"War Bread"

The Government has just sent its representative to
Kentucky all the other to teach people how
to make "war bread"
The fact is wheat crop for this year is 4oP off,
Where we used to have barrels Of flour shall
only have 90.
Now common people shall not have much more
money to buy flour with than had last year. few
excited people will pay the high price for flour but most
of us must get along with less
This Government teacher who has been instructed
bv all the scientists tells that if would whole
wheat -four not sitting out the bran, should get
nutrment and have quarter more flour. Also with
wheat -four may be mixed corn meal and bean meal
which cheaper and the bread the whole will be
better Undoubtedly all America will be healthy,
living this war bread" than the fine flour bread
that has been the fashion
Now this is sample OF the preparedness" which
every household should make. Prices are high. We
must learn live less and to go WithOnf tie things
that ac do not need We shall all be richer in the end
for having good serious study of economy.

3. Supply capital where needed.
1. Organize for economy in har-
vesting and conserving crops.
5. Arrange for transportation and
marketing these crops.
6. Plan economy in all matters of
home consumption.
In many sections the young men
who do not work will be put in Jail
and then have the working statute
applied. II is a genuine case Of
work il we wish to eat" This
county committee should decide up
on the products that the county may
best plan to ship out. For instance,
one county should concentrate on
sweet potatoes. another on irish po-
tatOes, another on soy beans, COW
peas OF some other definite crop.
In many sections. the bankers and
business men should cooperate in
the buying of seed, fertilizer, pea
thrashers, Gamers and store houses.
thus assisting the farmers OF the
different sections of the county to
care for this surplus. The price OF
meat will make it necessary for
many of our people to use more
plants of the legume class, such as
peas, beans, etc.
Corn is high in fat, and is not a
complete food, but corn and beans
together would make a complete
balanced food and feed an army.
Our house wives must give special
attention to the problem Of cooking
in an attractive way such crops as
COW peas and soy beans. A bushel
of either of these contains twice as
much food as a bushel of corn, and
can be produced at less expense
than two bushels of corn.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1917-04-28

half hour before I met him and he
gave me the message sent out by
the government. The first request
Of the commission from France and
England is that the U. S. take over
the responsibility of producing the
food necessary TO feed the armies on
the battle fields. This means that
We must increase by one-half our
production of staple food supplies.
The last years food production in
the u. S. was abuot nine billion
dollars. and we must be ready to
ship abroad half this amount.
This increase in production must
he brought about without increas-
ing the cost. IL is unfair TO force
the high prices on the government
at this time, and we should always
keep in mind the fact that the gov
eminent could fix the price on all
Of our products. President Wilson
says that this will not be done if
we can produce this surplus at a
moderate cost. Otherwise, the
government will be compelled TO
take. hold of all the crops We
produce and set the price.
Then the government will i'm
mediately take hold Of all hogs and
cattle and the price of beans, etc,
will be set at so much per pound
and no more. At least One-half OF
the food in our local stores is pro-
d,Iced out of the state of Kentucky.
Each state must produce for itself
enough to maintain its people and
the surplus can be sent to the gov
eminent. This will mean the great
est production that the people of
Kentucky have ever undertaken.
The difficulty that we encounter
in this increased production is that
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1917-04-28

The wheat supply in our country
is very short and these legume crops
of the pea family may be ground in
to meal. which, when mixed with
corn meal, will make a new kind Of
bread of very high quality.
We must not pillow up our meadows
for these new crops for the sup
ply of hay will be very high and the
supply short. We must save all Of
our hay and grass land and use the
available barren land for these new
crops. The average farmer can
make q fair crop of corn by work
ing his crop about three times a
season, while these new crops will
demand at least five workings if
they are To be successful.
The supply of seed for these staple
crops is very low and we should
arrange at once TO purchase all the
seed we can use from some reliable
seed house. We must not enter
into this new movement with the
idea Of getting rich. Each farmer
must decide that il is wiser 10 help
feed the armies Of Europe than to
furnish a son TO die in the trenches.
II is probably true that the conscrip-
tion bill will pass both houses OF our
national government within q few

unit than any other farmer in the
world, but he has never had to do
his best. He needs TO do his best
now. II is very important that the
farmer devote his principle efforts
to the production of such crops and
the employment of such methods
as are well established in his CON-
munity and are likely to yield the
maximum in food and clothing
material.
Within the next fifty days, the
final measure Of crop acreage and
food production for this year will
have been established.
We urge the importance Of the
immediate mobilization of all avail
able service OF the Federal and
State Departments Of Agriculture
and the Colleges Of Agriculture in
cooperating with the press, the
banks, the commercial organizations,
the religious and the social societies,
that all may heartily join with the
farmer in performing the patriotic
duty Of providing and conserving
food.
Because Of the world shortage OF
food, il is scarcely possible that the
production OF staple crops can be
too great this year.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1917-04-28

we are not accustomed TO producing
enough of the foods that We use in
mid-winter. IL is customary for our
people to have more beans, yege-
tables, etc, than they can consume
in season and then be compelled TO
buy the same class of foods in mid
winter.
Flour and sugar are two staple
products that will be absolutely out
Of reach Of the average consumer.
We must grow our own sweetening
and bread; this means the increasing
of our sorghum crop, or our buck
wheat crop and of all other kinds
of grains that can be used in bread.
The standard To be desired is that
each county, locality and each state
will be able TO feed itself without
importing the large amounts of
-four, beans, sugar and canned goods
that we have been accustomed TO.
Each county should have an organ
ization of business men and farmers
who will definitely make plans TO
discuss and provide for the emer-
gency in the following ways:
4. Increase the acreage and the
methods OF cultivating staple
foods crops.
2. Supply labor where needed.

hours and this will certainly mean
an increase in the number of men
that will be called upon in our own
section. Kentucky has now enlist
ed but II percent. Of the men that
will be needed. IL is a very inter-
esting and important fact to keep in
mind that the young men who vol
unteer their services for work on
the farms are not likely to be draft
ed into the army. All patriotic
young men should be willing to
work on the farms for the same
wages that they will receive if they
went to the army, which is $500
a month and keep.
There are many young men now
in schools and colleges, at Berea and
elsewhere, who do not spend the
summers at home on the farm be-
cause they say the farm does not
produce the surplus which can be
sold and turned into money to pay
college bills. We now have a great
opportunity to show our patriot
ism, develop our farms, and bring
our country to the front. May we
not count on every man from Berea
taking hold of this movement as
genuine opportunity and a chance
for service?
A very concise statement of the
farmers responsibility has been
sent out by the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture and is in brief as fol-
lows:
The Farmers Responsibility
Upon the farmer rests in large
measure the final responsibility OF
winning the war in which we are
now involved. The importance to
the nation of an adequate food sup
ply, especially for the present year,
cannot be over-emphasized. There
fore, the man who tills the soil and
supports the soldier in the field, and
the family at home, is rendering as
noble and patriotic service as is
the man who bears the brunt Of
battle.
The American farmer has long
shown his ability to produce more
food per man and at lower cost per
