Eat Corn Real to Save Wheat Warns U.S. Food Administrator
Howard Beinz, Pennsylvania Food Administrator, urges Pennsylvanians to consume excess corn meal to avert shortages of wheat and avoid millions in losses. He recounts last winter’s wheat shipping needs, corn as a substitute, and notes corn meal sells cheaply at 4 to 6 cents per pound. He highlights versatile uses from corn mush to corn bread and Victory bread to sustain the diet.

Consul General reports a subdued ginseng market in Hong Kong and China with below normal arrivals and weak demand despite silver’s high value. An American root consignment sold at fair prices, but a later lot brought about half that. Uncertain political and financial conditions, piracy, and export coinage disruptions dampen trade, with little confidence in sustained improvement.
