CROP OF WILD RICE; . WORK DAY AND NIGHT

(By Associated Press) DULUTH, Minn.. Sept. 16. Mah-noh-min, the wild rice of the north, the Indian's grain for winter consumption, is ripe. Word has passed from buck to squaw or reverse that the crop this year is not a larpe one. Garnering must proceed rapidly for a hunery

horde of wild ducks shortly will de

scend on the vast rice fields and bat

ter down the rice to the last stem,

which they stip clean of kernels.

By day, and under the full moon, the

squaws are searching the lagoons of the muskeag country for rice beds.

Certain localities are known to have rice beds and other localities breed the rice over-year. Where no rice was found last year, it will be found this

year.

The crop is gathered today as It was

in the days of Hiawatha and of Min

nehaha. Canoes are piloted through

miles of rice beds. The rice is either

snipped off on the stem, or pulled from the water. Taken into the canoe, it is

diBlodged from the stem by beating with a paddle. Thu3 a canoe will be

loaded in a day. The hulling is done by heating the rice in its shell, and

while it is yet hot. it is treaded by

moccosined feet.

Wild rice is a tall aquatic perennial

grass, (Zizania aquitica). of North

America and of Asia. It has ample

panicles, bearing pistulate flowers

above and stamlnates below. Its grain, or seed, has been used by the Indians

for food since time out of memory.

Wild rice is for sale at principal grocery stores in the North. The rice is bought at tradinsr nosts direct from

I Indians, or from traders who get . it . ! f Tn! rrrv- I- .1

the rice is so tedious that few white people attempt it.
