CHAPTER 100

Standard head rice is not substi-
itute for the potato, in the place of
which it is recommended by rice bull
letins issued for free distribution
among the pcople-Head rice, lacking
in salts, is expensive at any price
the potato, rich in salts, is cheap mt
any price-Natural brown rice is II
perfect substitute for the potato.
The organized movement now active
in all parts of the United States to
popularize rice and hominy as a sub
stitute for potatoes threatens, unless
checked, to work great evil among
the people. If successful this vigor-
GUS effort to inspire an increased con-
sumption of these denatured products
cannot fail to set up another bad
habit among the poor and start them
moving in the direction of still great
er quantities of foodless foods.
In rice bulletin" of which one
tmillion were issued for free distri-
button, February 26, 1917, the follow
ing statement was made:
Rice contains more Strength-giv
ing material than potatoes Potatoes
are three-fourths water, while rice
contains practically no water"
The facts are that evaporated or
dehydrated potatoes. of the kind we
have been shipping through Sweden
to Germany and through England
into France, contain but IL per cent.

potatoes contain So per cent. protein,
as against 2.S per cent. protein in
boiled rice. The same potatoes con-
tain sos per cent. starch. as against
24.4 per cent. starch in boiled rice.
1t is thus easy, as you see, to twist
figures to make them appear to mean
Just the reverse of what they really
do mean.
Rice is not consumed raw When
boiled it contains as much water as
the potato and about the same guam
tity of starch and protein. The two
dishes, when set upon the dinner table
ready for consumption. are almost
identical as far as starch, protein and

tator ordered the use of natural brown
rice the rice mills would supply it at
prices much less than those now quot
ed for standard grade head rice. The
mills would not like to forego the
profits of milling the brown rice to
make it white. But they would obey
orders, and if the people once learned
the taste of natural brown rice they
would never go back to head rice
All head rice is derived from nat
ural brown rice. There is no other
kind of rice. 1t is by removing the
pericarp and germ, containing the
very vitals of the natural brown rice
kernel, that we obtain the denatured
product known as head rice.
March II, 1917, new regulations be-
came operative in France forbidding
the use of white fresh bread, substi-
tuting whole meal bread in its place.
There is no more reason for accepting
the truth in France than in America.
Educators and men prominent in pub
lie life should keep pace with Ne
truth where the fundamentals of nutri-
ton are concerned.
What the people want now is cheap,
wholesome, adequate food. Any pub
lie policy which emphasizes the inn
portance of cheapnesS and ignores the
factors of wholesomeness and ade-
quacy is dangerous public policy.
If the present tense situation.
which, as, respects the quantities of
foo6stuffs in the United States still
available, is not so tense as it ap-
pears on the surface. assists the gen.
eral public to an understanding of the
fact that standard head rice is not,
and never can be, a substitute for
the old fashioned, commonplace, but
noble potato, we can we'll afford to
bear with patience the present high
prices asked for the benevolent tuber.
These high prices are already on the
decline, and will soon be back to nor

WILCOX SENTENCED
TO TERM AT HARD LABOR
County Assessor Finds He Must Quiz
the Farmers Under Provisions of 4
New Law.

Just when he was congratulating
himself on having Slipped one over"
on democratic county treasurer by
compelling him to collect personal
property taxes, County Assessor Geo.
w. Wilcox got a figurative jolt at
the back of the ear from a democratic
state official that made him stir him
self. Harvey Alfred, the new state
director of farm markets, Saturday
called his attention to the fact that
the new state law requiring the
assessors to furnish certain agricul-
tural information was now in force
and effect and that he would have to
mail blanks to those already assessed
and must get his deputies busy with
those not assisted.
Wilcox has taken up the white
mans burden" and is now sending
the blanks and getting the informa-
ton. He says that the work is much
more onerous than that of which he
was relieved. He says that owing to
bad weather not over half of the asses
sing has been done.
The following is a copy of the let
ter:
May 3, 1917.
County Assessor;
Dear Sir:
1t is found to be imperative that
house bill No. 60, requiring the county
assessor to secure certain agricul-
tural data, be complied with for the
year 1917, and additional information
called for by the United States gov
eminent be at the same time pro-
cured by state law and national de
mand, are being expressed you to-
day.
Inasmuch as many assessors have
already covered a portion or perhaps
all of their county, it is now deemed
advisable, in order to save the asses
sor's time and expense of visiting,
to have the assessor mail to every
taxpayer of whom this information is
required and who has already been
visited, a blank, requesting taxpay-
er to fill out the same with the ut
most care, and to properly sign and
return to the county assessor at
once, by mail or otherwise.
We are unable to determine how
many of these blanks you will re-
quire, but are sending you 200O If
you need more than we have sent you,
please advise us at once. Should you
have any remaining, please advise US
the number, holding same subject to
our order.
The State Farm Markets Depart
ment will have ready for you the
necessary blank books in which this
data can be compiled and forwarded
to this office, by the time you have
returns from vOur cOuntv
May we ask that you please use
every care to insist that all blanks
be properly filled out with accuracy?

