Remember The Cotton Clinic
January 8th has been set aside
for consideration of the cotton sit-
uation. for McLennan County Ex-
perts will be on hand In Waco to
discuss the better methods of pro-
ducing cotton. More cotton Is need-
ed than was produced in 1945. njuch
more cottonseed is needed to pro-
vide the protein meal livestock
producers will demand. No one can
afford to continue to grow cotton
by haphazard methods. Planting a
I cotton crop then leaving it to the
I Lord ts asking too much of Divine
Providence. He help* those who
help themselves. In this modern
day of scientific farming we can-
not afford to ignore modern met-
hods. Hear the discussion of im-
proved practices at Waco Chamber
of Commerce Auditorium on the
8th of January. Attending this
meeting is a good way for cotton
growers to start the new year.

A LTHOUGH fall is still the popular season for butchering, rreezer-locker facilities make it possible almost any
month, according to Marjorie Griffin. Rural Home Editor of Capper’s Farmer.
“Farm homemakers like to use their home freezers and freezer lockers to hold beef, pork, lamb, veal or
poultry at its fresh best until needed," she writes in the magazine read by 1,250,000 farm families. “However,
tire old standby methods of curing and canning meat continue to be used.
“Many farm families find that preserving by all three methods gives greatest variety to the menus.
“A plan often followed is to freeze tender cuts from rib and loin; can shoulders, shanks and other less ten-
der cuts; cure sides and hams of pork and the inside round of beef.
“Young chickens are frequently frozen; hens may be canned. Poultry should be well fattened for slaugh-
ter before freezing.’’
The length of time meat can be frozen successfully depends on the temperature at which it is stored, she
points out. It should be kept at 0* F. or lower. In general sausage and ground meat can be kept for 6
months; fresh pork, veal and fish from 3 to 6 months; beef and lamb 6 to 12 months; and poultry 6 months.
and one acre of pasture, if avail-,
able, for each hundred hens.
One hundred hens will eat 8.000
lbs of feed in a year, 4 000 pounds
of mash and 4,000 pounds of grain.
Due to culling and disease losses,
the average farm flock of 100 hens [
will eat about 6„000 lbs. per year. |
Ore hundred growing pullets will
use 2300 lbs. from hatching to
maturity. A two pound broiler will
consume about 7 to 8 lbs. of good

In growing turkeys for market j
it is best to have them all the same j

turkeys which may be grown suc-
cessfully may be determined by the
equipment available.
Requirements for 100 turkeys:

ditional shelter may be needed as
birds mature. Standard canopy
