and planted his field to wheat again.
Late in the winter the farmer market

fancy price. He put the money in the
bank. The other day he paid cash for
another $1,000 Liberty Bond. Now he
is the owner of three 900 Liberty
Bonds, each of which is drawing inter

always assured, providing we win the

crop of wheat coming on, more cattle
to market in June, a fine bunch of
hogs that will be ready to fatten IN
the fall, so that with the proceeds he
can buy more bonds and help Uncle
Sam to win the war by providing food

COTTAGE CHEESE WORKER
NAMED FOR COLORADO

Washington, d. c., April 25.-The
bureau of animal industry of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
has named Mrs. Ruth Coffin, home
Colorado, to encourage i'll Colorado the
production of cottage cheese on farms
and also to stimulate its use in homes.
Mrs. Coffin, one of Al women agents
named for as many states, is to co
operate with federal and state agricul-
tural and home demonstration agents.
Miss Jessie Hoover of Moscow, Idaho,
formerly professor of home economi IS
at the University of Idaho, is the lead
er in the cottage cheese work for the
western states.
The work in Colorado will be part of
the department Of agriculture's nation
al campaign, in cooperation with the
United States food administration, to
encourage the use, as well as the pro.
duction, of cottage cheese, which ex.
periments by the department have
shown is equal in food value to meat.
Cottage cheese can be made from skim
milk or buttermilk, now largely wasted
or fed to animals, and its extended use
is expected to save large amount Of
meat which can be used by the armies
and allies Of America.
