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.

EDNA KING MANDEVILLE
Which flowers are easy to
grow? 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

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.

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.
