HOME ACCIDENTS
Next to motoring, the most dang
erous thing one can do is to stay at
heme. The National Safety ^uun-
cil has published figures on acci
dental deaths for 1931 which reach
ed a new high total of 97,000. The
increase of two thousand over 1928
is charged against the automobile,
for motorcar casualties reached
31,000. Deaths of children, how
ever, scarcely increased at all, so
perhaps the safety campaigns are
bearing fruit. The death toll in
cluded 23,000 fatalities in or about
the home. Over nine thousand of
these resulted from falls—princi
pally slipping in the bathtub and
on rugs. Bums, scalds, and explo
sions ranked high. Curiously
enough, home casualties were al
most exactly equal to those in in
dustry.

Over the greater part of the Unit
ed States the forests are beginning
to take on their autumn splendor.
The turning of the leaves in the
fall, from their uniform summer
.green to brilliant hues ranging from
the palest yellows and browns to
.brilliant scarlet, presents one of the
most gorgeous spectacles ever to be
.seen. We in America have become
.so accustomed to it that we often
. do not realize its beauty. It is a
constant soured" of delight -and
wonder to European visitors, who
have no such phenomenon at honie.
Our American autumn is some
thing that we on this continent
alone possess. The pleasant weeks
between the first frost and, Christ
mas, when the winter’s cold and
.snow really begin over most of the
United States, make a season in
which outdoor life can be enjoyed
to its utmost. There is as much

tion to the fact that his cotton is
not receiving as much potash as it
should.
There are various stages of pot
ash hunger on cotton. In somo
fields only a slight bronzing of the
leaf and more than usual shedding
is noted. In other fields the plants
have lost a good portion of their
leaves, the bolls are \>oorly formed
and do not open properly, and the
crop is hard to pick. For seven
years now hundreds of demonstra
tions throughout this section have
also shown that cotton which shows
no signs of potash hunger will pro
fitably respond to at least 8 per
cent potash in the fertilizer mix
ture.
With extreme cases of potash
hunger we recommend 8 to 10 per
cent potash in the mixture at
planting and about 100 to 200
pounds of muriate as a top-dresser.
Many farmers buy this extra pot
ash in nitrogen-potash top-dress-
ers. If wilt is present, wilt-resist
ant seed should also be used.
In This Section
I recently made a tour of Or
angeburg county. South Carolina,
and saw more than 100,000 acres of
cotton which needed an extra 100
potiltds «f muriate or 200 pounds of
20 per cent kainit per acre. Again,
in the Piedmont section of that
stott I saw thousands of acres in
Saluda, Greenwood and Abbeville
counties which needed the same
treatment.
In Rockdale and Walton coun
ties, just out of Atlanta, and again
in the limestone valleys of north
western Georgia I saw thousands of
acres of cotton showing various
stages of potash hunger.
Mr. S. K. Jackson of .Raleigh,
after a trip through western North
Carolina, made the following report
on August 25. » “Corn has suffered
more than any other crop and
shows poor prospects. Cotton has
made small growth but set a fair
crop of fruit. However, shedding
has been very severe during ^ the
last two weeks and cotton rust is
showing in practically every field.”
W. H. Appleton of Gadsden,
Alabama, has reported that many
fertilizer men in the northern part
of that state are selling fertilizsr
mixtures carrying 7 to 10 per cent
potash.for cotton at planting. H?
also thinks that the nitrogen-pot
ash top-dressers which have been
used with excellent results in recent
years will enjoy big sales when con
ditions return to normal. He
said, “Mr. Mullins of Mullins and
Moore, fertilizer dealers at Clanton,
told me recently that 400 pounds of
a mixture made of 1,800 pounds oi
10-4-4 and 200 pounds of muriate
of potash has given R. L. Williams
of Billingsley the best cotton this
season he has ever produced on the
land where this mixture was used.”
(The equivalent analysis was
Mr. Cushman says:
“Mr. Roosevelt has taken this
historic old plantation, rich in early
history, and recreated the pictur
esque and scenic charm- which
characterized its early days. Long
neglected, its broad acres have been
cleared of unsightly brush and un-
uurgrowth, seeded and fenced, and
now present an interesting and in-
.structfve studjr'in productive pas
ture areas and rotated field crops.

Lamb Chops With Currant Jeliy
Have the lamb chops cut of uni
form thickness (about 1 inch thick)
and the fell removed. To broil by
direct heat lay the chops on a cold
greased rack and place over live
coals or under an electric grill or
gas flame. If gas is ustd have the
chops 2 or 3 inches from the flame.
Sear them on both sides at a high
temperature. After searing, lower
the flame and finish cooking at a
reduced temperature. Turn the
chops occasionally, but do not
pierce the brown crust. It requires
from 10 to 15 minutes to broil chops
3-4 to 1 inch thick.
Take some of the fat from the
broiler pan and melt a glass of
currant jelly in it. Place the broil
ed chops In the center of a hot
platter and serve with a border of
hot boiled rice. Pour the sauce
over the chops and serve while hot.
The platter may also be decorated
very attractively^with, sprigs of wa
tercress.
