1835 Corn-Hog Program Starts
With Community Meetings.
Farmers of the county have be
gun taking part in the 1935 corn-hog
program -when they come to com
munity meetings scheduled to dis
cuss the object and the details of
the new contract. The Agent and
the county corn-hog allotment com
mittee have arranged for the follow
ing meetings:
Glendale church, 3 miles east of
Louisville, 1:30 p. m. Friday, Jan
uary 25.
Mynard Community BIdg., 1:30 p.
m., Monday, January 2Sth. '
Murray Presbyterian church, 7:30
p. m., Monday, January 2Sth.
Xehawka Auditorium, 1:30 p. m.,
Tuesday .January 29th.
The object of the 1535 corn-hcg
program is to adjust probable pro
duction to probable demand and to
prevent if possible a series of violent
ups and downs in corn and hog pro
duction and prices. The normal ten
dency after a dry year is for in
creased acreage and production of
corn. Livestock numbers are so low
there will be less demand for the
corn next fall. Such a situation would
mean cheap corn, followed by a rush
into hog production which would
mean low hog prices within a few
months.
Farmers of the drouth territory
without feed and breeding stock will
be slow to recover from the drouth.
By the time they have corn and hogs
to market everyone will be back in
the game and prices, without some
adjustment, would probably be low.
The new contract asks for an ad
justment of ten per cent below the
corn acreage base and the hog base
established for the years 1932 and
1933. Signers can take out up to 30
per cent of their corn base and get
corn benefit payments for it. There
are no contracted acres in 1935. Sign
ers can use the land taken out of
corn for any other crop. They may
also increase the acreage under the
plow if they wish.
Heat Dishes at Low Cost.
Most housekeepers prick up their
ears over ways of cutting down the
meat bill. Accordingly" the Bureau
of Home Economics of the L S. De
partment of Agriculture has brought
together its best ideas for using the
cheaper meats and here are some of
them:
Cook meat slowly, using moderate
temperature most of the time. Meat
is a protein food and like white of
egg, is toughened by prolonged heat
ing at high temperature. To make
meat savory, brown it to develop the
characteristic rich flavor, but cook it
at moderate temperature the rest of
the time.
Whether to roast, Droil, cr braise
a piece of meat depends on the ten
derness of the cut and on how much
fat there is. There are tender cuts
and cuts less tender. The tender cuts
are beef roasts and steaks from the
rib and the loin, all cuts of lamb
and pork and generally all cuts of
veal. The less tender cuts are beef
chuck, brisket, plate, rump, round
and flank.
When meat has plenty of fat, cook
Florence, Italy. Former Queen
Helen cf Rumania denied the truth
of rumors published in London that
she was engaged to marry a prince
of the house of Colunna. To the press
correspondent who apprised her o
the London dispatch she said the
news was absolutely witnout ioun
dation. She said she knew the Co
lunna family thru meeting them in
ordinary society circles.
according to the cut. Roast or broil
the tender cuts in uncovered pans,
without added water. Tough meat
requires long, slow cooking with
moisture; so make the less tender
cuts into pot roast, stew or some
other braised dish. Or, grind less
tender meat and cook it like tender
meat. When meat has very little
fat, it is usually best to modify the
rules of cooking meat according to
the cut. To veal and to very lean
beef, lamb, or pork, whether tender
or not, add fat for richness and good
flavor, and cook as braised steaks and
chops, oven-braised meat, pot roast
and stews.
Braising and pot-roasting, by the
way, are merely variations of the
same principle of meat cookery. They
are two of the very best ways of
making lean, tough meat tender. One
cf the important "do's" to a success
ful pot roast or braised dish is first
to season the meat with salt and
pepper and sprinkle it generously
with flour. Then brown the meat
on all sides in a small quantity of
fat, with some sliced onions if you
wish. Next add liquid, just enough
to make steam, say about y2 cup of
water to a good sized piece of meat.
In other words, don't drown your pot
roast with liquid. As soon as you
pour in the liquid, cover the kettle
with a close-fiting lid, and cook the
meat slowly until it is tender through
and through when pierced with a
fork. As the steam gradually cooks
the meat tender it also draws out
the juices. But they collect in the
bottom of the kettle, and when you
make gravy of these drippings, you
lose none of the good meat flavor.
Combine meat with other foods.
Skill in combining foods, plus knowl
edge of food values is the key to in
teresting, appetizing, balanced meals.
Meat is one of the very flavorful
foods; so make it go as far as pos
sible in toning up the bland foods.
Save al left-over meat, gracy, and
make broth of the bones. Keep left
over meat cold, and serve as sliced
meat or in salad. Or use left-over
meat with other foods in appetizing
hot dishes as stuffed peppers, chop
suey, curry, browned hash, and cro
quettes. If you have a cold place to
keep meat, you can economize on
fuel and time by cooking a large
piece and using it for several meals.
Among the low-cost meat recipes
suggested by the Bureau of Home
Economics are a variety of braised
steaks and chops; pot roasts and
ctews; meat pie; low priced roasts;
meat patties with tomato gravy; and
other ways of using ground meat,
sausage and salt pork; and more than
a dozen dishes with left-overs and
canned meat, besides soups and
chowders, liver, kidneys, heart and
tongue. If interested in specific meat
recipes, call at the Farm Bureau of
fice and your request will be taken
care of.
Weeping Water

