WHEATLESS BISCUITS.

Parched cornmeal is the feature of
these excellent wheatless biscuits.
First, the cornmeal-one-half a cup
is put in shallow pan placed in the
oven and stirred frequently until it
is a delicate brown. The other ingre-,
dents are a teaspoon Of salt, a cup:
Of peanut butter and one and half
cups of water. Mix the peanut but
ter, water and salt and heat While
this mixture is hot stir in the meal
which should also be hot Beat thor
oughly. The dough should be of such
consistency that it can be dropped
from spoon. Bake in small cakes
in an INCREASED pan. This makes 16
biscuits, each of which contains one
sixth Of an ounce of protein. ~

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR Bread

There has been much misunder
standing about the bread program in
England. It is true that the English.
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $2O0,0O0,0O0 a 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 to the mills by the govern.
ment at price that allows the adult.
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 10 cents, the two pound Loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex
traction, the four pound loaf sells TOY
16 cents. - re

MAKING MEATLESS
#~,< DAYS PERMANENT,

In the meatless menu there is fer
tile field for developing new and nour
fishing dishes, according to e. II. Niles
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla.
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
broad field for investigation.

Americas great corn crop, exceed

United States food administration be-
Sieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,

Owing to transportation difficulties
<caused by the war the corn crop moved
z7nore slowly to market this year than
sever before. Now, however, the cereal

4n the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe
Today there are approximately 80
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

staple food during the War Of the Rev.
solution and during the Civil War, King
aCorn has again come to the front in
saile nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
aed use in the making Of ordinary white
Sbf>ead. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
;aiour to make leavened bread. This

methods that apply to straight wheat

Corn bread-using corn meal entire

than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted 1.-Two
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food adminis-
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a 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 fields-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,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, $17.29;
November and December, $16OS; Jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07, 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,-
341, 800, a 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 Ad-
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.

The early varieties such as Jersey Wakefield would come on for late fall or early winter use while varieties like Succession or Late Flat Dutch would come in for late winter. Late cabbage can be banked and kept in the open after the weather gets too cold outside for them.

HOW TO CONTROL APPLE TREE
 RORER

Fayetteville, Aug. 5.-In a bulletin on the round headed apple tree borer just issued by the Agricultural Exper- iment Station of the University of Arkansas, Prof George G. Becker rec ommends for the control of this insect the worming of the trees in August and April, the spraying of young trees to poison adult insects, and the protection of trees which are close to a source of infestation with a combi- nation of asphaltum and hnseed oil.
 From the standpoint of destruc- tiveness of an individual insect, the round headed apple tree borer is with out doubt the most destructive orchard pest of the Ozarks. One borer can kill a small tree" says the bulletin. The book contains a complete bibliography together with numerous photographs of the insect in its various stages and of various trees that have been dam aged or killed by it's operations.
 The bulletin is the result of the studies and observations on this in sect and it's activities for the pas. four years by Professor Becker. Cop ies can be had by dressing the Di- fet tor, Agricultural Experiment Sta tion University of Arkansas, Fay etteville.

PLANS FOR NEW DRAFT AGE
 MEN

Washington.-With the utmost pos- sible speed which can be attained by the draft machinery, there is no pos slbility the men to be called by the ex- tension of ages can be called before November, and it is possible they will not be called before the first of next year.
 This is the opinion of men charged with administration of the draft ma chinery, even though it is believed Congress will rush to enactment the latter part of August or the first of September the legislation. to extend the age limits.
 Discussion is in progress among congressman as to the extended age limits. Some congressman will favor policy which will call the men plac- ed in class 1 in accordance with their ages. For instance, 1t is believed the policy to be favored will call the men of 9 and 33 before any call is made upon the men of 40, and probably that the men not 21 will be called be- fore the older men, providing the draft age Is lowered to 19. as seems prob abtp

Americans spend $3,80o every min ute of the day for booze This is the price of a comfortable home of the average working man.
 Just think, this means to throw away home for some working man every minute It means l ,440 homes every day, It means 535,6O0 homes every year. If we count 5 persons to a family, nearly 3,0oooOO people could be comfortably housed on the nations drink bill yearly.

CLEAN UP HOG HOUSES FOR
 FALL PIGS

Premises infected with hog cholera during the past year should be clean ed and disinfected before pigs are al- lowed access to the infected premises. To do this, haul out all manure from the lots and hog houses, rake and burn all rubbish, and scatter lime in the low places. It is not necessary to ap- ply any chemical disinfectant in the lots after they have been cleaned. Sunlight will do the work. The inter for of hog huoses not exposed to sun light must be treated with a chemical disinfectant. Greosol is good for this purpose.
