I, April 5, (Delayed). ~The cultivation of adlay (coix lacryma jobi) with the view to its utilization as a good grain, has been undertaken by the bureau of agri- culture and natural resources of the Philippine Islands. The grain, which is not unlike a wheat kernel, grows .wild in the Philippines, and other tropical countries and has been chief- 1y used for ornamental purposes such s necklaces and for ornamenting picture frames, although the inhabi- tants of Southern China are said to use the grain for food in small quan- titles. The bureau of agriculture has for some time been engaged in develop- ing the production of adlay at its experimental stations in various parts | of the islands and is now able to | announce that the grain may be grown in such quantities as to form a valuable food product. Th; ver- age yleld, the bureau says, be- tween 2,000 and 3,000 pounds to the ncre and the plant can be grown suc- cessfully, without irrigation, at all elevations from sea level to 3,000 feet above the sea. In a statement on the preparation of adlay for food, the bureau of agri- culture says: “As to the use of adlay for human food, more particularly as a wheat substitute, we have found that when hulled, it cooks up like rice and can be so eaten; cracked, it makes an excellent breakfast cereal; the meal mixed with two parts adlay, and one part wheat flour, bakes into light bis- cuits fully equal to graham biscuits. “It is worthy of note that flour imports into the Philippines are steadily Increasing, showing that the Fillpino is gradually changing his food habits and is beginning to eat wheat instead of rice. It is believed that adlay merits serious attention as a grain crop in the Philippines. With a greater protein and fat con- tent than either rice or corn it is a more complete human food than either of these grains.” PROF.
