ON THE TRAIL OF PLAIN
 WHEAT

On the way to Monterey the other day we lamped e feed store on the outskirts of San Luis Obispo. Bringing the, CT, conveyance to a halt we wriggled out from behind the wheel (they feature ample head room and leg room in the latest models, but 1t seems each new model encroaches more and more on ones rib room) and walked stiffly into the store.
 It was like attending 6 fair. Never before came across such an attrac- tive showing of feeds in such a place. Not only was there plain wheat available but several grades
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-04

or varieties ct your pleasure. Nor was the man in charge apparently astonished when we confessed we wanted the wheat for our own use. On the contrary he was prepared for just such business - and here I think the feed store man offered an excellent example for other feed or seed store people. SmiIingly he turned from the bag of good look. ing wheat in which we were 1ondly playing and observed that he had something Q bit more suitable for kitchen use, and he showed us wheat in another bin all cleaned or winnowed ready for cooking or chewing, though we had already chewed some of the other ordinary stock after having blown the chat and straw out of handful.
 Fine. Wed take along a peck of that.
 How much would we like, in. quired the polite dealer.
 A peck would be enough--later if 1t proved satisfactory we might want larger quantities, but today.
 Certainly. About how much would we like. =. .
 And 50 on. Well, you may have guessed by now what the difnculty was.
 Actually the feed store man did not know how much e peck is. So ,, we kinda frightened up and bought only ten pounds - he seemed to know how much Q pound is. But the mans unfamiliarity with stan. dard weights and measures of North America cut his sales 50es -- now i figure out for yourself how much Q peck is. and if you can't find the answer that way you1l find It in Webster's international, or I'll save you the trouble. A peck is 6 quarters, one-fourth of c bushel, IS pounds of wheat, as wheat runs 60 pounds to the bushel.
 Anyway the clean wheat cost us 2 cents Q pound. f. 5a..
 Back home we ran c teacupful of it once through the old coffee grinder, cracking 1t coarsely. We cooked 1t for about half an hour with four or five teacupfuls of water and @ half teaspoonful of salt. But we don't care for plain DOT. ridge. So we poured the porridge into an oblong diDh just rinSed with cold water and got 1t in the ice box to cool. Next l.orning we sliced off thin slices, fried them in fat till brown, and had . breakfast than which there is nothing than whicher from either the gustatory or the sanatory viewpoint.
 Aside from educating the feed store people about weights and measures, there is, then, no great dificulty about procuring plain, wheat and preparing it for the table. Tn fact the whole business is fun - I can't see why 60 many city hicks make such 6 task of it. I

/. In 147 the legislature ordered a
rock and iron fence built around the
Capitol Square. The preamble to the
resolution read: Whereas the Pub

uninclosed and by reason thereof not
only is the square much abused. and
the shade growing thereon injured,

captain, logged a record of exploits

The disguised Moewe. flying q neu-

riers before they had chance to
aimed shells destroy wireless appa-
1atus that might enable the ship to
warn British squadrons. III most cases
when cargOes had been searched and

However, when few weeks be-
fore, the big freightcr Appam was
! TAKEN, it was sent into Norfolk, Va,
with q prize crew of one German Of
ficcr and 20 men. Among its pas
scngcrs made captive were the gov
| crnorS of two English colonies-Sierra
Leone and Nigeria, and there was q
| rich haul Of gold bullion; Gold was

| could appropriate. There was no room

! which would have been almost worth
their weight in gold if carried to Ger
