Torturing Pains Promptly

cause of war time necessity, probably
will prove to bo the most valuable
thing resulting from the war for Dixie,
farmers believe
Appealed to by the governI: ent for
increased food production, southern
planters dropped cotton-heretofore a
one-crop product-and turned to diver
sifiesl farming. Introduction, too, of
!, improved and labor-saving machinery.
because of shortage in farm labor,
was made.
An educational campaign was ne
cessary, but today the movement for
diversified crops Is success. 1t was
the turning point in the south's devel-
ornrent planters and business men
alike agree.
Great credit for the success of this
movement is given to the county
agents, who have not only shown
southern farmers how to raise and pro-
Guce vegetables, truck crops, field
crops and meat crops, but have been
successful in getting the farmers TO
ralse such products on a large scale.
Before the war, Dixie annually i'm
rorted about s6,000,0o0 worth OF
corn, dairy products and canned goods.
Today, the south is very nearly on
self-supporting basis.
Last year the eleven states COM
prising the Gotten belt produced 1875
rercent more wheat than in 1909.
These same states during this period
increased their oat crop 1873 per cent,
hay crop 12S per cent, potatoes lit per
cent, and sweet potatoes sixty-seven
per cent.
Hog and cattle raising has developed
proportionately with the increase in
corn and other grain production. New
packing houses and stock yards are be-
ing esta blished throughout the south.
Blooded hogs and cattle, found to be
more economical in the production Of
meat, are fast replacing scrub animals
AS an indication Of the increase in
cattle raising in the south, Mississippi
In 1914 marketed only 6,229 fat cattle
while last year it shipped 156.237 ami
mas, am increase of 1s1 per cent.
Another source of confidence in tho
future is found in the large amount of
cotton held by southern planters to
"bull'' the market Conservative esti-
mates place the amount held for high
er prices between 100000 and 5,000,-
COO bales. Prices ranging from 80 to
40 cents pound are being demanded
by owners Of the fleecy staple.

Was to start Them.

Here's new trouble the kaiser
caused.
1t has been discovered by M. e.
Flynn, state food inspector at Bur
lington and well known in KeoEuk.
During the progress of the war and
when wheat was needed to feed the
armies in Europe, the food admins
tration met with no end of trouble
in forcing some bakers to use sub.
stitutes in the baking Of bread.
Now after all restrictions have
been removed as to the use of sub
stitutes, State Food Inspector Flynn
is meeting with as much opposition
in trying to force some bakers not
to use the substitutes.

Price Changes Attitude.

1.-THE difference in the price Of the
products used as substitutes seems
to have created q complete change
OF heart in the opinion Of some OF
the bakers" Mr.. Flynn says.
The laws of the state provide that
wherever substitutes are used the
name of the ingredient and amount
must be stated on the wrapper. The
bakers may use these substitutes II
they explain this on the wrapper.
But in this day of competition, a
baker could not afford to do 1t.

The Rule on Substitutes.

The Rule on Substitutes.
There are number of bakers IN
Iowa who still have supply Of
wheat flour substitutes on hand
which they will be permitted to Use
up. 1t developes, however, that in
one or two instances, more substi-
tutes have been purchased after the
government order withdrawing the
rule was announced.
In one case the state fcod inspec-
tor forced baker to return twenty
five barrels of substitutes. which
were received a week or two ag.
from Chicabo.
Some bakers declare, however,
that some patrons after becoming
used to substitutes in bread, prefer
the bread containing those ingredi-
ents to pure wheat bread.
