The government department ex plained in its report that the “haz ard” existed because of the “inex perience of the growers planting their first crop, the expense of pro viding curing barns and other equip ment and the uncertainty that pres ent prices will be maintained.” It stated that production of bright to bacco had been extended into about thirty new counties. “While indications point to a substantial increase in the tobacco acreage this year, there seems to be little danger of loss to growers if the proper methods are used in cul tivating, harvesting and marketing l the product,” said Fred T.

II But every one knows that to be health ful and easily digested, biscuits must be carefully made and properly baked. "Happily my experience has shown || that it is almost impossible to make poor biscuits with self-rising flour,”, writes a housewife of Blythewood, S. C. "My biscuits in the North, made with ordinary flour, were invariably a fail ure, but I can truthfully say that when I use self-rising flour the reverse is the case. . . . Through a number of years’ experience I have found self rising flour to be all and more than its manufacturers claim it to be. ... II Its convenience and economy in saving both time and labor can hardly be over-estimated.” ■■ Because it simplifies the work of bak ing and practically eliminates failures, self-rising flour is the most economical 1 flour you can use. Aside from this, dietitians and food experts commend its healthful qualities. Next time you cook biscuits try self-rising flour. II You’ll never regret it! FOLLOW THESE FIVE RULES For Making Perfect I Biscuits with Self-Rising Flour.
