Should Plant Rye
As Wheat Substitutes
An Patriotic Farmers In South Caro-
lima Expected by Food Administra-
tion to Grow Bread crops-Rye
Suited to South Carolina Soil.

Columbia:-With the present ur-
gent demand for bread crops, it be-
comes the duty of all patriotic farm
ers of South Carolina to produce dur
ing the coming year all the bread
crops possible, says the Food Admin
istration. Not only is the Food Ad-
ministration urging larger acreage
in wheat, but it is pointed out that
rye should likewise be planted on
larger scale than ever before. 1t is
taken for granted that South Caro-
lima farmers have realized, generally
speaking the necessity of making their
lands produce food crops, and that,
therefore, they will plant at least
enough wheat 70 provide fer them
selves, and wherever possible, to help
fill up the nations wheat bin.
In planting rye also, the farmer has
an opportunity to help his country and
himself. Rye is an excellent substi-
tute for wheat, in fact has almost
equal value as a bread crop. Rye
grows we'll on nearly all types OF soil
in South Carolina, and requires COM
paratively little labor to produce it.
It offers financial returns to the farm
er. It serves as cover crop during
the winter, and it may be harvested in
time to plant a crop in the spring.
Clemson College experts say that
the Abruzzi is the variety to grow in
South Carolina, and that it will do
better if planted on land that has been
well plowed and narrowed early in the
fall. It will do well, however, il
planted on corn land if plowed into
cultivation, or better still if planted
with a one-horse drill. Rye does not
REQUIRE heavy fertilization, but it will
do well to apply from 100 to 200
pounds of acid phosphate and about an
equal amount Of cotton seed meal at
the time of planting. It should be
seeded at the rate Of to 6 pecks per
acre. The time for planting is not az
important as for other small grains.
It will probably do best II planted in
October or early November, but it
may be planted as late as December
first.

RETREAT or GERMANS
INCREASES RESPONSIBILITY

Columbia.-Although the allies are
pushing back the Germans toward the
Rhine and have the Hun on the run
there will be no let up in food con-
servation, says the Food Administra-
ton. Relaxation OF conservation ef-
fort now would be dangerous. AS a
mater of fact, it is pointed out by
Herbert Hoover, in telegram to Will
liam Elliott, federal food administra-
tor for South Carolina, that the re-
treat of the Germans creates bigger
work for the Food Administration,
since t..e civilian population in the
territory which Is evacuated by the
rstreating enemy must be fed.

man of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has just
returned from an extended trip over
seas, during which he conducted
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
"I found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts OF
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
.sI have found them in hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered villages
in the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work. Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America

BOTTLERS LEARN
THEY MUST SAVE
ON USE OF SUGAR

| Rock Island bottlers OF soft
| drinks have learned that they. with
others in the nation, may save ap-
proximately $4,000 tons Of sugar
annually by using other sweetening
materials. according TO investiga-
tions by specialists of the bureau
of chemistry OF the United States
department OF agriculture. The bu-
reau of chemistry is preparing 10
furnish bottlers with sweetening
formulas that will allow the actual
sugar content in soft drinks TO be
cut TO so per cent or less and at
the same time will preserve the
customary taste and quality OF the
beverages Starch sugar, starch
syrup, maltese syrup and honey
are the substitutes used.
The bureau of chemistry special
lists have cooperated with bottlers
in using these to sweeten and give
body" to soft drinks. Their ia
vorable opinions of the results have
been sustained by four tasting
jurfes," made up of representatives
of the bottling industry, bureau ex-
perts, representatives of flavoring
extract manufacturers and women
and children representing the con-
Stunning public.
The sweetening formulas that
have been tested in the bureau eX-
periments will be furnished to bot
tiers and the results of the expert
ments will be described in detail
in bottling trade publications Re-
strictions on the use of sugar in
soft drinks have been placed by
the United States food administra-
ton, but it is believed that the bu
reau of chemistry experiments will
allow the usual amount of these
products to be manufactured with
out marked change in palatability
or quality.
