Young Clark put 31 horse loads of manure on his three-acre pro ject after which he knocked the stalks. Then he bedded the land. He applied 500 pounds of 10-4-4 fertilizer per acre at the time of planting and planted one bushel of Coker’s Cleveland No. 5 cotton per acre. He next harrowed his land with a hght harrow to break the crust and save moisture. After harrowing he thinned his cotton by hand and then ran around with bull harrow. He then chopped through his field. At this time he used 100 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre as a side dresser. He then ran around his cotton twice and after the third time chopped it again. After nipping around the fourth time he “laid by.” “We did not get a season from the middle of July until late in September”*says young Clark “and this caused my cotton to cut short in production. I think that if I had had good seasons I would have made six or seven bales on my three acres.” txt Cook Roasts Slowly Prevent Shrinkage When a housewife cooks a rib roast of beef or a leg of lamb she must consider how much less there is likely to be from shrinkage. Nat urally she wants the meat to “go as far” as possible. Dietitians in schools hospitals and other insti tutions have the same problem on a larger scale; they must be able to estimate both the number of servings and also the nutritive value of each serving. Shrinkage of meat during cooking means a dollars and cents loss to the man ager of a restaurant cafeteria or hotel dining room or to a delicates sen where cooked meat is sold. The shrinkage affects the appearance, palatability, nutritive value, and the quantity of meat available for serving. and to help make this the biggest and most enjoyable occasion of its In the last four years the Bureau kind ever held at Furman.
