Ed munds on the Washington Herald arrived after the funeral and was placed on the grave. The Farm Outlook For South Carolina Given In Circular From The Edgefield Advertiser, Jan. 6. For two decades or longer few men have been more widely or more favorably known over the county than Mr. A. A. Edmunds. His tenure of public office, extend ing over a period of six or eight years, kept him in close touch with the people of every section, and too, his personality, with his cor dial manner and innate sense of humor, made Mr. Edmunds a gen eral favorite over the county. “Uncle” Gus, as he was familiarly known, loved the people and the people loved him. In Mr. Edmunds’ series of mis fortunes and afflictions, which seemed to pile upon him with crushing weight as the years pass ed, the people of the county evi denced deep and abiding sympathy for him. Therefore, it was natural that when his health failed, each recurring attack causing his strength to become more and more depleted, his friends should be so licitous concerning him. Finally, in spite of the heroic fight made to regain his health, Mr. Edmunds was confined to his bed continu ously, and after lingering for 10 days or longer he passed away Sat urday night, December 26, at 11:45, with all of his children at his bed side, except one son, W. A. Ed munds, of Washington, D. C., who reached Edgefield the next day Mr. Edmunds possessed business ability to a marked degree. He not only managed his personal affairs successfully but gave the same close attention to the business of the people when he served them as a member of the county board and later as county supervisor two terms. His administration was • marked by rigid economy, it being his constant desire to protect the interest of the taxpayers. But for his broken health and physical in firmity, Mr. Edmunds would have continued in public life for a num ber of years. The people honored and trusted him. In later years he offered to serve as magistrate of the first magisterial district and was elected for two terms, serving at the time of his death. Mr. Edmunds possessed a high sense of honor and he respected the rights of others, always con ducting himself so as to be void o offense toward his fellow man. Not a word of just criticism can be of fered against his private or public life. The heroic and courageous spirit which he evidenced through all of his affliction and the fine spirit of good cheer and optimism which he always manifested were an inspiration to all with whom he came in contact. The world was made brighter and better by the ife of Mr. Edmunds, which extend ed over a period of nearly 71 years His wife, who was Miss Mary Lou Middleton before their marriage, passed away in 1927. and he was in terred Monday morning, December 28, beside her grave in Eastview cemetery, following the funeral in the Baptist church, which was con ducted by the Rev. B. W. Thomason and Dr. H. G. England. Mr. Ed munds was a member of the Edge- field Baptist church and of Con cordia Lodge, A. F. M., and the Masons conducted the service at the graveside. Surviving Mr. Edmunds are three sons, W. A. Edmunds, Washington, D. C.; Leslie M. Edmunds, Colliers; C. F. Edmunds, Patterson, N. J.; three daughters, Mrs. C. F. Kohl- russ, Augusta; Mrs. C. V. Wenner, Jackson, Miss., and Miss Emmie Clemson. Jan. 4. — A summary forecast for farming and farm family living in South CaroHna for 1937 is given in Extension Cir cular 154, The Farm Outlook for South Carolina—1937, now ready for distribution. The publication discusses briefly demand and prices, cash crops, feed crops, livestock, dairying, poultry, and the various phases of farm family living with special reference to a fuller live-at- home program on the farm. As to the general situation con fronts t farm people, the outlook calls attention to the prospect that the demand for agricultural prod ucts in 1937 will be greater than it was in 1936 but points out that prices of farm products are not now a great way below the 1910-14 level as compared with the prices of things farmers have to buy in living and carrying on farming Operations. Circular 154 may be had from county farm agents, county home agents, or the Publications Depart ment at Clemson. -J—txt Lamb Roast Ideal For Small Family Housewives who have but two in the family frequently yearn for good juicy roasts like Mother used to prepare, and because the family is small hesitate to choose a large roast. There is where a lamb proves to be a most accommodating ani mal. Since the lamb is small, it yields choice roasts which are small in size. The lamb shoulder, boned and rolled, makes a roast weighing four or five pounds; still smaller, is the boned and rolled breast and the sir loin roll; and very small roasts, two to two and a half inches thick, may be cut from the boned and rolled loin. These smaller roasts are cook ed exactly as the larger roasts, ex cept that they require less total time, but slightly more cooking time per pound. As is the case with all roasts, these roasts should be cooked for the most part of the time at a low temperature (300- 350 degrees F.). In case the very small roasts should not be nicely browned in the length of time they are in the oven at a low tempera ture, the oven temperature may be increased for just long enough to produce the desired color. The directions for roasting meat properly are given by Inez S. Will- son, home economist. Method for Roasting (1) Place roast fat side up on a rack in an open roasting pan. (2) Season with salt and pepper. (3) Place in a slow oven (300- 350 degrees F.) and let roast until done. Lamb requires thirty to thir ty-five minutes per pound for un boned cuts, and slightly longer for boned and rolled cuts. Broiling Is Easy Says This Expert With the advent of the newer method of cooking meat, broiling has become a simple task, says Inez S. Willson, home economist. The lower temperatures being advocat ed nowadays are largely responsible for this simplification. The broiling oven is thoroughly pre-heated. Then the meat is placed far enough rom the source of heat that only one turning is necessary. By the ime one side is nicely browned the steak or chop is half done, and is seasoned, turned, and allowed to brown and finish cooking on the second side. The cuts suitable for broiling are the tender steaks and chops. Por terhouse or T-bone, club, and sir- oin are the steaks; rib, loin or shoulder chops and slices cut from the leg are the lamb cuts suitable or broiling. Ground meat from even the less-tender cuts may be broiled, since in the grinding, the ong fibers are cut, and the meat made tender.
