such bounty as was never known be- fore. Tons of corn. Trainioads of corn. Five hundred millions bushels and above our regular needs. All we have t0Ndo is to learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made so easy ? And so clear?
 Americas own food-cornt It is the true American food. The Indians, hardest of races. lived on 1t. Our fore fathers adopted the diet and conquer ed continent. For great section of our country 1t has long been the staff of life. How we'll the South fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America win a world war.
 Learn something-corn! It isn't one food. It's a dozen. It's a cereal It's vegetable, It's bread. It's a dessert. It's nutritious, more food value in it, dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't know until you've had corn-bread properly NOOhSu' hSoI OI dllI lJS plonIituI anu it's patriotic.
 The big corn crop is now moving More than 5000 million bushels rais- ed in 1917-gives big surplus. Saves world food situation. This mighty crop raised in 1917-more than thirty bush els for every man, woman and child in America-is now rapidly moving to the market. The actual increase is about 500smilifon bushels. This extra store of grain is colning on the mar. ket in the nick of time, since the Amer. ican wheat surplus has been sent to help famine threatened Europe. \
 Just as 1t happened in the Colonial days, the war of the Revolution and the Civil war, corn has actually be- come the nations mainstay.
 In the entire list of Americas food commodities there is no item that is better than corn. In buildings, bread, corn pone, and as hominy combined with meat or eggs, corn is without peer. Housewives are fast learning the large number of delicious dishes that may be made with corn and their families are benefitting by an in creased use of the cereal. Corn, more than any other cereal, contains all of the clements essential to maintaining life and health.
 In order that the fighting men abroad and in the army camps at home may be fed, and in order that actual famine may be kept from the nations associated with America in the war, the citizens of America are finding corn products delicious and palatable on "wheatless days" and glory in the fact that "wheatless days" here mean more wheat for the war worn allied nations of Europe.
 England, France and Italy must be fed from Americas great stcrehouse They will get some n-especially Italy-but most of their grain ship ments must be wheat. Their ability to use corn is small compared to the facilities they have for using wheat. And it is the opinion of officials ill Washington that the present is no time to try and change the eating habits of Europe.
 America's greatest use of corn will be in the form of corn bread and corn meal mixed with wheat in the making of lsavened bread. Mixed with 80 per cent wheat flour, corn meal can be used in bread making, producingsa loaf more nutritious than bread baked with wheat alone. It is fact corn miflers will verify that dozens of the large American bakers have been sue. ecessfully using corn flour in bread making for several years. ....
 Homany grlts, served at breakfast with poached egg, or eaten at any other meal with meats or gravy, is another use of corn that will become unusually popular during the war.
 Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes, and corn oil for use in all kinds of cooking. are two more products that are already welcomed in thousands of American homes. Facts Concerning the Price of Corn
 The reason corn has maintainedptheI price it does-as much as wheat-is because 82 per cent of the crop is fed on the farm and only IS per cent is put on sale. Just stop and think what would happen to the price of corn if most of the farmers tried to sell their corn crops as corn, instead of feeding 1t. Instead of IS per cent, or less than one-fifth of the entire crop going on the market, we would have three or four times the amount that the trade normally takes flooding the market and corn would go to the price that prevailed in the sos. The price of corn depends on the fact that four
