MEN WHO CAN HELP FARMERS
Each town, under the leader
ship of its most active spirits,
such as its chamber of com
merce or county council of de
fense, itself should immediately
make a survey of all able-bodied
men who have had farm experi
ence and obtain pledges to spend
a day or two out of each week,
or a week if need be out of the
month, at the periods of great
est demand, in order to help the
farmers. There are many men
working in the towns whose
places can be taken by the wom
en. I have in mind particularly
men waiters, elevator boys and
clerks whose work can be well
substituted, if the business sen
timent of the town will act res-'
olutely and persuade employers
to use women temporarily in or
der that the men may be re
leased for farm labor as the oc
casion may require.—Clarence
Ousley, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture.
Fortify With Silage Against
Winter And High Priced Feed
\ '
“Don’t forget your silo,” is ,advice
to the beef-cattle fanner by special
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
In every case, the specialists say, a
sufficient acreage to provide crops to
fill the silo should be provided by beef
cattle farmers. This will assure that
the silo investment will yield its prop
er annual return and prevent losses
coming from giving the cattle more ex
pensive feeds. The cheapness with
which cattle can be fitted for market or
carried through the winter with silage
insures that well-filled silos will be a
paying investment.
It is a good farm practice, the spe
cialists say, to put more acreage to si
lage crops than it is estimated under
ordinary conditions will be necessary
to fill the silo. Dry weather or a hail
storm at the crucial stage of growth
may cause a marked decrease in the
tonnage yield. For the South a few ex
tra acres should be planted to sorghum
to meet thm probable shortage.
Telephone Courtesy
The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephone
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the promptest possible connec
tions.
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
politeness on the part of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. Ihe best
results come through the practice of
mutual courtesy.

Why Rye Flour Was
Removed From Substitute List
Numerous inquiries have come to
the Food Administration asking why
rye flour was removed from the list of
substitutes for wheat flour. On May
1 it was estimated that there remained
but 16,000,001} bushels of rye in the
United States. Against this amount
our normal 'consumption of rye from
May 1 to August 1 amounts to 31,000,-
000 bushels. If rye flour had been com
tinued on the substitute list our avail
able supply would not have lasted one
month. In order that there might be
even a limited supply for the normal
uses of rye flour, this cereal was taken
off the substitute list.
Checking Ail Sugar
The Wholesale and Retail Division
of the Food Administration advises
that arrangements have been made
with the larger mail order houses so
that they will send to the Federal Food
Administrator of the State in which
they have made sales of sugar for can
ning purposes the actual certificates
which the consumers have signed.
Specific Substitutes
Feterita flours and meals are listed
as wheat flour substitutes in Wheat
Conservation Rules 26, 29 and 31,
which govern sales of wheat flour to
"retailers and consumers, but kaffir and
milo flours and meals are not expressly
included in the list. Nevertheless they
are considered substitutes, being in
cluded by interpretation in "feterita
flours and meals.’'
Kaffir and milo flours and meals are
expressly included in the list of sub
stitutes for bakers, which is contained
in Wheat Conservation Rule 25.
