THE HOME
DEPARTMENT
SOME PRACTICAL TALK OF
FOOD PRODUCTION AND FOOD
CONSUMPTION OF SPECIAL IN
TEREST TO HOUSEWIVES.
(Susan Elliott, Cleveland Home De
monstration Agent.)
We must save our food and econo
mize in all the things we use. We
are the most wasteful people in the
world in our ways of living. Our
tastes and desires have been edu
cated beyond our incomes said the
conference of Agricultural Represen
tatives that met in St. Louis last
month.
Home economics must be increas
ed and will be secured, chiefly,
through the further education of
housewives. We must study our
business and learn how to make larg
er use of the cheaper foods such as
corn, vegetables and skim milk with
out lowering food efficiency.
The News Letter, United States
Department of Agriculture, says that
corn meal lends itself to the making
of "light" bread in combination with
i.;-'vheat flour. It may be used in any
proportion up to one fourth of the
flour required and still produce
an attractive loaf of bread. One part
corn meal to three parts flour makes

The diseases which affect garden
plants may be divided into two
groups, parasitic and constitutional
diseases. The parasitic inseases
such as the blights are caused ny
fungi or germs, and usually may he
prevented or controlled by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture. Little is
is known of constitutional diseases,
and little can be done to prevent their
ravages. If some malady which does
not yield to Bordeaux mixture mum
.fests itself on plants in tne garden n
is well to pull them up and burn
them.
The insects which attack garden
plants may be divided into two
groups, those which eat or chew the
fruit or foliage and those which suck
the plant juices. Eating insects may
be killed by spraying with poisoned
solutions or dusting powders on tne
plants which they attack. - Arsenate

so likely to burn the loliage and
sticks to the leaves better, making
fewer applications necessary. Two
applications of arsenate of lead arc
equal to four or hve of Paris green,
and aresnate of lead solution can be
made with less care. These substanc
es are poisonous to persons as well
as to insects and must be used with
care. They must not be applied to veg
ctables that are to be used soon. All
vegetables should be washed careful
ly regardless of whether they have
been sprayed.
Mi st of the garden plants may be
guarded against disease and at the
same time protected from attack of
eating insects by spraying at inter
vals of two weeks with a combination
of Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of
lead or Paris green. Beans and oth
er tender plants that will not bear

treated with tobacco dust and other

New York, May 0. Don C. Seitz of
the New York World, chairman of the
committee on postal rates of the
American Newspaper Publishers' as
sociation, referring to the proposed
second-class mail rates, today made
the following statement:
"At its last session. the American
Newspaper Publishers' association in
dorsed a zone system as a just ami
fair way of distributing the cost of
mailing newspapers and periodicals.
It was not dreamid, however, that a
rate, equivalent to !?10 a ton would
be charged for carrying such printed
matter !!II0 miles er that it would
reach .Sl-ii a ton in the outside zone.
"No such rate a- this for tiny class
mailer exists even in war time for
the longest world routes in the way
of transportation. The newspaper!;
are prepared te pay war taxes ju-t
as every manufacturing encern
pays theirs but to have this double
