Canned Goods Will Stand
Little Freezing Without
Any Appreciate Change

In answer to numerous inquiries as
to the injury which freezing does to
canned goods, the bureau of chemistry
of the United States department Of
agriculture states that cold, unless it
goes below the freezing point, seems
to have no bad effect. In regard to
the danger of eating canned goods
that had been frozen, the bureau Of
chemistry says:
"Most canned goods will stand a
little freezing without appreciate
change. Repeated freezing and thaw-
ing cause the foods to become fiabby
and gives a fiat taste. Such a change,
however, does not alter the whole
someness or food value of the ma
terial, but it may change the texture,
appearance, and palatability. The &C.
tual damage varies with the different
kinds of canned foods and in general
is somewhat similar to damage done
by freezing the same food in the fresh
condition.
"All canned goods whether frozen
or not should be inspected for evil
dence of spoilage, due to leakage or
insufficient processing. Such spoilage
is indicated by swelling of the cans
and by an unpleasant flavor or odor
of the contents

Bodies of Americans Who
Died in France During the
War to Be Brought Home

Bodies of Americans who died in
France during the war will be trans
ferred to the United States if their
nearest relatives so desire. Otherwise
the dead will remain undisturbed.
Already large number of relatives
have Informed the war department Of
their desire to have the bodies re-
turned. In the near future a letter
will be sent to the nearest relative
of every soldier or civilian whose body
rests in France, asking their wishes
with regard to the transfer.
A memorandum on this subject,
drafted by Lieut.. Col. J. c. Ashburn of
the adjutant generals department,
says:
ut cannot be stated just now when
the transfer of bodies will begin, as
it must be deferred until conditions,
including that of transportation, war;
rant the undertaking. Due notice will
be given through the public press. >
ut is not deemed advisable to grant
requests for relatives, friends or I'M
dertakers to go to France to super
intend the preparation and shipment
of, or to accompany bodies back to the
United States. Organizations have
been formed, known as grave regis
tration units, whose duty it is to look
after burials, care of cemeteries and
preservation of Identification records
so that there will be no question as to

SELECTION OF
EGGS FOR MATCHING

Sc: only good sized eggs uniform in
size.
Set only good shaped eggs uniform
in shape.
Set only good colored eggs uniform
in color.
All this you can do with a little
care in selection.
1t is worth while, as eggs of good
size, color and shape and uniform are
marketable product at higher prices
than small eggs varying in color and
all shapes.
Eggs weighing less than two ounces
should not be used for Matching. The
large sized egg matches larger chick.
This larger chick grows faster than
the smaller chick.
This larger chick will be market
able as a brOiler sooner.
This larger chick natures younger.
This larger chick begins laying
sooner than the smaller chick.
The income is received sooner and
they are more profitable.
These facts apply to all breeds. The
comparisons are made between small
and large chicks in the same breed.
Careful selection of eggs for Matching
pays. Don't neglect it'll. w. San

Records Broken in 1918.
With total value Of 1929, 412, 900,
the nations principal farm crops in
1918 were worth more, based on prices
paid to farmers December 1, than in
any year in the history of American
agriculture. There was also a marked
increase in acreage, the 355, 1895. 722
total exceeding that of 1917 by 10,7OO,-
600 acres
That the American farmer fully real
ICES the important part he is to play
in feeding the world during the next
few years is indicated by his response
to the governments appeal for an even
larger wheat crop in 1919 than the
huge crop of 1918. Right now the
largest winter wheat crop ever grown
in the history of the United States Is
promised by the enormous acreage
sOwn last fall.
An important point for the American
farmer to remember is that our emer-
gency shipbuilding program spells we'll
nigh unlimited business opportunity
for him. The fleets of merchantmen
we are launching today as a war emer-
gency measure are no less his for af-
ter-war trade with world markets than
they are the manufacturers. Every
farmer must begin now to think inter-
nationally in terms of commerce just
as his ideas of war and politics are
no longer encompassed by the boun-
daries of the United States. His mar
kets no longer end at American wheat
terminals or Chicago or Kansas City
stock yards. The ports of the world
from now on are his markets, for in
the joint pact of America with her al
lies for guaranteeing permanent
peace after the crushing of military
autocracy, goes the duty Of serving the
commerce of the world at peace with
the ships we are launching as war
emergency of the first Importance.

Grain Sorghums Are Found
Worthy of Use and Furnish
Desirable, Wholesome Food

Although the protein of the grain
sorghums is less digestible than that
of corn or wheat, all of the sOrghums
except kaOliang furnish fairly good
source of protein and practically as
good source of carbohydrates as
the two grains in most general USE
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in expert
ments found that the grain sorghums
are worthy of use in all sections to
give variety to the diet. In regions
where other cereals are not so sue
cessfully grown, it is pointed out, the
grain sorghums may contribute ma
terially to the supply of substances
suitable as human food.
Tests were made with kafir, feterita,
milo and kaoliang, both in the form
Of bread and as mush. Check tests
also were made with corn and wheat
as breads. All six of the grains were
ground into meals of the same fineness
in the same mill. In the experiments
with the breads, the average digesti-
bility of the protein of the wheat was
found to be 77.3 per cent; corn, 500;
kafir, 51.2; feterita, 500; milo, 40;
and kaoliang, 1913. In the expert
ments with mushes made from meals
of the four grain sorghums, the diges-
tibility of the protein was about 48
per cent for feterita and kafr, ap-
proximately "a per cent for milo, and
only 4 per cent for kaoliang. The di-
gestibility OF the carbohydrates was
high for all six grains, ranging from
a5.3 to 98.6 per cent.

