Food Shortage.

The present food shortage, which
threatens to become much more seri-

tunity as well as the call to the pa
triOtic duty.
In view of the grave situation, the
division of animal forestry, University
Farm, ST. Paul, offers the following
suggestions to the live stock farmers !:
Keep all live stock off pastures till
the grass has a good start, and the sod
will withstand tramping and retain the
moisture in the soil. Much more feed
will be yielded and hay saved in the
long run by this method. "A week too
early to grass in the spring means
three weeks less pasture in the fall"
Do not turn out steers about ready

Oats, barley and rape can be sOwn

feed till the hogs can be turned into
the corn. If no alfalfa is available
on the farm for pig pasture, this
spring will be the time to SOW 1t.
When the pigs are on pasture they
should be fed some grain, and the
pigs will get along with less grain
when on alfalfa than on most any 9TH

Free Run Of Horse and Cattle
lots-Permit Exercise.

1t is altogether too common to al
low pregnant sows a free run Of the
horse and cattle lots, and to force
them to occupy crowded quarters with
a large number of hogs. Occasionally
heavy losses result from such a prac-
tice and must be avoided If best re-
suits are to be expected.
Brood sows should be allowed the
run of a well-drained lot by themselves
where they have ample room for the
requisite amount Of exercise.

Pasture should by all means be pro-
vided for the pigs. This is the cheap
est food that can be provided, and
good development in the pigs re-
quires green food. Alfalfa is one Of
the best pastures. 1t is relished by
the pigs, is nutritious and provides
feed during the whole pasture season.
Many report splendid success with
sweet clover where neither bronze
grass nor winter rye Is available.

CORN Will WIN
DEEiOCRACY'SW war
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINsTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS
Surplus Wheat Of the United States,
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
MAINsTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,0OO,OO0,O00 bushels. will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in 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 Dy.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 80
IL
This quantity is 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 colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as
staple food during the War Of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
T Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-,
cd 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 a pound
OF wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
a;ed in the war.
There are score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening 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.

MADE-IN-G ERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-n-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cOrding to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
OF the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in Sthis coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even vestige OF
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
'"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
ut lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even /
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-I
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to-
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH.
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory = approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn,
ed into grain ields-the cattle herds,
are decreasing rapidly. One of the.
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $16OS; Jan
larry, 44O. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket us soon as possible.
In FRANCE the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,SO7,OOO head of
cattle In 1913, she now has only 12,-
341,900. d decrease Of 1866 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
ductiOn of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys q loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread. and the British government is
paying $2OO.OOO.OOO year toward the.
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at.
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over 10 the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 81
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.
