Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Bo-

Senator Pittman.
Pittman said opponents of the meas

er the same thing the Standard is-a
monopoly in oil lands.
THE business opponents" said Pitt

independents getting enough land to

VICTORY BREAD
NOW COMPULSORY
Every Baker in California Is Now
Making the Staff of Life With
Grains Other Than Wheat-People
Generally Prefer the New Bread to
Loaf Formerly Baked.
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, Feb. Victory"
bread, the new conservation product,
containing not les Sthan 20 per cent
wheat substitutes, made its official
and universal appearance in Califor-
mia and throughout the nation yester-
day. All licensed bakers (Which
means those using three barrels of
flour or more per nonth) must pro-
duce nothing but "Victory" bread and
rolls henceforth under the laws of
the United States Food Administra-
tion. The licenses of those who fail
to comply with the regulation may be
rescinded by the Food Administra-
ton, it was announced.
Beginning February 3, all baking
licenses were instructed tc make breaC
containing at least 5 per cent whea
substitute flour, gradually increasin.
that percentage to February "a, whe
all bread and rolls must contain a
least 20 per cent wheat substitute
Imperial Valley press., 1918-02-28

flours. Pastries must contain not less
than one-third wheat flour substitutes.
This includes doughnuts, cookies, va
rlous cakes and all sweet doughs.
There is nothing in the regulations
to prohibit baker from putting more
than 20 per cent wheat substitutes in
his bread and rolls. 1t is expected
that many will develop a bread con-
tanning between 20 and 30 per cent
substitute fiours, or more, and issue
it under patented trade names. The
name "Victory' may be officially
adopted for the new conservation
bread by the Food Administration.
/ 1t was announced that former regu-
latioTs providing for ingredients and
size of loaves made by commercial
bakers will remain effective indefi-
nitely. The new "Victory" loaf must
conform with both past and present
rules of baking.
! The "Victory" products may be put
on the market on "wheatless" days
but the Food Administration urges
bakers and restaurants as far as pos
Isible to turn out break and pastries
for general consumption on the
''wheatless" days which contain the
largest possible percentage of sub
stitute flours.

How to Grow Spinch.

Spinach thrives best in rather
cool climate, but summer variety
is on the market and it would be
advisable to plant that at this sea-
son. Sow either in rows or broadcast.
Few people realize the Importance at
tached to spinach as health preserv-
ing food. 1t is rich in iron and should
occupy a place in every home gar
den.

How to Grow Tomatoes.

The tomato is one of the most satis-
factory of all the garden crops, but
they have not been generally grown
here in home gardens. No matter
how small the space, it is always ad
visable to have a few tomato vines.
For quicker results get plants from
seed dealers and plant three to six
feet apart on ridges, allowing plenty
of room for plant to spread and grow.
Have the soil pulverized to a depth
or ten or twelve inches-the deeper
the better-in order that the roots
may keep in the cool earth, for as
soon as the roots are overheated by
the hot, dry soil near the surface the
plant quickly sickens and dies, and
the grower sees on cause for it. The
roots spread more rapidly and fur
ther than the vines. Therefore give
shallow but frequent cultivation. If
to be used for table use, 25 plants
under good conditions will supply the
average family, leaving some to can.
How to Grow String and Snap Beans.
Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops
of the gorden. "When in doubt as to
what to plant, plant beans" Plant in
ridges one or two seeds every four
inches and one-half inch is deep
enough. 1t requires from 40 to 60
days for snap beans to be ready for
use. Successive paintings of string
beans should be made at intervals of
ten days two two weeks. BY follow
ing this scheme constant supply of
tender beans will be assured. Some
people hesitate to plant pole beans
such as Kentucky Wonder or Lazy
Wife because of the scarcity of poles
This objection is easily overcome

How to Grow Lima Beans.
The bush lima beans are very sat
isfactory and require no poles. Plan
in ridges 2 or 3 feet apart, dropping
| beans or inches apart and cover

any surplus not used green may b
