Potato Day Campaign Aims to Boost Irish Potatoes Use
The U S Food Administration outlines a nationwide campaign to daily place Irish potatoes on American tables. Grocers will host weekly potato days with special prices while households are urged to buy a week’s supply. The effort seeks equal distribution, eased rail congestion, and a large spring crop with cooperation from consumers and growers.
