Their Staff Of Life.

It is said that bread is the “staff

of life.” Yet nearly two billion Asians”

~—half the people of the world—have never seen a slice of bread, and might hesitate to eat it they did, For them the staff of life is rice, a grain so im- portant that in some places the word for rice is the same as that for food. According to the experts, 80 of 100 Asians spend nearly all their time growing’ and “distributing rice. Yet for all their efforts, the average: Asian

or 250 less than the theoretical min- imum necessary to get by. Mean-

while the world’s rice-eating popula-_

tion is increasing -by nearly a million hungry mouths a week. Thus it is estimated that it will be necessary to increase rice production by 10 mil- lion tons each year just to maintain thé present. bare subsistence level.

As noted in a review of this prob-

lem in the Milwaukee Journal, the

crux of it is that most Asian ° rice farmers still use the same primitive

The Rusty Old Axe.

Tt ts aad sort of fact that there are growing up on some On’ farms a generation of lads who snow not the art of splitting: wood. It once was learned by every rural boy almost as soon as he was able to swing an axe.

In rural Ontario there were two distinct wood splitting jobs. One was in the bush and the other in the woodshed. The lat- ter was the easiest but not al- ways. easy, especially when one

In the woods the trees. were sawn into stove lengths. The “task then was to split these large round lengths into chunks so they could be piled out there to weather and to dry. The wood thus split, in late winter, was left until hauled in for use the next winter. It was an improvi- t_who had to burn|

Large, awkward chunks tried ‘the pa- tience a housewife, and she let a lad iknow if they weren't split to her liking. It was in the -woodshed that the farm boy learned the art.
