Becka called, “So long! We’re go

Mr. Lipvitch argued with a custom

An hour later, in the dark of
early evening, the girl and boy, arm

about the Clothing Emporium.
“Have you got any money?”
Becka asked this frankly.
“Lipvitch—your father,” he cor

In these days of reduced budgets,
it is often necessary to make the
dollars have more cents, but ac
cording to the National Live Stock
and Meat Board, meat prices have
dropped so low that it is an easy
matter to keep the meat costs with
in the food budget. To support
this argument, the National Live
Stock and Meat Board listed a
number of cuts which can be
bought for 15 cents a pound or less,
and some of them much less.
Among the low-cost cuts are chuck
and rump roasts, plate, neck, flank,
ground meat and stew of beef;
spareribs, shoulder, sausage, liver,
heart, and bacon -ends of pork;
stew, breast, liver, and heart of
lamb; and the shoulder, breast,
shanks, and stew of veal. These
are economy cuts, yet with a lit-

CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 10.—
As soon as the rush of the culti
vating season is ov e r, farmers who
are planning to build a trench silo
are advised by J. T. McAlister, ex
tension agricultural engineer, to
start constructing the silos. In
far too many instances during the
past few years, he states, delay in
construction until th e silage is
ready to cut has caused unsatisfac
tory results.
Digging in the hard Cecil clay
soils of the Piedmont is a rather
slow process after the first few
feet of soil is removed, Mr. McAlis
ter continues. Since only two or
three men can work in the trench
at a time, it may not be necessary
to hire extra labor if construction
is begun early. Furthermore, with
early construction, the 'trench can
be completed, walls smoothed and
firmed before time to put in sil
age; the earth banks around the
edges will have time to settle and
ample provision can be made to
keep surface water from running
into the trench; and many mistakes
may be avoided or corrected that
usually occur when the job is done
hastily.
The trench silo is proving to be a
most economical method of pre
serving green feed for winter use,
for in most instances the cost is
very low per ton capacity. Farmers
interested may secure from the
Publicaitons Division at Clemson
College Extension Circular 121, The
Trench Silo, which contains illus
trated instructions on making
trench silos.

in a covered baking dish, cover

Shoulder of veal.
2 cups soft bread crumbs.
Salt and pepper.

Have the bone removed from the
shoulder of veal. Fill the cavitr

per and lay strips of bacon across
the top. Sear in a hot oven (500
degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 to 20
minutes and at the end of this
time, reduce the temperature rap
idly to 260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cover the roaster and - continue
cooking until the roast is done, al
lowing 20 minutes per pound.
Panbroiled Meat Patties
II- 2 pounds ground steak.
2 tablespoons minced onion.
1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
1-4 cup bread crumbs. ^ j
1-4 cup milk.
Bacon slices.
. Salt and pepper. —
Mix all ingredients well and
shape into small round cakes,
handling as little as possible. Wrap
a slice of bacon around each cake,
and fasten with a toothpick. Pan
broil the patties in a heavy skillet
until the bacon is brown arid the
meat is cooked through. This
takes about 10 minutes.

Leafy Covering Keeps
Pores” Of Soil Open
Leaves covering the ground not
only hold a large amount of rain
fall themselves, but they keep the
“pores” of the soil open and allow
it to absorb much more moisture
than land not so covered, according
to soil erosion * specialists of the
United States Department of Agri
culture.
In Oklahoma an experiment is in
progress to discover how much wat
er the leafy covering in wooded land
holds. Measurements showed that
the amount of water held on the
land was much more than the
leaves could hold. The investiga
tors found that the leaves filter the
water, keep it clear and let it soak
into the soil through the many
cracks and holes. Where there is
no leafy covering to filter the wat
er, silt fills these pores and more
water then runs off the land, car
rying eroded soil.
Two wooded plots of equal size
were observed. One was left in the
natural state, the other had the
leafy covering burned off with a
blow torch. A special device meas
ured the run-off of water and the
wash-off of soil. In 2 years, 30
times as much water and 15 times
as much soil were saved on the
ground carpeted with forest leaves
as on the burned-over land. This
shows the importance of protecting
sloping land from the evil of ex
cessive run-off of rain water and
the costly loss of soil that goes with,
the flowing water.
