Corn Meal Facts.
A question that Is frequently asked
at the Federal Food Administration
offices is why, in the face of a "bum
per" crop of corn, -the price of corn
meal should be so high.
"It Is true that the -1917 corn
yield was a heay one," said Assistant
Federal Food Administrator W. K.
Newell in explanation. "Plans had
been made for a plentiful .supply of
corn meat for the entire nation to
use as a wheat substitute, and the
corn growers had responded splendid
ly to the request of the Food Admin
istration by planting every possible
acre to corn. The almost unpreceden
ted corn crop that resulted has been
commented upon far and wide, but
It Is not so generally known that un
favorable weather conditions, includ
ing several early, warm rains, render
ed most of this crop unfit for milling.
"Only the first-class, dry corn can
be milled. The moist 'soft' corn can
not be made Into corn meal, although
some of the better grade can be con
verted into meal after a slow process
of kiln drying. Such of the corn as
can be milled, including all the prime
grain an mtm t the. seoena-gide
'soft-corn', is now being ground lpto
corn meal. One of the first elements
in the-bisk price la thev greatly- In
creased demand for the meal. Every
corn mill In the country is working
night and day at capacity, to supply
this demand. Every mill has sold
Its full output for weeks ahead.
"Another element contributing to
the price is the added cost of the kiln
drying process for the moist corn,
which is being used this year to sup
plement the first grade dry corn.
Traffic congestion, which was the
cause of the great delay in moving
the crop from field to mills, contri
buted further to the high price. This
is the corn situation throughout the
whole country, and here In the North
west, because of our great distance
from the corn belt and the greater
difficulty of securing transportation
facilities by which to ship in our sup
ply, our corn meal prices are even
higher than those of the Middle West
and Eastern states. A little serious
study of these facts should make It
clear to anyone that talk of 'profit- J

Those., who., had not applied. for; in
su ranee were covered by automatic
insurance Which le payable to a Wife,
child or widowed mother. The auto

monthB.' Insurance" that had been
applied for Is payable to a' much-larger
class of beneficiaries and can' go
as high as $10,000, netting $57.50 a
month for 240 months. ' '
The compensation in case of death,
given by the Government without
charge and regardless of rank or pay,
ranges from $20 td 75''a month,
based on the number of dependants.
Payments' under 'the' compensation
feature of the military and naval' In
surance act in case of death are pay
able to a widow, children, or depen
dent widowed mother'.
The automatic insurance ceased on
February 12, but the compensation
feature of the act Is a seperate pro
vision. The scale of compensation
in case of death follows:
(a) For a widow alone; $26.'
(b) For a widow and one child,
35.
(c) For a widow and two children,
$47.50, with five dollars foi) each ad

(d) If there be no widow, then for
one child, $20.
(e) tor two children, $30.
(f) For three children, $40, with $5
for each additional child up to two.
(g) For a widowed mother,$20.
The amount payable under this sub
division shall not be greater than a
sum which when adled to the total
amount payable to the widow and
children, does not exceed $75.
eering' as the cause of the high corn
meel prices is unfounded.
"And by the way," Mr. NeeH'con
eluded, "an interesting development
of the oversupply of soft corn wag the
discovery of an entirely new and very
fine vegetable oil corn oil. Corn
oil, now being made in great quanti
ties from this soft corn, is pronounced
by experts to be among the best, most
palatable, and most nutritious veg
etable oils on the market. It offers
substantial help In the solution of our
conservation problems. Corn syrup
Is also a good conservation product
that is being extensively manufactur
ed from the soft corn. Both of these
fine conservation commodities may
now be had in abundant quantities
and at reasonable prices. Oregon
housewives are urged to try them."
