SOUR CREAM IN RELATION
TO FARM BUREAU PRORAM—
The Farm Bureau cropping plan pro
vides for a total acreage of 28(4 acres
of cultivated crops, against 25.4 average
for the county per plow, according to
the Inst census. Still, when we take into
account the much smaller ncrongo In
cotton and tho substitution of less labo
rious crops, it is probable thnt one plow
can take care of an even Inrgor ncrenge.
With th'o prospect of a stoady market
for sour cream it would scorn that as
safe a why ns any of using this acreage
would bo to increase the ncreugc of corn
and oats—with which wo are already
familiar—and proportionally to increase
tho dairy cows and hogs through which
to market thorn, Tho sour croum busi
ness docs not offer any got-rlch-quiek
scheme, but ns a market for tho crops
we enu grow on those extra ncroH it has
decided recommendations. It enables us
to grow crops with which wo are already
familiar by affording us a dependable
market for them; it assuros the improvo-
mont of tho lund by the larger proportion
of it -which will go into legume crops
each year, and on account of tho mnnuro
from the ndditionnl livestock,. and it
brings in money all tho yonr round and
so substitutes cash .for credit, to say
nothing of saving fertilizer bills. Nor
do you have to wait for a general move
ment td got into tlilB business, If you
have tho cows and tho feed, either by
yourself or.with a few of your neigh
hors, you enn begin to ship cream and
bo gottlng your cream chocks in a few
weeks. But ill order to bo profitable,
tho greator pnrt if not nil the feed must
be raised, on your jjown farm. If you
have plenty of liny and roughage mul
plenty of corn and velvet beans, you
might afford to buy some cotton seed
menl or other concentrate, but tho best
rule is to have homu-rnised food to soli
through your cows. Then you must lmvo
good producing cows. There are cows
that do not pay their board, ami in go
ing into the sum; cream business you
should bo sure (hilt, yon liavn cows that
will product) butter fat worth more than
the feed you give then;,

