Industrial Agent ]. Robinson Of the
Great Northern railroad, who has been
all over the northwest since seeding
started, places the wheat production
at 315 million bushels.
My conservative estimate means the
northwest will this year produce $50
million more bushels of spring wheat
than last year.
The winter wheat states, accord.
ing to latest government estimate, will
produce 366 million bushels. That is
lis million bushels less than those
states grew in 1916.
So the northwest will make up that
winter wheat deficit with 65 million
bushels to spare.
North Dakota will be the banner
wheat state of America this year, wea'

the 1875 million bushel mark, as
against 40 million bushels last year.
South Dakota and Minnesota will

Score a circle around the stem of each one

things that taste very like luxuries amid the
rougher fare of the woods. There should be
included, besides the staples, different rellshes'
evaporated dried fruits, maple sugar tiny
jars Of cheese, crackers in tin boxes, and an
assortment Of reliable canned commodities.
For a stay of two weeks for four persons,
one ten-pound bag of cornmeal, five pounds
each of whole wheat and graham flour and
about three and a half pounds of wheat flour
should give an adequate bread supply. Half a
pound of tea, one pound and half OF coffee,
seven pounds of sugar, half pound of baking
powder and one-pound can of cocoa will
provide the necessary staples.

be all ready when one comes in tired after a
day of tramping or fishing.
For those, however, who must dispense with
this useful article, stone-lined baking hole
or oven can be substituted This should be

three hours; then scrape out the hot ashes,
put in the pan or pot with strong, tlght-ilt-

ashes and leave until the contents are thor
oughly cooked.
Flapjacks, spider cornbread, butter cakes,
fried mush, corn dodgers and steamed brown
bread have to take the place in camp of the
usual yeast raised bread, and it is wonderful
how good they taste when accompanied by
fried fish, bacon or ham.

TUST at this season, when so many faml-
a lies are enjoying the delights of camp
~ ing out" suggestions as to the supplies
that will be needed, as well as simple recipes
for preparing them to the best advantage,
will be welcomed by many housewives, who
will undoubtedly find that there is vast diff
ference between campfire cookery" and that
of their well-regulated gas ranges.
Naturally, the supplies will vary with the
length of time to be passed in camp, the num-
Der of persons to be catered for and the facill-
ties for obtaining such fresh supplies as butter
eggs, milk, vegetables, etc. If camp all
other things being equal, can be pitched not
too far from friendly farmhouse, it will be
found 20 lessen materially the housewives
cares and responsibilities of the culinary de
partment.
However, before the campers begin to plan
for the comforts of the inner man there are
other things to be taken into consideration,
namey-the location, pure water supply,
healthful surroundings, etc. Provision should
be made for the days that are not all sun
shine, for such are more than likely to come
And remember, above all things, that the place
of "kid glove individual" is at home or in
hotel-never in camp.

generally preferred TO cake; also, the
substitute chicken salad served for the
Sunday night supper will be found as
good as il is inexpensive.
Meat or its equivalent is served but
once daily: various vegetables, cheese
and egg dishes taking its place at
both the breakfast and luncheon. Very
little cake. pudding or pie is included,
fruit largely taking the place of these
more costly and indigestible COM
mounds. The housewife will also no
tice that the use of fried dishes is
cut 20 a minimum; when they are in
dulged in either bacon fat or clarified
beef dripping is used Rs the frying
medium.
Formerly with all meat orders the
butcher wOdld give good sized piece

piece. like every other food cOmmod-
ity, has shrunken in size. Still, il
every bit is carefully saved and the
trimmings from all steaks and rOasts
utilized sufficient ia; should he Kept
on hand for all cooking purposes.
In the arrangement of the menus for
the coming week, based on an eX-
penditure of sic, the meat purchases
will include a forequarter of mutton,
weighing about six pounds; a strip OF
honeycomb tripe, two pounds, and
fve-pound fowl for the Sunday dinner.
At the fish market select a two
pound mackerel and have il split to
broiI A twO-pOund slice Of halibut
will do for the fish dinner on Friday.
The latter will give a delicious fish
salad for the next days luncheon, and
it is particularly good with a butter

ing is given.
Three pounds of butter are allowed
for the week, with half a pound of Oleo
for cooking purposes; twenty-five eggs,
seven quarts of milk and three half
pints of cream.
In planning the weekly budget the
prices should run approximately at the
following figures:
