SENDING CORN ABROAD and Marketing Early Potatoes
The secretary of agriculture backs expanding European corn markets through a Paris expo display with demonstrations of corn bread and other dishes. He says European workers need more than one staple and that corn will suit better classes. Also notes late maize propagandist Snow's work and plans to promote corn across European cities after Paris. Early potato marketing faces waste from skin damage and small sizes. digging too early reduces marketable yield and larger tubers could grow if left longer.
