Why Use CornmeaI2

4 35-bushel yield of corn, which
crop produces more human food than
any other commonly grown on Ameri-
can farms, will supply nearly 80
pounds of protein needed for flesh
building and more than 100000 units
(calories) of energy. Wherever condi-
tons are favorable for extending corn
acreage it is evident that considerable
addition can be made to the supply OF
human food.
Let it be urged once again, use more
cornmeal. Millers should give special
attention to the preparation of corn
meal of good quality and housewives
should use increased quantities of this
nutritious and palatable product as a
substitute for wheat for bread making
and other purposes. 1t is more practic-
able to increase the use Of cornmeal in
this country than abroad, for our peo-
pie are familiar with corn as a food,
while most European peoples are not,
though now they try to do what they
can.

Camping in the Rockies.

The camp ground established at
Bartholf park, Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park last year, will be accessi-
BILE this season by the completion of
the automobile road, and a second
camping place located. The great
parklike valleys lying east Of the
Snowy range are well adapted for
accommodating multitudes of recrea-
ton seekers not only in the numerous
hotels and lodges but under their
own canvas.
In these days when motorists in
rapidly increasing numbers are carry
ing tents and camping outfits Of their
own into other national parks, a de-
mand has shown itself for similar
privileges here where nature has pro-
vided so excellent an opportunity.
With the accessibility of the Rocky
Mountain National park to Denver
and greater centers of population be-
yond, it is predicted that many be-
sides motorists will pitch tents in the
shadow of the Snowy range.
Bartholf park is well on tie way
to some of the grandest scenery In
the Rocky mountains.

"Newv Spinach Is Favorite.

This is just an item about spinach
and how you can help prevent rath-
er important loss in it. All that is
asked of you is that you do not dis
eliminate unfairly, when you go to
market, in the matter of two kinds of
spinach which are practically alike
except in looks. Prickly seeded spin
ach is an old type that is coming back
on the market this year because seed
Of the common spinach-sSavoy-leaf--
is scarce. It resembles the dandeliOn
somewhat in appearance. 1t has just
as much food value, and as good q
flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy
which you are more accustomed to
buying, and can be cooked in the same
way. Only a few years ago, before
the Savoy became almost the only
type grown commercially, the prickly
seeded spinach was the most popular
kind produced for winter use.
So don't snub this old favOrite.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture are eager to
have this explanation spread broad
cast because they fear loss may re-
suit from the belief of many cOnsum-
ers and dealers that the prickly-
seeded type is new one differing in
food value.

creasing beef production in the settled
farm areas of the North and especially
in the South, and on the ranges:
Beef production can be increased in
the settled farm areas of the nation
and especially in the South. 1t can be
increased everywhere by preventing
the loss of flesh by calves during their
first winter and keeping calves growing
during this period SO that beef animals
may be marketed at earlier ages, there
by requiring the maintenance Of larger
breeding herds; by using larger pro-
portion of bulls on the range to insure
larger calf crops; by using good bulls
only; by reducing the tick-infested
areas as rapidly as possible; by elm
mating as far as possible the losses
from disease and predatory animals !;
by transferring animals from regions
of scarcity of feed to those where
there is an abundance of feed by pro-
viding a more ample supply Of winter
feed and better shelter, and by utiliz-
ing all roughage produced, either as
fodder, hay, or silage, and supplement-
ing these feeds with more heterogeneous
concentrates and less grain.

AIDING THE SHEEP INDUSTRY
Numerous Calls Made Upon AgricuI-
turaI Extension Forces for Infor-
nation on Management.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In 1917 the increased interest OF
farmers in the raising of sheep result
ed in numerous calls upon the agricul-
tural extension forces and other edu-
cational agencies for information and
assistance in establishing and manag-
inc farm f1ocks. In u states, special
lists in sheep husbandry were engaged
to assist county agents along this line.
In other states other agencies assisted
in the work. There is still an urgent
need or direction in this industry from
which so much is needed and which
until recently has been largely over
looked by the farmers and by the pub
lie agricultural institutions of many
states.
Attention Of state agricultural Of
ficials, members of councils of defense,
and others interested in strengthening
the agricultural position of the United
States for>it part in the war and for
the period following, is directed to
the opportunities offered in the follow
ing lines of action for developing the
sheep industry:
/. Securing Improvement in state
laws to prevent the killing of sheep
by dogs.
2. Encouragement of the organiza-
ton and maintenance Of boys sheep
clubs.
8. Providing greater facilities for
education in relation to sheep raising,
in schools, colleges, and particularly
in extension work.
4. Utilizing idle lands in unused por-
lions of farms by grazing them with
sheep.
5. Showing the safety and need OF a
more liberal attitude on the part OF
country bankers in lending money to
prospective sheep raisers.

SavorX Meat Savers.

Beans, peas and other legumes are
especially important articles of food
at the time because of the large
amount of protein they contain, which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legumes protein, however, is not a
complete substitute for that supplied
by meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk,
cheese, etc. The legumes will not,
therefore, entirely take the place of
meat and similar sources of protein
in the diet. They should perhaps be
looked upon as meat savers rather
than meat substitutes. They will per-
form their function as food better if
used in connection with some of the
other sources Of protein named rather
than alone. For. this reason such
dishes as the following, for example,
are preferable to beans or other
legumes alone: Pork and beans, Hos-
ton roast (cold bakes beans and
cheese, bean soup win boiled e.gg,
stews of meat and leguEaea, bean gro
auettes with boiled egg, and bean
chowde.s and purees with milk.

is the principal objective for the thou
sands who travel this trail from Lake
McDermOtt. It commands gorgeous
view of the great central valley, Dor
dered with monster mountains, which
leads north into Canada. From the
chalet horse trail now building will
soon cross the divide back again
through Logan pass. A foot trail
leads from the chalet to the top of the
Garden Wall directly overlooking the
Swiftcurrent and Grinnell glaciers
Another foot trail, involving an hours
steady climb, leads to the summit Of
Swiftcurrent mountain, from which
one looks upon a complete circle Of SUI
preme view, including all of Glacier
National park and generous glimpses
of the Canadian mountains on the
north, the great plains on the east
and the Rocky mountains on the south
and west.
Brown Pass Will Be Popular.
Brown pass, the trail over which
has been little improved since the old
game days because so few persons use
it, is destined to become one of the
most celebrated passes in America.
From the east side the trail leads from
Waterton lake up Olson valley, amid
scenery as sensational as it is unusual,
skirting lakes Of individuality and I'M
usual beauty even for Glacier National
park, and enters, at the pass, the
amazingly wild and beautiful cirques
at the head of Bowman lake. Here
is disclosed some of the widest seen
cry in the world. From the top Of the
pass, one trail drops down to Bowman
lake, which it follows to its outlet and
thence to a junction with the Flathead
river road, over which the traveller
reaches Lake Mcdonald.
A second lake is planned to be built
this summer to connect Brown pass,
across sensational submits, with the
wonderful cirQues at the head Of Knit
La valley.
