Cheap and Nutritious.

One of the cheapest and most nutritious foods of the tropics, and upon which the people of those regions thrive, are aroid tubers, or arolds, as they are generally called. aiA one of these tubers is already familiar to Americans as a decorative garden plant, called elephant’s ear. The agricultural department is now having these grown for food as well as garden ornament.
