Locusts are table luxury In Pal
estina and other places. The Jews
fry them In sesame oil. In Arabia
Petrea locusts are dried in the sun
and ground into kind OF -four for
baking. In Central Africa certain
tribes make them into think brown
soup.
In Madagascar they are baked in
huge jars, then fried in grease and
mixed With rice. In Algeria they
simply are boiled in water and sailed
to taste. The Arabs grind and bake
them as cakes, roast teem in butter
or crush them with cameps cheese
and dates. But they only resort to
this fare in times OF famine. In
southern Russia, where Iocusts still
are extensively eaten by the serfs,
the insects usually are smoked In the
first instance like FISH
When required for consumption the

estimated that the total acreage IL
more than 100, Or equal 10 that of a
good sized farm.
The boys of the schools take a
great pride in their gars.ens- The
teachers declare that since the gar
dens we're established the boys are
much more Industrious Il their stud

that they AL show evidence of mate

The climate OF San Antonio Is Pc
culiarly adapted to the operation of
the school garden system. The work
can bo carried On during practically
the whole school term. Certain veg
