Farm Bureau Notes

/
London, Ontario, from man
having read something about
soybeans in Charlton County.

has asked me, even at this late
date, to send him one peck of
inoculated seed. have advis-
ed him that they will not do him
much good from this time on.
but to get in touch with US next
year, and will try to start him
out with some of our varieties,
as he wants them entirely for
balancing up his silage. Where
corn and soybeans are put into
the silo it has been found to
make an excellent feed.
The Wheat Smut Situation
Investigations in the county
have shown several fields in
which smut has been found to a
greater or less extent. One
man threshed 800 bushels of
wheat, getting $l.75 per bushel.
His wheat otherwise should have
graded No. |, which on the mar
ket at this time at the least cal
culation would have brot him
not less than $2.05. A thirty
cent loss per bushel means a loss
of $240. This man had the for
maldehyde already bought, but
so long as it stays corked up in
the bottle it will do the wheat
no good. | asked him why he
didn't use it and he rather indi-
Gated that possible his neighbor
might have been to blame, who
said he had no faith in such nom
sense. | suggested that he tell
his neighbor the story / was
telling him. On one occasion in
my institute work l got a good
opportunity to spring a good
yarn on him and he was one OF
those good sports that always
for an opportunity to
play even. He spoke first at
the next meeting and introduc-
ing me said: Now this man,
Jordan, is gong to make a corn
talk and he will make you a
good one. He knows a lot about
corn. in fact he is wise on corn,
but a sort of a blamed fool about
4 lot of other things. | plead
guilty to the charge and told
him l felt comfortable, since I
vas not lonesome at all. l told |
his man to say to his neighbor
hat perhaps he might know a
OF about corn and oats and cat
lie and pigs and other stuff, but
lie was a blamed fool about treat
ng wheat for smut.

prevent this trouble and it is so
cheap and easy that it would
seem that no one would take a
chance on such a loss, when it is
so readily prevented. From
the best information that can
secure, very little of this kind of
smut is carried over in the soil,
so that we can be so readily as
sured that if we sow clean seed,
even in ground where smutty
wheat had grown the season
before, that we need have little
fears of trouble. However.
where it can be done, it is per-
haps at least as safe and a splen-
did farm practice to follow the
corn with wheat rather than
follow wheat with wheat.
Look out for the dates for our
Smut Treating Campaign in the
county as this Bureau is going
to do its part to make every man
in the county familiar with just
how to treat his wheat. If a.
farmer does not avail himself of
this opportunity, then we will
feel at least that we have done
our share, and if he should sus-
tain a loss, nothing but perhaps
his own negligence will be the
cause. We have had a vast
number of cases lately where
men have lost time enormously, |
by endeavoring to save it.
One man who sustained a loss of |
about $50 on his wheat crop
didn't have time to attend a
treating demonstration. Would
not take time even to ask a ques-
tion which the Bureau would
have gone across the county, if
need be, to assist him.
So lets be honest with our
selves as we certainly should not
be afraid to let it be known
there is something we don't
know. While / may know a

make you a set of false
teeth and guarantee them to

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
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 this 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 a 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.
"It 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"

Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Throat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
Ing 5000, 1000, 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials OF the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
It 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 q
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by 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 30
bushels of corn for every American.
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
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed 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 mixture is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means pound
OF wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ-
ated 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.
