The grain of the Acadia, Wataribune, Blue Rose, and Shinriki 

 varieties is not easily removed from the straw. Unless the separator 

 is fed very slowly when these varieties are thrashed, there is con- 

 siderable loss of grain. Similar care must be exercised for another 

 reason in thrashing Honduras and Evangeline. Their straw becomes 

 very brittle after drying in the shock and is not easily separated from 

 the grain when the thrasher is fed too rapidly. 



The culinary properties of the new varieties described in this 

 bulletin have a commercial value, and if properly exploited by the 

 trade they should greatly increase the demand for rice as a daily 

 article of food. The rice-eating people of this country, like the 

 orientals, eat this cereal mainly in the boiled state and show a prefer- 

 ence for those varieties whose kernels retain their general shape and 

 remain separate when prepared in this way. These varieties possess 

 this characteristic and for this reason should be more marketable 

 than those which form a pastelike mass when boiled.
