Many years ago Thomas Jefferson ^ vrnen the subject of foreign itnmiK. gration was only beginning to be disK cussed in this country, said "It i. ? time we were becoming more ^Vmericanized". Some years later AnieriJ> can statesmen began to take alarm at the great increase o! t'ore'gn unniil\'. gration and the "Know Nothing"' parF ty was formed. The Civil \v*ar be j? tween the states loomed up and the jr Know Nothing party disappeared oi was merged into other parties. The continued increase of foreign erg Hocking to our shores is g.-iiu the more thoughtful and patriot i-. Americans greater concern." Wli'U ft congress has limited to some extent the flow of immigration to Elli: f Island where foreigners are dumped the number of people l'rom t thei lands in this country and the numbei still coming in gives room for grav< apprehension for the peace and safe ty of this coutry. For, be it remem bered that anarchists, and many it not most of the strickers are ol ioreign uesceni, thousand 01 mtn who cannot speak our language. Let anyone who may say that then is no need of alarm take heed tc these figures taken from the last census. New York city had at the census of 1920 a total population of 5,020, 000. Of this number 4,294,000, oi over three-quarters of its population, ure of foreign stock. Chi cago, out of u total population oi r 2,700,000, had 1,941,000, or 72 pel ppilt nf fnri>itrn utni'L* Thixn 1 vvi cities are but typical of many others Rhode Island leads all other state: with a forigri stock of Gl) per cent followed by Massachusetts with G( per cent, Connecticut and North Da kota with G5 percent, New York G"_ per cent, Wisconsin 5U per cent, am . New Jersey 58 per cent. With this large amount of foreigt population in this country, some ol it very undesirable, to say the least why should not the bars be put ui and the amount of immigration limi ted? The Advertiser honors all good citi zens of foreign birth and of foreigr descent who have been leading good industrious lives in this country. It is in their interest and in the intereat of their children and of all gooc Americans everywhere thul this ap peal is made for the protection of oui native-born people as well as for rea lovers of our institutioni whethei foreign or native-born. America should not become the dumping ground for the reception oJ those fleeing from Europe for theii country's good. OPENING ANOTHER BANK There has been a great deal ol newspaper space given to Villa the Mexican bandit. But Pancho Villa is in a new role. lie is going t> open a bank. Not in his oid way ol opening banks but he is going to become a sure enough banker. The cash with which he will finance his bank will be money from the Mexican government paid him for being good and letting otner banks alone. Warning to depositors, "Dent crowd. Villa will receive your deposits any old time regardless of bank hours." HARD TO PLEASE Some people are hard to please. Here is a man tried in Chicago for counterfeiting who to!d the Judge he would like to be sent to the penitentiary in Atlanta as he had been in an me leneral prisons except ino prison in Atlanta, an 1 lu would like that one for a change. The judge accommodated him. PASSING OF A GOOD MAN In the recent death of Congressman James R. Mann, of Illinois, the country has sustained a great loss. Mr. Ma n had been in congress more than twenty years and was the leader of the Republican party. He was not an unfair or unjust man, but counted among his warmest friends many leading1 Democrats in congress. Indeed Mr. Mann was in strong contrast with some Republican congressmen who never have a good word for the South or for a Democrat. lie went to his grave mourned alike by Republicans and Democrats. DO IT NOW One ause of much misery in this world is the failure i<> through with inpleasant tasks. , In a business way, tin su tasks relate mostly to mistakes, mibundeistandings and disputes between employer and employee. The tendancy is to leave these mattiers unsettled. , But they do not heal themselves. Rather, the poisonous roots spread, and the outcome is a customer lost, an expensive law-suit, an employee wunoui a jod or an employer minus a valuable employee. I admit that some problems, if left lone, will solve themselves. U* fumaammmamm But this is not true of matters involving human feelings. If you are "in Dutch," if you "have made a bull," or if you"have slipped up," in heaven's name, get the matter off your chest immediately. Every moment's delay will add to your troubles. , Today and every day, millions oi dollars are tied up on the books oi business because of disputes over cerI tain small items. If these had beer t promptly adjusted, capital would be . released for productive work anc I good-will would be conserved. | Thousands of men are working at a low efficiency because they have fail ed to patch up minor grievances be tween themselves and their employer: or fellow employees. Discussion of domestic rows, theii causes and consequences, have nt I place in this newspaper, but from the j writer's experience and observation , he would say that 98 per cent of ser . ious domsetie situations have theii origin in trivial matters that ought t< | be settled in the space of lime it takes | 10 uccitie whoiiior you will enow pop ' permint or spearmint gun.

Farmers 31PP lirirnH nnf fn fArm fArt koofv elusions in regard to these recomt mendations, because frequently the i results secured were not due to the ' recommendation made, but to a com^ bination of weather conditiohs, good land, good seed, good culture, etc., . suggests Prof. A. F. Conradi, Ento$ niologist. To illustrate, a man came into a 1 cotton field and divided it into two equal parts called A and B. He used his treatment on part A, leav ing purtB untreated. Part A pror duced more cotton than part B, and * he concluded that this was due to 5 his remedy. This man did not make any determination as to the amount of weevil infestation on different ^ parts of the field before he started, r nor did he make these determinations after the remedy was ap* plied, to find out whether his remedy was really having any effect or 1 not. Furthermore, on part B r side of the field there were forests p with underbrush along the edges, while part the A. side of the field 1 adjoined a public highway and the edges of the field were clean. Part b A was somewhat lower than part B. Infestation counts showed that the weevil was much more numerous in part B than in part A, while the application of his remedies did r noi snow ar.v variation in lmestalion. In fact, there was no evidence whatever that his remedy had any effect. He did not make these infestion counts and lie never knew how many weevils he had in different parts of the field. Part A gave more cotton than part li, and to his own mind and to the minds of neighboring farmers this was sufficient evidence that his remedy was !i helpful. Many of the planters in 1 that community are going to use the * remedy next year. The farmer looks 1 upon such operation as an experi" ment, but. as a matter of fact it was not an experiment nor did it even resemble one. In certain sections farmers claim that they got excellent results in e controlling the weevil with some certain remedy they were using up ^ to July 20, after which they claimed ii was no longer enecuve. y>mong 1 these remedies tried and claimed to be effective were calcium arsenate ~ liquid spray, calcium arsenate dust, ' calcium arsenate sweetened, kerosene and red devil lye, etc. The 1 facts are that none of these rem^ ?'dies controlled the weevil, but that " I the weevil did net appear in any great numbers until about July 20. ' Had these farmers made the neces'* sary infestation determinations (which any one can make), they ' would have been convinced of this. * They did not do this but blankiey assumed that just because they put " this stuff into the cotton liold and ' no weevils were present, it must have done pood. ?

These words make almost any man i smile, but too often he will be disappointed in the eating, because potentially good pork is often ruined ' by ignorance of the essentials of I , meat curing. Weather conditions af- i . feet meat curing to some extent but 1 they can be overcome. J The pork carcass should be divi- , | 1 ded on the basis of lean or fat, , j thick or thin. Properly divided, ( ' there will be ham, loin, bacon, shoul- I i^der and head, says D. T. Herrmann, 1 . Extension Swine Specialist, who j makes the following suggestions on ' curing meat. The ham is cut off just back of , the rise of the backbone and at right I angles to the leg. The hind leg is j cut off an inch above the hock, and ; the foteleg an inch above the knee. | The head is cut from the shoulder | at the atlas joint and includes all of the jowl meat. The shoulder is I cut off between the third and fourth I ribs and at right angles to the body, i The bacon is cut from the loin just i below the tenderloin muscle on the rear part of the middle and parallel I rv 4 \n\ linnl/ All of tKnco vn. , vv v?iv wuvn* fiu vi invov- v ui i i V" quire trimming and squaring. This I improves the appearance of the finI ished product, and makes for unit form curing. No more lean meat i than necessary should be exposed, as curing hardens it. All loose pieces should be trimmed off, for they dry out in curing. All but one-fourth inch of fat should be trimmed off the loip and put into the lard, care being taken in trimming this off not to cut into the loin. Lean trimmings and head meat go into the sausage, fat trimmings into the lard. The loin and sausage are used for fresh meat and the remainder is cured. The first essential to successful curing is thorough cooling, but the meat should not be frozen at any time. Either brine or dry curing will be satisfactory. Brine requires less work unless it gets ropy and in this case it must be drawn off and boiled or a new brine made. Brine also keeps away insects and vermin. During warm weather the dry method is much safer. Whichever method is used it is advisable to rub the surface of the meat with line salt and allow it to drain for 6 to 12 hours before packing in the cure. Brine Method of Curing For brine curing use 10 pounds of salt, 2 '/fc pounds of sugar, 2 j ounces of saltpeter, 4 Vfe gallons of i water for every 100 pounds of meat. I Boil these in the water so that they ^ i will be throughly dissolved and al! low to cool. Pack hams in the bot- ^ torn of the container, shoulders next ( | and the bacon cuts on top and pour ' ! on the brine, being sure that it i covers the meat, In five days draw I off the brine, reverse the order of j packing, and pour the brine back j I again. Repeat this operation on the tenth and eighteenth days. Allow four days cure for each pound of < ham and shoulder in a piece, and three days for each pound in a piece of bacon. Dry Method t For dry curing use 0 to 7 pounds of salt, ?x'-t pounds of s?.'.f,*>eti?r for cure. Allow two days in the cure for each pound in a piece of bacon, and 2 V& days for each pound in a I ham or a shoulder, 1 Much of the superiority of pnck' er's meat comes from proper soak{ intf after curing and before smoking. ; 1 his brightens the meat and re-? moves excess salt, which will harden and form a crust if left on through J the smoking process. The packers j use water at about 65 degrees Fah- < renheit and soak hams or shouldei's j 4. 1 1 1 1 C% 1 C* * lwu iiuui.s, uai'un i i-~ nuurs. ouinctimes meat must be left in the cure longer than the standard time, and then they add three minutes extra for each day over time. After hanging about three hours to drip, the meat is ready to smoke. Green hickery or maple makes the best smoke, but any hardwood will do. Soft woods or resinous woods are very unsatisfactory. A mild smoke of 24 to 36 hours is most common. Twelve hours should be the minimum, and meats that are to be kept into the summer should be um/.b <wl 4 Unn >/ I J.
