The Star passes on to you a phrase

this spring!
That phrase is, Yesterday is dead!
The country has been bogged down
before. It is going to begin to pull
out shortly, just aH it always has pull.
ed out. Hut mark this. Business U
not coming back just as it was before.
It never does, after going
through the wringer. v
A lot of the old leaders and old
methods have passed out. A new
bunch of uggressivtvlind resourceful
young fellows will come stomping up
to grasp new opportunities.
For Yesterday is dead!
New opportunities mind you not
the opportunities of the last decade.
Those are gone. Jf experience is a
guide, recovery will not come in orderly
fashion, along the old lines.
Keen men will see business. chances
here and there even when things are
at a low U-vel. Chances that growout
of the depression w ith its changed
demands.
Perhaps these will lie int new products
ot science, in inexpensive novelties,
in hou-e. cooling, in cheap farm
lands. Men who live in the past will
overlook these opportunities. They
will be thinking"- iff things as they
were in 1921b So they will fail to
see the new conditions and take advantage-of
them.
Hut the alert voting crowd will
" jump at the new- cTTancos, develop
them, build up with them u* business,

Yesterday is dead.
Have you heard of the flu-flu bird

BIC COTTON IM.ANTKK

world's second largest producer of
i otton had died in Memphis, Tennessee.
hospital. IDs farming operations
included -IO.oimi acres, it is said, in one
Arkansas county alone, as well ularge
acreage- in other states.
Well .10,000 aires planted to cotton
wou.d equal that of our own county
of Union the present' year?
When the small farmer receives Tortus
cotton less than cost of production
fur his product after destroying
one-fourth of his acreage, one cannot
understand why one man is allowed
to produce as much cotton as can several
thousand one-and-tw o-horse farmers.
It may be all right within the law
for a man to become a hog. but it
certainly is unmoral.
If this Southland of ours will make
it impossible for men living in towns
and citiess to grow farm products,
then, and not until then, may we expect
supply to balance the demand.
Coming nearer home, if Charlotte
would not allow professional men of
the city to become competitors of
dairymen, the little fellows of Mecklenburg
county could find a little
profit in their dairy products.

Hoy Killing Time <
Fifty Years Ago
(from The Sandhill Citizen, South*
ern Bines, N. C.)
When the leaves took on the colors
Of the rainbow, and hickory nuts and i
walnuts hag an to fall and when the
wild muscadines hud reached their
superlative degree of ripeness, aroma
and goodness, it was then that great
piles of seasoned wood were dumped
at the '"hog killing place " The scalding
pots and .barrens were made ready
and the vtones for heating the water
yv.e e in pected, Then the groat ^
'kilns" were- made wood and stones,
, topes and wood live or six feet high
with eight-foot log* of pine, hickory
an I oak. These were started hunting
late in the afternoon. When the
tones were of a certain degree of
yellowish-red they were pullecj from
the burning pile with long wooden
poles tipped with iron and rolled onto
flat iron sleds, dragged to the watertilled
barrels and scalding pot* nnd
dumped in. By thij? means the
"scalding water" was heated.
"Huh! Huh!" and squeals from the
fattening pen announced the beginning
of the yearly slaughter, which
lasted three or four, or sometimes five
days, since grandfather butchered
rarely less than 100 and sometimes
200 hogs in a Reason.
Uncle Reuben was in command until
daybreak when grandfather replaced
him. I was up (with grandmother's
help) by daybreak and accompanied
grandfather to the then greatest event
1 had ever been part of.
After a brief consultation with
Uncle Keubem and a shift in the
workers, and when all was again running
smoothly after the "mounting of
the new guard," grandfather called to
Undo Reason-?"Reason, broil a pigtail
for this hoy." In art incredibly
short time two pigtails?crisp, brown
and culling?-were brought by .Uncle
Reason. "Here's do pigtails, young
Marstcr! Hut you ain't got no salt.
Wait cr minnit. Reason will letch you
some." And in a "minnit" it was
fetched for the IS by 20 foot kilcnen
N?+ts <?nl-y a hundred feet away.
1 pity the country boy who has not
had the supremcst joy of eating two
pigtails, broiled on redhot hickory
coals and eaten as the first rays of
scarlet and amber and .gold announced
the coming of the day's torchbearer.
The aroma, "fragrance, yes, the odoriferousness
of those pigtails still lingers
in my nostrils and will continue
to linger, though my allotted years be
stretched to twice three score; and.
thanks to the "tooth-doctors" to whom
1 pay frequent visits, pigtails are still
in the ambrosial class with me and
not difficult-of mastication, when their
calcareous framework is crushed by
the proper degree and duration ot
high temperature in cooking.
Nothing but salt should he eaten
with broiled pigtails. Bread is an
adulterant, and vinegar or sauces de>tro\
tin it epicurean daintiness, l-.ach
part of the hog (swine, like "vitties,"
is a word 1 would ha\o stricken from
both the dictionary and vocabularies)
lias a taste or flavor characteristically
its own -ham. brains, jowl, side,
spai crib-, chops, tongue, ear, foot,
liver, sweetbread, heart, backbone,
chitu rhng. and a., dozen other parts.
And then by analysis (as in making
cracklilis) and by synthesis (as in
making saifsage) we can run the
number of distinct delicacies to beyond
the proverbial .r>7 varieties. No
wonder the hog has so voracious and
omnivorous an appetite. It is imperative
that he have a variety of
raw materials to support his versatility!
1 deplore the passing of the real
hog-killing time and the smokehouse.
I can remember when the smokehouse
wa> a> much an integral part
of every farm home as the well, the
woodpile or the stable. A curse will
fall upon us if the garage continues
to take the i hu e of the smokehouse.
