FINDS TREES PUMP
WATER TO THEIR TOPS
SCIENTIST TELLS OF DISCOV-
cry BY USE OF ELECTRIC
PROBE. 1T IS INVISIBLE.

PRAGUE.-Sir Jagadas Bose, In
dian scientist, in lecture at Charles
University on the assimilation OF food
by plans related how, by means Of
an electric probe, he discovered that
within a tree which is apparently
placid intense pulsations take place by
which water is pumped to the top OF
the tree.
For the performance of this work
a consumption of energy is necessary.
The green leaves absorb the Carbonic
acid from the air and store up the en-
ergy of the sunlight in the form of
carbohydrates. This process is invisi-
bic and no means heretofore have
been sensitive enough to measure the
rate of the carbon assimilation by
plants.
A new era of scientific advance in
physiology is seen in Sir Jagadas's
electric apparatus, which automatical-
w inscribes the rate of the asslmila-
ton OF carbohydrates, recording even
millionth of a gram. 1t is also be-
lieved that he has solved the question
OF water power assimilation by plants
and that it can be increased by chem
ical treatment. This he accomplished
by the use Of certain chemical sub
stances. some of which, diluted at the
ratio of part in 2,G00,000,000, increas-
es the assimilation power 200 per
cent. Since plant and animal reactions
are similar these results are of i'm
mense importance to practical medl-
cine

NEGROES STUDYING
PERMANENT PASTURES
AMONG BIG DELEGATION CO.
ING TO NEWTON COUNTY
TO SEE LUNSFORD FARM.

One hundred and fifty farmers go
ing from Chatham, Bibb, Henry, La
mar, Pike, Spalding, Troup, Meri-
wether, Clarke, Washington, Rock
dale, Walton and Newton counties
recently motored to Covington to
study the Mr.. Evans Lunsford's past
ure farm.
Seven negro farmers-four demon
strators and two home demonstration
agents, accompanied the farmers to
Coyington with the idea in mind of
selling tc the most progressive negro
farmer IN Georgia the plan OF max
ing permanent pastures.
Mr. Lunsford personally conducted
the visitors over his 100 acres of fine
pasture land. When he explained how
he had started and maintained his
permanent pasture and fed and mark
eted some of the finest Hereford in
the south the negro farmers stood in
silence, drinking in the information
they had come so far to get, but af-
ter group after group had walked over
the 100 acres in pasture and observed
closely the herd of Herefords, as pref
ty as those seen in pictures, the farm
ers began to realize the Importance
of pastures
After a barbecue, furnished by the
canning and farmers clubs Of Newton,
Rockdal. and Walton counties, Mr..
Paul Tabor, pasture expert OF the
State College of Agriculture, gave the
farmers information on how to re-
turn home and do what they had seen
on Mr. Lunsford's farm. A representa-
tive from each of the IS counties
spoke, telling of the information gain
ed and their determination to return
home aud start a permanent pasture.
At a time when negro farmers are
leaving the state in large numbers it
is very significant that agricultural
pursuits of a permanent nature are
being started among the negro farm
ers of Georgia. With permanent pas
lures in Georgia live stock production
will be success and hundreds of ne
gro farmers who have migrated be-
cause Of economic necessities will re-
turn to Georgia, the greatest agricul-
tural state in the union.
There are 80 negro farm and home
demonstration agents in Georgia who
are working under the direction of
Mr. ]. Phil Campbell, director, extern
sion work of Georgia, Georgia State
College of Agriculture, Athens. Last
year these 80 agents, working in 40
counties, carried the message of i'm
proved methods on the farm and in
the home to 161,3 21 farmers, farm
women and boys and girls.

Farmers should be able to raise
hogs and cure the meat at home for
much less than the cost of purchased
meat. Enough meat for home con-
sumption should always be cured.
Where a trade can be established for
country-cured meats it is advisable to
take advantage of the profits to be had
and cure additional meat in connection
with that needed for home consump-
ton.
The first essential in curing work
is to make sure that the carcass is
thoroughly cooled. The ideal temper
ature for meat curing is about SO de-
grees fahrenheit. Meat should not be
allowed to freeze either before or dur
ing the process of curing.
There are two methods OF curing
pork-the dry cure and the sweet
pickle or brine cure The dry cure is
more generally used, as it is simpler
and requires less handling of the meat.
The brine cure is very satisfactory,
however, if the temperature can be
regulated or kept from running up
during the curing period. A tempera-
ture ranging above so degrees fahren-
heit retards the curing and there is
danger of the meat spelling. In cur
ing meat by either method it is advis-
able to rub the surface of the meat
with fine salt and allow it to drain,
flesh side down, for 8 to 10 hours be-
fore the real curing process is started.
If the dry-curing method is to be
used the following mixture is needed.
For each 100 pounds of meat use 8
pounds of salt, 21z pounds of molass-
es or syrup (warmed slightly, z
ounces Of black pepper and ounces

well. rub the meat thoroughly with
the mixture and pack in barrel or
box. On the third day unpack the
meat and repack it to insure thorough
contact with the cure mixture, then
allow it to remain until the cure IS
completed. Small pieces cure more
rapidly than large pieces; therefore, it
is advisable to know the weights OF
the different cuts in order to cure all
pieces properly. Allow two days IN
cure for each pound that the indlvld-
ual pieces of meat weigh; tor exam
pie a IS pound ham will require 81
DAVIS in cure while a 10 pound cut will
require only 20 days. By placing the
heavy cuts at the bottom Of the bar
rel or box it will not be necessary to
move them in taking out the smaller
cuts as they are cured. After the meat
is cured hang it in the smoke house
without washing.
When meat is to be cured by the
sweet-pickle or brine method the tol-
lowing mixture should be prepared
the day before it is to be used, so that
all ingredients will have time to dis
solve. For each 100 pounds OF meat
use 9 pounds OF salt GO pounds If the
weather is warm), 2H pounds of sug-
ar or 4 pounds of molasses or syrup,
2 ounces of sa1tpeter and AZ gallons
of water This mixture should be boil
ed gently for about one hour and set
aside TO cool before using. Be sure
that the mixture is cool when applied
to the meat. Place the hams on the
bottom of the container shoulders
next bacon sides and small cuts. on
TOP. Cover with boards and weight
down with stones or bricks. Do not
use iron weights as the rust would
stain the meat.
