EVER HAD q yen to go
T. treasure hunting? Well,
listen a moment while we tell
you about the biggest treasure
hunt Of all time-one beside
which the biggest find Of
buried booty would be small
potatoes, indeed.
Uncle Sans plant explorers,
who search the world for bet
ter plants to improve those
grown by the Nations farm
ers, are treasure hunting for
really big stakes. The multi
billion-dollar American soy
bean industry, the domestic
date industry and the i'm
portation Of the great grand
daddies of our mangos, avoca-
dos and nectarines are Just q
few of the prizes these en-
ployes Of the Department Of
Agriculture have played a key
role in winning for us.
Name any agricultural crop
you can think of-wheat,
corn, potatoes, melons, toma-
toes, spinach, fax, barley,
anything-and chances are
you'll pick a crop that has
been improved by Agricul-
lures explorers, with the CO.
operation of researchers at
agricultural stations and
schools around the Nation.
Headquarters for the work
Of the explorers Is at Belts
vile, where a bank" of the
worlds plant treasures Is
maintained. It probably
wouldn't be an overstatement
to say that the deposits"
there are of more practical
value than all the gold buried
in Fort Knox.
These deposits are seeds,
bulbs, tubers and cuttings
brought back by explorers
from around the globe. Many
also are sent by friendly for
eign countries, by botanists
and even missionaries. Exam
Piles are sweet potatoes from
Tinian Island, wheat strains
from Egypt, clover from Italy
Evening star., 1954-09-26

and orange trees from Brazil.
A decorative note might be
added by azaleas from Japan.
Every year from 5000 to
5000 new specimens arrive
for the bank at the plant in
spection house Of the Division
of Plant Exploration and In
PRODUCTION, 224 Twelfth street
S.W. There they're inspected,
catalogued. and-if necessary
put into quarantine. Citrus
fruits are automatically quar-
antined for three years. If
an unwanted insect pest or
plant blight were to hitch
hike unnoticed into the United
States, it could, freed from
the natural enemies which
control it, cause tens or hun
dreds Of millions of dollars
worth Of damage.
Plant exploring isn't easy.
The explorers sometimes en-
dure the roughest kind of
hardship in stride. Riding a
camel over the Cobb Desert to
seek plants that resist
drought, slogging through
swamps, hacking their way
through jungle, climbing
mountains all may be q part
of the job. However, things
are now easier than they used
to be, says DR.. w. e. White
house, senior horticulturist,
who has been in plant ex-
ploration work for Is years.
The invention of the jeep has
made getting to inaccessible
places much easier.
Although some new plants
have been introduced into the
United States which have
been marketed on their own
merits, these are rare. The
primary aim of the explorers
Is to discover plants that can
be crossbred with crops we
already have to make them
more resistant to disease.
As a typical example, DR..
Whitehouse points to the
blight which threatened Viz

One Of Amelia's six methods
for making rice pudding calls
for IA eggs. She advises the
houSekeeper to choose COW
rather than OK meat because,
says she, cows don't have to
work so hard and their flesh will
be more tender. She cautions eS-
pecially against buying veal that
has been hauled to market on
the back of a sweaty horse in
stead of being brought more Sc
dately in a carriage.
To make diet bread" an
othef mystery item, 166 years
ago you beat nine eggs and q
pound of sugar steadily for one
hour and a half. then added
flour and flavorings and beat
some more. Perhaps the exercise
Of making diet bread took of

The way to have green peas
for Christmas, according to Miss
Simmons. was to spread young
Shelled peas out on a cloth five
or six times doubled, dry them
well and put them in bottles
covered with mutton suet, then
tie on a bladder and leather and
put away in a cool place until
needed.
If Amelia's recipes aren't
enough evidence that these are
better times. then observe this
odd if hunger-making item OF
the same period, served by an

Our Children
BY Angelo Putri

There is, to my mind. a great
deal of nonsense talked about
the public schools.
Maybe it is on the principle
that. to appear better than
others. pull down the others.
Whatever the reason. the agita-
ton concerning the state of our
schools continues. No institution
is ever, or can ever hope to be
perfect, so the schools will have
weaknesses. They viii also have
strength
Whenever I hear the quality of
our schools belittled I think of
the army of our youth sent of
to a bleak foreign land to risk
their lives against the challenge
of a dangerous and wicked en-
envy of all they had been taught
to cherish, against all they had
lived for, and with, all their
hopeful years of growth. Any
thing wrong with them? Any
luck of courage, generosity. en-
durance, power, physical, mental,
spiritual? They have stood up
under all tests to add to the
pride and the honor of their
country. Most of them are the
product of the public schools of
for the pupils to carry their les
sons out into the world of prac-
tice and so illuminate their
learning and strengthen their in
telligence. Here we need the help
and cooperation of the labor
unions.
We could lengthen the schoo'
day, not by adding more work
to the already overworked teach
the United States. So much fol
that.
Effective Courses
We could do better, of course
We could make our courses more
effective by making it possible
ers. but by adding more teachers
This is sadly needed. We insist
that children and young people
attend school through adde's
cence, the height of their learn

thousands since Amelia Simmons
put out the first all-American
cook book 1855 years ago.
Amelia wrote her receipts"
with a quill pen and noted that
she had to look up many words
in her speller. In a short intro
duction she explained that she
was an orphan who wanted to
help other orphan girls learn
cooking so they could earn their
living.
If you used -four for any of the
Simmons recipes you had to dry
it out in the oven first and you
also dried the coarse, damp sugar
and then rolled it fine. The cook
of Amelia's time had to pound
and sift her spices and the au-
thor urged whipping eggs into a
"raging foam"
One of the Simmons dishes
had a mystery name-"sea pie" "
Here's how Amelia made sea pie:
work four pounds Of flour, one
and a half pounds Of butter into
q paste with some water and use
1t to line a pot and I'LL with split
pigeons, turkeys, mutton, sliced
pork, salt and pepper to taste.
Then add three pintS Of water
and stew for several hours. Per-
haps the pie got its name be-

DEAR MISS NISSEN: MY
husband Is 81 and ! an Al. He
doesn't have much education
and I just went through gram
mar school. We have i've chill
dren; the oldest two are married.
The children with us work after
school. I work and. Of course.
so does my husband. The chill
dren and I try to flx up the
home as well as possible, since
my husbands wages just about
cover our living expenses. The
youngsters want to have q nice
home and they willingly con-
tribute part Of their earnings to
new furniture, rugs, curtains.
etc. Thanks to their help, we
do have o very pleasant place.
However. my husband is an
noyed when we buy anything.
He says If he can't afford it we
should do without, and that
we're going over his head when
we buy something without COM
sulting him. I know that II we
asked him first. he'd make such

him to go along on Q shopping

tains for another room, or paper
for the walls. If you can break
his pride down bit. he'll be only
too happy to be . part Of the

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I'm a
girl Of 10, in love with a boy Is,
Because Of this age difference
foresee many difficulties. My
parents know Of it. but his folks
dos't. Do you think they should
be told?
Mabel d.
ANSWER: Concealing this bit
Of information will have far more
disastrous results than the re-
violation will bring forth. The
age difference is relatively un-
important, but the boys people
would be right in objecting to
deliberate deceit. You may have
to take an occasional bit Of kid
ding about your ages, but I'm
sure you can pass that on,
Actually, the important poi