commissioners, for free water for the
county hospital, the construction Of
which is now under way. Mr.. Carl
son said that it would take a four
inch pipe to convey the water, and
that the institution would use from
5000 to 5000 gallons daily. He point
ed out that in return the county con-
templated taking care, without charge,
of the patients of the city who might
be sent to the pest house and of those
city charges requiring medical and
surgical attention. A spirit of Coop
Grafton would prove better all around
in his opinion. The commissioners
would, he said, meet Thursday after
noon to open bids on the Hansen
bridge, and would be glad to confer
with the council at that time. The
matter was referred to the committee
on water with power to act.
The council referred to the proper
committee of request of ]. L. Lind
sey for the right to run a fence across
piece of city property and explained
to A. p. Senior that the fire plugs hal
not yet been secured for the Senior
addition.
The city agreed to rent the present
quarters from the Twin Falls Com
mercial club for another year for $3.50.
On recommendation Of the library
board Mrs. H. W. Clouchek was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy created by
the resignation of Mrs. w. F. Pike and
appointed Mrs. Burton E. Morse and
Stuart Taylor to succeed themselves.
The library board reported that If
would need S25O0 for the year if left
in present quarters and $1,000 more
should the new building be completed.
This will be taken in consideration in
making up the annual budget.
The council at the request of Trea-
surer Rounds and retiring Clerk VIII
liams voted to secure am auditing OF
the city books.
City Clerk W.. A. Minnick and Trea-
surer Rounds both protested against
the inadequate protection afforded the
city by the smallness OF their bonds.

A careful preparation of the soil is,

therefore. very important
2. It is one of the first essentials
TO good crop production.
3. 1t is a waste of time and money
to plant seed in soil that has not been
we'll prepared.
Fertility of the Soil.
1. The soil should have a light
dressing of $40 tons per acre of well
rotted manure, uniformly spread over
the land. The manure should be from
straw
Flowing.
1. Pillow deep-S-inches or more.
2. Pillow we'll so as to cover man
ure and pulverize the soil.
Cultivation Following the PIow
1. If the ground has sod in it,
double disc, otherwise, harrow we'll,
to 5 times.
2. Level the land with some kind
of drag or float. This will make the
seed bed firm which is necessary to
bring the moisture near the surface,
where the seeds are to be planted. 1t
also puts the land in good shape for
irrigation.
Secure Good Seed.
1. The very best seed possible
should be used
2. The best prepared land can not
produce a full crop unless seed with
good terminating power is used.
3. Test the seed if possible Ninty-
five to a hundred per cent of good seed
should terminate.
4. You are sure that the seed YOU
are planting will test 95 per cent?
Treat Seed.
(This applies to potatoes)
1. Two ounces of corrosive subli-
mate. to Is gallons of ewater or four
ounces to thirty gallons of water. Mix
in a wooden barrel, stir with a wood
en- paddle. Soak seed in this solution
one hour and a half.
Corrosive sublimate is a poison 50
care must be exercised in using it.
Planting Garden Seed.
l. Firm the dirt around the seed
after planting. This insures moisture
and quick termination. OF the soil is
loose around the seed, it dries out so
that the seed fails to get enough mois-
