Nearly 1,ooO,0Oo,OOO Bushels
More Grain Was Raised
Than in 1916.
CORN LEADS ALL THE REST
Production Of Grain and Other Farm
Products Far Exceeds Any Other
Year in History of Country
Weather Ruins Flax.

Washington. - Farmers contributed
approximately $21 ,OOO,OOO,OO0 to the
wealth of the nation this year in the
production Of grain and other farm
products, far exceeding any other year
In the history of the country. OF this
immense total the corn crop leads with
an estimated value of $4,053,6 81 1000.
The oats crop is valued at $1,061 ,427,-
900; wheat at $S4S, 81, 900, and pota-
toes at s543.S65, 900.
Final report on the crops has just
been issued by the department of ag-
riculture, and it showed that with the
exception of wheat the leading grains
established records in production. A
big wheat area was planted, but severe
winter killing cut down the crop heav-
lily. Cotton was caught by an early
frost and suffered q sensational loss
of approximately 100000 bales from
early estimates. A late season and
early frosts hurt the corn crop, but
more in point of quality than quantity,
and there is more soft corn in the
country this year than ever before.
1000, 10000 Bushels in Excess.
Nearly 1,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels more
grain was raised than In 1916. The
final estimate shows total production
Of $500, 72S,00O bushels of the five
leading grains. This compares with
4,6S6, 253, 900 bushels last year, and is
close to the record aggregate produc-
ton in 1915.
The total wheat yield Is given as
55O,S2S,0OO bushels, compared with
536,31S,0OO bushels last year, and $685.
361 600 bushels, the 1911-15 average.
Corn production is estimated Mt
3,159, $4,000 bushels, about $1,000, 900
bushels under the preliminary figure
and compared with 1850. $4,000 bush
els raised in 1916. The five-year aver
age was 2,754, 10000 bushels and the
previous bumper crop in 1912 was
1924, 746,0 900 bushels.
The yield of oats was also q record

Each -four customer Is now requir-
ed TO buy one pound of cereal substi-
tute for every pound of wheat flour.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value Of the com.
modities There is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat -four at all.
A wide variety Of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeai. corn -four
edible cornstarch, hGi..l.y. corn grits
barley -four, potato foa-, sweet potato
-four, soya bean il fr Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice -four, oatmeal

stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either nf these commodi
ties may be sold al the ratio of three
pounds to five pount.S of wheat fur
that Is, five poU..@s of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat -four
Mixed flours form another excep-
ton. Where any flour contains so
per cent or less of wheat 1t may be
sold without any substitutes Where
the -four Is mixed at the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared infants and invalid's food
containing flour may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is a fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for time.
For instance, If customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, pounds; corn
grits, pounds; rice, pounds; buck
wheat, pounds; cornstarch, / pound
hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats. 8
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf
fins or used In the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch Is useful In making Gus
lard, thicken.ng gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish, or 1t may
be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat -four may be used in
bread making. forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat -four. but is especially choice IN
the form of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With IL wheatless meals needed
each week In America TO provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Foo
Administration believes the substitute
will all be used to advantage.

The United States Food Ad-

THE BIG ISSUE.

As the first big step in heading
off democratic reconstruction and
preparation for the returning sol.
diers and sailors, the special in.
terests are making unusual efforts
to get as many as possible of their
flunkies in public office this fall.
Nearly half of the senate, for in
stance, is up for reelection and
the senators elected will hold office
for six years, or better, for more
than the period in which the big
issue will be fought out. They
are making the great effort now
because they are certain the peo-
pie will be thoroughly aroused
two years from now and that they
would lose if they waited until
that time. Will old General
Apathy lead the special interests
to another substantial victory this
fall! Will the people fall for the
flunkies whose only recommends
ton is the supposed "loyalty"
bread they offer and then be fed
on serpents for the next genera
tion?-Ex.
