Be a Good Sport

Fishing and hunting are the
most ancient industries Of man.
They existed long before agri-
culture. When a man fishes, he
answers the call of the wild in
herited from barbaric ancestors.
No real sportsman ever catch

be eaten. To do so is vandal-

All anglers know that the

This Bill Should Pass

The bill offered Friday in
the Senate by Senator Pace,
from this district, providing for
an experimental station located
preferably in Americas for the
specific purpose of ascertaining
and reducing to practice the par
ticular procedure necessary for
the production and preparation
of Georgia peaches for cans
ming" SHOULD PASS.
Not only should it pass, but
it should carry with it an APP
preparation sufficient to make
the station Immediately effec-
tive.
The station should be indie
pendent of any other depart
ment of the state government,
absolutely divorced from poll
tics of any and every nature.
Over it there should be a
board of directors composed of
five, seven or nine men, com
posed of two or three peach
growers, an able and far-sight-
ed banker, one practical whole
sole dealer in canned goods and
a marketing or distributing exc
pert.
There's more in peaches than
you'll find in the can. 1t may
be that Georgia peaches are SUI
perior to California peaches
on the TREES or in crates; but
the buying public must be
SHOWN that Georgia CAN
NED peaches are as good or
better than those from Califor-
MIA.
Don't cuss the buying public
because they buy California
canned peaches. Cuss the men
who have canned inferior Geor-
gia peaches. They have given
the canned peach the reputation
it has.
Whenever Georgia produces
CANNED peaches as good or
better than those from else
where, then Georgians will buy
Georgia canned peaches; Geor-
gia wholesale grocers will stock
them and their salesmtn will
place them in grocery store.
restaurant and hotel.
Our first job in Georgia -
and Sumter county--is to learn
HOW to can or otherwise pre-
serve our surplus peach crop.
Until that knowledge is ours, we
cannot win.
The world wants and is will
ing to pay for SUPERIOR
product. There's little demand
anywhere for the inferior.
Sumter county's loss in peach-
es this year, according to one
we'll informed grower, is around
half million dollars. The same
is true, to a greater or lesser
extent, in dozens of other coun>
ties in the States. A few thous.
and dollars expended now by
the State in experimental and
investigation work by able ex-
perts may prevent a similar ca.
tastrODhe next wear.
The State, through the Agri-
cultural College, has fostered
canning clubs for several years.
Our young people have been.
taught the best methods of
HOME canning. but speaking
by and large, we know nothing
of commercial canning,
There are men in this coun-
try Of ours who have both the
BRAIN and the EXPERIENCE
to lead our peach industry out
of the woods" Jumping into this
canning proposition unaided by
expert advice and guidance
will not solveit.
The experimental station pro-
posed by Senator Pace is a step
in the right direction and the bill
should pass Immediately if max
inum results are TO be obtained.

EXTREMES OF JUSTICE


The hanging in Canada a few
days ago of an American youth
named Walter Muir is a case in
point. The young man, it is
said convinced practically all OF
the officials of the court, that
the killing for which he was con
victed was accidental. In pro-
tecting q cripple from an assault
by another man, he shot to
frighten the assailant, and the
bullet was DETECTED in such
way as to take the life of the
man making the attack.
In an American court, all these
considerations would have fig
ured. In Canada it was murder,
and it is next to impossible for
one charged with that capital Of

penalty of the law, even though
courts be convinced that the
prisoner is only technically

Z The moist, cut surfaces of dressed
meats, poultry, and fish offer particu-
larly favorable conditions for the
growth of micro-organisms that cause
putrefactlon; therefore, every precau-
tion should be taken to keep such
foods clean, cold and dry, warns a
new Farmers Bulletin, 1874, entitled
Scare of Food in the Home" which
may be obtained by applying to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Washing Meats Hastens Spollage.
The bulletin goes on to say that
cuts of meat from the market should
be unwrapped as soon as delivered,
any visible dirt wiped or scraped off,
and the meat then placed in a clean,
dry, covered dish in the refrigerator
or cold storeroom. Washing draws the

age and should never be done until
just before cooking. The curing of
meats on the farm is discussed in
other bulletins. The edible organs,
such as liver, sweetbreads, and brains,
spoil more easily than the ordinary
cuts of meat and should be handled
The Colorado statesman., 1924-03-29
Should Every Keep

with particular care and used
promptly.
Fish loses its fresh flavor and spoils
even more quickly than most meats.
Since the flavor is likely to be abb
sorbed by other foods, 1t should be
put into the refrigerator only in a
tightly-covered container. Shellfish,
with the exception of the kinds held
alive until used, should be kept like
other sea food, as nearly Ice cold as
possible.
Undrawn Poultry Keeps Best.
For marketing, undrawn poultry
generally keeps better than that from
which the entrails are removed, but
under home conditions poultry should
generally be drawn at once after
singeing and thoroughly washing to
remove dirt, oil, and flakes of scarf
skin. In drawing poultry, the contents
of the intestines should not be al
lowed to come in contact with the
meat, lest it become infected with dan
gerous micro-organisms. The bird or
the pieces into which it has been cut
should then be rinsed again, drained
well or wiped with a clean cloth, and
kept cold until cooked.