CURING MEAT ON THE FARM—
Georgia Kxpqrljnonfl Station Bulletin.
Ilomo-earing of pork Is an old prac
tice which nearly went out of style, but
It is rapidly becoming popular again,
Since hogs may lie rnisod and the meat
cured far -much less tlinn the coHt of
purchased meat, every farmer should pro
duce the,pork consumed on his farm.
lings intended for slaughter should
not bn kept on full feed lip to tho time
of killing. Tt Is bettor to hold them en
tirely without feed for 24 hours prior to
thnt time, but 'they should have access
to plenty of fresh water. This treat
ment promotes the diminution of waste
products and fncilitntcB tho dressing of
the carcass.
After the animal is dressed the carcass
should be cooled rapidly, but not allow
ed to freeze. The desirable temperature
for cooling' moat is from 34 to 40 de
grees Fnronhoit. it is usually best to
kill in the afternoon nnd nllow the car-
cuhb to cool over night. When the enr-
Cass is thoroughly cooled it is ready to
bo cut up and cured.
Two processes of megt-curing iH rec
ognized—dry curing ami brine curing—
both of which give satisfactory results.
Irrespective of tho curing method used,
it is advisable before eurlng to rub the
surface of tiio meat witli line snlt and
nllow it to drain, flesh side down, for
from 6 to 12 hours. The process of com
mon dry salting is woll understood
Many formers never use any other
method, but it is widely believed that
bettor, mont can be made by curing in
brine. A brine solution which 1ms
proved very satisfactory nnd is recom
mended by the U. 8. Department of
Agriculture is ns follows:
For each 100 piunds of meat use 10
His. salt, 2(4 lbs. sugar or 4 lbs. molasses,
2 oz. snltpotcr, 4(4 gals, water. Tho
brine mixture should lie made by boiling
all of tho ingredients together 'for ono
hour. This should bo done tho day be-
foro it is to bo used, ns it must bo per
fectly coo! when applied to tho moat.
Any kind of a tight, clean vessel, ns an
earthen jar or barrel, mny be used fox.
holding the meat ami Inline. Place the
hams on tho bottom of tho container,
shoulders lioxt, bucon sidos, and small
cuts on top. Cover with boards weighted
with stones or bricks, ns iron rusts and
stains the ment. Pour the brine in, and
bo suro thnt it comos nn inch or two
above tho top pieces of moat, The small
pieces of meat should remain in the
lirino 30 or 40 iloysf nud tho Inrgor
pieces 40 to 50 days. To bo sure that
meat is curing properly it should bo
taken out every suvon days,’ examined
nnd placed back nH at llrat. If tho brine
becomes ropy, take out all of the meat,
wash it and tho container thoroughly,
make now brino and place it ns before.
When each piece of moat lias received
the propor cure, romovo it from the brine
Hml wash it in lukewarm water. String
it ami hang in the •smoko-houso. Tho
temperature of the smoke-house should
not exceed 120 degrees Fnrcnholt. Meat
Jhoulil lie smoked until it has a good
chcHtnut color. Smoking helps to pre-
servo meat, and gives a desirable flavor
If smoked properly. Hnrdwood should
lie used for smoke instead of soft wood.
Resinous woods sltpuld never be used, as
they givo an .objectionable flavor to the
meat.
A PARALLEL CASE—
From Cotton Nows.
Dowq In Enterprise, Aim, in the henrt
of the 'business section of the.iittlo city,
is n beautiful bronze fountain that bears
this inscription—
•‘in Profound Appreciation
of tlin Boll Weevil,
And Wlmt It Hus Done ns The Herald
of Prosperity,
Tills Monument Is Erected
* By the Citizens of
Enterprise, Coffee County, Ala.”
It is i» monument to the enemy—to the
enemy that conquered and thou pointed
tho way toward new prosperity ami new
hopes. Let one of the leading fnrniers of
this Alabama county toll in his own
wbrds tho story of the boll weevil, and
this striking memorial to it:
“Before tho summer of 1935, when
the boll weevil first made its appearance
ill opr district, the cotton crop of Ooffoo
county avornged around 30,000 bales.
Cotton was king in every souse of the
word. Wc fnrmorB kne.w nothing about'
farming except to plant cotton, 'and more
cotton. Wc ilidil’t even raise sufficient
corn or cunc or potatoes or oats for our
own use. Wc wore strictly one-crop far
mers. In-1916 nnd 3917 the boll weevil
cut our crop to less than half, and the-
wholo country was wiped off its fcot.
Every jnethoil evor conceived to fight the,
post was tried, ,nnil all failed. Then
slowly wo began responding to the advice
to cut our cotton ncrongo way down, and
take up crop diversification. Little by
little It wob .drilled into us that we must
plant ponnuts nnd qjvn and sugarcane,
mul raise hogs, nnd cattle. The boll
weevil simply compelled us to do this—
nnd olfhost immediately the miracle hap
pened, In 1918 Coffee county broke (ho
world’s record for the cultivation of pea
nuts. Thnt yonr wo raised morp thaa
5,000,000 bushels anil the, whole country
was rolling in prosperity. In those first
years after tho boll weovll taught us to
farm correctly our peanuts nnd hogs
brought us in fotir times as much money
us wo over realized from our banner
cotton crops. The boll weevil did . it,
nnd so, . to show our appreciation, wo
erected this monument to this God-sent
pest that stung us out of our inertia nnd
ignorance.”,
A lot of us ihould l'eol safer if there
wore not so many safe-blowers around.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. C. S. MARTIN
On Oot. 26, 1921, just ns the buii’s rays
were failing in the distant west, the
Death Angel visited the homo of Rev.
C. S. Martin, at Newborn, On., and bore
away the devoted wife and gentle mother.
Beautiful characters like hers are not
found everywhere, nnd when we realize
the nodd there was -of her in the home we
runiiot Understand- why , site was tnkcfi.
In girlhood she consecrated her life to
God and became a member of tho Meth
odist church at Hagan, Qn. At the* age
of 16 she entered the G. N. &. I. College,
at MllUdgeviile, where she spent ono
yonr, graduating nfterwnrds from the
Brennu Conservatory of Music, at
Gainesville. Upon leaving college she
engaged actively in church npd Sumlny-
scliooi work in her home town. In May,
1909, she was happily married to Riiv.
C. S. Martin, formerly of Turin, anil up
to the time of her dentil wns .devoted
to her family. She lived for her husband,
children mul friends. A. woman of fine
intellect and exalted spirituality, slio nas
left to hor children' a rich inheritance,
. Her place in tho homo cun never be till
ed : her smiling face radiated sunshine
wherever she went; hor gentle Bpirit and
ploasing personality captivated all who
came in contact with her.
But she is gone I It is hard to give
her ifp, and to realize thnt rve shall see
her no more on earth, yet wo cannot for
get the sweet communion had with hor
in bygono days, and may the good influ
ence that sho has left inspire us to high
er and better living,
May God help and comfort the lonely
husband in his sorrow, and may hor beau
tiful example anil Ipvoly spirit ever be
a benediction to her children.

earth gives up its dead. Sister Chandler

A TRIBUTE.
On Nov. 17, 1921, the gentle spirit of
Mrs. Abbic HopkinB Brittain was released
from its frail earthly prison and entered
the eternal home. We realize how futile
are words at a time like this, heuee our
hearts -are bowed in mute anguish,
for we realize the pain of her ab
sence. Oh, how we miss her I How sail
tho thought that- wo shall never see her
again in this world I Yet wo must not
murmur or complain, because God doeth
nil things well. Although a great suf
ferer for long, weary months, she never
complained, but seemed cheerful and
bore her affliction with the patience and
fortitude of a true Christian,' and we be
lieve that our loss is heaven’s’gain. When
the summons 'came her ransomed spivit
entered into everlasting life. Ah, whp
will say there was not joy among the an
gels as she entered the Golden Gate, to
go out no more forever?
Mrs. Brittain leaves a sorrowing hus
band and four children (three daughters
and a son) to mourn their loss, to-whom
we tender our profound sympathy. May
God in His infinite mercy pour balm
into their wounded, bleeding hearts.

MONDA V,
The date for the January sale being the 2nd., it was found practially impossible to arrange for
a really good li&'of bargains for that date, on account of the fact that merchants are busy ju^l at
the fir^t of the year in making their inventories, etc. Rather than change the day of the sale until
some time later in the month, the members of the Advertising Club decided to omit the January
sale entirely, and concentrate every effort to make the February sale the be^t yet held in Newnan.
• ■ * *
The Newnan Advertising Club will spare no effort to have the mo^l attractive li^t of bargains
ever presented available to the people in this section, at the sale on February 6th., and you are
urged to come to the sale if possible.
