STEADY QUICK WORK REQUIRED
 TO DRY CORN

Dried sweet corn is a delicious food fully equal, if not superior, to canned corn, and capable of use for practical ly as wide a variety of purposes. Any of the varieties of sweet corn having qualities desirable for table use will make a good dried product. Corn intended for drying should be gather ed when in the milk stage, before glazing and> hardening have begun and when the corn is in an ideal con- dition for immediate table use. II should be gathered only as rapidly as it can be prepared for drying, as corn deteriorates rapidly.
 Husk the ears and trim with knife to remove any injuries. The silk need not be removed, as it can be readily separated from the corn after drying. Place the ears in wire bas- kets or wire bottom boxes and plunge into boiling water for 3 to 12 minutes. or until the milk is set. \ little salt may be added to the blanching water if desired. Divide the corn into older and younger lots before blanching, as the younger ears require somewhat longer cooking than the older ones.
 After cooking, remove corn from the water, allow it to drain and cool sufficiently to be handled and cut from the cobs with a strong sharp knife, taking care that none of the cob is removed with the kernels. The giumes or the hull attachments at the tip of the grains are easily screened out after the corn becomes dry Spread the kernels upon trays to a depth of one inch if drying is done in a drier, or one-eighth to five eighths inch if the corn is to be dried in the sun. Stir the grains thor oughly several times during the dry ing to break up any compact masses.
 It is practically impossible to bring corn to a sufficient degree of dryness by the unaided heat of the sun. If corn is dried in the sun, it should be finished by pouring into bread pans, placing in the oven of the stove, and warming to 16O degrees to 165 de- grees F. for two hours. Whether the drying is done in the sun, in a cook stove drier, or in a commercial drier. 1t should be continued until the grains are hard, semi-transparent and will break with clean glass-like frac- lures if crushed.
 Before storing, free the corn of silks. glumes and bits of cob. This may be done by pouring the corn from one vessel to another in a strong draft. When the corn is dry, store in closely woven muslin bags or heavy paper bags. Tie tightly at the neck and place within a larger muslin bag, which also should be tightly tied.
 Do not allow the drying process to stop from the time it is started until the corn is fairly dry. Corn is a product which contains considera ble sugar and protein, and if the drying process is allowed to stop, bacteria are apt to develop. Protect it from Insects. If sun drying is interrupted by cloudy weather or showers, remove corn to the stove and continue drying or the product may spoil-U. s. De- partment of Agriculture.

PROSPERITY FOR NEGROES UPON
 RETURN SOUTH
Farmers and Planters of Dixie Willing To Pay
 Transportation.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 19.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press) - Plenty. of farm and mill work, better wages than ever before paid and improved living conditions await Southern negroes who have gone to the North and who are said to be clamoring to return to the South, ac- cording to employers here.
 Southern farmers and plantation owners want the Southern negroes back. If there were some method of getting in touch with them it Is declared the expense of their return to Dixie would be willingly borne. This will hold especially true for the next few weeks, because there Is need of negroes who know how to take care of the cotton crop.
 But these employers say they dc not want northern-born and reared negroes: They would prefer to bring in foreign labor, they assert.
 ''We would not hesitate to pay the expenses of a hundred or more ne- groes from Chicago or other Northern cities to our place if we can gej Southern negroes, particularly negroes who have gone from Mississippi, Ar kansas and Tennessee said A. C. Lange, vice president and genera, manager of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, which owns more than 70, 900 acres of timber and agri- cultural lands in Northeastern Ar kansas. 'I think it is safe to say that every Southern negro in the North would be brought back without expense to him if Southern farmers and plantation owners knew where and how to get in touch with the Southern-born. We don't want and will not have Northern negrOes''

ABOUT BOARD OF TRADE

Editor Cordele Dispatch
want to commend you for your eff
forts to organize live and progress
sive Chamber of Commerce or Board
of Trade for Cordele and also | want
to add that | believe your efforts dis
couraging the planting f 50 much
cotton and to raise more peanuts
next season are Intelligent and the
only safe thing for our farmers to do.
Along this line | want to suggest
that should Chamber of Commerce
be organized that the first move they
make is to secure Il small peanut Oil
refining plant and a peanut butter
factory for Cordele and this section
! OF course, the two plants mentioned
are unknown to the average man in
this country but we all do know that
other cities far separated from the
peanut raising sections have such
enterprises and that our Crisp County
grown peanuts are shipped to distant
cities and there made into butter and
crushed and refined into cooking oil
and then shipped back to Cordele the
consumer paying the freight two ways
and another city getting the benefit
of all profits and pay,rolls.
Unless something is done to bring
manufacturers to Cordele our little
city will remain like one of the small
stars-always bright but small. and
small indeed, as compared with some
OF our sister cities that are awake
with strong board of trade inviting
! foreign capital to invest with them

BUILDING is VITAL.

Reconstruction plans Of the Depart

perhaps the greatest development of

A greater and better America is the
object of this vast campaign. The

the department will mean a transition
from war to Il peace basis: it will fur
nish employment for Il large numbers
of the men to be demobilized from the

the time for him to begin an invest
ment in a home.
Building, in short, is an important
part of the Governments plan for
peace. Stopped during the war, this
industry is far behind its normal con-
dition.
Nearly every town and city in the
country needs new building; nearly
every city in the country needs new
houses. The people of America have
been living in close quarters. They
must have more air, more sunlight,
more green fields, more natural free
dom.
Plans are under way to create de
mands for homes, to start work on
public buildings and to encourage pri
vate building on a large scale.
Everyone can cooperate in this
great task It is a job for the business
man the workers, everybody in the
community.
Reconstruction must be made liter
al, the Department of Labor believes
There must be reconstruction of that
which is Anticipated and obsolete, and
new construction to supply the Ma
TONS need Of new homes.
Wartime labor requirements made
new building, except upon Govern
ments works, out of the question, and
as a result Americas population is
living in TOO close quarters. Moreover
the cessation of building has caused
increases in rents until they have be-
come in many places absolutely ex-
orbitant.
For the national good, this retarda-
ton in the normal housing program
must be more than made up. In max
ing it up, there will be created a need
fer labor that will assure employment

brayely to make the world safe for

Saturdays and Sundays.
In the spring OF 1918 the four
teen pigs were sold at auction az
the county site for $500, which
was divided among the schools

and grounds.
Last fall the county superin-

the Board of Education and secur-
ed from them funds with which to
purchase fourteen purebred pigs.
The county agent was given the
