USE OF CORNMEAL
Few Housewives Know It Will
 Make Light" Bread.
Can Be Utilized in Any Proportion Up to 25 Per Cent sin Combination With Wheat Flour, Say
 Government Experts.

It may not be generally known to the housewife that cornmeal lends itself to the making of "light' bread in com bination with wheat four. It cannot, of course, replace wheat flour entirely, but may be used in any proportion up to 25 per cent of the total flour re- uuired and still produce an attractive loaf of bread. Although it's volume may be somewhat smaller and it's tex ture somewhat poorer than if made from all-wheat flour, such loaf will be light and spongy. with rich brown crust, wholesome and very palatable.
 Two methods for wheat-and-corn bread have been formulated and test ed by H. l.. Wessling, assistant chemist in the bureau of chemistry, United i States department of agriculture. Ac- cording to one method the raw meal is employed directly in preparing the dough and no extra time or labor is re- quired in making the bread this way. According to the second method, the meal is partially cooked before intro ducing it into the dough. While this does entail a slight amount of addi- tional time and labor, the result is a loaf of better quality, which we'll re- pays the extra effort expended.
 The first method calls for the use of the following ngredients-enough for four loaves:
 Two and one-quarter pounds or ,.faY rt nf sifted bread flour.
 Three-quarters of pound Cor two and two-thirds cupfuls) cornmeal.
 Two cakes of compressed yeast.
 Three level tablespoonfuls of sugar.
 One and one-half level tablespoon fuls of salt.
 About one quart of liquid (water, milk or equal parts of milk and wa ter).
 Three level tablespoonfuls of short ening, if desired.
 If milk is used, 1t should be scalded and then cooled until lukewarm. Less yeast may be used, but more time for rising will then be required.
 Make sponge with two pounds of white four, the yeast, salt, sugar and the lukewarm liquid. Cover and set in a moderately warm place to rise, where it will be free from drafts and where the temperature will be between so and SS degrees Fahrenheit. When the sponge has become very light, which should occur within two hours, beat it up thoroughly, add the softeDed shortening, if this is to be used, and

per month for every month that it is In storage after the first of Novem- Der, unless Arkansas farmers take steps to prevent the ravages of va. rious grain weevil. These losses can be prevented by the use of lime and by proper methods of storage.
 Lime Dust Method.
 Tn the case of peas and beans, the work of weevils can be readily kept in check by storing them away in lime dust. For this purpose use air slacked lime dust This is commonly found as waste in many lumber yards. Mix the peas or beans together with the lime at the rate of one part, by weight, or lime dust to two parts, by weight, of beans or peas. The peas or beans may then be stored away with the lime in sacks, barrels, boxes or other containers.
 Weevils in corn can be prevented by husking the corn in the field. In so doing you will leave most of the weeyils in the field Moreover, corn when stored with husks on will be subject to about four times the amount of damage done through wee vils than unhusked corn.
 In husking have a division in the wagon bed, on one sside put all the badly infested ears, and the other put the sound ears. A box may be at sehed to the back of the bed to re- ceive seeds ears. In storing, put all the sound ears in the back of the bin and those which are infested in front of the bin so that the latter will be used up first.
 Tn collecting for seeds ears, select ears with tight husks and well GOV cred tips. If this is borne in mind 1t will be possible in time to select strain of corn which will be practi- cally weevil resistant.

FERTILIZERS FUR
 FALL GRAIN CROPS
Most Soils of Arkansas Deficient in Phorus While Many Are Deficient
 In Both Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
By De F. Hungerford, Assistant Agronomist. University of
 Arkansas.

The prospects are favorable for continued high prices for wheat and other fall sown grain crops Every acre of such crops should be made to produce it's maximum yield in order that the world may be supplied with bread. The experiments conducted by the College of Agriculture of the Uni versity of Arkansas indicate that even when prices are normal, nitro gen and phosphate fertilizers can be used with profit on winter wheat With prices such as they are at pres ent the profits would be very much greater.
 Most of the soils of Arkansas are deficient in phosphorus, while many of them are deficient in both nitrogen and phosphorus. It is recommended that for upland soils which have not been maured recently, 400 pounds of a mixture containing equal parts or acid phosphate and cotton seed meal be used Nitrate of soda at the rate of 100 pounds per acre may De used instead of the cotton seed meal on soils which are not too sandy. For river bottom soils and the better. grades of upland soil. acid phosphate alone at the rate of 150 to 250 pounds per acre will give good results.
 Raw rock phosphate has been found to yield profitable returns, but it IS slower in it's action, sometimes re- quiring two or three years to produce results. Tn the present crisis, there fore, it is urged that the mere read fly available acid phosphate be used in order that large, immediate re- turns may be had.
 Fertilizers should be ordered at once The indications are that the freight car shortage will be moreacute this season than ever before, and since most other commodities will be giveE precedence over fertilizers, hence or ders made late in the season are likely to be subject to many delays.

high price is the fact that it will pro.

something that is in line with proof
hat the man who pays those long
prices knows his business. The fact
IS he is just bit more businesslike

Yes, it is better than the average two
sows will raise. 1t did not require the
same amount OF feed for the one sow
that two ordinary sows would eat,
however. You see right there was a
big saving in high priced feed. The
most Of her male pigs were sold,
bringing nearly the first price of the
mother, and there are still number
OF good gifts to be sold later. 1t is safe
to say that her first litter will bring
more than the first cost of the SOW
and the SOW still remains on the farm
to do business at the old stand. The

his death in 1890, and became her
owner until she died in the fall of
1900. She was big boned Berkshire,

that she was hardy and fine breeder
only expresses the truth in mild
form. Her progeny were two filters
O year and three filters each alternate
year, ten pigs at each litter. She was
productive at this rate until she died,
this gave us eight hundred and fifty
pigs, which is no exaggeration. Aver
aging the hogs at 800 pounds each
would be 225,0O0 pounds of pork,
which at 81 a hundred would be $780,

Four more brood sows to every Iowa

2. There will be money in hogs

all times can count on fair price for
his hogs so that it will be profitable
to him; to limit the profit of the pack
err and the middleman and to eliminate

rigid control of the packer. We will
try to stabilize the price so that the
farmer can count on getting for each

3. We have the feed. Federal crop

Following are the chief functions
OF a county farm bureau, such as was
organized in this county recently:
i. To coordinate the efforts OF ex.

4 organized or unorganized, and to or
ganize new lines of effort. 1t does
not supplant any existing Organiza-
lions or compete with them, but es-
tablishes clearing house through
which all may increase their efficiency
without In any way surrendering their
individuality. 49,:
q. To bring to the agent the cOun-
sci and cooperation of the best farm
ers in the county in planning and ex.
ecuting an agricultural improvement
program.
3. To furnish the necessary local
machinery for easily and quickly
reaching every community in the coun-
ty with information of value to that
community or to the county as a
whole.
To encourage self help through
developing and exercising leadership
In the rural affairs of each commun-
