In the milling processes in which rice is prepared for human food, about 10 per cent of the protein and about 85 per cent of the oil in the rice is lost. This loss is in the rice bran and the rice polish. These two substances heretofore thrown away are now used in the preparation of highly efficient stock feeds. The hulls remained as the only part of the plant for which no use was found and even that is now put to play, being used for fuel in the mills handling the rice products. This use of the hulls for fuel parallels the efficiency of the bowling #n factory which derives all its fuel from the chips and turnings of maple obtained when the blocks of wood are reduced to the shape and size of a bowling pin. [T New Foe to Fight Sugar-Cane Borer NEW and, experts hope, highly powerful foe of the sugar-cane borer has been intro- duced In the sugar plantations of Louisiana by the Federal Department of Agriculture, but the importation of the new ally in the war on the borer is attended with all the fuss and feathers of a regal visit. new insect is a wasp, discovered in Peru The by H. A Jaynes of the Bureau of Entomology, The first shipments brought to this country were almost 8 total loss, as the twenty-one-day trip by boat was too strenuous for the wasps and few survived. Resort to air made some improvement, but even then the mortality was about 70 per cent. Since those first air ship- ments, however, & new-type carrying crate has been worked out which by means of special fountains provides drinking water for the insects continuously during the trip and sugar con- tainers which supply food. At the present time about 63,000 of the wasps have been turned loose upon the borers. A fly, too, has been added to the Govern- ment’s allies, about 650,000 of a type found in Peru having joined with the wasps in the war on the sugar-cane pest. This season an intensive study is to be carried on in the section in which these two parasites are to be working in order to observe how far their activities are beneficial. Sure Sign “There must be a lot of golfers in this build- ing,” a man said the other day. “Why do you think so?” he was asked. “well, when I called ‘Four’ in the elevator the other morning, everybody ducked.” Two-Horse Farming TflEhoraemyaga.in come back to his own if the advice of the Department of Agriw culture is carried out by the Southern cotton farmer. The one-horse farmer is urged to step out and become a two-horse farmer. One of the big problems in the past in thd™ South has been the really serious privations which have followed in the wake of low prices for cotton. The shortage of money from the cash crop has been such that it has been diffi= cult te properly feed the family in some cases, The Federal experts want the farmers to turni from their one crop and with the aid of & second horse and two-horse equipment to raisg not only their cotton, but their food and anima} feed as well. By this means whatever cashl is derived from the cotton is available enw= tirely for other things than food. No maba ter how low the price of the cotton, the farmer and his family still could eat well if all the food were produced at home.
