Rice a La South Carolina.

No food, regardless OF Its merits, will
appeal to the consumer unless II can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
table as an uninviting. glutinous mass,
except in certain sections of the South
ern states, where It Is served with each
grain distinct and separate, making
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, fiaky ker-
nels of rice Is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. It
Is very probable that the attractive ap-
pearance of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness OF
rice in that stnte.
In seeking information on the art of
cooking rice. no mistake is made in re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value of this cereal has been ap-
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using Of one pint Of rice, after thor
ough washing, which she considers im-
portant. "to a quart and a pint Of wa
ter" and a teaspoonful Of common
salt. This is to be boiled over q quick
fire for ten minutes. stirring OCCASION
allv Then pour of all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow fire, and allow 1t to
steam for 10 minutes at least. stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy. according to the quantity OF
water left ON It when put to steam. and
the length of time allowed in the
steaming. The larger the quantity OF
water and the shorter the steaming,
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used In
boiling rice or at least notifications Of
the recipe given. but It must be re-
membered that the results should not
be glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount OF
water used and the length Of time In
steaming.

How Pot.te Spraying Paid.


Some potato growers. according to
recent statement from the depart
ment of agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that 1t does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons Of bad infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement, and most recently
in Aroostook county, Me-. In 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department Of agriculture in co-opera-
tion with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were interspersed
with untreated plots. the average
yield on II Of the former was at the
rate Of 1872 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate of 1875 bushels
per acre. an increase of 37.7 bushels
per acre. or more than 20 per cent in
favor of bordeaux mixture

French Fashions
Feature Economy

| New York.@There is some exceed
ingly good feature about the French
gowns that are beginning to arrive In
America, which will not cause disap-
proval over here. That Is the striking
similarity between afternoon and eve
ming costumery. according to fashion
writer.
1t was once said, in slightly con-
temptuous manner, that in certain Sec
tions of this country the women wore
guImpes In their ball gowns for after
noon occasions and that no one was
capable of such an economical combi-
nation but the American woman, or ut
least, no other woman who moved in
fashionable circles.
1t has long been the opinion of the
French. whenever they were sufficient
ly lenient to be interested in the Amer
knew the exact shade of difference
that existed between an afternoon
gown and all other kinds of gowns.
The French women have often said,
In their polite manner, that they could
not understand why the American was
lacking in that finer feeling which au-
tomatically governs the choice of
clothes.
Did Not Always Change.
Now, whether or not the American
lacked the finer feeling or whether she
was conscious that custom produced
fashions, she continued to dress at ten
o'clock in the morning in the clothes
that she would wear until seven o'clock
In the evening. In truth, she did not
always change for dinner or the thea
ter. She went on through the entire
routine oe the day with its diversified
interests, its business appointments, Its
marketing, shopping and restaurant
lunching, its afternoon teas, weddings,
card parties, home dinners and the
play in a coat and skirt that should
only be worn, as the French put it, in a
public mob.
The American woman has always
held up to herself, and very earnestly,
that she was too busy woman to
change her clothes several times dur
ing the day. Let the women of the
European nations do what they would,
she thought, in social atmosphere
that was fostered by generations of
leisure and inactivity. Her own en-
vironment, she said. called for diff
ferent adjustment of clothes and life.
So, as a rule, she presented somber
appearance at all those social festivi-
ties that were intended to make wom-
en- gay as birds of paradise.
However, this manner of dressing
has changed. For several years a
woman has not depended on her tailor
ed suit to do the work for every hour
of the day.
This transition to better dressing has
come about through the domination Of
the one-piece frock. As soon as the
American could be divorced, or rather,
wedged away from her lifelong friend,
the tailored suit. she found that the
one-piece frock had its attractions.
She was willing to accept 1t in tall
ored style. but she began to play with
1t bit and make 1t suitable for her
leisure time. No sooner had she ac-

machinery. economizing labor and
doing the work in q less laborious
manner.
Much Of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with 4 saving in feed
value of stover By substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use Of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
Of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used In
many sections where 1t is now un-
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such
manner that they can be filled and
emptied with the least possible labor.
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted. corn II the
most valuable and indispensable
of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds a commanding position in
the agriculture of the United
States. Its vast. acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
Of agriculture, in its program is
sued early in February. which
re-emphasized and amplified the
food production program for
1918 published by the depart
ment in August. 1917, recon-
mended that an acreage Of corn
approximately equal to that Of
1917. which was the largest on
record, should be planted in
1918. with possibly slight reduc-
tions In certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119.755,OOO acres,
compared with 1O5. 5.672 600 acres.

with 107,0S3,0OO acres for 1912
and 1O6, 1877. 900 acres for 1915.

Protect Food In Lunches.

The precautions which must be
taken to keep lunches clean and safe
differ with circumstances. In dusty
seasons they should be wrapped par
ticularly well. In hot weather the use
Of soft, moist foods in which molds
and bacteria are most likely to grow
rapidly should be avoided. Although
chopped meat molstened with a dress

able in hot weather than slices of meat,
peanut butter. or other foods less lia-

servation and economy, she sends US
the new afternoon gown which is wcrn
in the evening. 1t is made of thin ma

or short, and 1t has half-decolletage.
1t has indefinite variety, often 1t blazes

worn for every indoor occasion from
four in the afternoon until midnight.
Such frock saves the buying Of
many shoes. 1t is stroke of that
Illuminating inspiration that the
French have when they put their
minds to economy. There is nothing
drab or mournful about French econ

even those who do not stare economy