in spite of the extreme cold weather,
good prices were received for the
goods offered.
Oscar L. Hoffman and William P.
Sitzmann have been chopping wood on
the Warren T. Richards place a few
miles west of Weeping Water. They
have accumulated a good surplus of
wood and have hauled many a load to
town for storage at their homes, so
can look forward to being well sup
plied not only through the winter, but
extending into the summer as well.
C. E. Poole and J. J. Meier were in
Murdock, Louisville and Nehawka one

Visited the Wreck
Spencer J. Marshall, John Cole and
Knude Jensen were in Union last
Monday afternoon, driving over to see
the effects of the collision between a
passenger train locomotive and the
rear end of a freight train. The wreck
occurred near the Union yards, when
the freight was all but off the main
line, demolishing and setting fire to
several cars, one of them loaded with
new Fcrd cars and the other with a
consignment of beer.
During the time traffic was block
ed at Union, trains were routed over
the Weeping Water line between Au
burn and Omaha.

Feeling Some Better
Mrs. A. R. Birdsall, who has been
so severely ill for some time past. re"
quiring nursing most of the time, is
reported as being some better at this
time, although far from being well
or in her former health. Her many
friends are hoping that she may soon
be in better health.
Much Interested in Meet
Jacob J. Meier, who is intensely in
terested in the success of the newly
organized Brotherhood of the Con
gregational church, which he helped
to found, and in the success of sim
ilar organizations over the county
that have been organized, visited the
greater part of the towns in the coun
ty during the past week, with an in
vitation to attend the county-wide
Brotherhood meeting which is to be
held at the Congregational church
here on the night of January 30th.
The Weeping Water Brotherhood will
act as host to the visiting delegations.
The organizing of the men of a com
munity for good is a splendid idea and
bids fair to attain great success, also
will shift some of the responsibilities
of church upkeep and maintenance
from the shoulders of the hard-working
women's organizations that have
been depended upon to carry the bur
den in the past.
Had Some Snappy Weather
Sunday and Monday were days
that tried the water pipes in every
town and Weeping Water was no ex
ception, for the water men were kept
busy getting pipes thawed out and
service resumed. In a number of
places the pipes were frozen so hard
that they burst, thus adding to the
work of the service men. However,
by night most of the pipes were work
ing and the customers were able to
draw water from their faucets.

Underwent Operation Saturday
Last Saturday, Richard Schwers,
the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. J. Schwers, was taken suddenly ill

Mr. Schwere had been at Cedar Creek
and upon his arrival home found the
lad in serious condition and made ar
rangements to have him taken at once
to the Immanuel hospital at Omaha,
where he underwent an operation for
removal of the inflamed appendix. He
withstood the ordeal in splendid man-
