Cold of Conquistadores
)METIMES nature laughs
at those who seek metals in
the ground to make them
jßßfll rich, and ignore the bounty
of the earth which, with a
little care, is constantly renewing
itself, to produce wealth for patient
cultivators of the soil, and foods for
millions.
So it was with those sons of
Spain who came to the new world
for gold, and who, when they failed
to find it, went home in disgust
neglecting the unrivalled opportun
ities for riches through Colonization.
The Conquistadores wanted to get
rich quick, and, when they didn’t,
many of them pulled up baby pine
apple slips because they had grown
to love the luscious tropical fruit
which they could not get in their
own country, and went home to try
and grow that fruit under glass, as
it does not grow easily in a tem
perate climate.
Had they remained there and
seized this priceless opportunity,
today’s thriving pineapple industry
might have been theirs. For a ripe
pineapple is a luscious fruit, and
today’s Hawaiian pineapple industry
puts that ripe pineapple into a can,
so that it will reach its millions
of devotees with all of its natural
fruit sugar, its vitamins, its flavor
and its unusual appetite producing
taste.
The Taste’s The Thing

A HELP TO HAM
~ 1 \ M has always been a
popular meat in this country.
So much of it is consumed,
in fact, that dietitians have
made a special study of what
to serve with it in order to make
it more digestible. For ham is a
good food, rich in proteins, and if
you like to eat a lot of it, because of
its vigorous flavor, they want to be
sure that your digestive apparatus
can take care of it.
Of recent years, the porker, if he
enjoys being eaten, has found him
self indebted to Hawaii. A com
bination not only delectable but
dietetically correct has been found
in ham with Hawaiian pineapple.
This fruit is blessed with a diges
tive enzyme called bromelin which
acts powerfully on protein foods,
and makes them easier to digest.
That is the reason why pineapple
is served so often nowadays with
protein rich foods such as ham, pork,
lamb chops, beef steak and other
meats. Here are two recipes for its
use with ham and pork.

eating it ? Pineapple is a powerful
aid to digestion and helps one to
take care of rich protein foods.
That’s because pineapple contains
brotnelin. This fact makes this
golden fruit an excellent accompani
ment to meats. It’s the bromelin
in the pincapp'? served with meats
which aids in the digestion of them,
besides adding a tang and a taste
to them that everyone likes.
And now one may have all the
pineapple one wants. Increased pro
duction in the Hawaiian Islands has
not only made available a great deal
more pineapple than in previous
years, but the price of this tropical
fruit has been lowered so that the
housewife may use it as lavishly as
she pleases, with meats, to make
cakes, griddle cakes, waffles, decora-
tive gelatin salads and desserts,
frozen and otherwise, or she may
serve the golden wheel of pineapple
swimming in a delicious syrup,
nicely chilled, for an extra “ritzy”
dessert in every sense but price.
Here are some interesting ways
of serving pineapple with meat, and
some frozen desserts.
Pineapple With Meat
Pineapple Meat Calces: Add one
slightly beaten egg to one pound of
chopped round steak, and mix well.
Add one and one-fourth teaspoons
salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper,
one cup crushed pineapple and one
half cup crumbs. Form into round,
flat cakes and pan broil in a hot
skillet. Makes eighteen medium
cakes.
shallow baking pan, one slice for
each person to be served. On each
slice put a slice of canned Hawaiian
pineapple. In the hole of each slice
force two ripe olives and then hide
them by putting one tablespoon
brown sugar over each hole. Place
under broiler and brown well.
Pork Chops with Grilled Pine
apple : Fry one and one-half pounds
pork chops as usual, and remove to
a hot platter. Meanwhile drain one
13-ounce can of sliced Hawaiian
pineapple, place the slices on the
broiler rack and brown under flame
until golden on both sides. Place on
a platter with the chops. This re
cipe will serve six people, and so
plentiful is canned Hawaiian pine
apple this year that the price is
lower than usual, and a housewife
should be able to serve it anywhere
in this country at a cost of not more
than seventy cents. And that’s not
the only economy. Every experi
enced housewife will be sure to
save the syrup drained from the
can to use in her cold summer
drinks.*

namon. Boil three minutes, then
add pineapple slices and set aside
until cool. Drain and chill. Fry
enough chicken for eight in the

deep cup-shaped leaves. Place a
pineapple wheel in each and make a
rosette of mayonnaise in the center
of each. Serves eight, and provides
both the meat course and the salad.
Pineapple Desserts
Pineapple and Banana lee Cream:
Scald together three cups evaporated

