CORN WILL WIN
ACrSWAR
America's Cieatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRT3IS.
Oyrplus Wheat of tho United States
Has Been Sent to Famlno Threat
ened Europe.
America's great corn, crop, exec

ing iJ.OOO.OOO.OOO hushch,.wl save tho
world's food fclttmtlon, ofllclals of the
United States food administration be
lieve. Corn Is tho nation's best food cereal,
housewives uro beginning to realize.
It contains all tho elements needed to
keep the body In a state of health and
when used nccortllng to the settles of
trletl recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of till or
fat, will .sustain llfo Indefinitely. In
dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn nlone for many days at a
time, and nt Valley Forge parched
corn was nt times the solu ration of
the Continental soldiers,
Owing to transportation dllllcultlcs
caused by tho war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the uatlou'H surplus
wheat has been sent to Hut-ope.
uViduy there are approximately .'10
bushels of corn for every American.
This (inutility Is greater by live bush
els than In former years.
Corn litis become the nation's uiiiln
stny In the crisis of wur. ,
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine tin
many occasions, Just as It served as a
at n pie food during the War of the Inv
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front li
the nation's battle with autocracy.
Corn meal Is finding greatly Increas
ed use In the milking of 6rdlmiry white
bread. Hundreds of honsewhos nnd
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent, com meal with wheat
Hour to make leavened hiviid. This
kind of a mixture Is worked ami baked
In the sumo lerlpe. and with 1hc same
methods that apply to straight wheat
(trend.
(,'ori) bread using corn meal entire
ly Is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
yheat saved in America' tnculW a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
1 nations with which America Is usmipI-
juen in mo war.
There .ire a score of corn' products
(hat today t.-wf.i unusual importance
jor Americans Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn calces ami buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen Instead of
granulated sugar Is one of the leading
product" lunde from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for fr.xlug and for
every oilier purpose filled by salad oils.
Is appeariuK on the market In large
quantities. It conies from the' germ of

W-iN-CiEliANY LIES
CWT.D. IN CANADA
Canada Is also having' trouble with
Madedu-Cermany lies calculated to
hinder C'anadlnii food ooii.servnllon nc
cording to an olUelal statement re
ceived from the -Canadian food con
troller by ihe United Slates food ud
ministration.
The stories bothedng Canada tire
of the same general eharacier as thoso
the United Slates food administra
tor recently denounced In t his coun
try, such ns the ridiculous fiilt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
liiiiirtcwlve)' stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller cstl
males that when Ihe people listen to
and pass on such stories, each .one
has the: power of destruction thnt lies
In a Imitation of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vest lite of
foundation have been scattered brotid
eiiBt," said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They huvo starttM simultaneously In
different parts of the country and In
each Instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are Insidious, subtle, persist
ent, lilt b. bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential In the work
of food control.
"It lies with every Individual to for
bear from criticism: to refrriln from
passing on the vngrunt nnd harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to co-operate Jn work which Is going
to mean more than the majority of
people yet realize."
THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS:
There Is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ac
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole peopls, each
element In proportion to U meant.
