Slice of Bread a Day

From Everybody's.
 Suppose each one of the 20,000,000 families of the United States were to determine to do its bit by saving just one slice of white bread each day that is, not actually to cut that slice and put 1t by to become dry and un- eatable-but to reduce it's bread con- sumption by one good slice day, rep resenting about three-quarters of an ounce of flour. That would be 15.000,- 900 ounces of flour or 937,500 pound6 per day-about 4750 barrels. The wheat in a barrel of flour averages four and one half bushels so that when 20,0O0,- 900 families in the United States save 20,000,000 slices of bread in day they save about 21,500 bushels of wheat. At 16 bushels per acre, which Is a fair average for wheat production in the United States, that saving of 6 slice of bread per family per day saves the annual wheat production of 1850 acres. If that saving were kept up ev- cry day for year by all the 20,000,oo0 families in the United States it would add the wheat production of nearly 900 acres to send to our allies on the other side of the Atlantic.

DO NOT OVERLOOK THE VALUE
 OF POULTRY EXHIBITIONS
They Are National Institu- tions of Information, In- spiration and Publicity. Breeders Seldom Know
 the Rating of Their Stock Without the Score Card
By G. R. SMITH Author and Practical POuItryman

.<1'Sk srN t'sTsrr ' HUT
 The poultry show has come to stay. Ii is vital to the biggest business in the cuit"~e of pure bred fowls.
 Twenty years ago q great state would have two or three shows each year. The same state would have 20 or 30 now. There are excellent reasons for this mod ern and nationwide emphasis.
 Every breeder should study the advan- tages of public exhibitions. Thousands are losing heavily every year by slack ing along this line. Tenderfoots are too slow to begin. Professionals are resting after reaping liberal rewards There are patriotic as well as personal rea- sons for the biggest boom possible for this years poultry shows.

entire berries of wheat (30%),

seed rendered tasteless and

and .l0% wheat bran. That's

Flaxseed is the most nourish-
