SUBSTITUTE CORN PRODUCTS ¥OR BEANS, POTATOES, RICE In view of a serlous shortage this year in potatoes, beans, and rice, other #tareny foods will be needed to take thew piace on the table. The United States de- partment of agriculture points out in connection with this situation that there is an abundance of corn, and that not enough of it is being used for human food, although it may, to a large ext: take the place of the other three products in the diet. Corn products are not exa equivalent for potatoes, beans, or rice, but may be used in combination with veg- etables’to supply 2 maximum of nourish- ment at a Lw price. There is opportunity, partieularly in the Northern states, for an increased use of such produets as hominy grits and corn meal. Specialists in corn utilization statg that one reasom corn meal is used mare in the Southern states than in the North Is that it is made only from'sound grain properly care for, and has a fine flavor which justly gives it populatity. If those who save corn for grinding at home, or who send it to be milled, would see that it is pramptly dried and stored in rat- Toof, dry rooms er crips the finished p duet would come ints far greater denfand as an inexpensive and suitable food to | serve as the starchy element in a meal. i ¢ | MAEING NEW STRAWBEREY BEDS ome Connect! ctting + and plowlng up the old bed immed after the frait growers pave at least their hest fields for second crop of fruit.
