Banana Flour the Latest.

With the United States facing a
shortage in wheat, according to the
forecast of the department of agri-
culture, and the heavy advance of
-four, the announcemnt that salts
factory substitute for wheat flour can
be madef rom bananas will be hailed
with delight by the entire country.
Germany has been forged to rely
upon her potato bread" for the last
year or two, but the shortage of the
crop and the subsequent high price
of the tubers have made it imprac-
ticable to use them in this country.
Banana flour, or banana meal, is
fairly common in the tropics and has
been so for years, but the peoples of
the temperate zones have not gener-
ally know of it. 1t is doubtful, de-
spite the enormous quantities of ba-
nanas brought into the United States,
whether most of us have more than
an elementary notion of the nutritive
value of this Godgiven fruit, which
| based on nutritive units stands a
good deal higher than certain of our
esteemed foodstuffs. w. l.. Rathbun
of New York, an authority on the
subject, says:
For four years | have been delv-
| ing away at the problem and today |
can produce banana flour that is no.
tably superior to the wheat flour of
general domestic use. Not only that,
but while the pioneers in the bust
ness failed to obtain a -four with
good keeping qualities, the banana
flour l have evolved will remain fresh
for years If held in a properly sealed
container, and even when not so
carefully packed it's edibility is UNI
harmed by the air for two years.
This is considerably longer than is
at all necessary under ordinary cir
eumstances when once the flour has
reached the average household.
I'm this country banana flour has
as yet only a very limited market,
and this mainly because but little
has been done to push the business,
the idea being to wait until the pub
lie realized the urgent need of new
foodstuff. The time has manifestly
come now. Where used here the
-four is held in high esteem, and
some of our hospitals are employing
it regularly in the feeding of con
valescents.
"Of course, banana -four or banana
bread are not for the sick alone by
any means, but l have mentioned
that phase of the matter simply to
emphasize both the nutritious and
digestible characteristics Of the flour
Biscuits made from a mixture of ba
mana flour and wheat -four are de
licious. and SO, too, is the golden
loaf. Indeed. there is reason to be
lieve that banana bread keeps fresh
longer than the wheat product and
does not become mouldy as quickly

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-With the advent of early
harvesting operations in Texas, the
possibilities of the government taking
a hand to either establish maximum
prices or at least curb speculative
operations, and as result of the
natural reflex action, following a long
period of advances wheat prices have
been tumbling during the past two
weeks. Contributing to this reaction
have been number of normal in
|
market holdings that have been held
by growers, the easing off in the
submarine situation, making export
possible, and the fact that a prefer
ence has been shown to move Can
adam stocks as against shipments
from this country. In the meantime
the crop outlook throughout the coun-
try is somewhat improved. with indi
cations of a normal spring wheat
yield, and possibilities of a moderate
increase to partly compensate for the
shortage in the winter wheat crop
There have been no heavy operations
in the Pacific Northwest for the past
two weeks.
Flour Prices have followed the
course of wheat. Trading has been
light, owing to the fact that stocks
in all positions have been augmented
by previous heavy buying, and the
disinclination to operate on declin
ing market.
Feed-Prices have not reacted tC
the same extent that has been ap
parent in wheat, but the undertone Of
the situation is easier in sympathy
with millfeed easier and grains show
ing slight recessiOns. Oats are weak
; showing a quiet undertone.

Merchants Should
Boost Home Trading

Commercial organizations in many
of the large cities of the country are
now taking up the movement to pro-
mote interest in home trading.
The departure is good one, but it
is much more necessary that the
small town retailer get busy than
that the large-town merchants take
measures to safeguard their trade.
Shoppers may take run out of town
to do their buying, but they do not
send out of town for merchandise when
dealer simply a convenience in emer-
gency.
When Farmer Jones has lean year
he buys at home, and puts it on the
books; when he is flush he sends his
money to Chicago. The city merchants
have not this incentive to boom the
buy-at-home movement.
When Mrs. Smith gets pair of rub
bers from Montgomery Ward that are
not satisfactory she does not have the
nerve to go to the city retailer and
ask him to exchange them from his
stock
The city retailer, when he prices his
merchandise is not importuned to
make correction to conform to the
bait" bargains that are contained in
the big mail order catalogues.
And it is not altogether the big
Eastern concern that interferes with
the business of the legitimate country
merchant. There are may smaller fry.
Merchants know the significance of
these cut prices, but consumers do not.
The buy-at-home movement should
be boosted enthusiastically persistent
ly and intelligently in the country
towns right now.
Conservation of resources by retain
ing the profits which accrue from mer
chandising Is one of the economies
that should be practiced in every com
munity, and this fact should be ham
mered home
Plug up the drain that brings i'm
poverishment, increases the burdens
of taxation, impairs educational IA
cilities, handicaps the building OF
roads and lowers the efficiency of local
markets.
The demand of the present emer
gency is for enlarged activities and
productions in agricultural sections
IA consummation of the back-to-the-farn
propaganda.
!, To make the best possible conditions
of living in the country districts is ar
: urgent requirement.
This can never be accomplished by
making those districts subservient tt
the big cities.
1t is up to the merchants to do theil
share in securing correction for sucf
conditions, and the first step is to ge
rid of the parasites that seek to com
mandeer the trade and money of pro
, ducers.

NAL The elimination of an eXcep-
tional buying movement, induced by
advancing prices, is restricting cur
rent demands in some lines, but the
lull does not indicate any decrease in
current requirements. The wide.
spread dissemination of advice that
the public practice economy in the
matter of purchases and requirements
has served in a measure to restrict
business in other directions, but there
are many indications pointing to the
purely temporary effects of this pro-
paganda, insofar as it relates to gen
eral business operations.
Indications point to a season of

nous disbursements for improve
