F. C. Chandler, County Agent.
Have had calls from 20 fanners
jami farm wives in i he pa-t two
weeks lor information on Canning
I fresh meat for home use. Es"
pecially choice pork cuts and beef.
| * am now preparing a mimeograph
ed bullet in of ieceipts and diiee-
j lions for this operation which I
j will be glut to furnish to all iu-
|terested.
Meat may be canned either in
I tin or glass. I he chief points in
canning are thoroughly sterilizing
the product aud cans, sealing up
properly and processing. ProCe#
sing of meats requires a pressure
of 15 pounds which may be obtain
ed with any pressure cooker pio-
pcrly operated. Either glass or tin
may be pioeessed in this manner.
Tin is probably the most Conven
ient and surest method of canning
this product where the crimp
Sealers are used. In glass it is
rather a problem to get this seal
absolutely tight since the rubber
which is the sealing agent has a
tendency to disiutergrate under
the heat required. Also wheie
glass is used the steam cannot be
released when the processing is
completed thus necessitating Wail
ing for the Cooker to cool befote
opening.
No. 3 cans (quarts) may 1 c pur
chased With the tops for approxi
mately $4 ()0 per hundred which is
Slightly more than new rubbers
and tops will cost for glass.
The Board of Education realiz
ing the value of this work and
Seeking to encourage it has pur
chased a cooker and scaling ma
chine for use in demonstrations of
this nature. This service is avail
able to any one in the county
upon application cither to myself
Or to Mr. HoUScr.
Butchering Hogs
Have had several uallo fur infor
mation on butchering aud cutting
hogs for curing in the most ap
proved manner which saves more
of the in-.at in choicer cuts. Full
directions of these methods ate
given in the bulletin put out by
The Morton Salt company and dis
tributed by the Atlantic Ice and
Coal company. The calls that
have Come to my office for infor
mation have come from people
who have read these bulletins.
Enough interest has been evideuc
eu in this work so that a demon
stration of butchering, scalding
md cleaning followed by cuttiug
the meat into cuts is being plan
ned to be given the latter part of
this month Or just before hog
killing time. Mr. J. A. Davis has
kindly offered the facilities of the
cold storage plant for this demon
stration. We will have to have
several hogs f< r demonstrating
vith and if several people conven
lent to Houston Lake will furnish
the hogs for demonstrating with
(the meat to be turned back to
them after Cutting) also one bog
(live) for demonstrating butcher
ing. scalding and cleaning it will
facilitate matteis considerably in
putting on this demonstration.
Mr. 11. 13. Dunbar has also kindly
agreed to cooperate iu putting on
a demonstration at his farm where
an added feature of the fatm meat
curing box will also be shown.Mr.
Dunbar has one of the most eco
nomical boxes in the county and
one that cau be duplicated on any

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York was elected president
of the United States in Tuesday s

jority. The latest incomplete re
turns gave the Democratic nomi
nee 451 electoral votes to 67 for
President Hoover, wh i was seek
ing re-election on the Republican
ticket. Only 266 votes in t he
electoral college are necessary

Gov. Roosevelt carried the solid

York, gave him a majority of
800.000 votes over his Republican
opponent A large number of
states usually Republican were
found in the Democratic column
Tuesday night.
The states conceded to Presi
dent Hoover were Maine, Michi
gan. New Hampshire, Pennsyl
vania, and Vermont. Some of
the western states were in doubt
when latest returns were receiv

that his electoral vote would in

President Hoover conceded the
election of Gov. Roosevelt Tues
day night and prepared a con
gratulatory message to be sent

Repotts indicated that the So
cialist nominee for president,
Norman Thomas, had polled a
large vote but it had not been
tabulated.
In the gubernatorial contests,

overwhelming lead over his Re
publican opponent, James W. Ar
nold.

did the one for the repayment of
$25,000,000 bonded indebtedness
to the Counties they had ad

Another amendment which ap
pears to have lost was the pro

TAX-PRODUCED DEPRESSION
Said Colonel Robert R. McCor
mick recently: ‘‘The depression
here and throughout the world
has been caused by excessive tax
es, which have made industry and
Commerce unpiofitable, have pre
vented them from saving any sur
plus or raising new capital, arid
have thr> wn millions of men out
<f work.’’
Mr. Average Business Man will
ay "ami n" to that. The hand ot
the tax collector reaches as in-
-istently into the small concern as
he large one. It touches, rela
tively speaking, the millionaiic
and the clerk about alike, though
in the latter’s case the taxes an
paid indiiectlv. It falls on tin
small farm and the great induS'rj
with disastrous Consequences fot
each.

BIG HUNTING SEASON
OPENS IN GA. NOV. 15
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov 8- Next
'Tuesday. November 15, is a red
letter day for Georgia ni in rods,
because it marks the opening of
the big hunting season. The hun

of safety that he cun shoot most

'The General Assembly of 193l
amended the game laws to as to
provide that the season for shoot
ing quail, doer and wild turkey

waterfowl opened on November 1,

WH! DO WE HAVE FIRES?
LARGE REGISTRATION
Forty-seven million persons
qualified to vote in Tuesday’s
general election, exceeding by
four and a half million the record
shattering registration of 1928.
A state by state survey by the
Associated Press showed that ex-
Friends of Mrs. Henry Clark, of
Perry, will regrot to lea;n of hot
illness.
actly 46,965,230persons wereeligi
hie to participate in the 1932 presi
dential balloting. 'This compares
with a national registration of
42,387,254 for the Hoover-Smith
contest four years ago and was an
increase of 10,163,801 over the
actual vote cast in that peak year
of ballot marking.
This is a fair question—and one
that can b.* answered.
We don’t have fires because
i hey are unpreventablc, and are
in unfortunate Gut inescapable
phase of modern life. We have
them because we are careless, are
incompetent, put On a false form
d ‘sav ing’’ ahead of real econo
my, and because we refuse to learn
i few simple, easily understood
les.-ons.
Every year we piy out $500,-
OOO.OuO directly to the bill for fire.
I he indirect cost comes to several
times that figure Probably tho
total reaches two billion dollars or
more. At 1? ast eighty per cent of
it is unnecessary, that eighty per
cent could well bo t unned tho
“carelessness bill.” No other
civilized people allows so great a
waste in either dollars or lives.
We build homes cheaply, and
b lo v the standard of fire resis
tance reccm mended by authori
ties. We allow wiring to go un
tended and fail to have the heat
ing plant examined and overhaul-
id at regular intervals. We per-
rn t rubbish to accumulate in cor
ners. We put off “until tomor
row’' the repairing of family
chimneys. The inevitable result
is fi re.
Fire can be controlled. Its cost
can be cut to a fraction of the
present figure. Almost all of tho
ten thousand lives lost annually
can be saved. The way to do that
is simply by unremitting vigilance
on the part of each of us.—Indus
