The New England varieties are the
best keepers. They are pulled when
the tops fall over and lie in the sun
during the day, but they are stored
before night in a hot loft for curing
with the tops left on.
When perfectly cured they are
stored in a cold, dark place with the
dry tops still on, as they lie more
loosely in this way and do not sprout
so readily as when the tops are cut
off

The annual application of stable ma.

make tubers on the potatoes there
must be an abundance of phosphoric
acid and potash. for the presence Of
potash in due amount is necessary to

Shows World How to Grow Rice

Although the total production of rice
in Spain is the lowest of the six rice
growing countries. the yield per acre
is double that contained in Italy and
Egypt, and more than six times the
official figures for India. This result
Is due to the thorough cultivation Of
the fields with specially designed i'm
plements, to the system of transplant
tation and the use of large quantities
of suitable heterogeneous and phosphate
manures, practices introduced by the
Moors from the Orient
The fear of encouraging malaria has
hitherto acted as a deterrent to the ey-
tension of the area under rice in Eu-
rope. says the editor of Nature, but at
the recent international rice congress
at Valencia the view was put forward
that this prejudice is unfounded, pro-
vided that certain precautions are OBJ
served. If this view gains credence 1t
can scarcely be doubted that there
will be material increase in the Eu-
ropean production Of the cereal.

WHERE EASTER LILIES GROW

Lying somewhat south OF the gulf
stream, and six hundred miles or so
of the Atlantic coast from Charleston,
S C., is group Of several hundred
islands known as the Bermudas
Storms seem to have been RESPONSE
bic for our early knowledge OF these
beautiful islands. which unlike most
sections Of the habtable globe, have
never known war.
Mark Twain once wrote Of the place.
1T is heaven, but hell to get there"
For many years England used the
islands for convict colony but as
the misuse Of such a beautiful spot
became apparent, the idea was aban-
doned, and az many Of the conyicts

pardons. and portions Of land allotted
to each one with which to make a
fresh start, many OF their descendants
still own and cultivate extensive lily
and onion farms.
Today one can ride for miles along
the country roads between fields OF
pure white flowers, growing in such
profusion ESPECIALLY during April
when the blossoms are at their besU
that the ground is not yisible-just
masses of white and green.
There are over two hundred farms,
some of which are 80 to 40 acres, de-
voted exclusively to lily growing.
Both tourists and natives grow very
tired OF the heavy perfume of the
flowers, which is often noticeable
mile away.
The fragrance of a bunch OF lilies,
delicately seeming a room or church,
Is very different from the overpower-
ing perfume eXhaled from large lily

good thing, for the odor of the onion.
still raised there to some extent. often
brings a welcome change,
The natives are quite resigned to
the heavy perfume, knowing that, acre
for acre, growing the lily Is three or
four times as profitable as raising
onions, potatoes or fruit
1t is believed that lily bulbs were
first brought to this country from
Japan. by a man named Harris, to
which country they had been brought
from their ancient native home, China.
The bermuda lily Is known as lilium
harrisi.
The original lily is probably the old
est of all known flowers, and also is
the only Towering plant that has no
poor kin.

Caucasia.

In the southern section of Caucasia
agriculture is the principal industry
Wheat and other cereals, cotton and
tobacco are produced. In Ciscaucasia
cattle breeding is profitable, while in
the mountainous districts mining is
carried on extensively. The mineral
deposits include copper, silver, iron
and manganese ores, cobalt. sulphur
quicksilver, naphtha and rock salt. The
country also produces a great deal Of
petroleum. Rugs, wooden goods and
harness are made. Caucasia is gov.
erned by general governor acting for
