Four years ago last Spring "Farmer Smith," agricul turist with the O.-W. R. & N. Company, was peddling about Yakima County little 5-yound sacks of seed com and asking farmers to experiment with it. Many laugnea at him, and said "this wasn't a corn belt." This year half a million bushels of com matured in the. Yakima Valley and what is more, the average yield is con servatively estimated at 65 bushels to the acre, while many farmers .report that their crops will run 100 bushels or more to the acre. The average crop wield in the United States is but 25 bushels per acre. It is hardly probable that a single .ton of this great crop will be shipped out of the valley; it won't appear in the grand total of $20,000,000 or perhaps $25,000,000 which will be received for crops grown this season, though if it did the amount would be increased by about a million dollars. That million dollars, however, will be added .to the in come of Yakima farmers in pi-ofits on hogs, sheep and cattle; in the increased returns on hay sold which other wise would be fed at home, and in various other ways, for practically all of the com grown here will be fed to live-; stock in the form of ensilage or otherwise. ' i Successtul com growing is but one contribution to lak ima prosperity, but an important one; it is an example of the transformation o fthe district during the past five or six years from a one-crop "country to one of diversified crops and interests. Farming as abusincss in the Yakima Valley is on a firm foundation. ' "Farmer" Smith is one of the men who put it there. Yakima Daily Republic. "f,..'" FOODS TODAY AND TOMORROW.

The savings of our people will win this war. France came to our aid when we were struggling for lib erty and how we are making ready to help lift the burdeus of this great world war which have fallen to heavily upon her. . From every school district in this great State of ours, comes the victorious results of the Hoover Food Pledge Card Campaign; many districts going 100 per cent will ours ? And I am beginning to see the window cards giving out their glad message from every home in the rural com munities as well as m the towns and cities. These are homes shielded with patriotism; a patriotism which will sacrifice gladly in this great crisis. The savings of our people will in the aggregate not only be represented by the millions of dollars in Liberty Bonds, but more materially represented by the great reserved food supply laid by because the American housewife has seen the wisdom of substitution. Women of our great State, we must decrease the use of these four foodstuffs, wheat, red meats, sugar, and wheat flour to the minimum. But we cannot limit the use of these foods without adequate substi tution in food values. , . Our soldiers and allies are greatly in' need of the red meats and as a Nation we have depended largely upon meats as a source of protein, Lei., tissue building food. Eggs are expensive because of the. high cost of feed and it is therefore necessary for fish, milk, cheese, and tissue build ing vegetables to figure prominently in our menu as a sub stitute for meat and eggs. ; . The familiar term "war bread" means bread prepared by combining a minimum amount of wheat flour with oth er suitable materials for bread making, suck as cornmeal, buckwheat flour, cooked rioe.ahd potatoes, w On every hand is heard the demand for good, reliable recipes using substantive foods. Our Agricultural College and State Food Chemist have just turned out three bulle-j tins: War Breads and Calmi; The Use of Dried Fruits' and Vegetables; and Substitutes fur Meat; containing over 80 splendid recipes. - If vou belong to the Home Studv Club conducted by Miss Zoo Golden in this district you will receive these bul letins, if not write; in to mv ol'i'ice at. La Grande. Thev may be had for the asking. The purpose of .the Home Study Club in our community is to effiicently train the housewives in substituting food values, the needs of the body and how to meet these needs. That although "this war must he paid for out of (he sav ings of our people," the Nation as well as the Arniv mav be well fed.

Beeswax & Blinken make good soup, which soup - they largely advertise; and when I find my spirits droop, I buy a can, and feel them rise. Bees wax & Blinken spend good yen to introduce their helpful broth, and so, wherever there are men, their product cuts a good wide swath. I buv it bv the dozen cans, consume it morning, noon and night; I eat it out of bowls and pans, and al ways find it strictly right. Sometimes when I am needing soup, by Beeswax and his part ner canned, I toddle to the grocer's coop, and ask him for this famous brand. Sometimes -the grocer says, "Oddsfish! I do not keep the Beeswax line; I know it is a famous dish ',' but here is something just as fine." Oh, then I pull the grocers' nose, and deftly stand hinj ' on his head; such piffle, as you mav suppose, ,wiil always start me seeing red.
