FERTILIZER can increase production
without increasing labor except a

appreciate this fact, and are glyine
all the encouragement they can to the
use Of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the busi

the fertilizer dealer must have enough

a knowledge of the number Of cars

Government Authorities Backing 1t
The National Council Of Defense has
sent out bulletin on this very subject,
urging farmers to order their fall fer
tiliZers early so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
Of human food produced.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture through the States Re

and agricultural colleges and coun

The railroads are very urgent about
the matter The fertilizer manufac-

Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half OF the cars ordinari-

do the business, if only they are load
ed TO their maximum capacity.
Where full car load can not he

is to be filled with orders for neigh

Every loaf, cake or muffin made in
whole or in part from some other
cereal than wheat flour is entitled to
a place in the long list of war breads
that patriotic cooks have been zeal
ously making as their contribution to
the food conservation campaign. Most
housewives know how to make rye
bread and cornmeal mullins, but there
are many excellent ways Of using
wheat flour substitutes which are not
vet common knowledge.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
has collected in a little booklet, which
it calls BEST War Time Receipts, .
twenty splendid formulas for making
such interesting and patriotic foods as
rye rolls. hominy mullins and eggless,
milkless and BUTTERFLIES cakes. The
booklet is dedicated to the housewives
of the United States who are assisting
the government in it's work through
the food administration. I wish it
were possible for every cook and home
baker to have copy of the attractive
booklet. And that you may better be
prepared to help Mr.. Hoover save

of the Educational Department of the
