SHORTS AND MIDLLINGs

Household accounts on 23 Ohio
farms in 1943 show an average living
expense of $1,565 per family, of
which food costs $500, clothing, $148,
and health, 500. The average labor
income for these families was $3,040.
Lack of rain and excessive high
temperatures reduced prospects for
Ohio potatoes by nearly 100000 bush
els in July. The national potato crop
prospects were cut 14,000,000 bushels
in the same month, but the U. S. crop
still is expected to be better than the
annual average during 1933-42.

Believed to be one of the ten most

and maybe the most extensively
grown and widely used economic
plant known to man, the cassava is
another of the Western Hemisphere s
gifts to the world.
In spite of the fact that the word
cassaua means nothing to the aver
age North American, it stands for
the most widely spread of the plants
indigenous to our continent, with the
exception of corn, beans and pota-
toes.
The plant, believed by some tc
have been discovered by the Euro
peans during Columbus first voyage
is according to others, indigenous te

gray having described it scientifically
three centuries ago after visiting
Brazil.
1t is not known exactly when ant
how the cultivation of cassava spread
to tropical Latin America and from
there to the East Indies and Africa
but today the plant is grown il
practically every region of the worl'
within the limits of thirty degree
latitude north and south of tn

IaulUCd SuuIco Iviu IsvvU Ol Sao7as"
Plant First Found In South America

Tt is known in Latin America by
the name of mandioca (Brazil), yatca
caribbean countries) and variety
of other appellations, and is some
times referred to as the tapioca
plant or the sweet potato tree.
The cassava is a bushy shrub with
broad. shining hand-shaped leaves.
It's root development is remarkable,
the roots being very thick and
feshy and filled with a milky juice,
a sort of latex comparable to that
contained in the rubber plant and
the poinsettia which are of the same
family.
The long slender stems which rise
five TO nine feet above the ground
are in contrast with the large, swol-
len tubers, of which piece three
feet long often weighs as much as
thirty pounds.
Enormous crops of this plant are
produced with little or no attention
the planting of small pieces of th'
stem being all that is required fol
its preparation. There are two gen
eral classes of cassava, the bitter
and the sweet and it is from th'
former that the tapioca of com
merce is obtained.
The roots are cleaned and reduced
to a pulp by cutting and grinding
and the starch particles removed b!
repeated washings. This starch.

tapioca.
The sap of the bitter cassava
root contains poison (prussic acid)
and the root is therefore highly pois-
onous until exposure to heat dis
sipates this principle, while OH the
other hand the sweet cassava is per-
fectly innocuous and employed as a
table vegetable.
This essentially tropical or at most
sub-tropical product can only be
grown, however, in regions which
have a consistently warm climate,
even the altitude affecting it, in
asmuch as the temperature drops
with the elevation.
One of the most nutritious foods
known, cassava is eaten by all class
es of society, in some parts of Cen
tral or South America as often as
once or twice day.
To millions of people in tropical
countries this root is as common in
their diet as are potatoes to people
of the United States and European
countries.
If eaten whole, fresh roots are
used, peeled and usually cooked or
baked. Another and perhaps more
widely followed practice is to peel
the roots, then CRATE them into
meal, and cook by steaming.
In cooking, care is taken to allow
the steam to escape, as with it any
poisonous gas from the roots will
also pass.
Various dishes are prepared by
natives of the different tropical
countries, one of the most popular
being a sort of large dry pancake
eaten as bread.
In tapioca from cassava is known
! throughout the world as a light,
!. pleasant and digestible product very
much used for desserts and a thick
ner for soups.
In addition to it's uses as food,
the cassava is the source of a num-
Der of important industrial products
among which are laundry starch,
paper making, CLUES and dextrines,
furniture veneer and textiles.
The u. S. Bureau of Engraving
and Printing uses tapioca dextrin
exclusively for the adhesive on post
age stamps and envelopes, consump-
u tion amounting to between 100000
pounds and 100000 pounds per
year.
In the pre-war period most of the
n export production of cassava came
from the East Indies but the war
has naturally cut off the supply
from that part of the world
In spite of the fact that cassava
and it's derivatives have a tren-
mendous Importance in the daily diet
of millions of Latin Americans and
Y that it is indigenous to the Western
Hemisphere, this plant has with few
exceptions, only been exploited there
n for local consumption.
Brazil, Cuba and the Dominican
Republic, however, are exporters Of
the product on a small scale, and {
law has been promulgate in severa
2 countries, providing that bread anC
:, similar food stuffs made in the coun
: try should contain a certain per
= centage of cassava flour.
: : Lately an interest in the produc
tion of cassava has been shown b,
number of Latins American coun
l tries of the tropical and sub-tropica
zone, and everything leads to beIiev
4 that this will be in the future on
I of the important export products o
the Americas.
