What is the Mature of Liberty
Loan Bond?

There are two kinds of Liberty
Loan Bonds. Bearer Bonds are TO
be issued in denominations of $50,
Sl00. $500 and $1,000. These
Bearer Bonds. which are made pay
able to bearer. have interest cou-
pons attached which are detached
by the holder when the interest in
stallments they represent are due,
and can be cashed at at any bank
the same as United States Treas
ury notes.
Registered bonds are to be issued
which are registered as to both
principal and interest. in denomina-
tons 500. $500, $1,000, 5000,
$4,000, $4,000 and 100000;
checks for the amount of interest
due will be mailed out semiannual-
ly to the holders of these registered
bonds.
One especial advantage no other
bonds. National. State. municipal.
or corporate, have is that if the
United States during the continu
ance of this war shall issue other
bonds at a higher rate of interest,
the holders of these Liberty bonds
have the right to exchange their
Liberty bonds for bonds bearing the
higher rate of interest. dollar for
dollar.
They are nontaxab!e. If your
city. county. and State taxes are
three mills on the dollar, a not un-
usual tax. these bonds are equiva-
lent to ordinary corporate bonds
or other investments bearing 81
per cent.
In addition. no Federal tax
which war conditions may later
make necessary will affect these
bonds. The only tax these bonds
are subject to is the inheritance tax
which applies to all property Of all
kinds whatever.

Patriotism In The Kitchen

Each housewife who dous her
national.unifOrm. the kitchen apron
and starts in with the proper de-
termination to do her bit toward
thesreat food conservation campaign
is as much a patriot as the man
who runs pillow or carries a gun"
said Miss Bah Bell of the Missouri
College of Agriculture recently in
discussing the housekeeper's part
in the war.
However, most housewives are
becoming alarmed and confused at
the numerous warnings on all sides
Eliminate waste. Substitute in
expensive foods for expensive ones,
Use left overs" IF the women
representing the 100000 homes
of this country are to accomplish
anything they must stop talking and
begin work now in a sane and
systematic manner, said Miss Bell.
The first logical step for every
housewife is to make thoro study
OF food values. For the last fifteen
years home economics specialists
have been preaching food values
out very little attention was given
thlssubject until recent years. Now
when we stand face to face with
the present great food shortage every
woman sees the absolute necessity
OF having this knowledge. She sees
that without it she is helpless to
make the proper selections and the
proper substitutions."

on food values may be had on appli-
cation to the College of Agriculture,

When 1t Is Too Late For Corn
Plant Kaffir

Plant kalflr
When it is too late for corn. plant
kaffir. This is a suggestion by the
department of farm crops OF the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Kaffir sorghum is earlier maturing
than the ordinary varieties Of dent
corn is better able to Withstand
heat and drouth.
In yield and feeding value kafflr
compares favorably with corn.
Yield of grain may range from 20
bushels per acre to as high as IS
bushels under exceptional condi-
tons. Yields of silaee will usually
range between 8 and IL tons per
acre. In feeding value 100 pounds
of kaffir grain is considered equal
80 or 80 pounds Of corn.
There are many varieties Of kaffir
and other grain sorehums, but the
black hulled white kaffir is usually
the best This variety may be seed
ed, 4 to s pounds per acre. 2 to 4
weeks after corn planting time is
past. The plants should stand from
3 to 8 inches apart kafflr can uSu-
ally be secured from corn planting
machinery.
Soil preparation and cultivation
for kaffir should be about the same
as for corn except that the you ne
kaffir plants are less injured by the
harrow or weeder than young corn
plants. The common opinion that
kafflr is hard on the land" is due
to the cloddy condition of the soil
sometimes following the growth of
the crop, This condition is caused
by the shallow root system of the
plant and the exhaustion of the
surface moisture. Fall blowing and
manurine of kaffir land does much
to correct this temporary bad effect
When the growth of IKE kaffir or
sorghum plants is stunted by dry.
hot weather or when weak second
growth occurs. stock poisoning may
result if the fields are pastured
This poisoning is due to the forma-
ton of prussic acid i'll the stunted
plants The poison disappears with
the the return of favorabls wealth
er or with the curing of the crop
as hay or silage.
In sections too dry and hot for
the successful growth of dent corn
or where for any reason the corn
corp is a failure. kaffir may well be
used as substitute.

Late Potatoes Will Be Profitable

Late Potatoes Will Be Profitable
With the recent high ptices o.
vegetables it seems very probable
that late potatoes will be profitable
crop. Ordinarily the yield is toe
low but with IL price of more than
a dollar a bushel a very low yield
per acre will return a profit.
Lack of seed is the one serious
obstacle but with the arrival OF
new seed from the south and south.
west this may be satisfactorily met,
according to DR.. J. C. Written OF
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
Also there is still a small quantity
OF northern grown seed in storage
Ii southern seed are used, they
should be spread ont one deep in
the shade of a tree. Cd the north
side of building or in some other
diifused light where it is not too
warm, until they have turned slight
ly green and the sprouts have just
started TO grow. This breaks the
rest period aud if it is not done
they might not grow until next
spring.
If northern stored seed is used,
the same method may be used to
test for frosted seed. In this case
discard all potatoes which do not
sprout satisfactorily. Planting may
he done at any time between the
middle of May and the middle of
June.
Further information may be had
by writing TO the College OF Agri-
culture Columbia, Mo.
Nose Paris, who has been serious
ly i'll at his home in this city is still
