SWEET POTATOES USED IN SIRUP MAKING CAN BE MADE AT HOME FROM SURPLUS .SPUDS .AT .NO .EXPENSE. Recipes for Its Use which are Recommended by United States Department of Agriculture Experimental Kitchen.—Great Saving of Sugar. With sugar high and hard to get syrups of various kinds have taken on new importance in the eyes of housekeepers. A syrup well liked by those who have used it is made from sweet potatoes. It is palatable and useful, both in cooking and on the table, and it can be made easily at home from potatoes that otherwise might be wasted because of the difficulty in storing them. Any of the common varieties of sweet potatoes can be used, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Potatoes which have been harvested for some time yield a sweeter syrup than those recently harvested. How to Make Syrup. The method of preparing the syrup is as follows: Wash the sweet potatoes and remove any decayed portions or other blemishes. Peeling the potatoes im- 1½ cups flour. Heat syrup to boiling point, pour over fat, add dry ingredients sifted together. Chill, roll thin, cut with cooky cutter, bake in moderately hot oven. Drop Cookies. 1 cup syrup. 1 cup fat. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon soda. 2 teaspoons water. 1 cup raisins. 2 cups flour (about). 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 4 teaspoon cloves, powdered. Heat fat and syrup together, add spices while warm. When cool, add part of flour sifted with soda, egg well beaten, and raisins. Add just enough of the rest of the flour, so that the dropped teaspoonfuls of batter hold their shape. Bake in moderately hot oven. Chocolate Cup Cake. 1 cup fat. 1 cup syrup (plain or caramelized). 1 teaspoon soda. 3 tablespoons milk. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 eggs. 2 squares (ozs.) chocolate. 1¼ cups flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1½ teaspoons vanilla. 2 tablespoons sugar.

The method of preparing the syrup is as follows: Wash the sweet potatoes and remove any decayed portions or other blemishes. Peeling the potatoes improves the quality of the syrup, but is not necessary. After weighing the potatoes, place them in a kettle with from two to three times their weight of water, and boil for one and one-half hours or until thoroughly soft. Without removal from the kettle and the liquid in which they were cooked, mash the potatoes until smooth and add water if needed to form a thin mush. The temperature of this mixture should be brought to 140° F., and one-half ounce of ground brewer's malt should be added for each pound of sweet potatoes as weighed before cooking. The malt contains an enzyme capable, under the proper conditions of temperature, of changing some of the starch of the potato into sugar. This action is best accomplished between 140° F. and 150° F. If heated to too high a temperature the activity of the malt enzyme destroyed, hence for satisfactory results a good thermometer is necessary. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred a sit is very important that the temperature of the mass be uniform throughout during the action of the malt. After allowing it to stand for a few minutes at 140° F. the mixture should be stirred constantly while heating until the temperature of 150° F. is reached, and then should be removed from the heat. Let the mixture, now technically termed the "mash," stand for one hour, with occasional stirring. At the end of this time place the mash in cloth bags, close the opening of the bag and knead the mass gently. The juice flows out under gentle pressure, leaving the pulp behind. Place the juice so obtained in an open kettle and boil down to a syruv of about the consistency of molasses. Good for Caramel Flavor. KINGSBURY OFFERING SCRIP AT AUCTION Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury will hold a public auction sale of script in the Senate Chamber at the State Capitol, Sacramento, on Monday, March 1, 1920, at 10:00 a.m. State script is the cheapest land script on the market today. Said script can only be purchased by citizens of the United States who are residents of the State of California and who have not filed and perfected applications for school land with the Surveyor General amounting to 640 acres. State script is not transferable. No purchaser can buy more than 640 acres of script. Persons who have purchased school lands at auction only are qualified to buy script. Script is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, and the surrender of the script is payment for an equal acreage of government land. At the last auction sale of script the average price received per acre was $9.82. Homestead and desert land entry- technically termed the "mash," stand for one hour, with occasional stirring.

