1949 Auto Production

The SO automobile manufacturers
in the United States set a new pro-
duction record in 1949 by turning
out $3.50, 900 cars, trucks, and
buses. This tops the previous rec
ord, set in 1929, by almost a million
vehicles. The year 1949 saw many
other records tumble. An.time
highs were reached in the number
of vehicles in use, total highway
travel, and special taxes paid by
motorists. The only declines re-
ported by the encyclopedias re-
search department were in the
manufacture of replacement parts
for older vehicles. and a drop in au-
tomobile exports to foreign lands.
This drop in export was due to for
eign countries setting up restric-
tive barriers to conserve their
dwindling supply of dollars.

County Wide Rat Campaign
On Individual Farm:
1t is the time of year that rats
are leaving the fields and coming
to the barns where corn and other
grain are stored. If allowed to go
uncontrolled rats will cause con-
siderable loss during the winter.
With a new compound known as
Warfarin Compound AZ, which has
recently been released by the u.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
use in killing rats and mice, it is
believed by our state Entomolo-
gist that this material far exceeds
any other rat poison on the mar
ket and it is safe to handle due to
the fact that there has not been
any danger to human lives, dogs
or cats on the farms. We can Sc

Hog killing:

Hog Killing:
For the best tasting pork, as
well as safeguarding this valuable
product, use the best methods for
killing, curing and storing.
rcg killing time is after a frost,
with the temperature between 80
and 40 degrees. Those using cur
ing plants can butcher any time OF
the year, but it is important to
take the carcasses to the plant
promptly.
Select for killing, fast growing
animals which weigh between 200
ana 25O pounds.
Never excite an animal just be-
fore slaughter. 1t is best not to
shoot or stun hogs. Get a good
stick with a six-inch knife so the
animal will bleed hurriedly and
thoroughly.
For barrel scalding, 3 buckets of
hot water and | of cold will give
the right temperature. Too hot
water sets the hair.
When the animal is thoroughly
clean hang up the carcass and
spill it into halves. Lit out the
blanket OF internal leaf fat for
quicker chilling.
Hot carcasses are difficult to cut,
but the animal may be cut while
still hot. But do not stack hot
meat, spread it out to chill.
One VINO can successfully cure
meat should not change his me-
thod. Remember, the line between
salty enough" and too salty is a
thin one.
With the dry cure method, use
one and one-fourth ounces OF cure
to each pound of meat for ham
and shoulder. This is about 81
pounds of mixture per 100 pounds
of meat.
Commercial curing compounds
are satisfactory.
To make a curing mixture, use
8 pounds of salt, l pound Of sugar, !
end 2 ounces Of saltpeter. Apply
this SIS at the rate Of IA ounces
per pound OF meat.
Time ration for curing is 2 days
for each pound of meat. Six weeks
is usually long enough, but the
least number of days is Is.
See the county agent for addi-
tional information about making
sausage, smoking meat or rem
dering lard.
