Minnesota State Fair
Food Training Camp
HOW TO SAVE FOOD
Food Director Hoover Gives Rules for
Saving BY Housewives.
SEPTEMBER 3 TO 8
"Saye save save"

Save, save, save
This is the message being sent
broadcast over the land by Herbert
Hoover, government food administra-
tor, and which must be needed if
America and her allies are to win the
war.
Mr.. Hoover and his aides have been
busily engaged during the past three
weeks completing plans for the food
training camps to be conducted at
the various state fairs and expositions
throughout the country, including the
Minnesota State Fair, September
to s.
One of the very first bulletins sent
out by the government food training
camp department, urges that every
person in the country take part in the
most important movement the govern.
merit has ever undertaken and that
rules for saving, which have been Of.
fered by experts who have made a
thorough study of the situation, be fol.
lowed in order that the best results be
obtained.
Following are some of the big points
the governments food administration
will endeavor to bring home to the
housewives of Minnesota through the
food training camp to be held at the
state fair and which will be brought
to their minds by lecturers and ex.
hibits and demonstrations:
Save one pound of wheat flour q
week.
Save one ounce of meat each day
per person.
Use every drop of milk, including
buttermilk and sour milk.
Save one-third ounce of animal fat
a day.
Save sugar by eating less candy.
Use the products Of your local pro-
Queer. Distance means money.
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
In order to convince the people that
by observing closely these foregoing
rules remarkably big saving through
out the country will result, the food
department points out that if every
housewife in the country will save one
pound of wheat flour a week there will,
at the end of a year, be 10000, 900
more bushels of wheat for export to
our allies.
Also it has been found that if one
ounce of meat per person is saved it
will result in a year in an additional
supply of 100000 cattle and by saving
One-third of an ounce of fat in each
home eVery day the yearly saving will
be $4,000 tons or 75O,O0O,O0O pounds.
In urging the people of the country
to adhere to the rules Mr.. Hoover en-
phasizes the fact that it only means
the practice of economy and not act
ually the denial of food. In other
words, Mr.. Hoover is of the opinion
that at least these amounts of food
have really been wasted annually by
American housewives.

People today are going back to the
methods of olden days, when canning
fruits and vegetables were unknown,
and are bending their energies toward
the drying of these things where it is
impossible to get cans and jars.
Undoubtedly much stress will be laid
on this method of food conservation
during the food training camps to be
conducted by the government at the
various fairs throughout the country
within the next few weeks. Drying is
merely the process of drawing off the
water and saving the real food.

To Eliminate Farm Pests.

Much waste is expected to be elm
mated and in some cases whole crops
saved as a result of the offer of Prof
A. G. Ruggles of the College of Agri-
culture, University of Minnesota, to
aid farmers in the state to combat
crop or soil disease.
In response to a request from Prof.
Ruggles the rural mail lists of all
farmers in Minnesota will be fur.
nished by the Postoffice department so
that the attention of each one can be
called to the help to be given by the
agricultural school.
Any farmer whose crops are endan.
gered by any kind of pest or blight
is asked to send sample of the de-
stroyer to Prof. Ruggles, who will
make an analysis of it and suggest a
remedy.

A Sahara of Ice.

The interior of Greenland, or the
inland ice, is so cold that it gets
virtually no rain, and the snow does
not have a chance to melt in the long
sunlit day. so the snow has ac-
cumulated century after century until
it has filled the valleys, and not only
leveled them with the tops' OF the
mountains, but the highest of these
mountain tops have been gradually
buriel hundred and even thousands
of feet in ice and snow. Today the
interior OF Greenland, with its 1,50O
miles in length and its 700 miles
maximum width, rising from 1000
to 5000 feet or more above sea
level, is simply an elevated and un-
broken plateau of compacted snow.
On the great frozen Sahara Of the
north the wind never ceases to blow.
It invariably radiates from the center
of the ice-cap outward, blowing per-
pendicularly to the nearest portion
of the coast land, except when storms
of unusually large proportions sweep
across the country. Such regular
thing are the winds of the regions,
and so closely do they follow the
rule of perpendicularity to the coast,
that it is always easy to determine
the direction of the nearest land. A
sudden chance in the wind indicates
the presence of large flords, and the
crossing of a divide can be detected
by the area of calm or chan geatle
winds which prevails there, which
are followed by winds blowing from
the opposite direction.-Robert F.
Perry, in the Century.
