Manager Reynolds Makes Report Regarding the
S4SS Needs of Installing Adequate Water
System for City
PROSPECTS GOOD
College Should Have Heavy Line and
Light But Fast Backs.

That Alma college will have a foot
ball team far stronger than that of
last year, is regarded by those who
have looked over Coach Steele's ma
terial, as certainty, and there is
every expectation that the line will
be unusually heavy and the backfield
light but fast.
Some of the line material is of
such weight that it would possibly
delight even the heart of Coach Yost,
if it were at Michigan. Some of the
material, Of course, is green to col
lege football, being in the entering
class of freshmen, but there is every
probability that long before the sea-
son has closed Coach Steele will have
pounded real football knowledge into
it, and then have pounded it into a
capable grid machine.
The line material is a surprise, af-
ter the light material that Alma had
last year. In Highman, Steele has a
man who will tip the scales at about
220 pounds. He has never played
football, but is showing an eagerness
to learn the job, and probably will
develop into good guard or center.
In McNaughton of Croswell and
Washburn of Inlay City Steele has
two> other real heavy-weights who
have had plenty of high school ex-
perience and who should show con-
siderable during their first season.
Another rev man, whose ability AL
ma people know, is Brewer, the for
mer sensational st. Louis high school
star. There is no question, but what
Brewer will make a highly valuable
man for the Maroon and Cream, if he
continues his work of former years
and shows the Improvement that he
should in the college game.
Among the old men who are back,
and who should again be able to grab
off positions on the grid machine are
Baribeau Of the 1916 and~1917 elev-
ems, who has twice been named on
the All NJ. l, A. A. football honor
team; Walker, named last year on
the second All NJ |. A. A. team at
fullback; Jimmy Beattie, the clever
little back from Detroit Northwest
ern whose eligibility was in ques-
tion last year; Naggoner, center
and Rose, who played both guard and
end on last years aggregation.
1t is still difficult matter to de-
termine what the lineup of this
years aggregation will be, but il
will not be at all surprising to see a
line that will go about 200 pounds
from tackle TO tackle, and about 1876
pounds from end to end
The backfield probably will be
light, but those who remember the
work of Beattie and Walker in the
closing games of the season last
year, are certain that if Steele car
locate suitable running mates for
them, the backfield will be fast. with
ability to gain ground on punching
the line or on end runs. It will also
have ability to handle the aerial
game in good style.
Efforts to get a game for this
week on the local field have so fan
failed, but one may yet be secured
with Mt. Pleasant Normal. Next
week it is expected that the aepre.
gation will meet either Ferris Insti.
tute or Detroit Junior College here.

LIVING COST REDUCED
 BY HOME CURED MEAT

Many Arkansas farmers will find 1t profitable this winter to sell some of their market hoy.s to themselves in the form of home cured meats, declares Turner Wright, farm agent in marketing of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 'sReat made on the farm from ] home grown hogs which otherwise would have to be sold at current market prices will be far cheaper than meat purchased at prevailing prices with money received from the sale of other crops grown on the farm," says MT. Wright. If meat needed for family use is cured or the farm, 1t will go a long way in making money received from the sale of other crops available for the purchase of other necessities ano at the same time do much to reduce the credit account at the grocery store during the next season.
 'There was a time when the arl of home curing meat was knowr and practised on almost every farm where weather conditions during the fall and winter months are fav- orable, but many farmers in later years seem to have lost the art ol got out of practice.
 Perhaps some of the most i'm

portant reasons why more farmers do not cure their meat for home use today are the work and trouble con nected with the old time hog killing day on the average farm, the risk of less from spoilage while curing, and unsatisfactory experiences with strong or rancid faeat due to a lack of experience or a knowledge of good curing meteas, There is no need of making hog killing day one of Ctf4adgery or worry. Good equipe ment and cooperation among the farmers of a community will elimi- nate most of the difficulties.
 "The Agricultural Extension Di- vision of the University of Arkansas has some good recipes for curing meats and will be glad to give in. formation concerning good curing methods to any one who will write to the Extension Division offices ir Little Rock for them A good sup. ply of home cured meat, particular ly of home cured hams, will be g source of satisfaction and profit during the next few months"
 Much work is being done in Ar kansas by the county home demon stration agents in meat curing anc canning this year. They are always ready and anxious toaid any one ir canning and curing their own meat and have a list of available recipes for home curing.

SWEETS IN
 GOOD STORAGE PLANTS

Arkansas is keepig pace with other sweet potato growing states in the 1 building of modern potato curing
 plants and within the last year cur | ing houses at seven different towns
 in the state have been built with a total capacity of 82,000 bushels, besides smaller plants that have reep erected on the farms of the state. ~
 Government reports show ~
 per cent increase in sweet potato
 storage facilities for the year or
 1920. It is estimated that about
 5000 900 bushels of sweet potatoes
 have been kiln dried and are now being held for more favorable prices.
 Arkansas has her share of thls val uable product in storage. W. H:
 Laney, assistant marketing agent of
 the Agricultural Extension Division
 of the University of Arkansas who
 is assisting the sweet potato farm CTS in providing modern means of storage, reports large curing plants at the following cities in the state :; Hope, 5000 bushel capac1ts.; Ash down, 12,0OO bushels; DeQueI-n h. 1O,0OO bushels; Prescott, 5000 bush els; Crossett, 10000 bushels; Ben tonyille, 10000 bushels; and Dar- denelle, 10000 bushels.
 Some of these houses are not fill ed to capacity, but they are taking care of large quantity of potatoes which are keeping in good condition. This good storage will probably en able the farmers of those communi-l ties to get peter returns from their potatoes by marketing later in the season,
