In emergencies it may lie necessary
1 ?.* some patriots to unyoke the oxen
i.r.d leave the plow standing- in the
furrow, but the lasting support of the
Nation requires efficient patriots to
to cp the plow going. The soil sup]*'rts
the corn; corn supports animals;
corn and animals support an
army; and "armies fight on their
bellies." Let us properly care lor
the goose that lays the golden egg.
Whether corn piices are high 01

jvcre yields reduce the expense of
both labor and land. It is remark

Assurance of a Good Corn Ci-op.
In the northern third of the United,
S.ates, corn yields are reduced b>
lack of heat more than by all othei
t.uuscs combined. The soil freezes to
>\:ch great depths that the corn crop
).- slow in starting in the spring, unless
assisted by deep spring plowing
and frequent early cultivation. The
object to f>e kept in mind in preparing
the land is to cause it to warm up
rapidly in the spring. Methods that
permit air to enter the soil frcelv
will assist the soil in becoming warm.
The surface should be kept open and
:.s dry as possible.
Planting.
With duo care in nrenarinir lanu
rmd with proper seed corn, plantings
mould be made several weeks earlie
t.,an is usually practiced in the Ijlorth
cm States. Enormous losses due to
failure of the corn crop to mature can
he largely prevented by earlier planting.
It has become customary to delay
corn planting until the soil is
warm, because poor seed will rot in
cold soil. The proper kind of seed
cvrn can be planted before danger
from frosts is past. Spring frosts do
not seriously damage very early
planted corn. One fall frost is worse
than thiee spring frosts. The earliest
plantings mature earliest and usually
produce the largest and best crops.
While it may not always be advisable
to plant "one for the blackbird, one
for the cow, one for the cutworm, and
three for to grow," it is advisable
even with the best of seed to plant
two or three kernels for every stalk
desired. Some of the young plants
will be destroyed. It is very much
letter and more profitable to pull out
the weaker and superfluous plants
than to attempt to get good results ,
l\v replanting. Replanting very seldom
gives good results. Thick planting
and pu'ling out the weaker stalk .
increase the chances of obtaining
yields.

KOW TO SELECT
FOODS OF VALUE *
Hints That May Save the
Housewife Much Money ^
Now. v
The following suggestions on get
ting the mowt food for one's money ^
are from United States Department
of Agriculture Fanners' Bulletin 808,
"How to Select Foods."
Use cereals, (flour, meal, cereal
breakfast foods, etc.) freely, taking
pains to prepare them with great
care and to vary the kind used from
to day if necessary to keep people
from tiring of them. ^
Remember that a quart of whole
milk a day for each'child, to be used
a ; a beverage and in cookery, is not ^
too much.
Plan carefully both in buying and
in serving.
I)o not be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food means providing
enough food, neither too little nor too
much.
Notice carefully how much of such
staples as flour, sugar, milk, cookjjvj
fat, etc., is u #mi each week fin- A
month, apd see if there are any ways
of cutting down the quantity needed. ^
Buy nonperishable materials in
quantities if bettor prices can be socured
and there is a good storage
place in the home. Neighbors can
sometimes club together to get lower
rates.
Estimate carefully how much of
any matenal will be needed before
laying in a supply, then see that none
is wasted by careless handling.
Try to make the dishes served of
such size that there will be enough
t.) satisfy the appetite of the family (
and no unnecessary tabic and plate
waste.
Do not bo above noticing whether
anything usable is thrown away with
the garbage, which always shows
how thriftily food is used in a household.
Many inexpensive materials can
be made attractive and the diet can
bf\ pleasantly varied by a wise use of
different flavorings. j
"Firticky'" tastes in food often prevent
tbo u?o of many valuable materials
which might bo the means of
saving money.
Good food habits are an important
part of personal hygiene and thrift *
Children get such habits by having
suitable amounts of suitable foods
served to them and then being expected
to eat what is set before them.
True economy lies not only in buying
wisely but also in making the
fullest possible use of what is
bought.
