Department of Agriculture
Suggests Substitution Of
Corn as Imperative War
Move.

Wheatless days were proposed yesterday
by the Department Of Agriculture. Just
now this is only a suggestion. but far
sighted department officials are con-
vinced that unless some such method of
conserving the wheat supply, smaller
than usual this year, Is adopted, the
United States will feel a real food pinch
before another years grain crop is avail
able.
On wheatless days make corn the sub
stitute, Secretary Houston urges.
While the visible supply of wheat in
the United States Is only a little moro
than 100000 bushels and that of Can
ada about 70O00.00o, it is estimated that
the farmers of the United States now
hold nearly 75O,OOO,OOo bushels of corn.
Although this is 100000 900 bushels less
than last years reserve, there is ample
for feeding cattle.
Only per cent Of the corn grown in
the United States is used for human
consumption, and the average production
for the last fve-year period was 2,732, ,00O,- :
900 bushels. An additional per cent, a
Department of Agriculture official point
ed out, would mean 136, 10000 bushels.
which would represent a saving Of that
amount of wheat.
Corn has not been used for human food
nearly as much as its valuable nutritive
qualities warrant, Secretary Houston S
specialists declare. There is no important
dietetic difference, they say, between
corn and wheat as sources OF body fuel.
Many persons with a wheat-using
habit never have taken the pains to learn
to use corn" says the Department of
Agriculture statement in which it ap-
peals for a wheatless day. Bread is
convenient as a source of starch and pro-
tein, but in the ordinary mixed diet It
makes little difference whether one gets
the required cereal ration in the form of
raised light bread, mixed bread, or bis
cults, or as mush, hominy grits, or des-
serts."

II so, prosecutions will be begun
under the Sherman antitrust law.