A farm management survey in North
Carolina shows that cotton yields In
that state must be increased by at
least 100 pounds of lint an acre In
order to make a profit this year.
Of the growers’ records studied,
none who produced less than 340
pounds of lint made a profit, according
to farm management specialists at the
North Carolina State College.
Other tests In the state have shown
that one of the surest ways to Increase
cotton yields Is by side-dressing with
quick-acting nitrogen shortly after
chopping. A summary of a large num
ber of farm demonstrations indicates
Farm Leaders Urge
Step That Cuts Cost
Asked whether side-dressing will
pay this year, prominent farm leaders
in all parts of the South have gone on
record as regarding it as one of the
main essentials for making a profit
with cotton and corn under present
conditions.
Their replies to the question submit
ted by the Chilean Nitrate of Soda
Educational Bureau indicate that it
would be poor economy to omit aide
dressing on cotton and corn this sea
son. Such a step they say would mean
lower acre yields and higher unit costs
of a pound of cotton or a bushel of
corn. Since there has been a drastic
reduction in the fertilizer customarily
used at planting time, they feel it is
all the more important that these
crops be liberally side-dressed with
quick-acting nitrogen.
Dr. Clarence Poe, noted editor of
the Progressive Farmer, summarized
the whole question as follows:
“I believe every farmer should ar
range to do this (side-dress) this year
as usual, but so reduce his cotton acre
age that his total cotton production
will bo less than last year. Our cot
ton farmers can not find relief in low
production per acre. Wo must find it
in higher yields per aero but with
fewer acres given to cotton and more
acres in food, feed, and fertility
crops.”

This shows how Southern farmers
have outsmarted one of their worst
enemies, the boll weevil. Notice that
the cotton bolls have opened on the
lower branches of these stalks. They
are out of danger, safe from the rav
ages of the weevil.
In sections where weevil infestation
is heavy it is always difficult to ma
turo the bolls oil the upper half of
the ; talks. Growers have discovered,
however, that a full crop of cotton
may still bo grown by spacing the
stalks closer together, leaving two
stalks In each hill instead of one.
A side-dressing of quick-acting nitro
gen is used to speed up the devel
opment of the bolls. In this way two
stalks produce as large a crop in about
half the time as was formerly made
on one stalk durin, a longer unmo
lested fruiting period.
The side-dressing is applied after
chopping and before squaring begins.
The common application is 100 to 200
pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per
acre. This quick-acting plant food
speeds up the development of the boils

branches is safely out of danger when
the weevil puts In its appearance.
that a side-dressing of 160 to 200
pounds of Chilean nitrate has In
creased the yield by 116 pounds of
lint an acre. In other words, the side
dressing alone made up the difference
between the average yield and the
yield required to make a profit at pres
ent prices.
In demonstrations conducted in
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, an investment of $4.12
for side-dressing added $12.60 to the
value of the crop on each acre. The
average Increase in yield due to the
side-dressing was 126 pounds of lint
an acre.
Highest Corn Yield
Made by Dixie Farmer
Setting new records Is getting to be
a habit with W. Y. Thrash, well known
farmer of Walnut Grove, Miss.
Two years ago
he averaged on a
three - acre field
181 bushels of
shelled corn an
acre. Last year
he Increased tho
yield to 193 bu
shels. As far as
is known, these
records were the
highest yields
made in the coun
try during the
last two years.
Mr. Thrash
Sound farm practices account for
Mr. Thrash’s spectacular yields. An
Important feature of his program has
been two side-dressings with Chilean
nitrate of soda, the first when the corn
is knee-high and the second about
three weeks later, depending on the
season.
Both of Ills records were completed
In the Mississippi Better Corn Pro
duction Contest.
Heavy Cottca Yields'
Mean Low-Unit Costs
The rock bottom cost of producing
a pound of seed cotton last year was
probably 2)4 cents. At least, that is
what it cost the winners of cotton
growing contests in nine Southern
States.
An inspection of their records shows
that every one of the winners, 22 in
all, side-dressed their crop. The aver
age application was 200 pounds of
Chilean nitrate per acre, applied about
45 days after planting.
It is sometimes said that while tho
winners of crop-growing contests
rnako high acre yields, their cost of
unit production is abnormally high.
This is far from being the case. In
fact, as shown by these records, tho
cost of growing a pound of cotton was
reduced as tho yield was increased.
Corn Champions Show
How fco Reduce Costs
An analysis of the records mado in
tho state-wide corn growing contests
last year shows that all of tho winners
followed UlO same successful practices.
!-i fertilizing the crop, every one of the
champions in nine Southern States
side-dressed with Chilean nitrate when
the plants were knee-high. aver
age rate of application was 20a pounds
of “Soda” an acre.
The average yield of the group was
110 bushels an acre, pearly six times
the average yield in tho South, ihe
total cost of producing a bushel was,
29 cents. This figure included every
item of expense, such as seed, fer
tilizer, labor, and rent of land.
Here is proof that a hungry field of
cotton or corn will pay big dividends
for a side-dressing of quick-acting
nitrogen. In thousands of supervised
farm demonstrations, a dollar’s worth
of Chilean nitrate used on cotton re
turned $4.78 and on corn, $3.37. These
figures show that even a crop appre

