Rice Enrichment Standard Announced by Food-Drug Washington, D. C. Con sumers now get more nourish ing foods when they buy "en riched"xfice as the result of an action announced by the Food and Drug administration. Although several brands of nutritionally improved rice were sold previously, few if any came up to the level re quired by a new standard which FDA has just put into effect the administration says. Also under this standard the label must specify the amounts of enriching ingredients ad ded, the proportion of the min imum daily requirement that each ingredient supplies and how to cook the rice to avoid losing vitamins. The FDA said its action is part of the nation's food en richment program and will benefit particularly people in areas where rice is an impor tant part of the diet. The en riching, ingredients, recom mended by nutritionists, are the same as those required for other enriched cereal prod ucts Under the standard, each pound, of milted rice that is labeled "enriched" must con tain 2 to 4 milligrams of thia mine (Vitamin Bl), 16 to 32 milligrams of niacin, and 13 to 26 milligrams of iron. Four ounces of milled rice make about 2 cupfuls of cooked rice supplying 50 per cent of the minimum daily requirements for thiamine, 40 per cent for niacin and 32 per cent for iron. The standard also requires the additional of riboflavin (Vitamin B2). This require ment, however, has not been put into effect because of ob jections from the rice milling industry. Industry representa tives acknowledged the nutri tional value of riboflavin but said that under one enrich ment process riboflavin gives the rice a yellow color, which they felt some consumers might not like. In accordance with requirements of the law, FDA will hold a public hear ing later on the riboflavin question. Two Processes The consumer will have the choice of rice enriched by two processes. One makes the prod ust resistant to loss of vita mins when it is rinsed before cooking, FDA explained. Some of the rice kernels in each package are coated with the vitamins. These kernels have a golden yellow color when riboflavin is added. The stand ard sets forth a test for de termining that this kind of rice is "rinse resistant." In another process, powder containing the enriching in gredients is dusted on the rice. This rice is not changed ap preciably in color by addition of riboflavin, but may be sub ject to loss of vitamins in rins ing. To protect the homemak er against such loss, the label must include the caution: "Do not rinse before or drain after cooking." However, pre-cooked rice already labeled with directions to avoid washing or draining off enriching in gredients need not carry the caution statement. . The rice packer may in ad dition enrich his product with Vitamin D, or calcium, or both. If he chooses to do so, each pound of his product must contain 250 to 1,000 U. S.P. units of Vitamin D, or 500 to 1,000 milligrams of calcium, and be so labeled. - .

I do believe that ques tion is the one most frequent ly asked me by my friends and neighbors -especially those who are somewhat less than expert in the garden. Fortunately for me, no ques tion about gardening is easier to answer, for there are num erous varieties that may be grown without difficulty. As a matter of fact, once these seeds are in the soil, it's really difficult to keep them from growing. If the weather is warm and the ground moist, the tiny seedlings will be sticking their heads out of the ground in forty-eight, hours. As one famous seed house jokingly puts it, "Plant Triple-Tested Flower Seeds and Jump Aside!" One easy-to-grow variety is zinnia. Plant the seeds one eighth of an inch deep (no more!) when the ground is warm. Keep them moist and watch them grow. A, tip on zinnia culture: Plant zinnias where you want them to grow. Thin them out. But avoid transplanting, as this tends to retard them. Of the scores of wonderful zinnia va rieties, I especially recom mend three the "cut and come again" strain, which is not lilliput, not giant, but just right for cutting; giant hybrid, with its graceful curved petals and lovely col ors; and polka, a giant strain of the smaller peppermint stick with many unusual col ors, bi-colors, combinations (red and white, pink and yel low, pink and red) and many others. Number Two For number two on any easy-to-grow list I'd choose Yakima Players Guests of Club Mr. and Mrs. George Yoxall of Yakima, Wash., were guest players for a session of Med ford Duplicate Bridge club held April 15. Mrs. Yoxall and Don Rever man as partner, scored first in the north-south positions, with 141 points. Mr. Yoxall and George Rode were first in the east-west position with a score of 121. Second place winners in the north-south play were Mrs. Fred Purdin and Mrs. Frank Baker, 117; third place was won by Mr.and