats caught in ten days and 1200 in fourteen days. Skins fetch 1 to 2.50 dollars, thousands caught weekly in Sandhills lake districts, with some leasing lakes from ranchers for trapping. Many plan to trap late April and May but must finish by February 15 to avoid violating state law that bans trapping fur bearing animals on others’ premises from February 15 to November 1, with a twenty dollar fine per offense.
