MEAT CARVING
Good carvers are indefinitely
scarcer than cooks, yet upon the
skill of the carver depends in a
marked degree the enjoyment of |
the eater. Moreover, a good car
ver, by securing a greater number
of servings than one who is un
skilled in the art, can make a
piece of meat go almost as far
again.
Even the most export carver i
must have good tools in order to
do his best The style of the carv
ing set will depend on personal
preference, but the blade should
j be of fine quality steel, carefully
forged and tempered so that it
will take and hold an edge
To carve a baked whole ham.
| Place the ham on the platter
I with the fat side or decorated
side up and the shank end on the
I carver's right The shank end is
! the thick end
Insert the fork and cut several
slices parallel to the length of
the ham on the side closest to the
carver.
Turn the ham so that it rests
on the surface just cut. Hold the
ham firmly with the fork and cut
a small wedge from the shank j
end By removing this wedge the j
succeeding slices are easier to cut;
and to release from the hone
Keep the fork in place to j
steady the ham and cut thin slices
down the leg bone.
Release slices by cutting along
hone at right angles to slices.

Advise Storing
Sweet Potatoes
Since a large crop of sweet po
tatoes is now being harvested and
marketed, particularly in Georgia,
South Carolina, Louisanna, and
North Carolina, Tar Heel farmers
should seriously consider curing!
and storing at least a part of their!
crop on the farm this fall, he
| iieves H. M Covington, norticul
1 turist'for the State College Exten
; sion Service.
Such curing and storing, says
Covington, should reduce the glut- |
| ted market condition during Oc- I
loher and oarh November, when |
I (he price is usually the lowest. |
I of the year. -
The price usually begins to in-I
I crease just before Thanksgiving j
land slowly increases until the I
following May. For this reason, I
stored potatoes usually should not]
be sold before January 1. On the j
| other hand, Covington says, it is
not considered advisable to hold
all potatoes until late in Ihe sea
son late April and May
The primary purpose of curing
sweet potatoes is to heal ruls and
bruises and the broken ends of
the roots Temperature of 85 do- l
gives Fahrenheit and high humid- 1
ity are the conditions under which
healing takes place the fastest.
Start your heat the first day any
potatoes are stored. Don't under1
any conditions wait until the
house is completely filled. Along
with the healing, there is a 5 t • j
I! per eon1 loss of weight during]
the curing period in the form of
■ l
(moisture. Although dampness is
| desired during curing, ventilation
jrnust be provided to prevent mois
i ture collecting on the walls and i
; ceilings. i
Curing takes 10 to 14 days. I
I When Ihe eves 'poiy' and sprouts |
appear generally throughout the j
(house, curing is completed and the !
1 temperature should he lowered to
of) degrees Fahrenheit and kept
'as near to that figure as possible i
until the house is empty. Little or j
no ventilation is needed after the j
potatoes are cured.
