WASHINGTON, D. C.—When the
chefs and city fathers of New
Orleans, heard that President Roose
velt was planning a stopover in their
city, on the way to his fishing trip,
a far-away look crept into their eyes
—the same look that comes into the
eyes of a composer or poet when he
feels the portents of a masterpiece
ready to be born.
The great fish game may be
waiting for him in the Gulf, but in
New Orleans the Michael Angelos of
cooking were thumbing their recipes
in hopeful anticpation. And why not ?
Whenever Presidents of the United
States have visited the Crecent City
in the past, they kicked dietary dis
cretion out of the window and ate
and drank (and not what came out
of the well, either) those delectable
tid-bits only New Orleans knows how
to prepare, or mix. And did the
gentlemen enjoy doing it? Just listen
When Wiliam Howard Taft was
president-elect in 1907, the guest of
honor at a dinner given at the old
Grunewald Hotel. The chef, having
studied the famous Taft contour,
produced an eighteen-course dinner
that is still talked about when gour
mets get together. Mr. Taft enjoy
ed it so much that a little more than
six months later he came back for
more—partaking of several twenty
and more course dinners (wine and
Sazarac included).
When Calvin Coolidge was Presi
dent, there came a steady stream of
stories on the personal culinary lik
ings of the Vermont Yankee in the
White House. They were pictured
as running solely to pancakes, sau
sages and other homely foods. But
when Mr. Coolidge stopped in New
Orleans shortly after his second term
expired, Jules Alciatore of the fa
mous Antoine’s Restaurant, super
vised the first Coolidge dinner there,
and this is what the ex-President
tucked away:
One Sazarac cocktail —bayou oys
ters a la Rockefeller—a fine Chablis
(vintage 1921) —Pompano—Pommes
Souffle—Bordeaux (vintage 1916) —
Eggs a la Coolidge, filled with pate
de fois gras—snails Bordelaise—Par
tridge—-Chateau Campdeville( vin
tage 1916) hearts of artichoke
cheese souffle —Veve Cliquot— (vin
tage 1911) —and a cup of coffee! Af
ter packing away these few “tid-bits”
Mr. Coolidge autographed th? menu
with a steady hand!
And all that happened during th"
noble experiment.
New Orleans chefs would have
created new and even more wonderful
dishes for F. D. R. had he chosen t?
spend more than three hours in their
city. The President is hailed there
as the savior of fine cooking, for his
Administration’s repeal of the Eigh
teenth Amendment.
French chefs claim that great
cooking died during prohibition, (but
apparently not in New Orleans). Re
peal brought it back in style—for
fine wines and fin.? food go hand in
hand (we’re merely quoting the
chefs).
Did the President miss a bet?
We’ll say he did!

IN LOVING MEMORY.
On Monday evening, April 19t,h,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Edwards and God
saw fit to take from them their
darling baby Benni.e She was with
us only 22 sweet months. Her life
was short but sweet. God took her
out of this world of trials and troub
les to a home not made with hands,
high up in Heaven there to rest,
sweet rest, forever waiting for moth
er, father, sister and brothers to
> come home to God, where there is no
more sickness, sorrow or death, but
. all is love, peace and happiness for-
• ever more.
, Dear mother we know how impos
i sible it is to silence your grief with
- words, the heart pleads for utterance
■ in tears, let it speak thus. We bow
> in sorrow at the taking of your darl
ing one, feeling that while the ripen-
i ed fruit may be gathered, it seems
i hard that the bud should be taken,
' but in nature fruits fall and] so do
; blossoms. In the ways of kind na
’ ture this is perhaps best, and, in the
1 taking from our arms this darling j
t one, we will take the cross and bear
- it, knowing that the sweet bud will
; yet blossom in the Angel Land, where
t the spirit of this sweet child has so
» early flown.
’ Only a river between us,
> 'Parting our darling awhile.
- Only a rail divides us,
Hiding the light of her smile,
f Only a place that is vacant,
i When to our Savior we blend.
■ Only a steal that is missing,
, When our devotions we blend.
• Only a voice and a footstep,
Only a clasp of the hand,
■ Only a silver chord broken,
i Hushing each thrdb of the heart,
■ Only the leaves of winter,
■ Wither and die.
i God has transplanted its branches,
Gathered its fruits to the sky.
Written by one who loved her.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1937.

