Baskets are the convenient recepta-
cles in which to pack the lunch, if yau

very apt to dry, so inside use tin
boxes when possible; divide into COM

easy matter to arrange separate space
or compartments for each kind of food.
Wrap sandwiches, cake, etc, in waxed
paper; put salad into tightly fitting
glass jar.
If you do not wish to unite the may

just before using, put that into wide
mouthed glass jars with screw tops.
Substitute graham. whole wheat or
brown bread for white bread; have a
jelly or cup custard. For picnic
lunches use the natural food products
as much as possible apples,
bananas-in fact, all fruits. If straw
berries are taken, wash and leave the
hulls on. Serve with powdered sugar.
Use dates, nuts, small cakes, land con-

There is one thing above all else that
is the principal object of interest at a

give these great thought and careful
preparation. AS a rule the bread
should be from ~ to "a hours old.

NEVADA WHEAT WAS THE BEST

Few probably know that the first
prize for wheat given at the New
Orleans Cotton Exposition 1855
was won by q Nevada man and the
wheat shown at that time was the
finest wheat ever exhibited in any
state. The wheat was grown by
Barney Reymers in Mason Valley
and was from a grade of wheat
which had won fame all through
the west. The wheat would grow
but in few localities and being of
far too good a grade to be grown
by the large wheat farmers, TAX
ing to much attention. failed to be.
come general. A fire on the Rey-
mers ranch destroyed all the seed
wheat held by Mr.. Reyniers and
since that time the wheat has not
been grown in the state.

pockets with the wheat from the
the exposition bins and it was zee.
to place a guard c it.