Roll of Grocer's Paper
Very Useful in Kitchen

The cook needs a piece of paper on
which to drain the dried croquettes,
the fritter, or the doughnut, and she
reaches out for the brown paper that
came around the meat. She turns to
the same source when she wishes pa
per for lining a cake pan. little
reflection, the Department of Agricul-
ture suggests, will show how far from
cleanly is this practice. In every
kitchen a roll of grocers paper on
Its frame will prove useful. You are
then sure of having paper that has not
been handled since it was rolled up
by machinery in the factory. Parafhn
paper should be on hand for covering
food, for wrapping up sandwiches for
school lunches, and for similar pur-
poses.
Newspapers cut into pieces Of con-
yenient size or old catalogues, II

BAKED BEANS WITH
VARIOUS FLAVORS
Recipe Furnished by Depart
nent of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrcuture.)
Baked beans may be cooked in many
ways. Here Is a recipe furnished by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
Cook the dried beans gently until
the skins begin to break, then drain
off the water. Put a layer of beans
in a bean pot or deep earthen dish,
and on this layer, in the center of the
dish, place piece of salt pork ("streak
of fat and streak of lean", having
the rind side up, using 1 quart of
beans, half pound of pork. The rind
should be scored. Fill up the dish
with the beans, add seasonings and
water to cover the beans.
The simplest seasoning for beans Is
1 tablespoonful of salt and half tea
spoonful of pepper to quart of beans.
Mix the salt and pepper with the wa
ter. If liked, tablespoonful of mus
tard may be added as well as an
onion and a tablespoonful or more of
molasses. Instead of the pork piece
of salt or fat beef or mutton may be
employed. In this case there should
be from 11s to 2 pounds of the meat
to a quart of beans. If fresh meat
be used, add more salt to the beans.
If salt meat is used, probably one tea
spoonful of salt will be enough. When
mutton is employed, trim off every
particle of the skin.
Bake the beans in very moderate
oven for s or 10 hours. Add little
boiling water from time to time. but
never enough to bring the water be
yond the top of the beans. Any KIND
of bean may be baked in this manner
However, the small pea bean is the
best for Boston baked BEANS" The
lima and large white beans are best
for the deep earthen dish. Do not
cover the beans while baking.
Other fiavors liked with baked beans
nre those supplied by tomato sauce,
tomato catsup, brown gravy and mush-
room sauce.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-03-29

Never store honey in damp cellar.
1t absorbs moisture and Will become
thin and in time lose Its flavor ana
sour. Where salt remains dry, honey
will keep. If honey becomes grainy
or candies, place the can or pail in
hot water when 1t will become clear.
Do not keep it too long in hot water
as 1t spoils the flavor, color and aroma,
When travelling with bottles of liquid
dip the corks in melted paraffin and
the contents will never be spilled.
One can carry candle and always
have them safely sealed.
When making a meringue for lemon
pie, take tablespoonful of cold wa
ter for each egg white. This increases
the amount without changing the
quality. When the meringue is ready
add pinch OF baking powder and
beat well. This helps to keep II
from shrinking. or falling when taken
from the oven.
The best cuts of meat will be seen
and bought by the woman doing her
own marketing. Best does not mean
the highest in price, but best for the
money. She will also learn from talk
ing with the clerks and market men
much about foods and from an intel
ligent butcher learn many things
about choosing meat.
Honey makes a good sweetening for
cakes. cookies, and puddings. Grated
lemon rind as well as orange rind
Is good with honey dishes.
When making pumpkin pie use
honey for sweetening and have dis
t,ctiyely different pumpkin pie.
During the early spring 1t Is hard to
find n variety in vegetable especially
in the cold climates, as the winter
vegetables which have been stored are
losing their flavor and hot house foods
are too expensive for the average
nocketboo,i. Here is dessert one may
try for change:
steamed Strawberry Shortcake.-
sift two and one-half cupfuls of flour
three teaspoonfuls Of baking powder
and one-fourth of a teaspoonful OF
salt. cut in one-fourth Of a cupful OF
butter. beat one egg and add 1t with
one cupful of milk and one-half cup
fuI of sugar. Mix well, turn into
buttered mold, steam three hours
Serve with whipped cream ano
crushed strawberries.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-03-29

bouillon cubes to be used In number
less ways. A chicken soup of the
canned variety may be used with
slight thickening and addition OF
cream poured over hot toast well but
tered, making a fine luncheon or sup
per dish.
For stufiing green peppers to bake'
use some form of good soup with
bread crumbs, draining Off the thin
part of the soup and using for sauce
to serve with the peppers If so de-
sired.
Fricasseed Eges.-Take six hard
cooked eggs cut crosswise into four
thick slices, one cupful of good stock,
made from beef or canned consomme,
one teaspoonful of butter, one small
onion finely minced, one tablespoonful
Of minced parsley, two teaspoonfuls Of
flour, salt and pepper to taste. Cook
the onion in the butter, stir in the
flour, and when it bubbles add The
stock. When it Is boiling hot, lay In
the eggs gently, not to break them.
Cook three or four minutes, season
to taste and serve sprinkled with
parsley. Serve on strips Of fried
bread.
Eggs In Nest-Cut rounds of bread.
Heap on the white of egg beaten stiff
and drop the egg yolk in the white.
Dot with butter, season well and place
in oven to set the egg. The season
ing and butter may be added as 1t Is
taken from the oven.
Scrambled Eges.-Pour a cupful of
rich milk into saucepan, add as many
eggs as are needed, stir and cook until
the eggs are set and well broken.
Season with salt and pepper, adding
generous spoonful of butter. Serve
very hot with fried bacon.
