The statistics relating to the exports of potato flour are equally interesting. AVhilst in 101.1 Holland sent to Germany 50,832 tons, the quantity for the three years ending December, 1916, was no fewer than 190,148 tons; on the other hand, the exports of potato flour from Holland to England in 1913 amounted to 31,737 tons, liut in the three years cncling December, IMG, only 72,079 wore sent in all.
