wnI Imnrove that Pot Rnnst.

Editor The Washington Herald:
When the meat comes from the market
there is usually a quantity Of seemingly
superfuous fat with it, Do not cut this
OF for rendering purposes. but make
use Of it~in the following manner: FIRST
cut the fat into strips approximately one
half by one inch in thickness. Make in
cisiOns in the lean portions Of the meat
about two inches apart. Five or six OF
these in a seven-pound roast will be SUI
fcient Now insert the strips or fat in
these holes and trim the protrudlng por-
ton even with the surface. This method
followed before basting will be found to
do away with that dryness which Is so
much in evidence in the pot roast.

STATHAM IN BLACK ROOT WAR
Dawson Man Employed by Depart
ment of Entomology to Dis
tribute Immune Seed.

AS a part of the campaign which
the state agricultural department is
waging for the determination of the
disease common to peas and cotton
known as black root State Entomolo-
gist E. L. Worsham is preparing to
distribute among the farmers of the
state cotton seed and peas which are
immune to the attack of this dis
ease.
Judge M. G. Statham of Dawson
has been employed to distribute
these seed among the farmers of the
counties in which black root is prev
alent, and will begin the work as
soon as a consignment of the seed is
Ireceived by him.
v The seed which will be distributed
have been gathered from the Sec
lions where black root is prevalent,
and were taken from stalks of cotton
and from peavines that resisted the
attacks of this disease, and are
known from experiment to be i'm
mune. The department now has
about 1900 bushels of these cotton
seed and peas.
Since the germ of black root origi-
mated in the soil the plan is to plant
the immune seed wherever the soil
shows a tendency to produce the dis
ease, and in this way it is hoped to
eventually stamp it out altogether.
