CORN WILL WIN
nEM0npAnVe Wsp
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Seen Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,000,o00,000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieye.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
Keep the body 10 a state Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity in greater by five bush"
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American eolonists from famine on
many occasions just as II served as a
staple food during the Var of the Rev
olutl0n and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come TO the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal Is finding greatly lncreas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent, corn meal with wheat
flour to. make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread--using corn meal entire
ly--is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved In America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America ls associ-
ated In the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans Corn syrup for sweet
enlng corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead OF
granulated sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
| is appearing on the market In large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ Of
the corn.

armies are rapidly going to the fight

men everywhere. Without that new
order the world Will be without
peace and human life will lack toll

development Having set our hand to
the task of achieving it We shall not

me to add that no word OF what |

That is not the temper of our peo-
pie. have spoken them onl. that
the whole world may know the true
spirit of America that men every
where may know that our passion for
justice and government is no
mere passion of words but passion
which, once set in action must be
satisfied. The power of the United
States is menace TO no nation or
people. 1t will never be used in ag-
