That’s the calculation of H. K. Sanders, Person County farm agent for the State. College Ex tension Service. “That's a lot of water,” com ments Sanders. “Do you wonder that sometimes tobacco is hard to cure.” An average stick of tobacco weighs 15 pounds green and 1.1-2 pounds cured- This means that 13 1-2 pounds of .water evaporate from each stick during the cur ing process. Since water weighs about 8 1-2 pounds a gallon, a little more than 1 1-2 gallons of water per stick of tobacco has to be dried out of the leaves. In a bam containing 500 sticks, that means 750 gallons of water must be dried out. In large barns, containing 700 sticks, about 1,050 gallons—21 l’ifty-galion barrels— myst'evaporate. AU' of this, says the county a- j gent, points up the fact that plen ty of vehtitation is needed in curing barns. And this ventilation must be high up in the roof, Since Steam rises tci the highest point. If'it canhot escape, it will • scald the tobacco. *■ “ ' • Sanders shys One way to provide an escape for'.the'.steam, is to in sfalija barn^hat‘^s ,a fight'metal jj^t, .tMfgv siuwute ifee.t -of ! fepaco should be left open in each gable end, This will provide a current of air all the way across the top of the barh, with steam coming out of each gable end. There should also be some air coming in hear the bottom of the barn, preferably in such a way that it can be heated by the flues I before .it rUse* up to the tobacco. If it comes in to high up, it will ( chill the tobacco. Consumption Gain In Canned Heats ' Canned meats and meat pro ducts, once classed as snacks and “quick lunch” items, now account for a sizable chunk of the average American’s meat diet and play a basic role in everyday eating hab its. The use canned meats in the United States has climbed almost sevenfold since the mid-1920’s— from a little over 220,000.000 pounds in 1926 to about one and one-half billion pounds last year. Leading the canned meat parade are processed luncheon meats, which alone account for 20 percent of the total, canned hanis, corned beef hash', chili con carne and Vi enna sausage. The survey goes pn to explain that Americans last year ate the fantastic total of al most 24 billiqn pounds of meat and meat products—both canned and fresh—which averaged about 160 pounds for every man, woman and child in the country. Twenty-four years ago per. capita consumption was only about 139 pounds.
