The county committee has just computed mailing of soil depleting and corn limit bases for each far in the county. It is this depleting base and con-: serving base that every farmer should study and understand. De pleting base acreage is never higher, than cropland acreage. Depleting; base acreage represents the total. lltl CUfeL V ' i -H I 1- v j .... j would normally be grown on the crop-i land of the farm if there were no , conservation program.

The county committee is planning a series of "sign-up" days, accord ing to the schedule given below. They are asking farmers to come to the place designated and sit down for a j few minutes to talk over with their 1 community committeemen, their own ! farm plans and crop figures. When! thev have finished, the clerk will , have put down on a blank what called the "Operator's Statement is of Intentions," for 1937. This state- J ment is not binding upon either the farmer or the county association but! it is the best way to figure out how the 1937 program fits each farm in . program the county. Past experience in this county shows that most farmers want to take good care of their land and conserve ; taste. Dumplings could be put on ir. Low prices, drouth, interest, andjtP of the dish.

Sev- i eral tests run in the last week show j ed Termination of 95 per cent or bet ter, on about 1000 bushels of 1936 grown corn. Prices are running from $2.50 to $3.50 per bushel. Lists of available seed corn can be obtained at the office. These lists show the germination, variety and the owner's name and address. Left - Over Meats. f At this time of year, many iarm families having just butchered tind they are cooking a good deal and in many cases have the problem of using left-over meats. The Bureau of Home Economics says that the first thing to remember in 'using left-over meat is to reduce to a minimum the second cooking. That minimum is; 10 to 15 minutes. The meat already j has been well cooked. After a cer- tnin rnint is reached, the lonirer meat i lis cooked the less savory and less!11" indicated by entries being tender it becomes. The second admonition is to con serve all the flavor that the meat has by keeping every bit o f the broth or! I drippings and gravy for those second j incarnation dishes. The fat and li-j miifls ran bo used as basis for sauces I to pour cer the meats. Or vegetables can be cooked in them. In whatever role they appear in this made-over j dish they are indispensable. No less; important are the seasonings the right ones, used in just the right amount. The third thing to remember in utilizing left-over meats is to bring 'in accessory and enriching flavors by combining the meat with various vegetables. A sturdy standby is the meat-and- llu'1 i"- vegetable stew. One good trio ofj1" the Publication in detail, vegetables for it would be turnips.! carrots ana onions ail bonea to- gether in the meat broth until near-j ly tender then combined with thej mcat, and the mixture seasoned to the meat is added the cooking takes : only about 10 or 13 minutes so that the minimum cooking rule for left over meats is adhered to. Other suggestions include a turn- over baked meat pin-wheels, spag- hetti-meat combinations and tamale;the surface and do not prevent pass pie. A parting admonition is to keep age of farm machinery over the meat left-overs in a cold place sothat ! ground. jthey will not spoil. i Homemade Dry and Liquid Yeast.

Twenty-five dif- vu, Save Soil and iloisture. Shallow furrows, cut by an ordin- arv plow following the contours of sloping and hiily pastures at right angles to the slope, rank among the least expensive and most effective erosion-control and water-conserving measures, according to Charles R. Enlow. chief agronomist of the Soil Conservation Service. Studies indicate that shallow fur rrtvvs, close together, give better re sults than deep furrows farther apart. Shallow furrows and more of them do not turn infertile subsoil to Calculations made by the service give a good idea of the amount of water which contour furrows hold. For example, each linear foot of con tour furrow 6 inches deep and IS Forcing capacity of contour furrows on a own ' 160-aere pasture, w ith furrows aver aging 20 feet apart, is at least 2,230, 000 gallons of water. "Our observations show that con tour furrows in pasture will hold a considerable share of the rain and melting snow where -it falls and where it win do the most good," says Enlow. "Furrows have been plowed under widely varying climatic, soil and slope conditions, and in almost all instances they have held water, prevented quick run-off, and encour- aged absorption of moisture. These tiring and comparing penetration on contoured pastures with adjacent pas- j lures not contour-furrowed."
