Despite the favorable supply of potatoes, provision must be made for the greatest care and economy in the use of food potatoes. It is strictly stated that food potatoes are used for feeding purposes (including rabbits, etc.). Since the distributors and growers are particularly stressed in the autumn, they are asked for support by collecting them with their own means of transport. In order to avoid greater losses during the encroachment, it is useful that the farms are moved by landw. Experts should be advised on suitable storage facilities (storage rooms, rents, etc.) and assisted in the selection process. Above all, it should be noted that the potatoes to be stored are re-picked at the time of storage in order to remove the damaged tubers from the undamaged. Existing cellars must be thoroughly ventilated and limed beforehand! It is particularly important to note that the supply of food potatoes to the factory kitchens is an additional supply, which is dedicated to the purpose. It is therefore in no circumstances lawful to provide these food potatoes directly to followers or other persons for private use. If the intended quantity is too large and cannot be used in the kitchen, it is not necessary to refer to a corresponding quantity. P ra g, October 1942. 1775-42 - Koliš & Co. Prague XII.
