BIC CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917-Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption In History, Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes.

Corr, Americas greatest cereal crop,
is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child In America-were raised In 1917
1t was a mighty crop. The actual in
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store of grain is COM
ing on to the market in the nick Of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been sent to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
Just as 1t happened in the Colonial
days, the War OF the Revolution, and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list OF Americas food
commodities there is no item that is
better than corn. In buildings, bread
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn is without a
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number of delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are benefiting by an increas-
ed use OF the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal, contains all of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the fighting men
abroad and In the army camps at home
may be fed, and I'm order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America in the war,
the citizens of America are finding
corn Yrnduofc daIfoiouc opd no In IN HE
on 'wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that 'wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations IN Europe
England, France and Italy must be
fed from Americas great storehouse.
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use corn Is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And 1t Is the opinion of officials in
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits OF
Europe.
Americas greatest use of corn will
be in the form of corn bread and corn
meal, mixed with wheat in the making
of leavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent wheat -four,
corn meal can be used In bread max
ing. producing loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
1t Is fact corn mlllers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak-
ers have been successfully using corn
flour in bread making for several
years.
Hominy grIts, served at breakfast
with poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, Is an
other use of corn that will become un-
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes,
and corn oil for use In all kinds OF
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed in thousands OF
American homes.

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
, BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays 100000, 900 toward the cost Of
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
ltrary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets OF the world at pre-
ivailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs o cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for 8 cents
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more -four is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is a COM
pulsory adulteration OF 20 per cent.
and an allowable aduIteration of so
per cent
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 60 per
cent. pure at Its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with Ilrger extrac-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

1--WE have already exported the
whole of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands Of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food adj
mlnistration to restrict export Of wheat
so as to retain In the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people In their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
I'VE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
tlon made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December
alone"

POULTRY
CONSULTATION DEPARTMENT
Feeding Sprouted Oats

During a dry season when the
fiocks Of poultry are confined to yards
it is often difficult to keep up the sup
ply of green food. The yards become
hard and bare and the necessary green
food jim the ration must be supplied
FROM other sources. During a recent
visit to the college experiment sta
ton the writer observed one of the
caretakers feeding the yarded fowls
on sprouted oats and the birds APP
peared to be in the finest condition.
The yards many cases were entirly
bare but the oats seemed to be sub
stitute for the green food that the
birds would have gathered on a free
range and they seemed to be making
an excellent growth.
In one of the small poultry houses
wooden trays with screen bottoms
were placed on ding shelves. In these
trays the oats have been sprouted dur
the summer without artificial heat
and not tray examined showed any
sign CT mould and the green food pro-
duced could scarcely be exceiled for
poultry. Many poultrymen prefer to
use green food like mangels or cab
bage which are more easily prepared
for the flock but in cases where Yege-
tables are lacking the fine green
blades fro mthe oats are greatly APP
preciated by the hens.
In the winter sprouted oats are
valuable in the ration and they can be
>fed to advantage in varying diet, even
when the poultryman is well supplied
with other green food. Oats at the
vantage for sprouting for the flock, if
the birds lack range and have no 9TH
er green food.

New Breed of Leghorn

By crossing a black leghorn with a
white leghorn nine years ago, Paul f..
Gibbs of Canton, Ohio, is we'll along
on his plan to produce a new breed of
egg-laying chickens, breed which he
believes eventually will outstrip all
others. In ten years, he says, the
fowls will be well developed as a per-
fleet new strain.
Thee hicken he is developing is call
ed the barred leghorn, the feathers
being black and white, and barred as
is the barred rock. 1t resembles the
leghorn in height and weight.

Although. no formal announcement
has thus far been forthcoming from
the superintendent of public instruc-

this work and on these two days
schools will very probably be dismis-
sed to facilitate the distribution and
done the county school commissioners
will have general direction of the

With the necessary information at

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing cen
tiers of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is, of course. used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because of
the ship shortage.
While u boats made big inroads on
the worlds shipping. France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England In the mean
time was cut off from German sugar
100000 tons year--because of the
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced to turn
to America and the West Indies for
their sugar.

Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon II ships could
be sent to Java, where 100000 tons Of
sugar is waiting for shipment. But
the shipping situation Is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar
1t would take the boats one year TO
haul 100000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France.
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
its sugar consumption by 10 or 10 per
cent. when 1t Is made clear that such
sugar saving Is a patriotic act and
when 1t Is understood that there are
plenty of sweeteners available to take
the place of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup.

Sugar control has saved the Amer
lean public sleo. oo0. 900. Herbert Hoov-
er, United States food administrator.
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell
ing for IL cents = pound last August
and that II would have advanced to 20
cents q pound. with the world short
age as stimulus, had not the food
administration secured the co-opera-
ton of the renners and wholesalers
and fixed sugar price that today en-
ables housewives to buy sugar 1T from
Sh to o cents pound.
Every / cent raise In sugar from
September to January ] means U.s.
600, 900 to the American consumer"
Mr.. Hoover said. Numbers Of gen.
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the pubiic
robbed of $3.50, 0O0. 900 this year II we
had not taken these actions" Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
35 cents pound during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 20 per cent. of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
IS pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during the war IL
"a pounds, and In France each person
Is allotted a little over one pound a.
month.
"In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration" Mr.. Hoover declared,
"An appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 tons. We,
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped S5,426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to,
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors TO supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with so per cent. of normal supply.
This has been generally followed, al,
though such regulations were volun-
tary, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price is sIs to Scents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take profit OF no
more than so centssa hundred-half q
cent pound-on sugar. BY reason OF
food administration regulations, bind
ing refners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at,
from s to SA cents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
S1a to 8 cents pound.
There have been some violations of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and Is evidence itself of the prices
at which consumers would have been
mulct had we not interviewed. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses In ag~
gravated cases, and we have issued
warnings to first offenders In a great
many Instances through our local adj
ministrators."
