approximately seven years to bring
the plantatio back to full bear
ing we can expect to pay high
prices for an indefinite period.
White pepper comes from the
same berry. but has had the outer
shell removed before grinding.
Since the whole pepper, known
as peppercorn, is such a scarce
commodity at present, very little
is used to make white pepper.
How are spices prepared for
the market? To find the answer
to that question. I went over to
Baltimore, Md, and spent a day
going through the largest spice
house in the world. I followed
the route spices take from the
time they are taken off the boats
until they are ready to make
their appearance on your kitchen
shelf.
They are shipped in huge woven
grass burlap bags, characteristic
of the faraway lands from
whence they come. After they
reach the plant. samples are TAX
en- of each new shipment and
sent to the laboratory to deter
mine the exact chemical makeup
and the quality. While different
spices are handled on different
types of machines. the process is
technically the same. First they
must be thoroughly cleaned to
remove the six little "stowaways
dirt, dust, f1bers, metal, stones
and string-that show up in a bag
Of spices. Great vacuum cleaners,
blowers. sifters, take out all the
sticks and stones. Magnetized
rollers remove anything metallic.
Nothing is left to chance-the raw
spice must be clean! Spices that
are to be ground go into storage
bins, thence to the mills to be
ground and reground, sifted and
resifted, until they are as fine and
smooth as cake -four. In fact, the
process is not unlike that used
in the milling of flour. Each
sitter has five layers of silk screen
or boiling cloth with 5000 meshes
to the square inch.
Scientists work constantly to
check and recheck on the raw
materials and the finished prod
uct. Three laboratory tests are
made on all spices before they
are pronounced ready for the con-
sumer. The first test is in the
raw stage, as I have already men,

toned. then they are tested after
the cleaning, and again when the
final grinding is completed and
they are ready for the assembly
line. With the exception of bay
leaves, stick cinnamon and whole
nutmeg, all other spices are
packed by automatic machines.
Sometimes it is difficult to draw
the line between spices and herbs.
The simplest definition is this:
Spices are the buds, leaves, seeds,
bark, roots and berries of various
aromatic, pungent plants used as
a flavoring for food. Herbs are
ANIMALS or perennials whose
leaves are usually the seasoning
element. Spices grow in trapical
or semitropical countries Where
as herbs grow only in the temper
ate zones. Generically speaking
the term spice refers to both
spices and herbs. If we separate
them into three classifications it
may be easier to keep them
straight in your mind. The aro-
matte spices include anise, cara
way. cardamom. cinnamon, cloves,

Like the genii in the bottle, the
exotic flavor of the East lies in
your spice can. waiting only for
the lifting of the lid.
Early history books are full of
tales of high adventure associated
with the voyages of the spice
ships. 1t wasn't gold but spices
from Arabia. the east coast of
Africa, Zanzibar. India and the
Spice Islands" that prompted
these early globe trotters to risk
their necks to find the coveted
treasures. Spices brought fabu-
lous prices during the Middle Ages
mainly due to the high cost of
transportation. 1t was considered
nothing for two years to elapse
between the time the spices were
gathered and the time they reached
their final destination. This plus
the many duties that were exacted
boosted the prices to exhorbitant
levels.
1t was common practice to in
clude spices in the value of land.
One such example is this excerpt
from a book of the 18th century,
Matilda de Chaucer is in the gift
of the King. and her land is worth
8 pounds. 2 shillings and pound
OF pepper and l pound of CHINA
mon and ounce of silk" 1t was
this desire to find shorter route
to the Spice Islands" and thus
reduce the prices that led Colum-
bus to discover America.
Pepper, one of the most familiar
OF all spices. has been used for just
about every purpose under the
sun. Even ransoms were paid with
pepper . when Alaric, King of
the Goths. captured Rome in 4O8
AID, he demanded 5000 pounds
of the precious stuff. In England
during the Middle Ages pepper
corn rents prevailed. In Holland
they used it in coarse, powdered
form to prevent damage from
moths when storing carpets and
furs. Today, pepper, while not
worth a kings ransom, brings a
high price. The destruction of
the pepper plantations in and
around Java during World War
II has caused worldwide short
age. About so per cent of the
worlds supply of pepper comes
from this area and since it takes

GOOD JOB, HOSPITAL AUXILIARY
NO.. 22s


QUIETLY N without fanfare the Christiansted Hos
pital Auxiliary has for many years carried on its program of
goodwill and kindness, part of which is through contributions
to the Hospital in the form of clothing, bed linen and equip
ment, all Of which are highly necessary. What is most impress
sive about this group is that it does its great work entirely
voluntarily, and seems to take pleasure in doing it, Under
these conditions it is therefore difficult to select any one par
ticular act or time to point out its work and give public credit.
TTWOULD BE good if the example and spirit Of the
the Hospital Auxiliary were perpetuated for then more chart
ties would benefit. In our society, where there is economic
freedom those who fortunately have, or use their opportuni-
ties to greater advantage and in SO doing enjoy more of the
world good things find the way to share some of these with
the less fortunate. Such an attitude if extended could find ex-
preston in great good to a large number.
IT WOULD be difficult to select any particular set Of
gifts to speak about at any particular time, for these have
been many and varied. All that can be done is to say a great
big thank you" to the Auxiliary on the behalf of the people
who have benefited and everyone else. The hospital is a pub
lie institution. Funds have to be appropriated for its function
ing, yet because of conditions that institution must forego
much that is needed. 1t can be seen that the work of the Auxi-
lary becames all the more important in light Of this situation.
HI HOSPITAL AUXILIARY is such a group that cuts
across all lines. Many ladies take time out from their own du-
ties to sew and plan and pitch in with their funds, and to de-
termine which of all the needs looms largest. This is in itself
quite a task, though on the surface it goes unnoticed. With
added help even greater things can be accomplished, and this
should be a challenge to those who have been thinking of
pitching in yet somehow never did get around ii,
THE CHRISTIANSTED Hospital Auxiliary has done a
good job, and for that everyone is highly appreciative, All that
can be said is that every good wish goes out to that group for
its continued effective program. Ladies, keep up the good
york.

Hay Harvest To
Begin Fore
Part OF July

Harvesting Of the finest wild
hay crop in many years will be in
full swing on the Blackfeet Res
ervation the fore part of July. An
abundance of moisture during the
lingering spring and t h e final
favorable warm weather during
the last several weeks has
wrought magic with the crop.
The harvest will continue I'M
til late fall.
Alfalfa already is being har-
vested, the small acreage, how
ever, not occasioning a great deal
of activity. Grain crops are in a
thriving state of growth. With
considerable acreage of winter
wheat having been replaced with
spring wheat because of adverse
weather conditions, the harvest
will not get under way until the
latter part of summer.
