EATING CANDY MODERATELY
is NOT UNPATRIOTIC

In the interests Of a large home
industry, which has been adversely
affected by the war, the candy manu-
facturers Of Utah and Idaho have is
sued the following informatory state
ment for the benefit of the inter
mountain states:
The candy manufacturers Of the
United States, in pre-war times, u.s.
only about 8 per cent of the sugar
produced; at present this has be,n
cut to about per cent. The industry
stands among manufacturers as one
of the 'argest and most important in
this country The factories in Utah
and Idaho have $4,000, 900 inves ed l..
the industry, and employ several thou
sands Of people The work is FER
formed mostly by women and fur
nishes a source Of income to those
who would otherwise be dependents.
Fhe government does not seek TO
put the candy industry out Of bust
ness. In fact, 1T cesires that 1t re-
main prosperous, that ii may con-
tmue to furnish teh United States
with some of the sinews of war. The
average amount CT sugar per capita
In the United States, during normal
times. was 81 pounds; and of that
amount, 75tper cent was used for ta
BILE purposes.
Since the country entered the war
the candy makers sugar supply has
been reduced to one-helf, necessitat-
ing the operating Of factories at half
capacity. This condition was readily
acceded to, because every candy
manufacturer holds the welfare Of
the country as paramount.
y Nor IL people discontinue the use
or candy. and deny manufacturers the
opportunity OF running even at one
half normal capacity, it vii SON put
out Of business one Of our largest
1nduststea
III No tbonshtful person will admit
that suck Needless sacrifices ought
10 overtake a great enterprise, be-

lcause public interests demand the
continuance Of all business which
does not interfere with war work.
If every Individual in these noun
tain states would use just one tea
spoonful less Of sugar per day i'm
their homes, the total saved would
enable the candy industry here to
live through these trying times.
There is NJ wisdom in destroying
a business that furnishes working
privileges to so many people, and
which at the same time presents no
conflict with the war program.
In candy making, sugar is only
small part OF he bulk of ingredients,
There are the fruits, nuts, chocolate
and corn syrup, milk. cream. etc. All
these items are rich in food value;
they contain the carbohydrates which
the human system must have to be
healthful and vigorous.
When we consider the matter cam
didly it does not seem right, nor is it
proper that amy one industry should
make the entire sacrifice in conserv-
ing sugar.
1t is right and proper to conserve
on candy just as on anything else,
but do not make the mistake Of cut
ting out candy entire1y-thus des-
troying an important industry and
denying hundreds of women and girls
their chance for livelihood. Eat
ing candy in moderation should new
er be considered unpatriotic.

FARM BUREAU
NOTES
Deferred Classification:

Deferred classification:
ReeIs; rants producing large crops
of grain or much livestock should
confer with the County Agent,
phone 80, before filling out their
questionnatres. For agricultural de-
feIred classification they may be
Glass A, division G; Glass 3, diyi-
sion j, or Class division c. Don't
wait until the last day if you de-
sire the County Agents o. K. as 1t
requires time to arrange the papers.
Farm Sheep:
We believe that this county has
at least 100 farms that should each
soon acquire small flock of good
sheep. Secure only a few between
two and three dozen. A flock OF 20
grade ewes costing about SIG per
head will yield from so to rs per
cent on the investment in one short
year. To average one lamb per eve
yields IS to $40 more. Your weeds
will be kept moved, your ditchfs
still have nearly enough cash to- pay
off the loan you assumed to buy
them. Buy either fine, Hampshire,
or coarse wool, Lincoln, if you rais9
grades. If you raise pure breds buy
Ramps, for well grown bucks com
mand a premium among the range
sheepmen. Buy now. You can winter
them cheaper than can the big sheep
men. Keep your flock small. Next
year we will arrange a cooperative
shipping association. The County
Agent can help you get started. Bor-
row enough to buy 25 young bred
ewes. Buy now.
w. S. S.
Lend all you can. Your Losn re-
ceipt is a small Government bond
paying you interest. Never before
have such small bends been pur-
chasable. Each small bond during
this month of November costs only
$4.22. Help your children to invest
their Savings and aid Uncle Sam
to RUN the hun. Buy War Saw
ing Stamp today.
DRIED PUMPKIN
Plan to dry lots Of pumpkin for
winter use. Dried pumpkin viii
make a fine Christmas gift for
your bboy Over There And then the
home folks can have pumpkin pie
thruout the winter, spring and next
summers haying seasons. Simply
slice off rings then pare them and
remove the seeds clinging to the
inner portion. Put a. pole thru these
rings and hang near the kitchen
range to dry slowly. When well cur
ed they may be packed away for snip
ment or for use next Spring. Buy
