America’s great corn crop, exceed­ing 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save the world's food situation, officials of the United States food administration be­lieve.

Corn is the nation’s best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize, ft 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 com­bined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In­dian warriors in colonial days lived on patched corn" alone for many days at a time, and at Valley ’ Forge parched corn was at times thte sole ration of the Continental soldiers.

Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the com crop moved more slowly to markeit 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 tb Europe.

Today there are approximately 30 bushels of com for every American. This quantity Is greater by five bush­els than In former years.

Corn has become the nation's main­stay 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 Rev­olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come, to the front in the nation's battle with autocracy.

Com meal fs finding greatly increas­ed 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 flour to make leavened bread. This 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—nslng com meal entire­ly—Is 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 assocl-

' ated in' the war.There are a score of corn products

that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet­ening com 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 com.

Hed nice.In Senega] red rice grows wild. The

fields in which it grows are inundated fegularly by the Senegal or by its af­fluents, and in measure as the tide rises the rice plant rises above the flood. The grain is very red and very dry and hard. It swells in the water and as it swells loses some of its rich color. It is very nourishing and requires no cul­tivation.
