Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of

the discussion OF the best rotations
Not until you get clover or some
other legume into your scheme of

ton that pays dividends in bigger
crops. Many farmers think they are
keeping up to date and farming scien-
tifically il they have five or ten acres
in alfalfa and get stand Of clover on
a twenty or thirty-acre field once in
two or three years. This is serious
mistake. The productivity Of q farm
Is not being kept up on permanent
basis unless annually at least one
fourth OF that farm is made to grow
legumes, which are either plowed IN

HACIENDA TAMALES
Tomales are combinations of meat
and corn tied up and cooked in a
corn hUsk. The native variety is
made with ground huIIed corn.
Coarse corn. meal is now commonly
used.
To make the lye for huIling corn,
add 1 ounce of lime to 1 quart of
water and drain off the water, after
the lime has dissolved and settled.
Pour this over 1 pound of shelled
corn, add enough water to cover, and
boil until the skins will slip from the
kernels. Remove all the skins, and
wash the corn several times in clear
water.
Next prepare the corn husks for
wrapping the tamales. Select the
finest hUsks, cut them from the cob
and boil them in order to sterilize
them. Then dry the husks and rub
them with melted lard.
Stew a chicken until tender, adding
seasonings of onion, salt and mar
joram, if desired. Cut the seeds and
strings from Is chiIes and stew the
pulp with the chicken. Cut the meat
in sections, and thicken the gravy
with little flour.
Put 2 quarts Of the huIled corn
through a meat chopper, add 2 table
spoons butter and season with salt
and pepper. Fill a clean oiled corn
husk with the chicken stew, and
wrap around it 8 other husks filed
with the huIled corn. Tie up the ends
of the roll with strips of husk and
steam 2 hours. '.-~
