FARM BUREAU CROPPING PLAN FOR ONE PLOW— Live Stock.—One mule, two cows, four hogs, (or one sow and litter,) twenty- five hensi Crops.—Corn, 1 Mt acres; oats, 5 acresi wheat, 2(4 acres; pens or velvet beans ill in corn and stubble, garden and truck, (including cane for syrup,) 1(4 nercs; cotton, 5 acres; peanuts, 5 acres; sweet potatoes, 2 acres; pasture, 5 acres, 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;, B. M. Drake, County Agent, 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.

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.
