BUSINESS PROMISES
RISE UNDER LANDON
Capital Still Fearful of
Roosevelt's New Deal
Program in u. S.
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Sept. big business
men unquestionably are strongly in
clined to promise q large and imme-
date increase in employment if Gov
ernor Landon Is elected to the White
House.
At the offices of such organizations
as the United States Chamber of Com
MERGE and the National Association
Of Manufacturers, pro-Landon senti-
ment is unmistakable.
It is a commonplace that, while
business itself has been improving for
some time, as reflected in higher di-
vidends and advancing stock market
prices, the number of idle workers
has not been reduced corresponding
ly, nor has there been much of an
upward tendency in workers incomes
to offset mounting living costs. Ma
turally, indeed, wages cannot be ex-
pected to rise appreciably with sc
huge a pool Of .unempl oyment.
COMPELLED TO REPLENISH
The big business version is that its
markets. are better, because folk who
have any money at all, but have been
hanging onto 1t desperately, have SO
far depleted their stores of semi-per-
rnanerft supplies that they simply are
compelled to replenish them.
Also. enormous government spend
ing Is given a share Of the credit.
But capital, big business spokes-
men say, still is afraid of the New
Deal in the long run. Therefore (this
is big business account), though it
takes thankful advantage Of the quail
flied bulge, it hesitates to go into
any great amount of expanding. II

WELL MANAGED FLOCKS
LAY WELL ALI. WINTER

The December and January slump
in egg production experienced by
most North Carolina poultry flocks
cuts heavily into the profits that
should be made during the winter.
This abnormal slump is not found
in good flocks that receive the
proper care and management, said
G. F. Parrish, extension poultry
specialist at State College.
In making study of North Caro-
lima flocks, the extension poultry de-
partment found reason to believe
that much of the slump is due to
poor housing conditions and to err
rors in feeding and management.
The two most common mistakes in
housing are: failure to provide ade-
quate space for the birds and fail
ure to protect them from cold and
drafts, Parrish pointed out.
There should be at least -four
square feet of floor space for each
bird to be housed, he continued
Houses may be kept warm by max
ing them draft-proof, and providing
means of closing the fronts on cole
days and nights.
The most common mistake II
feeding is that of trying to econo
mize, Parrish stated. Many growers
feed no mash or only small amount:

Sugar is sometimes added TO give
better flavor and to counterfeit the
tendency of the salt to harden the
meat Salt peter may be used also
to give the meat natural red color
it has some preservative effect, too
In curing pork, be sure that all
the animal heat has dissipated and
that the meat has not frozen. Do the
curing in a cool, well ventilated
place and, if possible, in a tempera-
ture of "a to 40 degrees fahrenheit,
Nance said.
In the brine cure, for each 100
pounds of meat use IL pounds of
salt, two ounces of salt peter, and six
gallons of water. Boil the water and
allow to cool. If desired, add three
cups of sugar to this formula.
Thoroughly mix the salt, salt peter
and sugar and rub some Of the mix
ture into the hams, shoulders, and
sides Pack all meat in the same
vessel, skin side down, except the
top layer should be skin side up.
Weight the meat down with clean
hard wood or bricks.
Dissolve the rest Of the salt and
other ingredients in the six gallons
of water, before the water has cool
ed. After the solution is COOL, pour It
over the meat in the vessel until all
meat is covered. Repack the meat
on the seventh and 21st days..
When the meat is cured, wash IT
first in hot water and then in cold
water and hang it in the smokehouse
to drip for "a hours before smoking
For the dry cure, use for each roo
pounds of meat: eight pounds of salt,
three ounces of salt peter, and three
pounds of sugar drown preferredy.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly
and rub half the mixture on the
meat, then pack it as for the brine
cure. In seven days repack the meat
and rub, m the other half. The meat
should cure three days for each
pound of weight of each piece: Then
wash it and hang it in the smoke
house.
Smoke the meat with hickory, oak,
or corn coEs to suit the taste. If the
smokehouse is fly-proof and we'll

CUT ONLY INFERIOR OR
DEAD TIMBER FOR FUEL

At this season farmers interested
in improving their woodlands should
60 through their timber stands and
secure their fuelwood by removing
the dead, crippled and diseased trees.
The healthy trees that remain
should be thined lightly so that they
can make straight, vigorous growth,
advise the State College Extension
Service and Charles H. Flory, forest
er of the Soil Conservation Service.
But do not thin too heavily, he
warned, as the light coming through
the tops of the trees should reach
the ground floor of the forest only
in small spots. AS the sun passes
overhead the lighted spots will grad
ually move, thus any one place on
the ground will not be dried out too
much.
Although young trees growing un-
der older ones need a certain amount
of light, too much light will do more
damage than good, and if too many
trees are taken out of the stand the
wind and sun will dry the soil and
prevent seeds from terminating or
kill delicate shoots that have started
to grow.
The sun also gives grass better
chance to grow. This growth, Flory
said, prevents seeds from reaching
the soil and completes with the
young trees in their fight for plant
food.
In natural woods there is an
abundance of shrubby vegetation,
wild grasses, and weeds. Grazing of
woodlands not only destroys this
protecting vegetation, but also packs
the ground by trampling and thus
increases the run-off water, which
would otherwise be largely absorbed
where it falls.

Mrs. BOst Lowers Estimate by
One Million Dollars; About
$4,000 Needy People

A cool million dollars was pared
Saturday from the original estimate
of the price North Carolina will
have to pay to participate in the So
cial security program.
Mrs. w. T. Bost, commissioner OF
charities and public welfare, told
delegates to the Central District
Welfare conference, in session in Ra-
leigh at that time that the program
would cost the State between $4,000
900 and 100000 annually.
Her original estimate, made re-
Gently before the State Advisory
Budget commission, was between
$4,OOO,OOO and $5,OOO,000. No other
North Carolina official has made a
statement on the cost OF social Sc
curity.
Around 1900 Needy
The public welfare commissioner
said there were approximately IT,
600 needy persons IS years OF age
or older in North Carolina who
would be eligible to receive old age
pensions. There are about an equa
number of needy dependent chill
dren, she asserted.
1.-THE cost of social security in 9th
er States, reduced to base compar
able to North Cardinals had proved
to be about $4,000,0O0 year," Mrs
Bost said.
DR.. Howard Odum, dean of thu
University of North Carolina schoo
of public administration, warned
that social security may be al
'epochal term" or "whimsica
technique" depending upon hov
well it is administered by the Stat
agencies responsible for it.
