Farm Bureau is encouraging the use
of more potatoes as a substitute for
wheat. In opening her talk Miss Swift
said that the wheat situation was still
serious and getting more so every day,
consequently we must get used to US

as practical as any substitute and acts
more nearly like the white flour. She
gave several recipes for using barley,
not only in breads, but for puddings
The first thing which was made yes
tcrday afternoon was potato bread
Miss Swift began by saving that one OF
the greatest problems today for cooks Is
! that of making bread with substitutes
| Leaflets were passed to those present
containing recipes for good breads
with less wheat, including oatmca
and corn meal bread, oatmeal and bar
lev bread and potato bread. She urget
/ the use of milk with potatoes, saying
| that there are certain substitutes foun(
in eggs and milk that are not found il
other foods, and especially where there
are children in the family milk shoul'
not be cut down.
Her next bit of cooking was muffin
made of corn meal and mashed pota
to. The rolls and potato bread whicI
she had prepared earlier in the da.
were baked and each one was gwen
