To eat more corn. or maize, as the
Indians called it. should be patrio-
tic duty and a pleasure to American
home defense force.
First of all, the corn acreage of
the United States is nearly double that
CT the rest OF the world. The corn
acreage Of all European countries is
about equal to that of Illinoise, Iowa,
and Missouri.
! Therefore, possessing so great a
| wealth Of this cereal-a typical true
/ blue American crop-its wider use
is our national duty. Moreover, it
| should be an easy matter to educate
our tastes when so much of importan-
ce to our lives, and those "over yon-
der" is at stake.
| We cannot ask our Allies to share
corn with us, for the European house
wife is not equipped with ovens
| which bake hot breads satisfactorily
al bread in Europe is baked in cen
! trail Kitchens and distributed to the
various households each morning.
Corn bread does not make a palata-
BILE cold bread We must eat the corn
in order that there may be more
wheat to send to those fighting in the
cause Of freedom our Allies and our
own army. There is neither time
nor equipment for making corn dish
es in the trenches.
BY substituting corn for wheat we
are losing nothing, for although corn
supplies little less of the tissue
building material (protein) wheat
it furnishes wore energy.
In the following recipes, either
white or yellow corn meal may be
used These have equal nutritive val
he. The flavor Of the white is less
characteristic and therefore is pre-
Ierred by many.
CORN BREAD cup sour milk, IL
teaspoon soda dissolved in teaspoon
water, 2 tablespoons sugar team omit
| tablespoon shortening, | egg yolk,
