Instead he sat long time by the fire.
He reflected OH the events of his first
few hours in that supposedly uninhab-

Spinach Salad.

Spinach salad can be made from the
leaves both cooked and uncooked. II
the cooked leaves are used they should
be finely chopped and then moistened
well with French dressing, made from
three parts Of oil and one of vinegar,
and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Put the spinach in little mound on
heart of white, crisp lettuce. Another
way to make cooked spinach salad Is
to put the cooked leaves through a
sieve, to make a paste of them. Then
form the paste into small balls. about
the size of walnut, and roll these in
chopped nuts Arrange half dozen
of them for each plate on a bed OF
lettuce leaves.
An unlocked spinach salad is this:
Wash and drain quart of the tender
est spinach leaves and put them in
salad bowl. Add some tender spring
onions, finely cut, and a few mint
leaves cut fine. Serve with French
dressing.

u. S. Crop Report.

The important farm crops of the
United States this year are worth ST.

the value of the same crops last year,
notwithstanding a loss of S41S,000.000
sustained by cotton planters on lint
alone as a result of the European war
Preliminary estimates of the i'm
portant farm crops, announced by the
department of agriculture, and stats
tics of the average prices paid to pro
ducers on November / indicate that
this years wheat and corn crops are
the most valuable ever grown in the
United States, and that the wheat and
apple crops are record harvests and
the potato crop is the second largest
ever grown.
The wheat crop and the increased
price of that cereal, the corn and the
apple crop and the increased price OF
barley, oats and rye more than offset
the big loss in the value of the cotton
crop resulting from the war.
The values of the important crops
based on the average prices paid tC
producers November 1 and their val
ues last year follow:
