Plans to Be Made for
Coming School Term
Local trustees have been invi
ted tu meet with the County
Board o Education in Folkston
Tuesday, August 2, at 1:30 p, m.
for the purpose of adopting a gen
eral plan for the schools for the
fall and winter term. Heretofore
this plan has been adopted by the
County Board acting alone, after
have been made by interested
parties. The present plan is more
democratic in that it invites sug
gestions from any possible source
made to the superintendent prior
to the meeting of August 2; it
then permits of further sugges
tion or amendment before tinal
adoption: in addition local matte:s
are left for later plans to be adop
tee by the trustees. Teachers
have been assigned problems to
solve in eonnection with the ma
king of the plans. This is a de
parture in the making of school
plans and should appeal to those
who have suggestians as to how
the schools should be operated. |

ißacOn is Valued for
| the Child’s Diet
A what age ma, childien have
meat? Thisis a question which
has not been definitely settled,
out according to Dr. Isaac A. Abt,
meat carefully ground or chopped
can bz divested by an infant as
young as two and one-half months.
At auy rste as soon as the chi'd
pas teeth with which to chew,
meat may be mtroduced into his
diet, and it will be good for the
development of the teeth, accord
ing to Dr. E. B. Forbes, who says,
“spare the meatgrinder and teach
the child to use his teeth ”
Bacon is the first meat recom
me: ded for children and it can
be given as early asihe eighth
month. Bacon i 3 valued in the
diet cf the child because the fat
is, next to butter fat, the most
casily assimilated of the food fats
and its protein is as easily digest
ed as any other meat protein,
which'is’regarded as almostfcom
pletely digested. Through exper
iments, i} has been shown that
the average person utilizes 96.3
per cent of cooked bacon. ¥or
children, bacou must be crisply
cooked and the excess of fat
drained from it. .

Storing the Cured Tobacco
——
By J. M. Purdom
Assistant Agriculfural and Indus
trial Agent Atlan‘fid;poast Line
’ Railroad Company -
After tobacco i§ cured the next
step is to get it out of the curing
‘barn and into the packhouse. This
is a job that déserves more thought ‘
and-attention than is usually given
it. IF it is allowed to get in too
high order it will dgmage, and if it
is taken out too dry it will not im-l
prove much in the,stack and con
siderabie work ;31. be requirea
later to get it in the proper order
for taking off of the sticks and
oreparing for market. It shou!d
be remembered that in Georgia
and Florida our eardiest croppings
are usua.ly sold within six wee's
after they are cured, and very of
ten we have to sell our later
croppings within ten days or {we
weeks, so that we should try to
get our tobazco in almost the right
selling order before takiug it out
of Ihe barn. ;
Ordinarily one mght with the
doors, windows and ventilators
open will bring the tobacco in the
lower part of the:barn in proper
order, and one can really get it
out in the best c¢anditioc by re
moviog-the tower half the fim,
morning, and the wupper half the
next night or morning. The to
tacco while it is being allowed to
come in order should be watched
as closely as is the case while it is
veing cured, and the ordering
process controlled as is seen to
be necessary,
INSPECI THE TOBACCO ASIT
COMES OUT OF THE BARN
iis while emptying the born
one really has the most important
opportunity of examining his cured
tobacce. ™ It is very often the case
that such an examination wil
show how the cropping or the
curing should be modified. For
exampie, ifthere is a large amount
of green tobacco we know our
enring has been too fast or the
cropping was not done right, If
there is no gr:en but a coasider- |
able amount of sponged tobacco,
iwe know there wus either not
enough ventilation or we did not
run the heat up quickly enough,
It is for this reason I do not like
to empty tobacen barns at nlght,
particulaviy the firft few curings,
A GOOD STORAGE HOUSE
| NECESSARY |
' The tubacco should be stored
ia a good house, one which has a
good 100 f, which can be veniila
ited when necessary, and which
(can be kept dark. I the floor is
;eigbt or ten sect above the ground
there will be less danger of to
|bacco in the bottom of the stack
damaging. Tob cco should never
be 11id on the bare floor. If there
are no dry shucks or straw that
can be used to cover the flour,
some butlap or sacks should be
laid on it as well as a few empty
toba :co sticks on which to build
the stack. In building the stack
the leaves should always be kept
on treinside of the stock and the
stems to the oufside, and none of
the leaves should e allowed to
hang down on the outside of the
stack. When the stack is finished
it shouid be carefully wragped up
with suitable sheets or quilts.
Lightening Strickes

the lighfing was no respecter of
persors, striking here and there.
Mr. J. P. Mizel"s house and fence
was struck four times within a
few moments. Beginning in fhke

was torn off, again the light wires
were burned and the switch burn.

hole under the gate to the road:
Other houses were struck but ve
ry little damage done.
Monday afternoon the torren
tial rain was preceded by hail, the
stores being quite large and rag
ged. We have hoard of no mate
rial damage resulting from the
hail. Fears are being expressed
that too much rain will injure the
tobacco crop which was showing
up s 2 nicely.

The stack should be examined
at intervals and treated as its
condition indicates, If itis found
to be too damp if snould be aired
thorovugnly on a dry windy day.
If it is too dry it should be nan.
