a Pointer on Rice.

Texas and Louisiana are ackn0Wl-
edged to be the great rice Producing
States Of the Western hemisphere, and
Il would suppose that the "natlves,"
like OrientaIs, would use the nutritious
cereal as their principal table dish and
standard food. 1t was an odd common
tary, then, on the inconsistency of
things, and a sad shock to him, when
Passenger Traffic Manager S. F. 3.
Morse, of the Southern Pacific (Sunset
Route), received The following letter
from A. J. McDougaie of New York.
ST. B. Morse, Houston, Texas.
My Dear Mr.. Morse: From all | had
heard and read about the great South
west, | thought Louisiana and Texas
were the two great sections for rice,
and on a little jaunt out as far as Beau
nOnt, made up my mind to try the re-
Suted delicious cereal in all sorts and
alapes, feeling sure that on it's native
tEsath it would be prepared to perfec-
tfAp. The waiter in the restaurant ut
~le, assf politely told me it would take
Lake Charles, for breakfast, | ordered
it again, and was politely told, emo rice
dis mawDin', sah." Saved up my appe-
ute for dinner on a Southern Pacific
diner and got in early and at once or
dered two portions of rice and ream
The steward looked at mo in aston
isbment and disgust, as much as to say,
"Do you think we would serve such a
thing OF this carr"
This ended my vision of feasting ON
rice. just thought | would mention
the fact to you that it is pretty good
food, even if they don't seem to think
so where they grow it.
Yours sincerely,
A. j. MCDOUGALE.
Col. Morse's answer was terse and
characteristic. Thanks" said lie to
Mr.. McDougale. II wish every rice
planter, miller, hotel keeper, restaurant
teur and housekeeper in the Louisiana
and Texas rice district could read your
letter. AS far as the Southern Pacific is
concerned, | had already taken steps to
have the delinquency remedied, and
some time ago forwarded a large guam
tity of onr Rice Cook Books to our
Superintendent of Commlssary Depart
ment. who promises to utilize many of
the 200 recipes for rice cooking on the
Southern Pacific diners and make rice
dishes a specially" Thanks for your
jogging. 1t will do good. Yours truly,
