Potato Flour Bread Good

The pressure of war conditions has
brought to light the value of potatoes
in bread making, both in England and
America. AS an economy in England,
potato -four was mixed with wheat and
a peculiarly delicious bread resulted.
In this country potato flour is not
available to the average housewife,
and the United States Department of
Agriculture has therefore devised re-
ceipes for the making of bread with
plain boiled potatoes mixed with the
wheat -four.
This bread is said to be not only
complete success from the economy
standpoint, where potatoes are cheap
and plentiful, put to supply an attrac-
tive novelty in the household menu,
and welcome variation from the u.s.
ual bread monot my. 1t has rich
brown crust. is tender and elastic. and
the flavor is preferred by many to the
bread made wholly of wheat. 1t con-
tains more moisture than ordinary
bread, and, therefore, has longer keep
ing qualities. For the making of po-
tato bread, at the present time. it is
advisable to use the early perishable
potatoes, since the other varieties arc
capable Of storage until spring.
"Culls" also may be 80 used.

ALL OREGON CROPS
HURT BY DROUGHT

II Serious injury to Oregon crops from
high temperature and long drouth is
reported by county agricultural agents,
without exception. General shortage,
especially in dry farming distJcts, is
the substance of all reports. K
In Wasco county but eight Inches of
rainfall are reported since September
l, 1915. Complete failure of the grain
sown on Spring plowing. short crop on
summer fallow and, ia fair crop on fall
sown lands are reported.
Wheat and barley are poor in Wheel
er county.
In Malheur hot winds have about
Wiped out dry farm crops and mate
rally injured irrigated grains
In Southern Oregon the drouth has
affected shallow rooted crops, and corn.
sugar beets, beans and grasses are
short except where irrigated. Beans
bore heavy blooms, but few pods set.
Potatoes look well. but tubers are poor.
Notwithstanding larger acreage, the
crop will not top that of last year.
Apples and pears are IN good condition
except on shallow soil hillsides. In
Josephine upland pastures are dired UP
and some crops are an entire failure.
In the Willamette Valley the red
clover seed crop is reported not worth
cutting in many fields of YamhilI and
Lane. In other fields of Lane county
pu-np irrigation has saved the crop.
and also that of potatoes. A field of
rs acres of potatoes would have been
an entire loss had not the owner in

NOISY PRISONERS
At WALLA WALLA

After another night of turmoil the
state prison at Walla Walla was quiet
early Wednesday, but Superintendent
Henry Drum expected the noise that
has endured for the last two days to
break out fresh before nightfall. The
trouble began Monday morning,
when three life termers Sears. Casey
and Johnson-started ''serenade. !"
which was taken up by the other pri-
soners and lasted until near ly noon.
Tuesday night the prisoners began
their shouting and noise making again,
and it was not until 2:s0 in the
morning that they quieted down.
The prison authorities segregated
the leaders and changed the men
around in an endeavor to better the
situation.
Superintendent Drum attributes
the trouble to feeling against some
OF the guards, particularly against
Deputy Warden Burk, which, he says,
is mostly unjustified. Also, he says,
there are many I. w. W. members in
the prison, and they have been preach
ing their doctrine as extensively as
they could, and this has added to the
general unrest.
The convicts are embittered against
Burk, it is said outside the prison, be-
cause Of his alleged cruelty. while at
the penitentiary it is said it is because
he has thwarted several plan of es-
cape.
The yelling and noisemaking cam
paign was taken up again about 10 O
clock and continued at noon. The men
were being allowed to keep it up,
there being no practical way of stop
ping them, in the hopes that they will
tire themselves out and quit.

WAR time DEMANDS
INCREASE PRODUCTION

The problem of supplying the allies
with meat has developed mainly on the
United States, and daily the burden is
growing more onerous, according to a
statement just issued by the food ad-
ministration. War time demands ave
been so great that Europe has been
making alarming inroads on its herds
with a consequent reduction in it's
domestic supply.
Although the European countries
have drastically reduced meat con-
sumption among war workers." says
the statement. "this saving has been
overcome by the greatly increased de-
mands to supply men in the armies and
shops and women who have taken up
physical labor. Millions of individuals
to whom fresh meat twice week was
luxury are now, by necessity of their
extreme physical labor, eating it twice
daily.
The war has injected into an already
difficult situation a number of vicious
conditions which are jeopardizing the
ultimate animal supply of the world.
The production of fodder in Europe has
been diminished by the diversion of
productive labor to war, and its import
has been curtailed by shortage in ship
ping and by the isolation of markets
by belligerent lines.
The problem facing America is not
only of supplying the immediate de-
mand of the allies. but one which is
more far reaching in its significance.
As the war goes on there will be con-
stant lessening of the capital stock of
the world food animals. Among our
western allies the demand outruns fur
ther every day the decreasing produc-
tion, and as shipping becomes further
shortened by submarine destruction,
further destruction of the herds must
ensue "
