economize labor 1t would be advisable
to plant tested seed at about the same
rate as the stand desired and do no
thinning.
A more general use Of efficient har-
vesting machinery would permit
more economical use Of labor. A corn
binder with an attachment for elevat-
Ing the bundles Of corn into a wagon
should be used much more extensively
than it Is for harvesting ensilage corn.
There Is also on the market machine
that converts the corn into ensilage
in the field, elevating 1t into wagon,
from which 1t Is sucked or lifted into
the silo. The use Of either Of these
machines, especially the latter. would
do away with the necessity Of much
laborious work.

level ground, double cribs with an ele-

high pitching are very satisfactory.

Make Sweet Potato Flour.

Sweet potatoes, dried and ground
into q -four In an ordinary kitchen
coffee grinder, can be used in variety
of ways In cooking. Specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe that In many localities
where sweet potatoes are abundant
the making of sweet potato -four In
the home may furnish practical way
to save the sweet potatoes from spoil
ing. The flour will keep well in dry
containers.
To make the -four the potatoes
should first be cut into small length
wise pieces and thoroughly dried. A
small drier thatOfits on top Of the
oven or warming closet of range or
gas stove can be used. If an electric
fan Is available 1T will serve admir-
ably. The nut knife of meat grinder
also can be used for this purpose
Flour made by such process can be
kept for some time If put into dry
container, or the flour may be made
from the dry potatoes as 1t Is needed.
A quart of the dry potatoes makes n
cup OF Hour.
The use of sweet potato -four l.;
cake or bread making will materially
reduce the amount Of other flour used.
The proportions may be half and half.
When used In cakes the sugar could
also be reduced little. Sweet potato
flour Is useful as thlckening agent,
having the same value in this respect
as cornstarch. Recipes for the use
of sweet potato -four have been tested
and found to be excellent by food spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.

The station agent at Highland wired
his division superintendent -four cars
strawberries to Chicago" The super
tntendent added these four cars to fig
ures received from other station
agents, and wired the total to the de-
partment Of agriculture at Washing
ton.
The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had "gone broke" raising
strawberries because he couldn't sell
:hem for enough to pay his expenses.
While he was wondering about this.
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points in producing sec
tons showing that total of 40 cars OF
strawberries were on the way to Chi
cago, and that comparatively few ship
ments were going to other important
markets.
Shipment Diverted.
"Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said strawberry
man. who received the wire from
Washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars Of strawberries instead OF the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service OF the
bureau of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received checks
that gave them a profit on their ship
ments.

order TO effect the further conserva-
ticn in foOdstuffs necessary TO sup
port the allies and our own armed

These rules are effective from the
morning of Monday. January 2Sth.
The effectiveness of these rules is
dependent solely upon the good will

the people. We are dependent upon
the cooperation of the trades. We

to organize in cooperation with our
state and local food administrators to
see that these rules are obeyed by
that small minority who may fail.
Part of the rules will be enforced
under the lever food act; other parts
are voluntary. and will depend for their
success upon public sentiment. Our
experience hitherto has shown a viii

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Just as
railroad administration officials, en-
couraged by rising temperatures over
most of the country, had begun today
to discuss removal OF the general
freight embargo on three eastern
trunk lines. reports reached them OF
new snow storms with their disas-
trous effects on railroad transporta-
ton
The immediate result was the
abandonment of hope of removing the
existing embargo tomorrow or Mon
day and the intimation that it might
be necessary to entend it further.
About Chicago. reports said, from
seven to 10 inches of snow had fallen
and was being driven over tracks and
trains by a high west wind. More
snow was forecast for most of the
country eastward for tomorrow.
Coal was kept moving and neither
the fuel nor railroad administrations
had any report indicating any more
serious shortage than prevailed last
