Most Effective Substitute for Wheat

The mos, effective way to remedy
the probable shortage In the wheat
crop Is to plant corn. says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Ordinarily the quantity of corn
produced in the United States T. from
three to four times the quantity Of
wheat, but only a very small portion
OF the crop-from 5 To 10 per cent
has been used for human food. This
amount may be estimated In normal
times at about 100000 bushels
a year. Not over twenty-five per
cent has been exported in peace
times. \ relatively slight Increase
In the corn acreage. therefore, will
place many millions OF bushels more
of human food at the disposal of the
world without interfering In any
way with the feed needed for the
support OF live stock.
In the past, with an abundance Of
grain OF other kinds. corn has not
been In great demand for human
consumption. But with other grains
no longer abundant. circumstances
viii compel more general recognition
OF the value OF corn for human food.
The department Is urging strongly
the wider use OF corn In the diet.
II Is the best substitute for whea,
that We have and can he utilized
In breads, mushes. and a variety OF
other ways. W. should make cyery
effort TO avail ourselves OF IL.
Plant corn" then. should be the
motto OF every farmer In n section

Isere.ssd Sugar Prod.c.,o.

The need for increasing our do
nestle sugar supply Is urgent, says
Truman G. Palmer. OF Warrington.
ID. c.. q noted expert on sugar pro-
duction. The result of the war In
Europe has been materially to de-
crease the worlds sugar supply and
at the same time TO increase its uses.
The conduct OF modern warfare has
developed 30 many additional uses
| for sugar that sugar consumption
in Germany has about doubled Soon
the United States will be in need OF
a greatly increased supply OF sugar,
and the 1917 world supply will be
several million tons below normal.
During the past two years our
beet-sugar factories have exper-
fenced great difficulty In securing
beet-sugar seed from foreign coun-
tries. but aided by the department q
fair supply OF seed has been secured
from Russia and considerable high
grade seed is now being grown in
the United States. While some factor
les are not amply supplied. others
have more than enough seed to meet
all 1917 requirements, and with the
present and threatened shortage OF
odbai ~ 10 Nh' paAiicti' outs VI OOku
sugar factories and farmers to plant
to sugar beets every acre for which
seed Is available.
Factories which are supplied with
seed in excess OF their normal re-
quirements for 1917 planting are
earnestly requested not to conserve
their seed for next years planting,
but to plant every acre possible this
year and farmers in the beet-sugar
districts are urged to extend their
paintings OF sugar-beets.
II each OF the 5000 American
farmers already engaged In sugar
beet culture would plant but one ad-
ditional acre OF beets. the additional
$1,000 acres SO planted would pro-
vide an extra l70.000,000 pounds
of sugar. or nearly 2 pounds per
capita which would materially aid
in supplying the extra demand for
sugar for war purposes and It also
would help TO stabilize the price OF
sugar.
Farmers removed from the sugar
districts should strain every effort to
Increase their acreage OF cereals, but
In the sugar districts they should
pidhi as W Dtttf 8h VO8-
sible. not only because OF the extra
needs for sugar. but because human
energy supplied from the sugar pro-
| duced from an acre of beets Is near
ly five times as great as the energy
to be derived from an acre OF wheat.
The human energy. or the power
to do work. which is supplied by Z
pounds OF sugar amounts to 1914
calories, OF pound OF roller wheat
\ flour, 1903 calories- An acre of land
yielding Is bushels OF wheat. will
furnish 619 pounds OF patent flour
which will furnish ss2.257 caloriea
with which to create and maintain
human energy. An acre OF ground
yielding 10 tons OF sugar beets will
produce 1880 pounds OF granulated
sugar which will furnish 4.77O.820
calories or nearly five times the en-
ergy which can be secured from an
acre planted TO our best cereal. Thus
the sugar factory managements
should stimulate increased paintings
and farmers within reach OF sugar
factories should increase their beet
acreage In preference to all other
crops.

being able to save only his books.
fortunately he felt no shock from the
electricity and is able to attend to
business, il he had any to do. How.
ever, the insurance adjuster came the
next day and paid Mr.. Welsh in full
for the amount of his insurance,
everything being total loss. Mr..
Welsh will put up strictly first class
shop, built of birch, 20x36 and equip
ped with all the latest appliances for
good work, which will certainly be
a fine improvement. '''

AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR DEFIANCE
Auto in Which Vail and Manila
People Are Riding, Overturnes
on July 4
ALL ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY
Going Up Long Hill Engine Stopped
and Emergency Brakes Fail
to Work-Car Broken

MANILA, July 1O.-(SpeciaD -
About six p. m, of the evening of
July 4th, party of four young peo-
pie, namely, Miss Fern Farley and
Miss Elsie Shuberter. of Vail Iowa.
and Mr.. j. w. Johnson and Thomas
Mcmahon. of Manila. were motoring
from Defiance towards Earling, Iowa.
Miss Farley was driving the automo-
bile, Ford. Travelling at a slow
speed up long hill the motor was
killed and the car started backward
down the hill. Both the foot and
emergency brakes were applied but
failed to hold sufficiently to stop the
car. The front wheels became cramp-
ed, causing the car to back off the
road and up a small embankment in
such manner as to completely up
set the car. Mr. McMahon was thrown
through the top and clear of the
wreck and succeeded in releasing Mr..
Johnson, who with Miss Shuberter
was pinned under the back, seat. Miss
Farley was caught under the steer
ing wheel between the front seat BY
almost super strength Mr.. johnson
and Mcmahon succeeded in lifting
the car from Miss Farley, who was in
semi-conscious condition. She re-
gained consciousness in about thirty
minutes. Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Nc
Mahon succeeded in righting the car.
The party escaped serious injury,
suffering only from few bruises and
tch Thn Uin1 G n ia1l
of the car were broken. The young
lady, who was driving the car at the
time of the accident is said to be an
experienced driver and averted more
serious results by sticking to the
wheel. 70 explanation can be given
for the accident further than that the
wheels were so turned that an un-'
usual leverage was put on the car
when 1t backed up onto the embank-
ment.

Quoted an implement shop, until just
