Meat Curing Methods to Be Demonstrated Agricultural Experts Will Conduct Meet in Augusta Tuesday Morn ing, November 29. Boston, Ncv. 18.—America* had mis?td the opportunity for reinflation, Virgil Jordan, New York ‘economist, told the New England conference t - day, and now faces the neces-ity for a radical write down cf capital val ues an d debts. The conference was spensored by the New England coun cil. Because this country adh.ars to the jr Jd standard, he said, competition in the foreign fie'd would lx* greatly in tensified. Therefcre, he said, to an increasing extent, thi’ volume output of American industr y must be absorb ed by the domestic market. But he added, "it will be impossible to do this if wage standards are low ered .to anything lifrcf the extent to which commodity price s have been or must be." If American business abandoned its alibi habit, he -aid, and buckled down to the job, energetically, intelligently and in a spirit of equity, it will be possible to re-establish on a sound basis, without continued delay which would incur - the danger of social di - tir bance.-. He said a start <n the road to rt^ -covery might bo* mad - next spring but that he, personally, was doubtful whether sufficient progres- cmrld be made by then for basic readjustments. In spite of seasonal improvement this fall, he said, the pre-ent level of business-activity in most lines wa s on “a bankruptcy level.” J. J. Pelley, president of the Now Haven rai'ioad, said: "This country cannot continue to pout in hundreds cf millions of ddlar s each year to subsidize highway, water and air transportation to compete with the railroads. Subsidized transportation mu-t he bright to an end for all time.” Field Agent L. H. Marlett, cf the Extension Division of the State Col lege of Agriculture of Athens, Ga., will conduct a demon-tration of the most approved methods cf cutting and curing meat in Augusta Tuesday appear before me, in the Court cf Probate, to be held at Barnwell, S. C., on Saturday, December 3rd, next after publication thereof, at 11 o’clock in the forenoon, to show cause, if any they have, why the said Administra tion should not be granted. Given under my hand this eighth- teenth day of November, A. D. 1932. JOHN K. SNELLING, Judge of Probate. Published cn the 24th day of Nov., 1932, in The Bar nwell People-Sentinel.

The* new meat cur ing plant of the Augusta Iceland Goal Co. is one of the best equipped in the* Southeast' and has a capacity of one* million ipcund s c f meat. It has hee*n laid cut according to th* most approved plan. There are scores cf separate com partments in the storage' room and each farmer’s meat will be kept to itself. Experts recommend that farmers kill and dress the meat and biin^ it to the cold storage p’ant to be cooled for twenty-four hcur$ being being cut and cured. Much meat i* spoiled by- curing before body heat has been drawn from the bones. It is esti mated that over 2,000,000 pounds of home-cured meat spoiled last year in Georgia alone because it was either not cooled properly before the curing e-r it was not held at the.xitfht tem perature during the forty day s it takes to properly cure meat.
