REMOVE SMALL CANS
FROM SYRUP MARKET
and transportation
Facilities.

Small cans Of syrup and molasses
can no longer be bought. After their
present stock Of them is exhausted,
the manufacturers VIII adopt the new
schedule for the conservation Of tin
planned at a meeting with the j.
Food Administration at Washington.
Three standard sized cans contain
ing 212, 5 and 10 pounds will be used
for syrup and mo}asses. All small
and odd sizes will be discontinued.
Packing in small cans calls Tor need
less consumption Of steel, tin plate,
labor and transportation facilities. 4
one-pound can, for instance, repre-
sents saving in tin of about 20 per
cent over 4 ounce cans. In addition,
the expense of filling and handling
the smaller container is practically
equal to that of the larger one which
also has the advantage of requiring
less shipping space for equal bulk Of
contents.

Surplus Of Dairy Products IN q
5. Should Be Substituted
for Meat and Wheat.

Milk is one Of the most importan,
food sources the human race possesses
For the proper n0urishment CT tbs
child it is absolutely Indispensable II
contains all the essential food elements
in the most available form for ready
digestion. and recent scientific disc0y
cries show it to be especially rich i'll
certain peculiar properties that alone
render growth possible For the pur
pose CT stimulating growth, butter fat
and other constituents OF milk have
no substitutes.
Due to the shortage OF shipping ami
the priority of wheat, the usual export
of butter. cheese, and condensed milk
is cut off If these products are not
consumed, the prices for them will fall
so low that the dairymen will not pro
duce them.
This must not happen. We must
maintain cur present rate OF supply
and prepare to increase it so we can
ship dairy products to the Allies when
the shipping situation improves.
France and Great Britain face a seri-
Gus shortage Of milk. French food reg
ulations forbid public eating houses to
serve or consume butter except in the
preparation Of certain food, and in Lon
don, an adult cannot buy a glass Of
milk even if he is willing to pay $50
for it. 1t is certain that these countries
will make a heavy demand on US for
dairy products, and even for herds,
when the shipping conditions permit
of their transportation.
Milk, butter and cheese furnish the
vital elements OF nutrition. Pound for
pound cottage cheese equals lean meat
in food value, il is just as efficient 4
muscle builder as meat or eggs, and
more efficient than cereals. Butter and
milk are requisite to the healt- and
growth of children, and, considere,>
with respect to their relative fO0G
value are cheap at an apparently higL
price.
A greater use Of the dairy produc+s
results in q necessary increase in the
dairy business, conservation OF grains
and better nutrition for the public.

CORN VERSUS
KAISER

Wood County has been spoken of
often as the land of corn, cows, and
clover. Without good seed corn the
important part Of this triumvirate
will be broken. Corn and Kaiser are
two words that go together, but a
lot of good seed corn safely saved and
cured will be one more slap at VIII
liam. This year the First National
Blk &C Grand Rapids is again put
ting on a corn show. Ten ear samples
are wanted. Blue ribbons and prizes
are offered. The Bank has also pre-
pared some neat cards on which ap-
pear the name Of the grower, the var
iety Of corn, and the amount of seed,
if any, that the grower has for sale.
After the exhibit complete pictures
will be taken which, together with a
Write-up, will be sent to the farm pa
pers. Here is a good chance of adver-
Using and selling your seed corn, help
ing a fellow who has no good seed
corn, and at the same time increasing
the chances Of a good corn crop for
next year.
