The ancient art of outdoor
cookery has rebounded into the
space age
Sizzling meat over a pan of
charcoal embers has not entirely
replaced the modern kitchen. But
on summer evenings a cook-out
in the back yard is adding a touch
of old- something new to gastro
nomic pleasure 'of many a Caro
lina family.
How extensive outdoor cooking
really is can be partially gauged
by the popularity of a publication
distributed by the Clemson Col
lege Extension Service. Haley M
Jamison. Clemson extension live
stock specialist, one of the au
thors. says this:
"We have received requests for
the circular on “OuUtoor Cook-
ery” from 41 states and four for
eign countries The Texas Agri-
cpltural Extension Service has
printed lo.OOO copies for their
use From Clemson services, we
have distributed close to 40,000
copies And it looks like we're go
ing to have to reprint again "
Cooking with charcoal is a dry
heat method of cooking borrowed
from the ancients Babylonian
carvings of 750 A D show the
method But chances are good
that charcoal cooking was used
long before that period.
Cooking with dry heat is simi
lar to baking. Dry heat cooking
does not tenderize as well as boil
ing For that reason, the more
tender cuts of meat should be
chosen for cooking over char
coal.'’
The tenderest beef cuts, Mr
Jamison says, come from fairly
young, well L>d animals that bear
the USD A grades of prime, choice
or good. The cuts such as sirloin,
porterhouse. T-bone. club, rib,
and rib-eye are excellent for cook
ing over charcoal Cuts that come
from the much exercised muscles,
such as the leg, will not be as ten
der.
All cuts of the laihb carcass are
ideally suited for outdoor cook
ery. It is the only red meat spe
cies of which the entire carcass
lends itself to cooking over char
coal. But be sure you're getUng
lamb and not mutton.
Of the cuts of pork, three lend j
themselves well to outdoor cook
lery. These are center ham slices,
loin, and rib chops. Pork cuts are
said to be the best when they’re
at least V-inch thick. Needless to
I say, all pork should be cooked
' well done.
Beef may be cooked to any de
gree of doneness desired.
Mr Jamison likes the thick
cuts. "Buy the cuts thick, even if
you have to divide them after
cooking,'' he advises
"Many of us have our steaks
cut too thin Actually, the thick
cuts hold the natural Juices and
will cook just as well as thinner
cuts 1 think you'll be happier
with steaks if they are at least
one inch thick ”
Charcoal makes ground meat
taste better, loo. although I don’t
know exactly whether it's the
charcoal or the outdoor atmos
phere
I understand that county agents
have a few of the pamphlets left
Ask for Clemson Extension Circu
lar 4fl0 entitled. "Outdoor Cook
ery."

"W’e have some of the prettiest
i grain fields I have ever seen. It
looks like we will have a bumper
crop." Calhoun. County Agent O.
W Cain observed following the
recent rains
Clemson embarked on a pro
gram to encourage the planting
of more recomended small grain
varieties last summer. The ex
periment stations have tested the
varieties and found some to be
best for our conditions.
The agents have reported that
the program has met with initial
success. Now, if the weather con
tinues to be favorable, we're like
ly to see some improved grain
yields later.

Coastal Bermuda planting con
tinues to spread throughout the
state.
H. T. Warner, Greenwood Coun
ty farmer, dug 6,000 bushels of
sprigs to help other farmers get
started this spring. Coastal is not
started from seed. Instead, it is
vegetatsvely propagated by plant
ing the sprigs or crowns from
old plants. «
Farmery have improvised va
rious methods to ease the job of
"sprigging." Some drop the
sprigs by hand—then disk them
into the soil. Others use tobacco
and tree planters or manure
spreaders to distribute the sprigs 1
