 LOYALTY OF MARiCOPA WOMEN
 By Imogene Nicely,
 Home Demonstration Work, Exten-
 sion Service, University of Arizo-
 na and U. s. Government
 Two hundred and seventy three women in seven communities in Mari copa county have attended demon strations which 1 have given in the last two weeks on saving wheat flour. using local grains, saving fats and sugar. These women are eager and willing to do their share in saving food for their country. Not only are they willing to economize and use these recipes, but each woman seems to delight in taking the benefit which she has derived from these demon- strations to her neighbor who has failed to attend. By such splendid cooperation We are able to reach hundreds of women that we could not otherwise. The women of Mari copa county are alert to the food sit nation and are certainly doing their bit to win the war
 Dozens of women in the City of Phoenix have requested that the war bread recipes be printed again.

SIO-ALFALFA
CAMPAIGN
To Open in New Castle Coun-
ty Iulv Eighth

The Executive Committee of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau
has set aside the week of July 8
to IL, inclusive, for the New Cas-
tie County Silo and Alfalfa Cam
paign. The slogan during this
campaign will be 100 more silos
for New Castle County. Due to the
increasing cost of producing milk,
the Executive Committee has de-
vised this campaign with the in
tention of inducing the farmers of
the county to produce more dairy
feed on the farm and thus cut in
half the feed bill at the mill. When
commercial feeds are costing from
$55 to $40 per ton and steadily in
creasing in cost, it would seem
highly practical to substitute these
so far as possible with home grown
feeds.
Scientists and practical farmers
tell us that one-third of the feed
ing value of the corn crop is in the
stock. AS the fodder is generally
handled in the pound, only small
portion Of the stock is consumed.
Furthermore, one of the great ad-
vantages of silage is as succulence
and a conditioner. When fed as
dry fodder this value is lost en-
: tirely.
The growing of alfalfa is nc
longer an experiment. When given
