IF OVERFLOW KILLS
CORN, REPLANT 1T

Frequently bottom lands in Missouri
are flooded, during May and June, and
much Of the corn crop is lost. When
floods occur as late as the middle of
June, the End planting should be made
with an early-mhturing variety, such
as / of the following: Iowa Silver
Mine, Leaning Yellow, Silver King,
l00-Day Bristol 9O-Day Dent. If the
water does not leave the land until
July I, varieties that will mature in 90
days must be planted. Such a variety
will be OF the following: Pride OF the
North. Minnesota 23, North Dakota
White Flint, Northwestern Dent, Rust
lers White Dent Amy of these and pos
sibly even earlier ones may he obtain
ed from seedsmen in Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota or the Dakotas. The farther
north the source OF seed the earlier
the crop will mature in Missouri. The
department OF farm crops of the Mis-
souri, college of agriculture. suggests
that farmers who have land subject to
serious overflow, provide seed Of l or
more OF these early varieties. Should
the overflow not come this year, the
seed win keep for 3 or years, II prop
erly stored, and sooner or later will be
useful. Altho the imported early-ma-
turing varieties planted late, will not
make as good crops as the home seed,
planted early. they provide the best
means Of utilizing overflowed lands.

TINY CRACKS SPOIL 13
MILLION DOZEN EGGS

WASHINGTON d. Cover 10 mill
lion dozen eggs, most Of them laid in
the spring, spoil in cold storage simp-
ly because their shells have been
cracked slightly between the hen and
the cold room. Just little more care
in handling eggs on the farm, in get
ting them to the country collector, in
packing them properly in cases for
shipment, In handling the cases as fra
gile shipments, will greatly lessen this
enormous and important waste of val
liable food. The United States depart
ment of agriculture, therefore, urges
everyone who has anything to do with
Eettlng eggs to the storage markets to
exercise unusual care this year to pre-
vent them from being even checked.
once an egg shell Is cracked, even so
slightly that the eye cannot see it,
germs and mOlds find ready entrance
into the egg and spoil its contents. Ma
ture has provided the egg with deli
cate protective, gelatinous coating.
which, as long as it is intact, tends to
keep out air and germs. Once this
coating is pierced, the keeping quality
Of the egg is lessened Immediately. s
per cent of the 2,4OO,OO0,OOO dozen
eggs put in cold storage, the special
lists find, spoil because they were
checks, that is, eggs to slightly crack
ed that they could not be detected in
quick handling during the spring rush
of storing the bulk OF eggs for winter
use.

SHOULD ORGANIZE
CANNING CLUBS

Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, member of the
state board of administration having
charge of the state schools of Kan.
sas, comes out with a suggestion for
the use of the high school equipment
in the present campaign for preserva-
tiou and conservation of food. Mrs.
Lewis makes the following sugges-
tions: '"There are in Kansas 225 high
schools with domestic science equip
ment. The school board in each of
these towns where 1t is possible could
help in the food situation by employ
ing the teacher of domestic science
department for the entire vacation and
offer the equipment to the commun-
ity for canning, preserving, and dry
ing fruits and vegetables. most i'm
portant part of the food drive is the
preservation of garden and orchard
products Clubs of the high school
girls may be organized by the domest-
ic science teacher and the equipment
divided into periods a day, from 8
to l2 and from 2 to 5. Mother and
and daughter clubs also may be or
ganized. Extra pressure cookers
should be bought for canning, where
the money is available, and the invest
ment Of small canning plant put in
the basement would be worth to the
community far more than ii costs in
the encouragement OF canning proyi-
sions. With motor cars II Is possible
for both country and town women to
use the Domestic Science departments
of the high schools for canning clubs.
School boards will you help Kansas
save everything raised, making that
your community contribution to this
war for democracy?"

THE DAIRY COW
WILL DO HER BIT

Thci dairy COW will be called upon to
yield her maximum share of the worlds
food supply during the coming months
of war. She can he depended upon for
production, but preservation of the
milk is mans part The value of milk
is dependent upon the care it receives
after il is drawn from the COW. Com
Scquently preservation Is as essential
as production Milk is dangerous as
human food if It contains disease germs
or worthless If it is SO loaded with
bacteria that its complex food nutri-
ents are partly decomposed. 1t is
equally valueless to the producer and
distributor If it sours before il can be
put to use. To prevent the entrance
of disease germs into milk, healthy,
tuberculin tested cows free from any
udder inflammation or garget are the
1st essentials. Healthy men, and pure
water from protected well or spring
are of 2nd importance. Clean uten-
sils, covered pals and clean cows
come next. Keeping milk sweet is
entirely Il matter of cleanliness and
temperature regulation. Cows free
from manure and dirt especially in
the region of the uddor and flanks:
utensils that are carefully cleansed,
scalded and dried and careful protec-
tion of the milk from flies and dirt
after production, will prevent the en-
trance of bacteria into milk. Milk is
soured by bacterial development and
multiplication. Bacteria cannot re-
produce fast enuf to sour milk in "a
hours If it is kept below a tempera-
ture of So +. Therefore, milk should
be cooled as soon after production as
possible. The easiest and most prac-
teal plan Of cooling Is to sink the
cans to the level of the milk in a
tub of running spring of cold water
and to stir the milk frequently for 5
or 10 minutes until cool. 1t should be
held at or below 30 +. If possible un-
til used. The 5 essentials for produc-
tion Of 1st grade milk, as given by
Percy Werner, Jr, of the Missouri
college of agriculture. are: 1. Healthy
cows and men; 2. Clean cows and
men; 3. Clean cans and pals; 4.
Covered milking pals; g. Cooling milk
to 55' F., or below within an hour
after production and holding 1t as low
as possible until delivered.

