League Urges Activity

Now that seed time is really here,
renewed effort is being shown in the
direction of persuading women to do,
not only their agricultural bit, but
their agricultural all. Every woman
who has accessto piece of ground,
however small, should consider her
self a member of the land army and
make it her business to see that the
land is cultivated to maximum capa-
city. IL is most desirable that wom-
en- should have "a knowledge Of agri-
culture, since the agricultural well
fare of the country may eventually
pend on them as it does now in Eng
land and France.
The melting pot at State Head
quarters, "a Witherell Street, Detroit,
is still receiving contributions of all
old pieces of gold and silver.
The League wishes to join with the
other Government agencies in urging
the purchase of thrift stamps.
Now that registration is over, the
League wishes to urge women in and
out of the League auxiliaries to re-
member that while this detail may be
completed, the war is not. That a
woman's duty is not ended with reg
istration. If you are not immediate
ly called for the service for which
you have registered, find some other
patriotic work to do.

Housewives and canning club MEM
bers who wish to sell their canned
products are urged by the Bureau Of
Market, u. s. Department of Agricul-
ture, to study their markets at the be-
ginning of the season and pack ac-
cordingly to local demands for differ
ent products. Secure orders for can
ned goods before putting them up, is
the advice Of the specialists. Small
lots of non-standardized products are
difficult to sell except among local
buyers and are not purchased by the
Army, Navy, commercial dealers, or
any department Of the Government.
Home-canned food can be kept over
from one season to the next, and have
reserves to draw from for their home
table. 1t is good policy, say the spe-
cialists, for the housewife to provide
g reasonable surplus beyond the prob
able home consumption for the next
crop year. While the Bureau Of Mar
kets is giving aid to producers on
marketing problems, it says that it is
difficult to place producers of small
quantities Of different kinds of pro-
ducts in touch with buyers. 1t urges
home and club Gamers to learn the
marketing end Of their business Just
as do producers in other lines Of in
dustry.

Sweet potatoes, dried and ground
into a flour in an ordinary kitchen
coffee grinder, can be used in a vari.
ETY. Of ways in cooking. Specialists
of the U. s. Department of Agrficul-
ture believe that in many localities
where sweet potatoes are abundant
the making of sweet potato flour in
the home may furnish practical way
to save the sweet potatoes. from
spelling. The flour will keep well in
dry containers.
To make the flour the potatoes
should lrst be cut into small length
wise pieces and thoroughly dried. A
small drier that fits on top of the
oven or warming closet Of a range or
gas stove can be used. If an cleo
trio fan is available it will serve adj
mirably. The nut knife of a meat
grinder also can be used for this pur-
pose. Flour made by such process
can be kept for some time if put into
a dry container, or the flour may be
made from the dry potatoes as it is
needed. A quart of the dry potatoes
makes a cup of flour.
The use of sweet potato flour in
cake or bread making will materially
reduce the amount of other flour used.
The proportions may be half and half.
When used in cakes the sugar could
also be reduced little. Sweet potato
-four is useful as a thickening agent,
having the same value in this respect
as corn starch. Recipes for the use
of sweet potato flour have been tested
and found to be excellent by food
specialists of the u. s. Department
of Agriculture.

The station agent at Highland wir-
ed his division superintendent -four
cars strawberries to Chicago" The
superintendent added these four cars
to figures received from other sta
ton agents, and wired the total to
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
uashed back to points in producing
sections showing that a total of 40
cars of strawberries were on the way
to Chicago, and that comparatively
ew shipments were going to other
important markets.
"Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said strawberry
man, who received the wire from
Washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad

MILK CHEAP FOOD
SURPLUS IN STATE

Reports coming daily to the Michi-
gan Agricultural college tell of sur
plus of milk in many parts of the
state, while at the same housewives,
uniformed of this situation, are con-
tinuing to decrease their milk pur-
chases as part of their food-saving
program. The truth of the matter is,
according to DR.. Mary Anderson of
the extension department of M. A.
c., that milk is food which can be
used without stint, and is cheaper at
prevailing city prices than either
meat or eggs.
Every growing child" she de-
clares, SHOULD have at least one
quart of fresh milk daily, or it is es-
pecially essential, because of its high
food value and mineral salt content,
in building up the frame work Of
growing children.
milk is our cheapest source of pro-
TEN and even at present city prices
costs less than meat or eggs. Skim
milk is even cheaper, costing, from
the standpoint of food value, less than
one-haf as much as meat.
"A quart Of milk contains enough
protein or one-fourth the daily ration
of an average man or woman not en-
gagged in heavy physical labor.
Liberal use of milk at this time,
in addition to being economical in
the home, will help lessen our milk
surplus and decrease the need for
wheat and other Gods which we must
share with our allies"

Bee POPULATION IS
LESS BY BILLIONS;
HARD W|NTERCAUSE

1t was the "little busy bee" and not
the human population Of Michigan
which suffered most from the fuel
and sugar shortage Of the winter
months, according to b. +. Kindig
of M. A. c., state Inspector OF
apiaries, who reports that at least
$4,000 of the 100000 colonies of bees
within the state were killed by star
walton and the rigors of 1918 weather.
"The past winter was perhaps one
of the most disastrous ever expert
enced by the honey producing indus
try of Michigan" the inspector de-
clared. 1.-THE estimate of 40 per cent
is very conservative. Relatively few
Of the bigger COMMERCIAL beekeepers,
however, sustained any severe losses,
because these men were able to use
protective measures which saved their
colonies"
An effort to revive the industry and
put it upon a more businesslike basis
is under way, and for this purpose
meetings Of beekeepers are being ar
ranged in many counties. At these
meetigns an attempt will be made to
organize the bee men, assistance will
be given individuals which will enable
them to put their business on a more
efficient basis, and emphasis will be
placed upon the need for a maximum
production of honey. Representatives
of the college will be cooperated with
in the work by f. G. Baldwin, who
has been loaned to Michigan by the
federal bureau of entomology.
Among the first meetings will be
one for Jackson county at the home
of A. o. Carley, Munith,. on May "a;
and one for Washtenaw county, at
Ypsilanti, on May %.

for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars Of strawberries instead Of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service of the
Bureau of Markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received
checks that gave them a profit on
their shipments.
Helping the Uncle Henrys
Guesswork in marketing Of fruits

news service is working fer many

and consumers. No one profits when
city receives more of any fruit or

as q means Of correcting such condi-
ton it is necessary to know how much
produce is enroute to that city.

and with assistance from railroad Of

conditions throughout the country for
both shipper and dealer and places
