According to the usual practice rec
commended, seed should be kept dry
from harvest to planting time, but the
opposite condition is desirable in pre-
serving the viability of Wild rice, says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture in Circular 229. Wild Rice.
prepared by Charles e. Chambliss.
For this reason, in buying seed 1t is
important that the purchase be made
from dealer who guarantees that 1t
has been stored under the right con-
ditions.
Use for Wild Rice.

boats or canoes and spreading the seed
over the water by handfuls. Mature
seed is heavy and will sink immedi-
ately to the bottom and become i'm
bedded In the mud. Spring sowing Is
the most satisfactory as seed that Is
sown in the fall Is likely to be con-
sumed by hungry ducks or geese.
The natural range of wild rice In
North America extends southwark
from the northern end of Lake Winni-
peg to the Gulf Of Mexico and eastward
to the Atlantic coast throughout these
latitudes. In the northern part of this
region 1t grows mainly in shallow lakes
and sluggish streams. while in the
eastern and southern part of the Unit
ed States 1t thrives above brackish wa
ter on low marshes bordering most Of
the tidal rivers.
Wild rice may be started In beds and
then transplanted. This method Of
getting stand started In a location
where the crop does not grow natural
ly,is described In the circular.
Manner Of Harvesting.
For centuries the Indians of Mime
sots, Wisconsin and Canada have har-
vested this crop by going out in canoes
and shaking or knocking the ripe seeds
into the boat. The white man, with all
his ingenuity, employs the same meth
cd and probably will continue to do so
until the plant is brought under culti-
walton. The Department of Agricul-
ture is investigating the possibilities in
the growing Of the plant and in the cir
cular reports that II is a good food and
that 1t has possible value as forage.
Very little Of the grain ever gets ON
the markets, as the Indians sell only
the small surplus they may have occa-
sionally.

tained by writing to the Department

BY w. II. ATKINS,

Prohibition, like politics. is produc-
ing strange bcdfellows. The brewers
have Joined in the war on home-brew-
ing. They say the Government is
losing revenue. Few will doubt that.
But get inside the big tent and listen
to the brewery champions. Some Of
the ablest in their ranks are in Wash
ington. Congress knows II, and as
the demands increase for some modt-
fication OF the Volstead law, Congress
Is weighing some OF the brewers
claims.
While Congress Is pulling its col
lective hair, trying to wiggle in and
around the bonus problem. the brew
ers step right up and point the way
out OF the dilemma. The brewers
have bombarded Congress with n
neat digest of the tax problem and
how to solve Il. The brewers say the
way out is to increase the alcoholic
content of cereal Notwithstanding
beverages TO pa per cent and there

BEFORE CABINET
MEETING TODAY
Harding's Return Finds Deluge
of Thick Problems to Be
Settled.

President Harding met with Z

several weeks.
An imposing array of bus
both foreign and domestic. hae
cumulated in the interim, an
ly every member of the Pr
official family went to the me
today with one or more "proA....
to be considered.
Chief among the matters of d
mestic policy Is the threatened COZ
strike. Secretary of Labor Davis
has prepared complete report for
the Cabinet on the impending coal
crisis, reporting the failure OF the
Administration to bring about a
joint conference between operators
and miners, under the terms OF the
1920 contract. What now will be
done is a question Of Cabinet de-
cision. Unless there Is a decided
change of front on the part of the
operators in the next ten days, Q
nationwide strike will become ef1
fective one week from Saturday.
Secretaries Weeks and DENLY both
took to the Cabinet meeting conn
plete reports on their conflicts with
Congress over the drastic slashinS
Of the army and navy, which Con-
gress seems bent upon.
Despite repeated warnings from
both Weeks and DENLY, backed up
by general officers of the army and
navy, Congressional economists are
stubbornly going ahead with plans
this week to cut the. army down to
lis, 200 men and the navy to $4,000
or less. DENLY and Weeks will ap1
peal TO the White House to curb
Congressional action.
The controversy with the allied
powers over the payment of tho
American bill of s241 ,000,0 900 for tho
upkeep of the American troops on

Home brewing of heavy ales

able counsel for the brewery inter
ests that by supplanting a more
wholesome and palatable cereal bev-
erage. like beer of higher alcoholic
content. but nevertheless non in
toxicating. a great deal of the coun-
try's industrial unrest would disap-
pear. They plead that labor would
be more contented and even more
efficient, citing the fact that labor
ers, instead of spending their hard
earned cash for hard liquor of 1ues-
tionable ingredients. would become
habituated to the cereal drinks. pu--
chased at nominal cost. II would be
a help in improving peoples sto-
rlachs as we'll as their pocketbooks.
at least that part of the people in
clined to indulge in stimulating
drinks, they argued.
What the brewers lay most stress
upon is the fact that the Govern
ment needs more revenue. Their
appeal COMES at a time when Con-
gress is sorely perplexed over finding
new methods of furnishlnS cevenue
without further adding 10 the tax
burdens of any particular class.
Cereal beverages, If raised in al
coholic contents to the 2& per cent
maximum, they argue, are capable
of turning a half-billion dollars year
into the Treasury, II rate Of 50
barrel is imposed, or rate which
would average twenty cents gal

Tax of "Wet Days"
Prior to prohibition heavy beers
and sales were produced at the rate
of 60,000,0 900 barrels a year. The
tax was 81 a barrel. A few other
special taxes were added, which In
creased the taxes slightly.
Now the tax actuaries are cited
as authority for the statement that
be manufacturer and sold as sub
stitutes for the varied connections
now paraded about through legal
and illegal ways. 100000, 900 barrels
would be produced annually in the
United States, and the taxes col
lectible from that source would be
as high as $500, 900, besides the
varied forms OF taxes collectible In
other ways, through taxes on deal
ers' permits, etc. 1t Is contended
that carbonated soft drinks, manu-
featured by compromising flavors.
sweetening and carbonic acid gas
have less physiological value than
would be the case of the cereal bev-
erage of a higher alcoholic content.
The drys, in the present COM
plexion Of Congress. are sufficiently
strong to defeat any such proposal.
The vets, however, have figured
that there is a growing sentiment
for modification-but not for repeal
and have begun a stiff fight to
add to their strength on both sides
Of Congress.
