CORN MOST EFFECTIVE
SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The most
effective way TO remedy the probable
shortage in the wheat crop is TO plant
corn. says the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Ordinarily the quantity of corn
produced in the United States is 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. 900. bushels
year. Not over 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 inter-
fering in any way with the feed need
ed for the support OF livestock.
In the past. with an abundance ol
grain of other kinds. corn mas not
been in great demand for human con-
sumption. But with other grains no
longer abundant, circumstances viii
compel more general recognition OF
the value of corn as human food. The
department is urging strongly the wild
er use of corn in the diet. II Is the
best substitute for wheat that we
have and can be utilized in breads
mushes and a variety of other ways.
We should make every effort to avail
ourselves Of it.
PLANT corn" then SHOULD be the
motto of every farmer in section
suited to the crop.

"GET A NEW WORLD"
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
Labor is Told ''The Reader We
Are to Cut Away From
Past the Better"

LONDON, May 15.-"Don't be al
ways thinking OF getting back to
where you were before the war" said
Prime Minister Lloyd George today
to deputation of the Labor Party.
who transmitted to him the resolu-
tions adopted at a conference regard
ing labor after the war.
=. Get a really new world" he urged.
Il firmly believe that what is
known as the after-the-war- settle
ment will be settlement that will
direct the destinies of all classes for
generations to come. Therefore, you
are doing we'll in giving your time
and thought to considering--and con-
sidering deeply and considering on
bold scale, on a daring scale. what
you are going to do after the war.
Il am not afraid of the audacity OF
these proposals. believe the settle
ment after the war will succeed in
proportion TO its audacity. The reader
We are to cut away from the past the
better are we likely TO succeed.
II hope every class will not be
barking back to the pre-war condt-
tions, because if every class insists on
getting back to the pre-war condi-
tions then God help this country! l
say so in all solemnity.
IF audacity is the thing for you,
think out new ways. think out new
methods. think out new ways of deal
ing with old problems"
Being questioned lin the house of
commons today regarding strikes and
labor agitation in Lancashire and
and elsewhere. which have diminished
the output of munitions urgently
needed on the British front, Chancel-
Ior Bonar Law answered that the
government is satisfied this unrest is
due mainly to men who appear to be
as much interested in upsetting the
authority of Established trades unions
as in causing trouble to the nation in
time OF war, the agitation, he said
is disowned and reprobated by the
| trades unions.
