WASHINGTON. April 11.--Corn
meal is a cheap and valuable food
stuff which is not in as general use in
the American home as it ought to be.
A pound of dry cornmeal provides
about five times as much energy and
tissue building protein as does a pound
of raw potatoes. Just now pound of
cornmeal costs 1-3 to l.. is much.
When potatoes are scarce and ex.
pensive, cornmeal makes an excel
lent substitute. 1t is not however, a
perfect substitute for potatoes be-
cause, as 1t is prepared by modern
milling methods, it contains fewer
minerals and other valuable substan-
ces. So when cornmeal is substitute
ed, balance it with another vegetable.
a salad or a fruit
Cornmeal mush for breakfast or
supper is a standard and paiatable
dish. Fried, it is an excellent substi-
tute for fried potatoes, There are
dozens of cornmeal dishes in addition
to the various varieties of cornbread.
What is known in the north as Bos-
ton Brown bread is composed of about
IL rye meal and IL cornmeal Pollen.
Ia is another cornmeal dish extreme
ly popular throughout southern Eu.
rope and in certain parts of the Unit
ed States. Tamales is another corn
dish in high favor when properly
made.
IL spectators corner the potato
crop, or as was the case in 1916, il
the potato crop should be short, corn
meal Is the next best thing. Rice Is
partial substitute for potatoes, but
rice now costs more than cornmeal
Cornmeal is very wholesome.

Our country is now at war. For the
past three years this department of
agriculture has done all in its power
to warn you to get ready for the pres
ent emergency. For a number of years
1t has diyersification in the south as
basis for greater safety, both agri-
cultural and economic. Since the war
began in Europe it has drged safe
farming and some of you have needed
that warning. Our greatest safety
now lies in food production and saw
ing waste products.
Farmers, what are you going TO do
toward helping feed the men who are
shouldering the gun in order that our
country may remain free? What are
you going to do toward feeding the
wives and children of our soldiers as
we'll as those who are even now fight
ing out battles for liberty and democ-
racy? When the nation faces a crisis
we must have the best farming in it's
history 1t is the duty of every man,
woman and child i'm the state having
the use or control of ground to make
1t produce large yield, not for fl
naneial gain but as a patriotic SER
IN 80
dollars are spent each year by the
people of West Virginia to secure
products from other states. Our ma
ton may soon need all the surplus
food produced in those states and
West Virginia must feed herself and
also help feed our brothers at arms
across the sea. Labor is short, hence
the best tools and all labor-saving
devices must be used to make it pos
sible for every farm laborer to cover
as much ground as possible. Farm
women and girls have important work
to do in the garden and orchard in
raising poultry and especially in can
ming, preserving and conserving our
food
Seeds of all kids are short. What
are you business men going to do to-
ward helping the farmers secure their
seed? If you have seed for sale or
know where it may be secured give
the county agent full particulars so
that he may bring it to the farmers
attention.
Every man in Martinsburg should
get behind the movement which the
mayor is making toward securing all
vacant lots in and around the town
for agricultural purposes. Each fam
lily should be glad to help the move
ment by taking a plot which he WIN
give to you and see that it is made
to produce every possible pound of
food.
Save the breeding stock. Don't sell
cows, heifers. mares, sows, ewes or
hens. Keep them for breeding. If
the breeding stock is sold where will
you get the means of supplying the
meat for the country.
Let's all get together and even
though we cannot shoulder a gun let's
help our country win the war by be-
ing able to help feed the world.
The county agent knows where $50
bushel of soup beans, one carload of
oats and 6 bushels of soy beans may
be secured here in the county. Write
to him for information.

BRING HIGH
PRICE When STACKED
Vines Ripen Normally And Give a
Bright, Nutritious Hay Equal
To Cowpea Vines

Instead Of small wrinkled nuts and
poor quality hay, as results from sun,
cured peanuts, stacked peanuts ripen
normally and develop heavy nuts OF
excellent quality along with bright,
nutritious hay equal to eowpea hay for
feeding purposes, says Mr.. Tabor OF
the State College OF Agriculture
To stack peanuts select stout pole
eight to ten feet high set firmly in
the ground and nail two cross pieces
about a foot above the ground Tho
peanut vines should be gathered be-
fore they dry out and piled about the
pole. The first vines are placed on
the cross pieces with the nuts toward
the pole and tho stack should be one
vine thick as measured from the pole.
The stacks are made as high as one
can conveniently reach and the tops
capped with grass to keep the birds
from the nuts at the top OF the stack.
Five to six weeks is generally long
enough to allow for curing, though tho
peanuts will keep longer in the stack
If other farm work is pressing. When
the peanuts arc to be hauled to the
picker, the poles are leosened and the
stacks loaded without tearing them up.
In unloading grasp the poles below the
cross pieces, and shake the entire
stack on the picker or thresher.
The acreage Of peanuts in Georgia
has increased according to crop esti-
mates, 220 per cent this year. Mills
in southwest Georgia crushing cotton
seed have arranged to take care Of all
the peanuts offered and it is thought
that a considerable amount will be
crushed.

KEEPING TREES IN HEALTH.
Roots and Crowns Must Be Made to
Balance PROPERLY,

Balance Properly.
Well nOurished, healthy trees are less
liable to the attacks of insects than
those that for lack of sufficient plant
food are making a slow and uncertain
growth. To keep trees well fortified
and in vigorous condition is the best
possible insurance against insect dep
relations and all forms OF disease
A soil which supplies abundant nu-
triment and moisture is the prime req
uisite for successful tree culture. In
the forest natural conditions are ia.
yorable in this respect, but in the open
field or town they are frequently quite
the reverse. The roots are robbed Of
the required moisture and air by heavy
sod or pavements TO grow trees un-
der such conditions requires scientific
care In the way of fertilizing and prun-
ing to maintain proper balance be-
tween the roots and the crown or top.
If the nOurishment received by the
roots Is Scanty the judicious thinning
out of the branches of tree has much
the same effect as soil improvement.
A heavy top cannot be adequately
nourished by stinted root growth,
and If not pruned the effect is quickly
indicated by dying branches here and
there, natures way of maintaining
the right balance between root and
crown. 1t is better for the tree to fore
stall nature in this respect by timely
and careful pruning. Dead branches
are not only unsightly, but the scars
thus left are slow to heal and invite
disease and decay.-Tree Talk.

Conscription Lists Are Being Checked to Get Line On Those
 Who Failed.

All eligibles to register under the conscription law. which period end ed September End, who have failed to do so, will be rounded up by governmental officials just as soon as District Clerk J. w. Bell can fin ish, checking up the lists which have been received from the various reg istration points.
 Clerk Bell has received about half of the returns from the total of fifty-five registration points, forty eight being at places outside of in corporated towns and seven from municipalities. With the entire of flee force, he is making a careful verification of the returns. Upon the completion of the check fairly accurate list may be compiled of those eligible to register.
 It is the opinion of several of the officials in this Division that in this immediate section will be found more failures to register than elsewhere in the Panhandle. At Wrangell and Craig two arrests have been made.
 Marshal Tanner stated this after noon that nothing would be done until such time as a correct list of those failing to register had been prepared. Then, systematic effort would be made to bring in all de linquents.
