DAsHEEN FINDS Favor
SOMETHING NEW TO EAT.

The daSheen, a root crop In
troduced into this country nom
Trinidad within recent years by
the United States Department of
Agriculture, is now grown by a
number of farmers and truckers
in the South, and promises to be-
come a valuable member of the
group of domestic vegetables,
such as the potato, which furnish
starchy foods. The new vegetable
is closely related to the taro,
which is an important factor IN
the food supply in portions OF the
Tropics. The dasheen is itself
primarily a tropical plant 1t can
be grown successfully, however,
not only in the warm portions of
Florida, but in other sections of
the South, as far north as Ken
lucky. The edible portion of the
plant includes large central
CORN and a number of tubers, of
much smaller size, attached to and
around the CORN.
The value of the dasheen, it is
believed, will be as a crop sup
Elemental to rather than a sub
stitute for the potato. The fact
that the dasheen natures in the
fall when potatoes must be obtain
ed from northern producing Sec
tons should make the new plant
especially valuable In the econo-
mics of the southern planter.
In food value the dasheen is
comparable to the potato, though
it contains a smaller proportion
of water and a greater proper
ton of protein starch, and sugar
than the latter. The new vege-
table may be prepared for the
table as potatoes usually are, or
may be made into flour and used
in baking. The tender shoots
forced from the large corms may
be prepared like asparagus, and
make a pleasant dish in that
form.
The dasheen is grown from
whole tubers weighing few
ounces. They require a frostless
season of at least seven months,
with plenty of moisture. A moist
but well drained, rich, sandy
loan has been found to be a sat
isfaetory soil for dasheen culture.
The dasheen is good ship
per and is handled by the car
riers at the same freight rates as
potatoes. The vegetable has al
ready found its way into a.p}rm-
Der of northern markets.

HICKMAN HAS BEST
SHOW FOR ARMoR PLANT"

There must be another leak, "
according to q letter received
Tuesday by Frank Won Berries
from one Capt. Chas. Campbell,
water transportation and terminal
expert of Minneapolis. This gem
tleman indicates primarily that
he is interested in the iron bust
ness, etc., but the two most sur
prising paragraphs of his letter
are as follows:
at has come to our under
standing that your town (Hick-
man) stands the best show of ac-
quiring the U. S. Aranor Plant.

that iron ore can be shipped to
your town for at least 1-3 less by
the Mississippi River Route than
any other route that You can
mention, and that certainly ought
to be a big item to take into con-
sideration when you are figuring
ON the economies involved.

is a question, but there is EVIL

Dalton Girls No Match for High
School Basketball Team
VISITING TEAMS FIRST DEFEAT
Massachusetts Champions Completely
Outciassed In Fast Game at
Library Hall.

The Bennington high school girls
won basket ball game from the Dal-
ton high school girls Friday evening
by the one-sided score of 29 to s..
Since the beginning Of the season, the
Dalton team, which is a member of
the Western Massachusetts league,
had not lost game until Friday eve
ming, however, 1t was outclassed from
the first blast of the referees whistle
until time was called at the end of
the second half.
Bennington began to score immedi-
ately after the ball was put in play.
During the first period the Vermont
girls ran up total of IL points while
the best that Dalton could do was to
tally once from foul. The ball
was lowering around the Dalton bas-
ket the larger portion of the time.
Occasionally a Dalton guard, would
shoot the ball into the Bennington
half of the court onl yto see it land
in the hands of a Bennington
player and be quickly returned. The
Bennington forwards were at times
over aggressive and had a number of
fouls called against them. Only one
of the fouls, however, resulted in
point for the visiting team.
The team work OF the Bennington
forwards. Margaret Nash and Julia
Brazil was a revelation. They kept
with the ball continuously and on
large percentage of their attempts to
ha ha11 ftt1
were ably assisted by the center,
Minnie Fisher, and the two guards
Beulah Whiteley and Alice Green
In the second half the Dalton girls
appeared to sense the style of play of
their opponents to some extent al
though they failed to block the low
passing of the Bennington forwards.
In the second half Bennington added
IS points to the score while Dalton
acquired four through two rong shot
field baskets by Miss Hosburgh.. The

The preliminary game was between

was scrappy contest in which some
of the smallest players figured con-
spicuousiy. The F'ilibusters won by
score of 10 to 13. The last few
minutes developed some of the fast.
est basketball seen on the court this
season. The score was tied at I'LL
and both teams fought hard to make
the winning points.
