Wheat Substitutes Attractive.

There seemed to be no limit to the number of good things made from wheat substitutes by Miss Leila Gaddis, of Purdue, at a demonstration before the South Marion Farmers’ Club last week. Oatmeal, coffee cake, corn meal, doughnuts, and corn and rye muffins were among the simpler dishes prepared by Miss Gaddis and enjoyed by the members of the club. Our farmers and farm women are intensely patriotic and are very willing to conserve wheat flour when they know how to prepare attractive foods without it. The work of the home demonstration agents is to distribute information relative to the use of the substitutes. Other clubs and organizations will find it to their interest to arrange similiar demonstrations at their meetings.
