FARMERS "AssIsTED" AGAIN

|
About year ago Congress amend
ed the law so as to permit the War
Finance Corporations government
owned and controlled ,institution-to
financially "assist the farmers.'
How the corporation has used Uncle
Sam 3 money TO "perform' this task
is told in report Of the first year s
operations just submitted to the
Senate.
It would appear that a total Of
$3OS, 439, 722 has been paid out or
pledged. OF this $235,s24,01s has
gone to thanking and financing"
institutions, $63,650,ooo to coopera-
tive associations, and $s,965,7os to
the big exporting concerns.
Thus the bankers and exporters go.
four dollars out of every five con-
tributed by the government to "as-
sist the farmers.'
Secretary Of the Interior Fall,
Congressman Hudspeth, and other un-
Improbable witnesses have told us
what the bankers did with this mo-
ney. They used it in many instances
to meet their own obligations, and
when they loaned it to customers they
charged such usurious rates and de-
manded such unreasonable bonuses
that Secretary Fall called the matter
to the attention of the President and
the cabinet, but so far as the record
shows nothing was done.
When it was proposed that the War
Finance Corporation be charged with
the work Of aiding the farmers the
Senate was considering bill by Sen
ator Norris, Of Nebraska, which pro-
vided that the government should
deal with the farmers without the
interference Of bankers or other mid
die men.
The Norris bill would have passed
if Senator Frank Kellogg, Of Mime
sofa, had not interviewed, at the sug-
gestion of the President. With the
aid Of the "Old Guard' kellogg had
the entire undertaking placed in the
harris Of the War Finance Corpora
ton.
The result has been just what all
importiai, observers predicted-the
measure which was passed to relieve
the farmers has been used to increase
the bankers profits.

the HOME KITCHEN

Almost everybody likes dumplings,
yet they are seldom served outside
of homes where real home cooking
is in favor. Light and tender dump
ings are not an impossibility when.
made by experienced hands, and
trial of the following recipes may
help lift the prejudice from: few
of the varieties.
When a dumping is to be boiled
on top Of stew or soup, or in salt
ed water, it is an unwritten law that
the liquid should, be boiling and not
tepid. as so often happens, as the
teptd water ruins the dumplings. If
it is to be baked, then have the oven
at the proper temperature, the same
as you would for; cake: If dumplings
are to be made the are worth MAX
ing with the same care that is be-
slowed on other dishes if we want a.
tender, digestible product.
Quick Dumplings for Stews
Sift one pint of flour with two
teaspoonfuls Of baking powder and
half teaspoonful Of salt. Dust in
teaspoonful of sugar and little
pepper. Mix to a soft dough with
milk, turn onto a Toured boad, roll
one inch thick and cut into. rounds.
Roll each round in flour, drop on
top Of the boiling stew, cover tight
ly and cook 20 minutes.
Steamed Apple Dumplings
Mix one quart of sifted flour with
three teaspoonfuls of salt. Rub in
heaping tablespoonful of butter or
lard, and grated: boiled potato,
and little milk, and knead. to the
consistency of soft biscuit dough.
Cut in pieces and press out with the
hand. Fold a pared; cored and quar-
tered apple in. each piece, dust with
a little cinnamon and sugar and put
in g. piece Of butter and fold over.
Place the dumping on a. Toured
plate in the steamer. and steam 80
minutes. Serve with good pudding
sauce. ..A. E&.t: s,.'
