soon. In the meantime let everyone be
ready to give the movement active as
sistance, for with another bumper crop,
we had as well hand in our checks for
something else. Today the whole land,
and especially the cotton section, is
groaning under the great loss from ov,

that thrive and fatten on the cotton
farmers, are like vultures over a car

arrangements for the farmers to do as
usual, draw water and hew wood for
their benefit. How long, farmers, will
you be parties to this suicidal policyR

"THE ROCK HILL PLAN.


Frequent reference is made in the
papers to this plan, and in turn, requests
for information, which we gladly give
it owing to the importance of the sub
iect to farmers, under the general con-
ditions that prevail over the cotton sec
tions of the South. The plan was first
suggested by Mr.. j. G. Anderson, OF
Rick Hill, S. c., hence the name. The
press and others largely interested in
the welfare Of the South, have, from
time to time, taken up the subject for
consideration, and the Southern Cotton
Congress, at New Orleans, in December
last, took it up and mapped out a plan
for its execution. In short, this Con-
gress, through an executive committee
and the active support of the different
commissioners of Agriculture, have ap'
pointed superintendent for each cot
ton state, and they in turn appoint
committees for each county, to eircu-
late, through eanvassers, an agreement
to be signed by cotton growers to re-
duce the acreage planted for the year
1912, as a rule % per cent, from that
of 1911. Already it has been done in
many counties and the results so far
have been favorable. In this issue we
print letter from the superintendent
of Georgia, and ask the careful reading
of it by every farmer and hope for fay
Orable action. As yet we are not in

Great System Perfected BY n.
Soyer, Famous London Chef.
MY EXPERIMENTS WITH PAPER
BAG COOKERY.
RN Marin MecuIIoo1 WlIIIanls.

BY Martha McCuilocn WtlilahlGs
When Soyer's paper bag method Of
cooking was first brought % my at.
tention BY friends, who, rightly 81
wrongly, seem to have q hieh opinion
OF my abilities as coolzI admit
that I was skeptical Of its practices

/ was rather firm in my belief that II
could not prove out But was In
duced to put the system I'd a trial.
and, 10 and beholdl--the very first
trial made me an enthusiastic follow
er Of M. Soyer. Since then have
been doing all my cooking by the
Soyer method, and each succeeding
day more than ever convinces me
that any woman, simply by following
Soyer's general directions, and using
that good common sense and care
which are essential to oil good cook
Fling, can master The Soyer paper bag
method OF cooking In q very short
time, and will find It great boon
both to herself and to all the men1-
bers OF her household.
Following M. Soyer's general direc-
lions for paper bag cookery, ! speed
lily learned that there are sundry COM
mandments to be observed while pur-
suing his method Of cooking.
The first and greatest Of these Is
to get the right bag, which IS made
specially for cooking, Is parafneds
odorless even when crumbly-crisp.
sanitary and to be had in sizes big
enough to hold Thanksgiving turs
key, or tiny enough for single chop.
Next, nearly as important, Is to
grease the bag inside literally, using
butter, lard, oil. drippings or q very
fat rind Of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what 1t is destined to hold. Tho
closer the fit of bag and contents.
the better, and the more even and
compact the lay Of the food, the less
trouble in handling
Use footed wire broiler, or very
open grid-shelf, in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
RI gas oven, 1t must be lighted eight
to ten minutes before putting in the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scorch lightly; then
slacken the heat a third or even half
throughout the rest Of the time OF
cooking.
Be sure to lay the bags In the oven
with the seam uppermost, especially.
If water has been put inside. Seams
will steam open now and then--if the
opening is downward there will be q
leakage and much bother
Finally, it is important to remem-
Der that all manipulation, seasoning
and favoring of food must be at
tended to before it is put in bags.
There can be no stirring or tossing
in the course of paper bag cooking.
Nor must bag BIO opened at any
time during cooking; such action is
absolutely unnecessary IL directions
are faithfully followed.

Aroostook county has paid the $500, 900
of bonds issued in aid of the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad. concerning which we
print on another page an article from
the Aroostook Times. AS an earnest
advocate of this enterprise for years
The Journal rejoices in the showing
made by its contemporary of the good
this road has accomplished in Aroostook
county and of the prospects for greater
prosperity in the future both for the
county and the railroad. The Journal
is primarily gatherer of local news,
but it has ever been interested in what
ever promised to advance Maine, indus
trially, agriculturally, commercially and
morally. The prosperity of any one
section benefits the State as whole.
We are glad to know of Aroostook's
prosperity, of the agricultural develop
ment in progress in Washington county,
of contracts for vessels coming to Bath,
of good catches by our fishermen This
is only carrying out the pledges made
when The Republican Journal Publish
ing Co. was organized in October, 1880,
one of which, penned by W. H. Simp
son, was to '1end helping hand to
every worthy pursuit and enterprise in
which Maine men may be engaged by
sea or land
AS to the Bangor & Aroostook railroad
we acknowledge here, as We have be-
fore, that much of our inspiration and
many of our facts were derived from
Hon. Fred Atwood of Winterport, than
whom Maine never had more loyal son,
and who received scant honor for his
many years of earnest endeavor to pro-
mote the interests of the State. He was
a pioneer in introducing the agricultural
machinery which has lightened the la
Dor of the farmers, and at one time was
known as the Meadow King from now
ing machine largely sold by him. He
made his home town, Winterport, known
all over the country, and in many ways
contributed to its welfare, and merited
higher honors and better fortune than
came to him.
