the evidence of those who used the
fertilizer as to the effect it had on
their crops was incompetent; that
the only evidence that could be
legally introduced in defending
notes executed for fertilizer was
that the fertilizer did not contain

CORN m PLACE OF WHEAT

To eat more corn and less wheat il
simple way, which everyone car
adopt, to help in feeding the allies
across the seas. Corn is Q distinctly
American product. We raise approx
mately two-thirds Of all that Is grown
in the world; we are accustomed TO i.
and we know how to prepare 1t for
the table. In Europe, with the excep-
tion Of Italy, Austria Hungary, and
Roumania, It is almost unknown and
many people do not know how 70 cook
corn meal and similar products. We
can use our corn to much better adj
vantage here than they can abroad;
and the more corn we do use the more
wheat, rye, and barley will be avail
able for export.
Corn meal costs less than the other
popular cereals, and its nutritive value
compares favorably with that Of
wheat. It Is somewhat deficient in
protein or ssue-building material,
but this characteristic Is not so mark
ed In the case Of the old fashioned un-
bolted meal. Those who prefer this
can obtain it readily by grinding the
corn themselves at home In hand
gristmill.
The Secretary Of Agriculture has ap
pealed for an expansion Of the corn
acreage on the ground that corn is
the leading feed and food crop Of the
United States, and that it can be
grown successfully over greater area
than any other. Undoubtedly farm
ers will act on this advice. If the con-
sumers do their part as well, there
will be that much more wheat avail
able for export.
Detailed suggestions for the use Of
corn in making bread and In other
ways can be had from the United
States Department Of Agriculture up
on request.
