Reports are coming to the office of the-Unitéd States food administration and . committee-of food supply stating that women are buying sugar in ex- cessive amounts for canning and many families are putting up large quant- jties of jams and marmalades. We realize these reports are un- doubtedly the result of the appeal made to conserve all kinds of food including fruits, Because of the loss of sugar by sub- marines and the fact that we have a shorter crop than was anticipated, it is now necessary to put a ban on prod- ts which take a large amount of uga,r sucH as jams, jellies and mar- malades. From now on these products month. We can't afford to Pick over raspberries, mash a few in the bottom of a preserving kettle. Heat slowly to boiling point, add grad- ually the heated sugar and corn syrup. Cook slowly for about 45 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Pack into sterilized containers.

The ground meal can be used in con- nection with, carbonaceous feeds < to balance a ration, Peanuts and velvet beans are quite extensively grown in the southern states and make splendid feeds when used as grazing crops or fed in the form of meal. Since they are not grown in the New England states we cannot depend upon them except in the ground form as placed on the markets. Cotton seed meal is another southern feed rich in protein which can be successfully used in connection with corn or other feeds as a finishing feed. It should not be fed in large be a do the thirty days, as it is known at times to contain toxins poisonous to hogs. ‘When used with caution it is consid- ered a safe feed. In order to make feeding as econom- ical as possible use should be made of pasture or forage crops. Rye makes a splendid pasture and can be grown in most localities where hogs are raised. If it is to _be used as pasture only the land should be seeded heavily; from one to five bushels per acre, depending on the quality of soil and the amount of feed required.

Perhaps the pest of the e substitutes August 1, and will make more or s of an enormous growth, depend- ing upon the soil and season. When grown for it may be sown broadcast or with a grain drill, using from 50 to 70 pounds of seed to the acre. Or it can be sown in row: like corn, using from five to ten pounds 1 of seed per acre, cultivated and cut for silage with a corn binder. | When used as silage it should be cut when the seed begins to harden. For silage it is nearly equal to corn and under good growing conditions will produce more tons to the acre. When sowed for hay it should be cut with a grain binder and shocked. Later it can be hauled to the barn or feed lot and put in the mow or stack- ed, to be fed whole or run through cutting box. As it is hard to cure, it may be to leave it outside in shocks or a 11 stack. as the weath- r does not damage it There are two types sroom corn type. w teads, and the foxta one spike head.
