Farm Questions
And Answ ers

QUESTION: How can 1 pre-
serve or save the extra beef on
the farm?
ANSWER: All beef left after
a killing and usual distribution
may be corned and put aside for
future use. Cut the meat into
five or six pounds chunks and
rub with salt. Then pack into a
clean vessel of hardwood of stone
ware and cover with a pickle
made with one and one-half
pounds of salt, one ounce of salt
peter, one-fourth pound of sugar
or syrup, and one gallon Of pure
water. Leave the meat in cure
for about two weeks and then
smoke to improve flavor. The
rounds are usually allowed to
hang for some time to dry out.
ANSWER: The commercial
4-8-3 mixture is the one most
generally used and with best
results. Apply 200 pounds of this
mixture to each 100 square yards
of bed space. If a lower grade
fertilizer is used it should be sup
plemented with from so to 100
pounds of cottonseed meal, pro-
vided the meal is thoroughly
mixed with the soil. Broadcast
the fertilizer on the bed and
thoroughly mix it with tn upper
three or four inches of the soil.
Do not use tobacco trash or ma
nure containing tobacco leaves,
stalks of roots on the beds.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Over the Northwestern part Of
the United States the RED fox has
to be quick-witted and ready to
learn new tricks. Life for many
years has been one that calls for
intelligent scheming. For man has
found much pleasure in hunting the
red fox. In England for centuries
no effort has been spared in af-
fording the red fox of that country
miserable existence during the
months when hunting for their
"brushes" was the outstanding
manly sport.
Fox hunting has taught man that
the red fox is cunning and much
more clever than the dogs, and some
of those astride horses have been
willing to admit this fact and have
given him credit,
The old foxes that have learned
to escape the hunters have a dozen
or more bits of strategy and may
add few new stunts if occasion
permits. Only youngster may
race straight to its home, thus plac-
ing the cards in the hands of the
foe. That red foX's parents must
have passed on before the education
of their baby had been completed.
Watch an older fox and see how
many circles within circles are
made, retracing of steps, confusion
Of footprints, leaping of low brush
and the jumping to a high fence
upon which travelling can be ac-
complished swiftly, using it as
springing board for a high Jump
ever the heads of his tormentors.
There is weak spot in their tao
tics that is used successfully against
them. They do resort to familiar
and tried runWays and especially
through swamps and valleys where
they think they can reach a place
Of safety before being overtaken.
Hunters have gone out into the
red foxes haunts and by sitting very
still have seen them creep from a
hidden place, travel along the hills
and across fields, imagining them
selves alone. Looping along, these
creatures show grace of movement
and perfect coordination.
The mating moon is in February.
The love-song is soulful ditty sung
by the female, and it sounds beau
tiful to her suitor only. The red
fox is among the most faithful hus-
bands in the animal world, his af-
fection for his children and evident
pleasure in the company of his wife
placing him first on the honor roll.
The young are born in April and
there are from four to nine of them.
The parents excavate the den and
furnish it. Of from the large
nursery there may be spare room.
This is not used for guests, but for
food storage.

buying such voluntary annuity
would pay his subscription in small,
regular installments. The plan
under consideration, 1t Is UNDER
stood would provide that annuities
be sold through post ofnces in the
same manner that postal savings
and baby bonds are handled.
Convinced Cost Could Be Lowered.
Senator Wagner is understood to
be convinced such annuities could
be handled by the Government at
a substantially lower cost than pri.
vate annuities could be obtained.
When the original social security
bill was being drafted several years
ago Senator Wagner included in
1t a provision along the same gen.
eral lines Of the plan now being
considered, but 1t was eliminated
before the measure passed.
1t Is more than likely a bill to
bring about the proposed extension
Of the act will be ready for in
PRODUCTION when Congress recon-
venes in January. The fact that
Senator Wagner introduced the
original law has given rise to a be-
lief in congressional circles that the
program for widening the scope Of
its benefits also is being worked out
IN consultation with the White
House. The Senator was said re-
liably to have discussed the annuity
with President Roosevelt recently

Wagner Drafts Plan
For Social Security
Voluntary Annuities
Old-Aee Protection
Would Be Available
To Any Who Contributed
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

A plan for extension of the So
cial Security law to enable thou
sands of persons still outside the
system to provide for their old age
by voluntarily buying annuities from
the Federal agency is being drafted
by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York, 1t became known today.
1t is understood to be the inten-
ton to make this added form Of
old-age protection available to any
one who wishes to make the neces-
sary contributions.
Its primary purpose, however,
would be to make governmental So
cial security possible for the large
groups of citizens not covered by
the existing wage-earners' COM
pulsory pay roll tax. for retirement
payments after they reach IS.
Administration Believed Interested
The largest groups not reached by
the present law are small store
keepers and other self-employed in
dividuals, agricultural workers and
domestics. 1t is estimated the ex-
pansion of the existing program to
these three classes would affect
about 100000 persons.
While the details of the new bill
are being worked out by Senator
Wagner, co-sponsor of the original
Social Security Act, there are in
dications that the administration
itself is interested in obtaining
broader application of social Sc
curity benefits to citizens gener-
ally.
The voluntary plan probably will
be limited to annuities of $1,000 q
year or less, but exact provisions oi
the bill have not yet been decided
upon. Presumably. the individual,

commented.
1t was pointed out it Is not so
easy to get the courts to condemn
q house in Washington as insani-
tary. Since 1922, when the courts
levied the cost on the District
Government. the law has not been
enforced. Mr.. 1hlder explained it
Is just as cheap for the Government
to buy the property and a better
policy. since the money otherwise
would go to the owner for recondi-
tioning the building.
Close by on v street, the neat
semi-circle of brick homes built by
the Alley Dwelling Authority last
year offered a marked contrast and
hopefully demonstrated what can
be done to clean up unlivable con-
ditions.
In the area the A. D. A. has been
developing for three years. private
enterprise is beginning to show its
interest. There also is the Willis
ton Apartments, built by the A. D.
A., and some of the stores in the
neighborhood have been recondi-
toned. Across the street from the
model V street homes, a private
company is erecting brick apartment
houses on newly acquired lot.

The square also illustrated, he ex-

to perpetuate slum conditions.
Portions OF areas containing rather
good slum homes cannot be ac-
quired because of the $l50 limita-
tion per square foot which is a U. S.
H. A. rule for acquiring property.
Admittedly, some of the proper
ties In the higher priced areas are
standard. An old converted
church building is now occupied by
six families. A coal yard on Fourth
street near v, several stores and
houses which cannot be acquired
because OF relatively high costs are
omitted from the site for the new
housing project.
Mr.. 1hlder said the tenants OF the
l8 new A. D. A. homes pay rentals
from $24.50 to $26 month which
are comparable and in some cases
lower than families living in SUBJ
