How do you pronounce the word
"jowl"? Do you rhyme 1t with
foul" or with "hole"?
The word began hundreds OF
years ago as the Anglo-Saxon
ceaf1, meaning "jaw." And the
tspellings changed thus through
the years to the present time: ceafl,
choefle, chauel, chaul, chol, jole,
jowl.
In the South, the customary pro-
nunciation is: jole. And hog jowl
and turnip green's is a highly rel
ished dish, especially among people
who 'kill their own meat" as the
saying goes. Hog jowl is the meat
taken from the lower cheek and
just under the jaw.
Now, as to pronunciation, you
may say "joul Ito rhyme with
fouD, or "jole," with equal cor
rectness, for both pronunciation
are well established, and have lone
been recognized by competent au-
thority.

his disadvantage. But in today S
deal he pulled wrong one winch
gave Mr.. Champion tits.
The opening lead by MIR. Dale
was the six OF spades ana Mr.. Muzzy
Won with the ace. Apparently he
intended to return the ten. He
took hold of it at one time. But he
was still IN the midst of a heated
and pointless rhubarh concerning
the previous deal.
Finally, on urging from the other
players, he came back to the current
hand. Somehow he got his fingers
on the king of heartS-and out it
came.
At first Mr.. Champion thought
he had got a break. But it quickly
daWned on him that this might be
the killing return. The ace of
hearts was the only entry to the
board outside of the diamond suit
and if one opponent had the ace of
diamonds three long an held it
up until the third lead of the
Suit
Desperately hoping for a shift,
Mr.. Champion let the king of hearts
hold. But Mr.. Muzzy, sensing from
MI. Champions expression that he
didn't like the lead, led another
heart. Dummy's ace won and the
king of diamonds was led. Mr.
Muzzy ducked. Next came the
queen of diamonds on which Mr..
Champion planned to play the jack.
BY superhuman effort and after
long thought, Mr.. MuEzy ducked
again.
That did it. Dummy was now
dead. Mr.. Champion took a total
OF seven tricks. On spade return
at trick two he would have taken
at least nine. Mr.. Muzzy had ex-
ecuted the rare play known as the
DeSchapelles coup.
"A new play has been born"
said Mr.. Champion disgustedly, 1.-The

the farm on which he worked came
into possession Of it, but did not
wish to remain in farming. So,
he offered to sell Mr.. Banks part
of the equipment for $4,000 on
easy terms. This was the break
the day laborer had longed for.
With his savings he made the
down-payment on the implements
which included a tractor, two
wagons, separator, and some
plows.
Then he made arrangements to
rent some land, obtain water for
irrigation, and to have a nearby
plant dry his rice. The first year,
he tried his hand with 100 acres.
Since then, he has gradually in
creased his rented acreage. Last
year, he harvested $500 barrels
off 425 acres. County Agent S.
E. Chase helps him with knotty
production problems.
Some years, Mr.. Banks has re-
eeived as much as $13 barrel for
his rice, and others as little as IS.
"This MEANS" says the rice farm
err, "some years | make pretty
good, but others l either barely
break even, or lose money"
He points out that rice is an ex-
pensive crop to grow. First, you
have to have machinery, then you
have to pay for water-about SIS
an acre; you have to buy fertilizer
and hire plane to drop it over
your flooded field; and you have
to hire help, and have your rice
dried; and unless you own lot of
land so that you can carry out a
two-year rotation, you have to
rent some," says Mr.. Banks, total
ing up his costs.
He and Mrs. Banks own IS acres
which they use as a home site and
as pasture for their SO head of
beef cattle. They rent some more
for livestock, and 500 acres for
rice, using the same area everv
other year.
During the peak of the harvest
which was reached on their farm
about two weeks ago, they had six
men at work, operating their two
combines, four tractors, and two
trailer trucks. Altogether, they
own more than $4,000 worth of
equipment. When the machines
aren't busy in their own fields
they are in their neighbors' fields

Of 6-8-8 and 100 pounds of am

After an early poisoning to con-
troll thrips, he busted four other
times about seven days apart when
the boil weevils were at their
worst. He missed needed poison
ing when the first squares appear
ed because of not having his own

of mule-drawn busting equipment
is in his plans for 1854.

three times and cultivated it about
10 times. With a family of nine,

Believing that good mark citing

and expected to put his cotton un-

price well above the loan level.