Place the juice so obtained in an open kettle and boil down to a syruv of about the consistency of molasses. Good for Caramel Flavor. This syrup is especially delicious in any product where a caramel flavor is to be developed by browning, whether it be candy, pudding, custard, pie, icing for cake, sweet sauce, baked beans, or glazed potatoes. It is also very acceptable as a table syrup to eat with pancakes, fritters, etc. Some people like the syrup better if flavored with a little caramelized sugar. A little acid, from one to teaspoons of vinegar, to a cupful of syrup is another addition that lends variety, or both acid and caramel flavor may be used together. The following recipes for the use of sweet potato syrup were tested in the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: Taffy. 1 cup syrup (nearly 12 ounces). 1 teaspoon vinegar. Cook together about 10 minutes, or until a hard ball is formed when dropped into cold water. Pour out onto greased pan or slab. When cool enough to handle pull. Gingersnaps. 1 cup syrup. 1 cup fat. 1 teaspoon soda. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ginger. SLEEPS AND RIDES IN SERVICE CAR A lbizzard was hurling its stinging snow against the show-room windows of the Ford Motor Company's branch in Fargo, N.D. when a stranger swayed from the walk and entered the door somewhat unsteadily. He greeted none, but choosing a spot near a model "T" touring car, lay down and quite evidently immediately went sound asleep. Efforts to arouse him were useless. Official assistance arrived, but he accomplished very little. So finally the sleeping stranger was bodily lifted into a Ford service car and taken to municipal lodgings, where, once he awakens and listens to certain more or less formal declarations and other informal incidents, he will undoubtedly come to a fuller and greater appre- ed school lands at auction only are qualified to buy script. Script is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, and the surrender of the script is payment for an equal acreage of government land. At the last auction sale of script the average price received per acre was $9.82. Homestead and desert land entrymen can relinquish their entries through the Surveyor General and acquire title to the land through the purchase of script. The applicant need not live on or improve the land. All money received from the sale of state script goes to the support of the public schools of the state.

A ree Jose Mercury com ANAHEIM GAZETTE MUST CONSERVE WATER FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES Time has Come When All the Flood Waters Must be Saved. Present applications to the State Water Commission for permits to divert water from various streams for projects, chiefly irrigation, estimated to cost nearly $20,000,000 altogether, remind us again that the existing supplies of irrigating water as now regulated will soon all be appropriated. That condition has already been reached approximately in the San Joaquin valley, where extension of irrigation must now consider more economical use of the available stream flow and the utilization of lowland waters, where the level has risen because of former wasteful employment of water above. It has not yet been reached in the Sacramento valley, which is both less in area and supplied with larger mountain stream than the San Joaquin. In Southern California the state of complete utilization of the usual stream flow was reached years ago, so long since that for a couple of decades development has rested on the tapping of swamp land supplies and strict avoidance of waste. All this points unerringly to the conclusion that having made the most of the streams as they run in their ordinary way we will have to save for use the extraordinary flows that follow winter rains and springtime snow melting. The normal volume of the streams is insufficient to irrigate the advantage which has been secured by growers because of this cannery. "It would be of great interest to the fruit growers of this valley if actual figures could be compiled showing the increase of values of their products, the direct result of the establishment of the California Co-operative Canneries and the erection of the big plant on Taylor street. Of course it is impossible to compile such statistics, but it is not difficult to see that, this increase in values runs to very large figures. "The opinions of the leading growers of the valley, taken with information available as to prices paid for similar products in other sections of the state, give a very good basis on which to make estimates. As an example, apricots were purchased by commercial canners in other sections of the state at prices ranging from $50 to $75 per ton. The average price paid by the leading canneries in the Santa Clara Valley was $100 per ton and this price was exceeded in some few cases by smaller canneries. The buying in this valley was delayed until the fruit of other sections of the state had been pretty well taken up, and by that time the growers were familiar with the plans and the capacity of the co-operative plant and its influence was being felt materially. Conservative growers not members of the local co-operative organization have freely stated that the establishment of the Co-operative Canneries added not less than $25 per ton to the canning apricots of the Santa Clara Valley. This on a basis of 10,000 tons, which is a close estimate of the total tonnage of apricots sold the canneries during the season of 1919, would make..." OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J.

