SEED CORN SITUATION

Reports from 95 of the seed corn
census taken for Audubon county in
dictate that there is in sight a good
supply of corn from which to select
seed, according to County Agent, Paul
M. Wolf. These reports show that
the farmers over the county have
2413 bushels of seed corn to sell,
while the amount of seed needed by
those who want to buy is 2549 bush
els. The reports indicate 1920
bushels of 1916 and 46,44S bushels of
1917 corn in cribs.
Whether this corn will be good for
seed will depend on the individual
ear test" stated County Agent Wolf
today. find that only 492 percent
of the 1445 farmers reported to date
intend to make individual ear tests
Now really this ought to be made by
100 per cent of the farmers in Audi.
bon county, especially since every eff
fort of this kind will help to produce
a war crop this summer.
1--WE will not have to go outside fol
seed corn if every farmer will get
busy with his seed corn and test all
the cars that look like they might
grow. Let every man keep working
at this seed corn problem from now
on until every neighbor in the county
is supplied, and all the corn that will
grow is selected and we will. not only
have enough corn for our own county
but will be in a position to help the
adjoining counties. While doing this

DAWSON -HIHDERG
WEDDING IN DES MONIES

George Dawson Of Battery d.,
l26 U. S. f. A, Camp Cody, N. M.
and we'll known around Extra, and
Miss Essie Winberg, 1451 Walker
ST., Des Moines, very much sur
! prised their numerous friends here
and elsewhere by revealing. informa-
ton concerning their recent mar
riage
| Mr.. Dawson, who is home on q
thirty day furlough for recovery
from very severe attack of the
most dreaded disease, spinal menin-
gifts was student of the Iowa Uni
versity before he became the first
volunteer from Audubon County.
He enlisted on April 26, 1918.
While he was waiting to be called
into active service he was appoint-
ed by Adjutant General Logan to
recruit for the Third Iowa Infantry.
Many Of his recruits are now fight
ing with the Rainbow Division in
France.
1t is we'll known in this County
that George once established an un-
beatable record for corn husking.
He husked and cribbed thirty BUSH
els per day for thirty days. Accord
ing to the Register and Leader and
the Des Moines Capital this record
has not been beaten nor even
equalled. Dawson is considered the
best mat artist of Camp Cody and
was the best lineman in one of the
most powerful and. successful foot
ball teams in Camp Cody, where
every team plays a fast and vicious
game. George played always with
out head gear and whenever he
became angry, which was frequent
ly his opponents suffered and
grew to be vigilant of his actions.
We have seen him throw in Oska-
loosa clever professionals, who were
shocked by his speed and wonder
full strength. At Iowa City he was
. member Of Iowa University s
great wrestling team. If he would
train Systematically then follow the
game he would realize for his ability
in this line, fancy purses.
His bride is one Of the most
beautiful, popular andaccomplishec
girls in Des Moines. As a steno.
grapher she is so rapid and accurate
that her services areyalways in great
/ demand.
He and his wife while not travel
ing now live in East Des Moines
where she will reside after George
returns to his Battery to report fol
duty, with expectations of starting
soon towards France Contributed

BEANS SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT
Food Administration Urges People to
Eat All Kinds Of This
Staple Food.

Now that 1t promises to become nee
essary to watch our meat supply with
increasing care, the possibilities Of
beans in the diet are brought again TO
the front.
The farmers Of the country did their
duty last year and brought out larger
crop Of beans than ever before A.
cording to the figures Of he-uepart-
ment of agriculture, the last crop of
beans was about 100000 bushels,
an increase Of 100000 bushels over
the normal crop. Considering the ex-
traordinary demand for beans by the
army and navy, this crop was not too
large! and only unusual circumstances
explain the fact that any beans are
left over.
Last year there was substantial in
crease In the cOlored bean crop-pinto
beans, California plnks and soy beans
iii the South and Southwest. This ac-
cession Of new beans from unaccus-
toned quarters not only provided new
stocks but required partial re-
arrangement of the market.
Beans have long been staple food
for the army and navy. On account of
their high nutritive value they enter
largely into the diet of men in the field.
Knowing this, Americans have for
some time felt that 1t was the part of
patriotism to leave their white beans
Tor the soldiers. But the food admin.
lstration now urges the use Of all
beans.
Beans are to be counted as a sub
stitute for meat rather than for the
cereals. They can well take the place
of meat dish on many occasions. Ger.
tainly with them In the diet there IL
less need for meat.

HOW TO USE BARLEY FLOUR
Home Economics Experts Tell How to
Get Good Results With Il.

Barley flour is the best cheapest and
most accessible substitute -four ON the
market. 1t Is light colored and con.
tains enough gluten to be used for
wheat flour in any kind of recipe OK.
cept. perhaps, yeast bread. The fol.
lowing precautions should, however, be
observed in its use:
l. Barley flours are not uniform in
quality aid lie amount OF LIQUID to be
added varies little.
z. Barley flour absorbs more water
than wheat flour, therefore the barley
muffin or cake batter will seem little
stlffer than If made with nm eoual
amount of wheat flour
.. Since one -cupful of barley flour
weighs but three ounces, while one
cupful of wheat -four weighs four, the
flour should be sifted once and about
two tablespoonfuls more added to each
cupful Of flour called for.
4. The addition of egg is almost nee.
essary to secure u good muffin or bis.
cult mixture made>with barley.
o. The flavor of barley mixtures Is
Objectionable to some persons when
used alone. This may be overcome !f
n small amount Of cornstarch, potato
Hour, corn flour, cornmeal/ or mashed
potatoes is substituted for part of the
barley Hour. A dash Of mace or nut.
meg improves shortcake doughs.
9. The better texture and more mois.
ture are obtained In barley mixtures
II one-fourth cupful Of cold mashed no.
,tatoes are added with every cupful of
barley -four.
Z. Mullins, breads and cakes made
with barley and other substitute flours
should bake longer and Mt a lower tenn.
perature than those made with wbeat
flour.
