SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan OF selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future
In spite OF this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repea tedly TO issue official de-
malls OF rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandlsts and part
ly by constituencies grafters. who
sought TO profit through buying from
misinformed housewives
The year 1918 viii see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history. officials in Washington believe
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone

AMERICAN SAYINGS WILL
MEASURE wheat EXPORTS

"We have already exported the
whole Of the surplus OF the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands Of our own population. 1t Is
necessary, therefore. for the food ad-
ministratlon to restrict export of wheat
so as to retain In the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume OF saving made by the Amer
lean people In their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
1--WE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed. but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable TO load
several hundred thousand tons of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December
alone"

World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servatIon Measures

1t Is probable that Europe for many
years after the war Will look to a
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europes herds are dwlndllDg under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale OF maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained In
England, as follows: For September,
S1776 per hundred pounds; October,
$172S; November and December.
Sl60s, and for January. Sl4.40. The
evident intent of this measure was TO
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle OF France have decreased TO
q total OF 12.34i 800 as compared with
14,s07. 900 In 1913 Today, due to lack
Of forage principally. France is pro-

WHEAT-CORN YEAST BREAD.

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread and In so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat -four
for the allies. Here's tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups OF milk. water or mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat flour.
Put one and half cups of water.

used) into double boiler and cook

-four and yeast mixed with the rest
OF the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place In pan of stand
ard size allow TO rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 40 or 80 min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
It Is possible to make yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of -four. In other re-
spects the bread Is mixed and baked
as in the above recipe.

100000 In Fruits Saved.

Mrs. Jane McKimmon, in charge OF
the home economic division of the
state department of agriculture, finds
that during the season just closed
there were canned and dried In North
Carolina not less than two million dol
lars worth OF fruits and vegetables
that would otherwise have been lost.
Her figures are that there were can.
ned and dried $2.192,5O7 OF fruits and
vegetables at cost of about S54S,147
giving an estimated net profit OF
sl,646,450. These are the figures from
the 60 organized counties and it is
reasonably certain that fhe other A.
counties also did a splendid part Ii.
this canning and drying conservation
work.
Some idea OF the volume of the
work done In pressing the canning
and drying campaign for the season
by the division is given in the feet
that there were 6,O71 meetings OF can
ming clubs held, attended by 2S2S0s
persons. Something like $4,000 let.
tiers were written and 10000 circulars
of instructions for canning and dry
ing distributed The enrolment OF
the canning clubs was 14,064. The
local agents are estimated to have
caused installation of 1888 fireless
cookers, 565 iceless refrigerators,
2,463 fytraps, 439 systems of water
works and other home improvements.

In letter to the experiment stat

able results OF the draining a piece
OF land that was very wet and of no
value whatever for agriculture. This
year II made $50 bushels OF corn, $50
bundles Of fodder and and a few
bushels Of peas. At 81 per bushel the
corn is worth 5000. the fodder worth
s2166, making total OF $32166 for
this crop. The cost of the fertilizer,
preparing, planting and harvesting
amounted to SOL. This deducted from
the value Of the crop leaves a profit of
s220.66. The cost OF tile draining the
field last winter. using four inch tile,
was $3.50 which deducted from $220. 66
leaves a profit in favor of the tile Of
$685. From this, it can be seen
that one corn crop grown on the tile