Say It With FLOWERS development has rested on the tapping of swamp land supplies and strict avoidance of waste. All this points unerringly to the conclusion that having made the most of the streams as they run in their ordinary way we will have to save for use the extraordinary flows that follow winter rains and springtime snow melting. The normal volume of the streams is insufficient to irrigate the lands we want to put to better use than dry-farming. It is impossible to divert and employ the spring floods as they flow to waste in the sea. We must, therefore, impound them in the mountains, to be let down for use when and where needed. It is admitted that any comprehensive plan for the storage and complete use of the California mountain run-offs will run into many, many millions. It is, therefore, a matter for Federal financing. Such a proposal is not an attempt to make the nation pay for a benefit to a single state. There is no reason why, if the work is done on sound principles and not too far in advance of the need, the lands benefited should not be able to pay back every penny to the government. The proposal is, then, merely one that the government, which is alone able to advance the money for such an undertaking, should play the part of financier. And a government that has arrogated to itself the authority to tell us how and under what conditions we may use the public lands and waters that of right are ours ought to be willing to make that return. We are reaching the stage in the West when we must not be frightened at the magnitude of these vast irrigation necessities. Let us remember that the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia and Egypt, with none of our steam shovels, attacked and conquered irrigation projects beside which anything we moderns have done is puny indeed. At a time so remote that we are not sure now what people lived there the inhabitants of Mesopotamia were confronted with a condition like that now rising before California irrigationists. By man power alone they built a system of dams and canals so vast that engineers agree that it must have been able to control and influence was being felt materially. Conservative growers not members of the local co-operative organization have freely stated that the establishment of the Co-operative Canneries added not less than $25 per ton to the canning apricots of the Santa Clara Valley. This on a basis of 10,000 tons, which is a close estimate of the total tonnage of apricots sold the canneries during the season of 1919, would make a total increase in the value of the canning apricots of approximately $250,000 for which the California Co-operative Canneries should receive credit. "On the 1,600 tons delivered by members of the Santa Clara Valley Growers Association to the California Cooperative Canneries this increase will be over $40 a ton as the average price returned by the cannery on all grades of fruit will be $115 per ton. This means that the Co-operative Canneries will have paid to its growers on apricots delivered during the season of 1919 canning profits to the extent of $64,000. "It is to be noted at this point that the average price paid above covered all grades of apricots delivered and as frequently the case in the early history of a co-operative cannery a considerable quantity of fruit was delivered to the local institution of quality below that accepted by commercial canneries at contract values. This lower grade fruit, of course, reduces the average per ton of the oc-operative plant and makes direct comparison with commercial canners' prices unfair to the growers' plant. On the deliveries of the best quality of apricots such as the canneries require from their growers the co-operative returns will range from $125 to $140 per ton. These figures taken in connection with the conditions surrounding the operation of the new plant at a time when the buildings were still in course of construction, the personnel was new, in many cases made up of unskilled and inexperienced labor, gives some idea of the possibilities of profits for the growers in the operation of their own plant packing their own fruit." "The facts have become so well known to the apricot growers of the valley that the possible capacity of the CO-OPERATIVE CANNING There have been several co-operative canneries in California, and they have resulted in many a fruit grower getting full return for a crop which would otherwise have gone a begging. Unfortunately everyone of these has not been a complete success, though none has been a complete failure. But business management is succeeding and we believe that today every cannery operating upon a co-operative basis is successfully managed. Herefore these concerns have not been large, but the California Co-operative Canneries, now erecting an enlargement to its plant in San Jose, has gained a success greater than most of the others. A recent issue of the San Jose Mercury comments editorially on irrigation projects beside which anything we moderns have done is puny indeed. At a time so remote that we are not sure now what people lived there the inhabitants of Mesopotamia were confronted with a condition like that now rising before California irrigationists. By man power alone they built a system of dams and canals so vast that engineers agree that it must have been able to control and utilize in irrigation the entire flows of the Euphrates and the Tigris, floods and all. The remains of this far-spreading system are still traceable all over the Mesopotamian plain. Even if these people were able to marshal millions of slaves to the task it would be strange if with our modern machines we could not accomplish at least as much.—S. F. Chronicle. MR. WILSON'S SURRENDER Now that 166,000 gross tonnage of German ships has been turned over to Great Britain following President Wilson's order overruling Chairman Payne of the Shipping Board, the question has arisen, What nation will pay for the losses that have been sustained by virtue of the idleness of the ships and the wages of thousands of British seamen who were shipped to New York in September for the purpose of manning the liners? The puzzle is, not what nation will pay, but how the question ever arose. President Wilson's decision is regarded by the British as a triumph for the British. It is quite possible that the British had received an authoritative tip that they were going to win on the question as to what nation would get the ships, else they would not have undertaken teh expense and risk of sending their crews to man them. It is an American diolar to a German mark that Mr. Wilson's surrender to Great Britain will be unconditional and that the United States will pay the losses and wages. President Wilson has consistently surrendered to Great Britain ever since his first inauguration, which he celebrated by changing his mind on the Panama Canal tolls question and forcing the repeal of the law which gave free tolls to American coastwise vessels. The platform upon which he was elected that year, and which, he assured the people, was not "molasses to catch flies," declared: "We favor the exemption from toll of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the canal." But Great Britain did not favor that exemption, and Mr. Wilson has been the most potent ambassador that Great Britain ever had in the United States. If you don't believe it, ask Lloyd George, who framed up the six-to-one vote in the league of nations. LISTEN TO McAOO!
