Save Farm Meat Despite Weather Columbia, Jan. 23.?Having meat under the prevent weather condition* of high temperature aud humidity ia a perplexing problem now confront* Iiik farmers and reminding many of conditiom* of u few wintoj* ago when warm weuther canned excessive loss et* of meat in cure. "Vyhon the thermometers hover from 50 to 70 degrees it |h no time to think ubout kllliug hogs union** artificial refrigeration in available, because failure to got meat cooled thoroughly Immediately after slaughter and during the first part of the curing period ia the fhief cause of spoilage even though this may not show up until later," says J. H. Hawkins, extension animal husbundmun. "Holding hogs which have reached heavy weights until the weather turns cold enough for safe butchering is also very satisfactory, first because many hogs are ulready heavier than desired and, secondly, because continued feeding will make serious inroads into the feed supply which may be needed for other purposes." if cold storage space is available in a local ice plant Mr. Hawkins suggests that the hogs may be slaughtered, the carcass center-split down the middle of the backbone, and taken to be chilled immediately after slaughter. The temperature of the meat while In cure should best bq, kept at 38 degrees Fahrenheit. "If no cold storage plant is available a home-made meat-curing box refrigerated with ice is entirely feasible and has given good fesults when carefully constructed," the specialist advises. "Blue prints and specifications for. constructing such a box can be secured through county farm ugentB. Another alternative is to can witli a pressure cooker as much as possible of the fresh meat, including the loins, spare ribs, sausage, and i even the hams and shoulders. Kxj tension Bulletin 77, Pork for Carolina Farmers, and Extension Bulletin 94, Canning Meat on the Farm, available from the Publications Department, Clemson, S. C., will be of assistance in helping save the meat supply as well as furnishing recipes for a variety of products." HIGH SCHOOL TE8TING Columbia, Jan. 26.?More than 22,000 tests are being administered tbis week in 140 separate school systems as a part of the South Carolina "Every Pupil" Testing program for grade seven, sponsored Jointly by the offices of the State High School Supervisor and the personnel bureau of the University of South Carolina. The number of tests being given this year marks a 50 per cent increase over tests administered in the state last year, according to W. C. McCall, head of the University personnel bureau. Apprpximately .*1,000 worth of clerical and statistical aid in the testing program is being contributed by students at the University holding National Youth Administration jobs. The cost of testing materials used is being paid by the schools participating In the program. Though participation is efitirely voluntary, Professor McCall points out that more than one-fourth the total white population of South Carolina seventh grade classes have entered the program. This year's testing program has been divided into two sections. The service fOr grade seven is being given January 25 to 27 and the senior high school programs is scheduled for April 19-23. East year the entire program was held In May. There are no contest features connected with the testing program. No prizes or awards will be made, for fear of developing school rivalries or causing special training to be given promising pupils. Fundamental values to be derived from the program, according to Professor McCall, rest In the cooperative characteristics and results of pooling information gathered from all the tests. In this way. he says. South Carolina schools may learn more about their educational problems as schools and more about the abilities of their pupils as individuals. Tests being used have been prepared by specialists in test construction in accordance with the new concept of educational measurements. They are being used in an Iowa statewide testing program, as well as in South Carolina. Many of the rural public schools in North Carolina, have been temporarily closed, because of the bad condition of roads making bus travel dangerous.