HOW TO MAKE AN
LCELESS REFRIGERATOR

WASHINGTON d. C.-Refrigera-
tors can be made to do their part in
conserving food this summer. Pre-
serving milk, butter and other sup
plies and keeping left overs and un-
used portions until they are needed.
will be their service. If ice is not OBJ
tainable, an iceless refrigerator, cooled
by evaporation, can be easily construct
ed. Women demonstrators In extern
sion work, South, of the United States
department of agriculture, tell how to
make such cooler at a small cost
This refrigerator consists of a wooden
frame covered with Canton flannel
burlap or heavy duck. Ii is desirable
that the frame be screened, altho this
is not necessary. Wicks, made of the
same material as the covering, rest
ing In a pan OF water on top of the
cooler, conduct the water over the
sides and ends Of the pan and allow
1t to seep down the sides of the box
The evaporation from this moistened
covering causes a lower temperature
inside On dry, hot days, n tempera-
ture OF So has been known TO be OBJ
talned in the cooler. This is the way
to build 1t: Make a screened case 3h
high with the other dimensions 12 by
is inches. If solid top is used, sim
ply place the water pan on this. 9th
erwise fit the pan closely into the
opening of the top frame and support it
by 1-inch cleats fastened to the inside
of the frame. Place movable shelves
in the frame, 12 to Is inches apart.
Use biscuit pan 12 by ii inches on
the top to hold the water, and where
the refrigerator is to be used indoors,
have the whole thing standing in a
large pan to catch any drip. The pans
and case may be painted white, allow
ed to dry, and then enameled. A cov-
ering Of white Canton flannel should
be made to fit the frame. Have the
smooth side out and button the cover
Ing on the frame with buggy or auto
mobile curtain hooks and eyes, arrang-
ed so that the door may be opened
without unfastening these hooks. This
can easily be done by putting l row
Of hooks on the edge OF the door near
the latch and the other just opposite
the opening with the hem on each
side extended far enuf to cover the
crack at the edge of the door, so as to
keep out the warm, outside air and re-
tain the cooled air. This dress or COW
ering will have to be hooked around
the top edge also. double strips n
the width of each side should be sew
ed on the top of each side covering,
and allowed to extend over about 2h
or 3 inches in the pan of water. The
bottom of the covering should extend
into the lower pan. Place the refrig-
orator in a shady place where air will
circulate around it freely II but
tons and buttonholes are used on the
Canton flannel instead Of buggy hooks,
the cost will be reduced.

POTATOES ARE so CENTS
A BUSHEL IN BERLIN

LAWRENCE, Kan.-"The war is
the biggest undertaking the United
States ever has attempted. Germany
Is a place of absolute confidence. Po-
tatoes were so cents a bushel when
left Berlin, and all necessities were
cheaper there than in America" Mrs
Conrad Hoffman told the foregoing in
an interview with Miss Mary Smith, of
Abilene, Kan, a student of journalism
in the University of Kansas. Mrs
Hoffman's husband formerly was Sec
retary OF the University Y. NJ. c. A.
He is now in Y. NJ. C. A. work in Ber-
lin, and was senior secretary of 10
American Y. NJ c. A. secretaries in
Berlin when America broke with Ger
many. Mrs. Hoffman left Germany
with Ambassador Gerard's party She
remained some weeks in Switzerland
and France and just recently returned
to Lawrence. "Stories that the Ger
man people are starving are false"
Mrs. Hoffman said. Food can be
obtained only in limited quantities and
by means Of food tickets, but everyone
has enuf. Each family is registered
and allowed to buy food only on GER
tain days and of certain merchants
Each purchaser is allowed u pound
of meat a week. 1t is wicked to tell
the American people the war with Ger
many is not going to last long. Ger
many has not reached the end of its
resources. Germany is a place of alb
solute confidence" Mrs. Hoffman spent
l Y year in Berlin. She was unable to
obtain permission to visit prison camps,
but their 4-year-old daughter was al
lowed to visit a camp twice with Mr..
Hoffman. She was the 1st child those
prisoners has seen in 2 years, Mrs.
Hoffman said. Mrs. Hoffman also
said the stories Of German treatment
of prisoners seemed greatly exagger-
ated. It was almost impossible for
civilians to obtain permission to visit
prison camps. Russian prisoners are
used to collect garbage and clean the
streets in Berlin. The 1st night Mrs
Hoffman was in Paris the city was
raised by Zeppelins, but there was no
noise or confusion, except the warning
by sirens. The people have become
too used TO raids to become excited,
she said.

GROWING POTATOES
AS EMERGENCY CROP

LINCOLN, Neb.-The growing OF
potatoes as an emergency crop to meet
the impending food shortage. is dis
cussed in Emergency Bulletin No. s.
Potato Culture" just issued by the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Nebraska, ''rhe import
ance of potatoes as a human food, the
present shortage of food supplies. and
the relative ease of producing pota-
toes make it important that potato
production be increased at this time"
says the bulletin. Potatoes rank
high as an article of human diet
probably End only to wheat This is
because they are a nutritious food and
are relatively easy to produce" Con-
troll of diseases is discussed in detail
In the bulletin. Fusarium wilt( which
