Use Buckwheat and Rye.

Of all the different grains recon1- mended to save wheat just now, buck wheat and rye seem the only two that can be grown and ripened in this coun- try. Buckwheat owes it's name to the resemblance of its seed to a beech nut, hence it's German name, Buch- weizen, corrupted to buckwheat The French call it Saracen wheat. Hitherto buckwheat has been mostly grown here to feed pheasants, but it is a most nu- tritious and quite pleasant food for man. It yields very abundantly, grows on poor soil, and needs little manure. The only trouble is it does not harvest well-in any but dry weather and that is probably why, hitherto, it has not been more grown here