Homes Without Discipline
Bring Us The Gangster
A timely and interesting editorial,
under the above heading, appeared
in a recent issue of the Liberty mag
azine. The editorinl is reproduced
in full below:
Undisciplined homes are a serious
menace to the future of this naitun.
There you will find the modern gang
ster in the mftking.
Parents often love their children
not wisely but too well, and they
neglect to properly control them.
They grow up like weeds in a gard
en, without the direction so essential
in character building.
When children are properly train
ed they usually acquire understand
ing ut maturity. They automati
cally give due consideration to other
people, and they are keenly imbued
with a proper respect for their par
ents. They do not refer to them
as the “old man’’ or tho “old wo
man.” They do not automatically
class them as out-of-date back num
bers.
Parental love is a dominating
force but it should be intelligently
directed. Too much coddling by
doting parents is an evil influence of
great import. Neither body nor
mind can properly develop under
such circumstances.
Loving parents naturally desire to
protect their children from hard
ship. They want them to taste to
the full the happiness they may have
missed. And they often make the
serious blunder of protecting them
from unpleasant experiences so im
portant in character building.
The school of hard knocks is said
to furnish a superior education.
And when a child is shielded from
difficulties of all kinds he cannot ac
quire complete development,
mentally or physically. He will laclc
the strength of character and vigor
of body so badly needed in the
struggle for life’s great prizes.
When the home has failed to furn
ish proper direction we find tempers
that cannot be controlled, dominat
ing guidance, determination to
have one’s way regardless of the
cost.
And such unbalanced characters
are heavily penalized for their mis
takes. Premature destruction is
their fate in most cases.
Faults of this nature should be
curbed and controlled in the home.
Mother love is often the source
of divine inspiration; but when it
is so extreme as to find excuses for
outbursts of temper, thoughtless
selfishness, and even cruelty, it be
comes a devestating force.
There are occasions in training
children when one has to be cruel to
be kind, when you have to correct
faults with a firm hand or suffer
from the sins of renagade offspring.
The modern American home has,
to a largo extent, cast aside the old
time discipline. Much of it should
come back. It is sorely needed.
A strong character, intelligently
guided, fervently imbued with hu
man sympathies, will find life won
derfully aluring.
But recklessness, selfishness, at
limes even thoughtless cruelty of
some undisciplined characters ulti
mately bring severe punishment.
It is mental defectives of this kind
greedy, sordid, mean—that are
crowding the underworld. They are
making us the most lawless nation
on the earth.
And it is the crumbling of the
discipline of the old-fashioned A
merican home that is to blame for
this chaotic situation.
This is a problem that begins in
the cradle. It is a problem, there
fore, for young mothers and young
fathers. Those whose children are
just entering upon life must give
these things thought —and give
them thought now.
’TWAS EVER THUS
The Madisonian has never wasted
much space pleading with its readers
to trade at home. If the wisdom of
such a practice does not impress
them they’ll pay no attention to a
newspaper item about it. The bulk
of The Madisonian’s income every
month comes from Detroit, New
York, Chicago and Atlanta, and ev
ery penny of it goes to Madison mer
chants. We have almost lived off
rich yellow fruit the past winter—
oranges, grape fruit and bananas —
and not a penny have we spent with
a truck, but always with the mer
chant who is here the year round to
supply our needs and to help to pay
the too-high costs of our city govern
ment. He comes first with us. And
yet there are printing orders going
out of town on which we are never
given a chance to bid. Things look
good far away and then it is always
easy to conjure up a real or imagin
ary grievance against the paper man.
