A Good Mixer 



Rice has little individual taste and 

 takes on the flavor of the dish with 

 which it is combined. Whether freshly 

 cooked or left over, it can be mixed 

 with the other ingredients in bread 

 making in proportions varying from a 

 50-50 ratio in cornbread and a two-to- 

 one ratio in wheat bread down to the 

 few left-over grains that should be 

 dropped in somewhere. Don't be afraid 

 to use cooked rice in any kind of bread 

 you are making. One part rice flour to 

 three parts wheat flour makes a loaf of 

 fine texture similar in appearance to the 

 all-wheat loaf. Housekeepers, how- 

 ever, need not w^ait for rice flour to be 

 manufactured. All they have to do is 

 to combine one-third of steamed rice, 

 well mashed, with two-thirds of wheat 

 flour, made up according to the usual 

 formula for white bread. 



Cornmeal and Rice Waffles.— Mix to- 

 gether a half cup of cornmeal, a half 

 cup of flour, a cup of boiled rice, a 

 teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of baking 

 powder, tablespoon melted fat, two 

 beaten eggs and a pint of milk. Beat 

 well and bake in well greased hot waffle 

 irons. 



Rice Gems.— One egg, one cup milk, 

 one cup cold boiled rice, one cup flour 

 or three-fourths cup of cornmeal, one 

 teaspoon salt, one teaspoon baking pow- 

 der, one tablespoon of melted fat. Bake 

 in greased hot gem pans. 



Rice Batter Cakes.— Add to one cup 

 of cooked rice a beaten egg, one-half 

 cup of milk, one teaspoon fat, enough 

 flour to make it hold together and one- 

 half teaspoon baking powder. Cook on 

 griddle and serve with syrup.

A Cheerful Thought 

 Be cheerful. Mental depression checks 

 digestion. Poor digestion wastes food. 

 Wasted food helps the enemy. Cheer- 

 fulness is conservation. 



Don't kick over the meatless and 

 wheatless days. Thep are helping sup- 

 ply our Allies with food, which means 

 winning the war. 



It is better to go without a little

blight. In reality it was in all cases 

 easily traced to drouth. 



We first produced this disease experi- 

 mentally in 1913 at Wenatchee by sub- 

 jecting Winesaps to a sudden and severe 

 drouth following a period of normal 

 growth. The following year the dis- 

 ease was occasionally met with, but, as 

 many will recall, the year 1915 was 

 especially unfortunate for growers in 

 the Wenatchee country who were 

 served by a certain irrigation canal. It 

 had been allowed to get into such a 

 state of disrepair that frequent inter- 

 ruptions of wain- supply were encoun- 

 tered which varied from a day or two 

 to more than two weeks in extent. Nat- 

 urally orchards on shallow soil or very 

 open" soil suffered severe drouth and

IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST

IN THE UNITED STATES 



This condition is due largely to the State 

 and County investigations that have been 

 conducted there by Mr. W. H. Volck. 



Mr. Volck is now Director of Research 

 of the California Spray Chemical Co., and 

 his recommendations are of the highest 

 authority. 



Success in orcharding depends upon 

 the orchard management, and one of the 

 serious factors of orchard management 

 is spraying. Expert opinion can be 

 readily obtained by writing Mr. Volck. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead, 

 in competition with other 

 brands, received the highest 

 award ever conferred on sprays 

 at any exposition. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead 

 is a light, finely divided powder, 

 equally suitable for either wet 

 or dry application. The conven- 

 ience and ease of handling should 

 recommend it to any progressive 

 fruit grower; only half the 

 weight to haul; no rubbing or 

 or mixing; just put it in the tank 

 and start the agitator. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead 

 has been used in all the fruit 

 growing districts of the Pacific 

 Coast, and has an army of friends 

 who maintain that it is vastly su- 

 perior to any other lead arsenate. 



Successful control of pests 

 depends largely upon the sprays 

 used. You get the best results 

 when you use ORTHO DRY Ar 

 senate of Lead.
