how much more or less did it cost for

~ An eastern organization has beeh

that business training is essential

Cecil McNew.

As corn has been so badly frost
bitten in this section. il requires a
great deal OF care and attention for
this corn. In gathering, the corn
should be separated. Thoroughly
matured corn should be placed in
one crib and the sappy damaged
corn in another. II will be better
To leave this corn in the field on the
stalk than to put in the crib. II will
dry faster, and the moisture will
evapOrate from the cob much quick
or if left in the field, especially on
the standing stalks.
Corn has been damaged at least
thirty per cent, and much care
should be given to the saving OF the

hogs should be either buried or

should be covered with lime and
covered -four feet deep with dirt.

however. that TO increase the num-
Der of hogs proiitably there must
be ample food supply to keep them

by frequent demonstrations that the
easiest and cheapest way to produce
pork in the south is by furnishing
