Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
America's great corn crop, exceed
ing 3.000,000,000 bushels, will save the
world’s food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be
lieve.
Corn Is the nation's best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In-
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the 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 nation's surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nation's ma’n-
stay In the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev-
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nation's battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent, corn meal with wheat

kind of a mixture Is worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread—using corn meal entire-
ly—la gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved In America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ
ated In the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen Instead of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities.’ It comes from the germ of
the corn.
MADE-IN-GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA
Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac
cording to an official statement re
ceived from the Canadian food con
troller by the United States food ad
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra
tor recently denounced in this coun
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives' stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have pren scattered broad-
cast,” said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and In
each Instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist-
ent. Bit by 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 refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
atory. and thus the more effectively
