Of the federal grand jury. is IN ex-
tensiye planter and merchant IN his

meat got around 20 cents pound the
proposition became serious. an ordin.
ary family requiring seven pounds OF
meat q week ut the minimum.
Mr.. Cunningham did some Studying
Of the balanced ration theory. and Or
dered 5000 pounds Of rice. and substi-
tuted elk pounds Of rice for three
pounds Of meats. It worked % well
that some Of his tenants Of the wiser
sort bave cut their meat ration down
to only pound or 90 Of meat. Just
enough to make gravy for their rice.
and are entirely pleased with the
regime. .4
It is figured that an ordinary colored
