Asks Public Not To
Buy Victory Bread

Forget there is any such thing a:
Victory bread. Order only wal
bread, and eat no other kind of bak
ers bread"
Such is the latest message of the
Food administration to Oregon
housewives who depend upon baker
products for their bread supply.
Reports from the grocery stores
and bakers show an altogether too
heavy demand for Victory bread, and
too light a demand for War bread
said Assistant Federal Food Admins
traitor w. X. NEWELL. This report
should be just reversed Victory
bread contains only 25 per cent of
substitutes, while War bread contains
40 per cent or more of substitutes,
mixed with wheat flour. Therefore
those who eat War bread save ] 5 per
cent more wheat than those who eat
Victory bread. The War breads now
being produced by the bakers are Of
excellent quality, palatable and at
tractive, and there is no excuse for
longer continuing the use of Victory
bread. All patriotic families should
keep in mind, at all times, that saw
ing wheat is vital necessity essen
tial to the winning of the war, and
should be glad of the opportunity to
cut their consumption of wheat the
additional Is per cent. Nothing but
War bread should be used in any
Oregon home. This means that no
bread containing less than 40 per
cent of substitutes should be eaten =
For housewives who do their own
baking, instead of depending upon
the baker, Mr.. Newell also has a
Bake no breads, cake or
pastry that is below the War bread
standard of 40 per cent of substi-
tutes," says Mr.. Newell, "and do as
much better as possible. Splendid
formulas for raised and quick breads
and for cakes and pastry that are al
most or entirely wheatless, are now
being published in the magazines
and newspapers Make it a point to
use as little wheat flour as possible |
and in this you will be doing a real |
war service, for the saving of wheat |
'or shipment overseas is now one of
our most important national duties"

Clip Your Coupons
For Red Cross Fund

Portland, May 20.-"Clip your
Liberty coupons for the Red Cross"
This was the message that went re-
sounding over the country today. In
terest coupons for the Second Liberty
Loan became due this week.
AS by far the great majority Of
these coupons are in the 81 and So
value, 1t is believed that many Of
those having Liberty Bond coupons
due will feel 1t a privilege to be able
to donate them to the Red Cross.
Coupons should simply be clipped
from bonds, handed to any war fund
solicitor, or mailed to the nearest
Red Cross chapter.

little danger Of getting the ground
too rich. Elephants may be used as

EARLY CABBAGE.

When set in spring, the cabbage
plants should be started In the window
box or in hotbeds some six weeks be-
fore the average date of the last kill

They may be set In the gardens as
soon as the ground is In condition. For
horse cultivation the rows should be

SQUASH.

There are two types OF squash--the
bush varieties, which may be planted
and 6 seeds to the hill In hills
or s feet apart each WY, and
the running varieties which require
considerable more room for their de-
velopment. Squash may properly be
grown in the garden, as three or four
hills will produce all that Is required
for the average family. They require
rather rich soil, preferably one that
Is well mixed with rotted manure.
Squash for summer uSa fhoud be
planted as soon as the ground Is thor
oughly warmed up, which VIII be about
one month after the last killing frost
Such varieties as the Hubbard for fall
and winter use may be planted at any
time during the spring after the
ground Is thoroughly warmed up, and
will grow the entire season. They
should be gathered in fall, as soon as
hard frosts occur. They may be kept
in storage room In the basement, or
In any cool. dry place. 1t Is neces-
sary to handle them carefully to avoid
bruislng, or rot Is liable to occur

WYNN IRISH POTATOES. Ww

The culture Of the Irish potato Is
familiar to almost everyone who has
ever had a garden. In brief, the po-
tntoes should BE planted as soon as
the ground can be worked in spring,
two weeks before the average date OF
the last killing frost being none too
early. The tubers should be cut so
mat each piece contains from one to
two eyes, and the pieces planted In
rows from "a to 30 inches apart. and
from TO to 10 inches apart in the rows.
depending on the variety. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough. It
Is an excellent idea to work soil up
to the plants as they develop, so that
there Will be plenty of soil to cover
the potatoes as they form.
Early potatoes in the central and
southern sections of the country will
mature III sufficient time for the gnr-
dener to grow crop of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
ground. 1t is often possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug.

large enough, an old rule being to be-
gin using them when they are as large
as hens egg. The usual method Is
to dig them as needed, leaving the
main part of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion of the United
States the late crop may be planted
from June IS to July 1, but In the
northern sections the main crop Is
planted earlier than this, no attempt
being made to produce early and late
potatoes, as in many sections the
growing season is too short for the
production of but one crop. Late
potatoes are allowed to grow until they
mature or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the late crop
Is similar to that employed In the case
of the early crop.

ALL WILLING To- PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens OF Lima, Peru,
Do Not Seek to Evade Their
Street Car Obligations.

If fare registers were to be placed
In the street cars Of Lima. Peru, there
would be a loud protest. This Is not
because 1t Is easier to dodge the con-
ductor under the prevailing system
On the contrary, the travellers of Lima
are willing, even anxious, to pay their
fares. Perhaps that doesn't seem hui
man, but the explanation Is that upon
receipt Of the fare a numbered ticket
is presented to the passenger, and II
is valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are divided into four
sections for the monthly and semi
monthly drawings conducted by tho
railway company. In the three impor-
tant sections cash prize of $3.50 Is
offered. The fourth section offers q

SNAP BEANS.

Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops Of
the garden. when in doubt what to

Beans thrive best In rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
IN uitrogenous matter, or the plants
will fun to foliage and stems at the
expense of the crop. Beans will not
withstand frost, and the first paintings
In the spring should not be made until
about two weeks after the average
date of the last killing frost. The soil
should be In good condition and the
rows should be laid out perfectly
straight so as to make cultivation easy.
One pint OF the seed of most varieties
of snap beans is sufficient for 100
foot row. When the cultivation is to
be done by horse, the rows should be
from so to SO inches apart When
hand cultivation is to be employed, the
rows should be from IS TO "a inches
apart. 1t requires from 40 to 60 days
for snap beans to be ready for use
II the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings of string beans
should he made at intervals Of ten
days 70 two weeks throughout the
growing season. BY following this
scheme a constant supply of tender
beans will be assured.

OkRA.

Okra is delicious vegetable that

the home garden than 1t now possesses.

to the initiated; that is all the argu-
ment needed in favor Of growing this
crop.
1t thrlves on any good soil, and the
seeds should be sown In rows to 5
feet apart after all danger of frost Is
past, or about the same time as tomato
plants are set in the open. The plants
should be thinned until they stand
about 2 feet apart in the rows. The
edible portion of the okra Is the pods,
which must be gathered while young.
They are used In soups or as a stewed
vegetable.

TURNiPs.

The turnip requires rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or
late crop. For an early crop, sow the
seeds in drills IL to IS inches apart
as early in the spring as the condition
of the soil will permit. A half-ounce
of seed is sufficient for 1OO-foot row.
After the plants appear thin to about
3 inches apart. The roots will be
ready for use before hot weather.
For late turnips, the seeds are usu-
ally sown broadcast on land from
which some early crop has been re-
moved, and for this reason the turnip
is good crop to grow for storage
for winter. They are quite hardy
and the roots need not be gathered
until after the first frosts. They may
be stored in banks or pits or in the
outdoor cave or cellar. and keep best
when kept rather cool.
The turnlp is a good crop for inter-
planting between rows Of late corn or
late beans.
