Dirt Worth Dollar A Pound. Plain black dirt is worth a dollar a pound in this Montenegrin village. All the black soil in the village could be swept up and hauled away in a five ton truck. When American Red Cross relief workers found this town all the food in the village had been consumed and ninety-five percent of the population was ill and starving. Scores of Montenegrin villages were in the same situation. For centuries they have been obliged to import food to piece out their meager ration. When the food shortage came on during the last years of war towns like this were scarcely able to keep alive. Survivors who were given Red Cross food are the youths and middle aged folk. The very old and very young are dead. Those who lived try their best to make their little garden plots produce

Hams now aged in 6 to 10 weeks. College Park, Md. Oct. 27. No longer is it necessary to age ham a year or so to obtain that sharp, pungent, cheesy flavor in the lean meat, so characteristic of southern style ham. Speeding up nature, the Maryland Experiment Station, University of Maryland, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has developed a process by which it is possible to produce some of these characterisitc flavors in hams in relatively short time--6 to 10 weeks--by holding them at temperatures from 107 F to 125 F in specially constructed incubator. 1. The first step in the process is the thorough curing of the hams, three days being allowed for each pound of ham being cured. Mr. F.D. Carroll, of the Maryland Experiment Station, is shown with a few of the hams after they have been cured