STUDY STATISTICS.
FARM INCOME UP.
GOOD GROWING SEASON.
ABOUT ELECTRICITY.
(From The News Washington Burna 1.) ,
Farmers and those whose livelihood
depend upon successful and profit
able agriculture should make it their
business to keep up with the statistics
that the government provides to show
the economic condition of agriculture
throughout the nation.
Os course, during the past few
years there has been a steady flow
of encouraging news as index figures
slowly moved up from depression
lows, but none of us should overlook
the basic fact that American agricul
tural output has been subjected to
governmental control and more rigor
ous drought control during the past
few years and that, for this reason,
prices have moved upward.
Where the prices of agricultural
products would be today if there had
been normal weather and no control
programs it would take a prophet to
guess. Where they will be two or
three years from now, if farmers
plant normal acreages and have nor
mal production, nobody can guess
with any certainty but unless new
factors enter the field you can put it
down that farm prices will start
downward.
The bureau of agricultural econom
ics, which provides much statistical
data on agriculture, reports that
farmers’ cash receipts for the first
quarter of this year show an increase
of 16 per cent, over the same period
of 1936.
The figures, released last week,
show that total cash income from
marketings during the first three
months of 1937 was $1,739,000,000
and that, in addition, farmers receiv
ed $207,000,000 in government pay
ments.
The south central states recorded
a gain of 45 per cent, over last year’s
first quarter and other regions ad
vanced from 3 to 28 per cent.
The regional gains ranged from 1
to 29 per cent. Comparable figures
for the 1936 and 1937 period, by re
gions, were reported as follows:
North Atlantic states, $168,990,0C0
and $190,853,000; east north central
states, $315,411,000 and $372,374,000;
west north central states, $360,371,-

$124,853,000 and $138,609,000; south
central, $199,809,000 and $258,422,000,
and western states, $196,376,000 and
$239,613,000.
With widespread April rains, con
tinuing into May, the 1937 growing
season is off to a much better start
than that of 1936, according to J. B.
Kineer, of the weather bureau.
Nearly everywhere from the Mis
sissippi Valley eastward the moisture
supply is ample. In fact, fields in
large' areas in the Ohio valley and
elsewhere have been too wet, so that
farm operations, especially oats
seeding and preparing the ground
for corn, have been delayed.
West of the Rocky mountains soil
moisture generally is sufficient, ex
cept in some southern areas.
Between these two moist sections
a belt extending from north to south,
long too dry, has had no relieving
lains this year. Rain is badly need
ed from eastern Montana southward
to the Rio Grande valley. April was
remarkably dry from Kansas south
ward, with less than one-third nor
mal rainfall in many places.
Dust storms have been frequent
over the drier parts of the western
plains. This dry area, however, is in
somewhat better shape so far as soil
moisture is concerned than in May,
1936.
The Rural Electrification adminis
tration is daily contributing to the
electrification of rural America and
every week sees a number of proj
ects move toward completion.
Farmers -everywhere should look
into the possibility of securing elec
tric service. Many co-operatives are
being formed to build lines to serve
rural areas and these can secure
needed funds from the REA if they
can provide proper assurances that
the customers on the route will use
the current.
Generally, it takes about a thou
sand dollars a mile to build the lines,
although in some instances the cost
has been less. From three to five cus
tomers per mile is the usual rule, al
though the number varies, of course.
Some of the co-operatives build
generating plants, others buy from
municipal plants and some purchase
power from existing utility plants.
