STUFFEQ BAKED POTATOES
Potatoes may be baked at temperatures of 825degrees - 425 degrees F depending .
upon their, oven companions. However, the highest temperatures provide the best baked
products according to home economists.
The potatoes may be baked well ahead of)he mealtime, the centers removed then
mashed with butter, milk and seasonings and the shells refilled. They will then-he' ready
for the table after reheating in the oven. Interesting additions are grated cheese, chopped
onion, crisp bacon pieces or sauteed mushrooms.

tion between the Health Unit in

• • • Potatoes:. are 'adaptable and
can be baked at' a variety of
temperatues ranging from 325
deg.F. to 425 deg. F. The tem-
, perature chosen is usually dic-
tated by the ,foods to be cooked
with them. The higher tempera-
tures, do, howeVer, produce the
crispy skin and the fluffy, 'dry
interior, so desirable in a baked
potato. It, is not generally re-
'commended that ,potatoes be
.baked in foil because they steam
rather than bake.

nada Department of Agriculture

dium potatoes (about 3 to 1 pound):

sumers of plentiful supplies at
attractive prices during the win-
ter months. Fresh potatoes are
a good buy at almost any time
because they supply •vitamins,
iron and other minerals. Potatoes
are specifically mentioned in c, a-
nada's Food Guide and one serving
is recommended daily. Weight
watchers should not deprive
themselves of this important food
but they should eat it without the
'extras' such as gravy, butter and
sour cream. One medium potato;
'baked or boned and served una-
dorned -provides 100 calories, and
has more food value than a simi-
lar serving of rice or pasta.
Most potatoes are ,sold by
grade and the grading is done by
the producer or packer. If pota-
tees are shipped from one ,pro-
vinc•e to another or are exported,
they must meet the federal grade
standards: Canada No,, 1, Canada
No. 1 large and canada No. 2. Po-
tatoes sold within the province
where they are grown may or may
not be graded. If they are marked
'with a grade name•they must con-
form to provincial regulations.
Provincial grades usually paral-
lel the federal grades,which are
based •on size, shape, freedom
from disease, amount and degree
of defects, etc. Certain toler-
ances for damage during harves-
ting-and shipping Ake allowed but
potatoes 'must be of good quality.
In other words, every potato in
every bag may not . be perfect.
Most of the clefedts allowed are
removed when the potatoes are
peeled.
In addition to the grade mar-
king, containers for potatoes
must show the net weight'and the
name and address of the packer.
Potatoes are bought by the -•bag
ranging in weight from 5 to 75
pounds with most popular sizes
being 10, 25 and 50 pounds..The
larger size bag is usually the
most economical buy, providing,
of course, there is adequate sto-
rage space.- Home economists
suggest it is best to checic over
the potatoes before storing them.
The storage area should be cool,
the ideal temperature being be-
tween 45 deg.F. and 50 deg.F.

terest rates make the purchase of
"Scarce capital and high in-
land more difficult now that pre-
viously,
An increasing amount of land
is being purchased by individuals
Who do not wish to farm the land
themselves. In many cases, this
land would be available for ren-
ting. With an increase inthe sup-
ply of land for renting, rental
rates are likely to remain at an
attractive level.
With presentproposals for the
assessment of land used in far-
ming, there • is a possibility that
land, not now being farmed, will
be ' rented at a low rate so the
owner will have an advantageous
tax schedule,
In summary, economics would
indicate 'that many farmers will
consider renting as a method of
controlling extra land resources.
Many types of leases can be
used in meeting the • wishes of
both the-lesser and the lessee.
However, in all cases there are
certain guidelines that should' be
conOlered in preparing the
lease.
(1) Lease agreement should be
in writing.
(2) Name and address of both
parties.
(3) Legal description of pro-
perty. •
Dates for commencement (4) and termination of the
agreement.
(5) Provisions for renewal of
the agreement could be con-
sidered.
Time of payment and amount (6)
, of rent' should be included.
Include a method of giving
fair value.for unused inputs
if 'the agreement has to be
terminated' prior to its ex-
pected termination date,.
(8) Responsibility for fences
and buildings.
(9) penalties for default of pay-
ment or responsibilities..
(10) Signature of all parties..„00,
(11) Signature of witneSt.
The detailed conditions in any
agreement will be unique to each
situation. When the above points'
have been fully considered, the
lease should be finalized by a