Small Stove Is Dangerous
AS a Source of Fire When
Overheated Or Overloaded

Unless properly installed and used
the small stove is dangerous as
source of fire, according to the United
States department of agriculture.
Some people expect too much OF
small stove and overwork it. If
stove is too small for the space it is
expected to heat it is liable to be
overheated or filled so full of fuel
that fire will fall out on the hoor
when the door is opened. The pipe
also is liable to be overheated and the
resultant danger is cited as a great
source of farm blaZes.
Stoves should not be placed close
to papered walls or woodwork unless
proper protection is provided. me
floor near stoves or fireplaces also
should be covered with some nom
inflammable material. Screens, to pre-
vent Goals dropping on the hoor'
should be placed. The door leading
to the fire box on q stove should never
be left open to check the draft, as
the small explosions constantly occur
ring in the fire are very apt to throw
out live Goals and start a fire. Open
freplaces should not pc used unless
provided with effective screens.
Chimneys should be cleaned regu-
larry to remove SCOT and any other
infammable material This is best
accomplished by means of pieces of
metal (such as scrap TIM, limbs OF
an evergreen tree, or a bundle of brush

some extent, also urban life, particu-
larly the domestic side, by women
agents who carry the best information
about home economics direct to the
homes, and explain it either in actual
trials by housekeepers or by addresses
at meetings.
The men and women who organize
boys and girls clubs strive to interest
and train the youth of the country in
better methods of agriculture and bet
ter hOmemaking. The coming gener-
alton receives an incentive that in
many cases has not only spurred them
to higher endeavors but has caused
their elders to adopt better meth
DDS of farming and housekeeping.
To make extension work effective,
county councils, county boards of agri-
culture, and farm bureaus have been
organized. These organizations are
generally composed of farmers and
others, many of them bankers, who aid
the agent in the communities of his
county. More than 100000 farmers
are members of these organizations.
In the South especial emphasis is laid
upon community organizations of
farmers. In the northern and western
states the county organization is usu-
ally known as a farm bureau. The
farm bureau is a nOnpartisan, nonsec-
tartan, nonsecret organization repre-
senting the whole farming population
of a county, men and women alike,
that acts as clearing house for every
other association interested in work
with rural people.
Expansion in North and West.
The extension agents are having a
marked influence upon agriculture in
the SO northern and western states.
The records for the fiscal year 1918
show, for example, that the number of
counties employing county agents in
creased from 544 in 1917 to 1,103 in
1918, and that farm bureaus increased
from 27S to IT'S, with a present mem
bership of 100000.
/ County agents assisted 1872, 2O5 farm
ers in obtaining 100000 bushels of
seed as result of which 3,47S,892 adj
ditional acres were planted with crops
most needed to meet the wartime de-
mand. Increased production brought
about through county agents Is esti-
mated at 32,767,756 bushels of crops
and 272,746 tons of forage. Farm bu-
reau offices or county agents received
65.095 applications for farm help and
assisted in placing 66,036 laborers.
County agents arranged or super
vised 34,613 demonstrations involving
2,OS4,5S9 acres of crops and 149,820
head of live stock; 13047 meetings
were held to acquaint farmers with re-
suits of demonstrations and were at
tended by more than 100000 persons.
On 1870 demonstrations which it was
possible to follow up closely there was
more than S4,500O00 profit to farmers.

city lies In the country. The country
can get along without the city, but no
city can be permanently prosperous
unless the farms in the territory from
which it draws it's trade, are produc-
tive. The town is built on farm prof
its; upon what farmers produce in eX-,
cess of their home needs. Towns are
merely places to store and distribute
the worlds surplus products through
the channels of commerce. Towns are
consumers-nOt real producers. The
one road to permanent city building
leads to the farm.
The farmers of America expect the
tasks of peace, the reconstruction of
the world, and the re-establishment of
normal food conditions, both here and
abroad, to press them harder, if that
were possible, than did the tasks of
the war. But they are better prepared,

service, which has done so much to
bring success to this country's efforts
for food production, has two years of
experience and a vastly enlarged or
ganization to strengthen it in the work
of peace.
General Staff" for Farm Army.
The war found American agriculture
prepared with an organization that
conferred in the department of agri-
culture and radiated through the state
agricultural colleges to every corner
of the United States. Primarily the
federal extension service has an edu-
cational purpose, but the war emer-
gency has demonstrated that the Serv-
ice can lead as well as teach. 1t has
been the general staff'' for Americas
army of 100000 farming units, and
the farmers have responded with adj
mirable spirit, the proof of which is
in the stupendous increases in the
1917 and 1918 production of essential
food crops-the crops without which
the war might have been lost.
The rapid war expansion of the fed
eral agricultural extension service is
shown by the fact that while, on April
1. 1917, the extension workers num-
bered 2,149, of which 1.461 were coun-
ty agents, 545 home demonstration
agents. and 143 club workers. on July
/, 1918, the number had increased to
6,216 including 5000 county agents,
2.O35 home demonstration agents, and
ISL boys and girls club workers.