Mrs. Al Gilhousen, who scored 105 point, and fourth went to Mrs. R. J. Conroy and Mrs. W. W. Stevenson, 10014. Placing second in the east-west plays were Mrs. Berg Marten and Roy Pruitt, who scored 103VS; third place went to Mrs. H. J. Boyd and Dr. Elliott Harlow, 10212; and fourth was won by Dick House and Harley McMasters with 95 lA. nasturtiums. The large seeds are easy to handle, but don't plant them too deep and be sure the ground is warm! There have been many inter esting developments in the nesturtium family since child hood days when you probably planted the old - fashioned single varieties. Of course, the trailing and dwarf singles are still popular, but now they have been joined by such de lightful semi-doubles as the gleam hybrids (trailing) and gem (dwarfs), in all colors. Among the separate colors I especially recommend Ma hogany Gem for a really dark -ed, and Cherry Rose for an attractive pink. Golden Gleam, the original semi -double, is still the most popu lar of the yellows. ' Third of the easy-to-grow varieties would be cosmos. Use as a background and for. cut flowers. An excellent mixture is the Sensation strain, and Radiance is an attractive bi- Then and Now Theme of Show "Then and Now" will, be the theme for a style show to be given at' a meeting of Chapter AA, PEO, Wednes day, April 23 when Mrs. Otto Frohnmayer will be hostess at her home at 1656 Spring Street. Luncheon will be served at 12:30 p.m. Mrs. C. W. Lemery and Mrs. R. , J. Cunningham will ar range the style show. Assist ing Mrs. Frohnmayer will be Mrs. Gordon Hudson and Mrs. John Dellenback. Gardeners Plan Show Saturday Medford Garden club will hold a judged flower show "Spring Harmony," at the Red Cross building, 60 Haw thorne avenue, Saturday, April 26, from 12 noon till 8:30 p.m. Non-members are welcome t6 enter.

The fully double Peace grows more com pactly and not as tall as most scabiosa, while Rosette intro duces a. beautiful new shade, deep rose heavily suffused with Salmon. pink outer petals. Indoors, un der artificial light, Radiance takes on a rich, velvety ap pearance that makes it espe cially appealing for room de coration. A striking color com bination of orange-scarlet and yellow makes Fiesta a truly different cosmos. Fiesta thrives in hot weather blooms freely over a period, and lasts long after cutting. Marigolds Good Fourth, we cannot over look Marigolds. This variety does well even in poor soil that does not receive much water. In fact, too much water and rich soil often tend to pro duce an abundance of foliage at the expense of the blossoms. Crackerjack, orient the larg est mangolds grown, produces flowers measuring five inches across. The huge, ruffled, tightly-petaled peony-flowered blooms extend beyond the fol iage to give quite a showy ef fect. I highly recommend the Golden Pygmy, a double French dwarf strain, for low borders, miniature bouquets', or cultivation in small pots. Though the mature flowers are pure yellow, the younger blossoms are marked in ma hogany at the base of the petals, producing a delightful ly contrasting sparkle. The Harmony strain is a crested center type, with bright gold en centers and the mahogany guard petals. The flowers are medium size and bloom earlier than most French marigolds. Our fifth easy-growing var iety is scabiosa, its rather un fortunate name may have caused many ' gardeners to overlook it, and you can call it pincushion flower or mourn ing bride, and has the virtues of compact, uniform growth habits, profuse blooms, and long stems, making it ideal for cutting. Blue Cockade pro duces the outstanding color of this variety, a pure deep azure-blue without a trace of rose. No other annual has the same wonderful color. The flower itself is so large and deep as to be almost conical in shape. The giant hybrids strain pro- Pansy Dainty For the sixth of bur easy growing varieties I have chos en the everpopular and dainty pansy, one of my personal favorites. Although pansies are a perennial variety, they bloom late the first year. The second year, however, they ,bIoom early in the spring. They thrive best" in cool and partially shady locations, and if picked frequently the plants will continue to blossom over a long period. Swiss Giants MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 20, 19S8 9A is one of the finest strains of pansy, and is often selected by florists who must have the very best in size and colors for their own gardens. One lead ing seed company puts out a special mixture of pansies which is slightly less expen sive than Swiss Giants and produces flowers that are just about as large and "color ful. ! Try any of these six, and you'll learn that gardening can be easy as well as gratifying. Open 24 Hours Every Day SELF SERVICE 20c per 8 lb. Washer Load Drying 1c Per Minute COIN OPERATED LI 0 516 W.
