ance or taste of the flour. The peo-
pie of Finland are starving, trying to
live on a daily allowance of three or
four slices of bread made from birch
bark, beech buds and smattering
of wheat. Appendicitis and intestinal
ailments are resulting in Germany
from the use of the war bread pro-
duced in that nation. Scientists have
given up the task OF improving the
German war loaf and the government
announces no relief in sight.
America, however, is backed up in
wheat-saving by the greatest corn
crop in the worlds history. AS soon
as the big crop starts to market and
prices drop accordingly, the govern
ment will begin campaign for the
more extensive use of corn meal.
Normally the people of America eat
an average of one bushel of corn each
year. This year there are 80 bushels

ful fruit men know this fact and bear
1t in mind when pruning, says H. p
Barss, plant pathologist, o. A. c.
1t is positively known that the con-
tinued presence on fruits or foliage
of moisture from rain, dew or fog is
exceedingly favorable to the germina-
tion of fungous spores as those OF
apple or pear scab, brown rot, peach
blight, leaf spots, etc., while any con-
dition which tends to bring about a
rapid drying off of the leaves and
fruit is decidedly unfavorable to in
fections. Sunlight and air movement
are natures great drying agencies.
Open pruning by judicious thinning
is therefore of great value because
1t permits air circulation and sun
shine within the tree, while ordinary
heading back without thinning favors
the formation of a dense top, and this
retards evaporation. Correct open
pruning is worth dollars and cents

when he said that "a boarded dollar

necessary and of primary Importance,
but industry and business cannot be
overlooked without fatal results
The campaign against the enemy
must be backed by industry and busi-
ness going on to a great degree as
usual, else the wherewithal to finance
the war will be cut off. To stop
manufacturing trade and transporta-
tion, to hoard is killing the goose
Money must be kept in circulation,
and let it be kept at home so that it

UNCLE SAM SHOWS
NATION HOW no SAVE

Where will you be ten years from
new?
If you are not in the land Of the
living, where will your wife and fam
lily be?
Much depends upon how you use
your talents, and upon whether or
not you are thrifty.
s. w. Straus, well known as
writer on investments and things
financial, has found that the records
show that only per cent of the men
who die in this country leave an
estate of 10000; Is per cent leave
from $4,000 to $4,000, and the re-
naming 50 per cent die leaving no
tangible assets.
But they usually leave widows and
families, because wives, so the rec
ords show again, usually outlive their
husbands.
Only IS per cent of the widows of
the men who die are left in comfort
able circumstances; AZ per cent are
compelled to go to work, and the re-
naming S5 per cent have to be taken
care of either by the state or by their
relatives.
What is the answer?
Thrift.
And Uncle Sam has shown that he
appreciates the situation by his plans
to give the people of the nation op-
portunity to serve their country in
this time of war, and at the same
time teach them to save, to become
thrifty, by the purchase of thrift
stamps and war savings stamps.

be understood that the corn quota
tions are based on feeding corn, rath-
er than on the milling grades,
"a new and very valuable food
product, however, has been discoy-

ing a way to use the great quantities
of soft corn that were produced this
year This new product is corn oil,
which is proving to be one of the best
cooking oils yet discovered, and
which is given high rank among the

SOFT CORN CAUSE
OF HIGH PRICES

Queries are constantly being made
at the office of the Federal Food Ad-
ministration in Portland as to VIII!
the price of cornmeal, despite the big
corn crop, is so high. Many persons
elso want to know why there is such
a difference in the market price of
corn, as quoted in the press, and the
figure at which cornmeal is to be
had from the retailer.
Assistant Federal Food Admins
traitor w. X Newell, who has Just
returned from Washington, looked
into the corn situation thoroughly
while in the east and reports that
while the corn crop throughout the
corn belt was very large, peculiar
weather conditions caused a very
heavy percentage. of soft" corn,
which is unfit for milling.
only the first grade corn, entire
ly free from moisture and known to
the trade as No /, can be milled," +"
said Mr.. Newell. THAT is one reason
why cornmeal remains at such high
figure throughout the country. The
still higher price of cornmeal in the
northwest is due to distance from
the producing point and the transpor-
tation difficulties. AS to the appar-
emily excessive difference between
the quotations of corn in the market

BURN WATER AND
SAVE COAL AND OIL

When our warships and the allies
need coal and oil 1t is rather fine to
read of what one power company is
doing to save naval fuel.
To abate the smoke nuisance, abol-
fish car shortage, and save coal, oil
end wood fuel is what hydro-electric
power accomplishes at one stroke.
Read the record of one power COM
pany:
The Utah Power and Light Com
rany, that takes its power from the
Bear river and serve Salt Lake, Og-
den and 100 other cities and towns,
supplied power this year equal to
j 900 900 tons of coal.
This means that power generated
from the falling waters that are run
ming to waste would have taken 25,-
900 carloads of coal to generate il
or more than half as many cars OF
fuel oil.
Put in terms of coal it means
2,0S3 carloads month saved, engine
power to pull them, miners to mine
the coal, when cars and men are SC
badly needed in other lines of service
by the nation.
One million tons is about one-third
the coal production of Utah, where
coal shortage has been the worst in
the past, and releasing of cars comes
at a time when railroads are taxed to
twice capacity.
Other hydro-electric companies are
making the same record.
