Saws Corn Has
High Food Value

The form Of animal food for human
consumption. There certainly can be
no greater economic problem than TO
prevent good human food from being
unnecessarily consumed by animals.
Wheat and Corn as Human Food.
During the prewar years 1909-13
over 80 per cent of the wheat crop Of
the United States, or approximately
47O,000,000 bushels. were used In
bread. OF corn, however, only per
cent of the crop, or approximately 85,-
100000 bushels, were ground into meal
or -four suitable for bread purposes. 1t
is thus seen that while this country's
corn crop Is over three and one-half
times greater than its returned wheat
crop. less than one-fifth as much of
the corn as of the wheat Is consumed
directly as food.
Each, year the people of this cOun-
try consume about fifty pounds of corn
per capita as human food. The
Italians, on the other hand, eat about
SO per cent more than we do, or 70
pounds per capita. The Rumanians
ing countries, e. e., Hungary. Russia,
Jugo-Slavia. grow considerable quanti-
ties and consume large amounts Of
corn.
Food Value High.
Looking at corn flour. corn grits
and meal from the standpoint OF their
composition and food value, 1t may be
,.1.l a.
ment of Agriculture experiments that
grts and meal have the same nutri
tional value MS rice, and that corn flour
and soft winter wheat flour have es-
sentinlly equal foof value. Grits can
therefore replace rice In the diet, and
corn flour replace portion of the
wheat -four without decreasing the
value of the food one iota. In this
country, broken rice has often been
as much as 33 per cent more expensive
than corn grits; ut present wheat flou.
(clear grade) costs about twhNe as
much rs corn flour. Corn -four and
corn giits are the cheapest cereal foods
produced in this country and are avail.
able not only for home consumption,
but FOR export.
"There Is an encouraging feature In
the probable effect of feeding corn
gritS 80 so many children of Europe.
Due to the unfortunate condition OF
certain sections of Europe, there has
been II ve,y large and unusual demand
for corn gifts Through the activities
of the American relief administration
about half II million children in poiAnd
200,0O0 In Austria, $4,000 in Hunsa,y,
and now 100000 In Russia, are BERG
fed at least one meal day contalnnS
either corn grits or rice us the cerea'
portion of the diet Thus it may be
seen that n tremendous propaganda for
corn grits is being carried on by the
American relief administration In
feeding almost four million children.
This should mean the elimination to
large extent of that prejudice against
corn which has in the past character
lied portion of the popvl ion Of E,t

been for years, but of course II re-
mains to be seen whether the talk will
amount to anything more than talk.
The people of the lower section OF the
state especially were hard hit by the
ravages of the boil weevil last year
and from that section many stories are
heard of ruined farmers and bankrupt
business men. One member of the

stand. An instance of this crept out
on the floor of the house Friday. A
memorial was received from n wo"

urging that Winthrop be treated con-
siderately in the appropriation bill this
year. The usual motion, that the
memorial be received as information
and printed in the journal, was made.
Mr.. Evans of Marlboro objected on
the score of economy. The cost OF
printing the memorial would have
been $3.50. The talk by Mr.. Evans in
opposition to printing it probably cost
the taxpayers $50.

to urge against it.
Her face had blanched. she ar

and Erskine was soreIy puzzled.
The girl. too, had grown rebellious
and disobedient, for the change in
her mother was plain also to her,
and she could not understand.
