Ham and Bacon Show
If you have some good sugar cured
ham or bacon why not enter them in
the show which is to be held in con-

Some OF, the farmers who showed
corn at the corn show at Keytesville
are planning to take some good corn
to this show at Columbia.
As this is the beginning of hog kill
ing time it might be that you might
be interested rin some of the recipes
for sugar curing pork though most of
you may have a method you think is
good.
If we can help you along this line
in any way call the Farm Bureau Of

Announcement has just been sent
to all Farm Bureaus in Missouri that
the Live Stock Marketing Committee
of fifteen which was appointed about
a year ago by the American Farm
Bureau Federation has completed
their plans for the establishment OF
live stock cooperative commission
houses in all terminal markets. All
arrangements have been made AMI
offices have been secured for the
opening of one of these sales agen-
cies in east st. Louis, Jan. 1. This
cooperative commission house will
be run on a strictcly cooperative
basis and will be the official re-
ceiving point for live stock going te

OF Interest to Women
Miss ROCKFORD, who has been in
Charlton County at different times
has promised us the week commenc-
ing November 28th for series Of
meetings with farm women giving
demonstrations in saving and re-
pairing of household furnishings and
equipment. At this time when far
mers all speak of being short OF mon
ey, demonstrations showing how 20
keep in good repair the things we
have in our homes should be of spe-
cial Importance. Arrangements have
already been made for demonstrations
to be given in the vicinity Of Roth
vile, Sumner, New Conner, Dalton
and the Jordan district west of Key
tesville. One other day yet remains
open and this will probably be
scheduled at the Trent school dis-l
frict northwest Of Salisbury.
