But come with me and go through
this rice mill at PooZuondoung. The
field 10 looks not unlike wheat or oats
but every kernel has "a husk on Il
and this sticks TO II as though 10 were
glued When the grain is ready for
shipment TO the mills II looks much
like our wheat grains unthreshed. save
that the rice husks have neither heads
nor boards and they stick tight 10 the
kernels. II takes quite as much work

wheat into -four. This Is the work OF
these rice mills.
The Poozoondoung mill covers as
much ground as any N our large -four
