Show r Miner Official Paper of the City of Beaverl Gateway City to Southern Utah's Scenic Wonderland VOLUME XXXIII Number 51 -- On Our Way Moore Haven, Florida It is for us down here to realize that next week is Christmas but the calendar says it is. We haven't seen a sign of frost and the lowest the mercury has been is 4 3 degrees. Beans, Tomatoes, and melon vines are as green as in mid summer. We thought we had seen level country before but nothing like this. This town is located on the south-webank of Lake Okeechobee in the center of south Flor ida about 70 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, and the same distance from the Gulf om Mexico. At an elevation of 20 feet above sea level. As the water from the lake runs three ways, east, west, and south it must be the highest point in this part of the state. The surface of the lake is only 15 feet above the ocean so a rise of five feet would flood the country for miles and miles. I said the town was on the banks of the lake but the lake has no real bank but just swamps all around and the town is now about eight miles from open water. The lake is very shallow; perhaps not over three or four feet deep over nine tenths of its area. Pryor to 1926 this was a typical Florida boom town with quite a respectable business center, with town lots, cement walks, improved streets extending out for miles. When the 1926 Huricane came the wind blew nearly all the water out of Lake Okeechobee and just wiped Moore Haven off the map. The government came to their rescue andi has built a diek clear around the lake at a cost of many millions of dollars. Has constructed a wonderful canal system from the Atlantic at Palm Beach, Miami and two other places on the ocean, also a canal connecting with the Gulf near Fort Myers. These canals are deep enough and wide enough, with locks to accomodate quite large coast wise shipping with not over a nine foot draught or 50 foot beam. We have been faring very well here and living of the fat, no, the game of the land. It has been duck, wild turkey, quail, dove, and black bass, every day and every meal. Last Sunday we were taken out on a picnic in the woods of here about 25 miles north-we- st all the where we were served quail and wild turkey, yes and "hearts of Palm" with toast, pickles, cherry and pumpkin pie we could hold. The "Hearts of Palm" are the same as the Cabbage Palm, I described once before only cooked at little different. We had and only nine Tarty three quail people and three dogs to eat them. This country "Glade" has only about 1300 population and it is a big one so you see people are not very thick but game is plentiful. Captain Craig our neighbor in a trailer took me out on one of the canals yesterday with his motor boat and I had a splendid day fishing. I got ten nice fish the largest weighed exactly six and a half pounds. The very best day of fresh water fixhing, I have had in foard TCXTCNSION WORK iipuntu IK iwTSlIl FLAVORS INFLUENCE BUTTER GRADES ' f Practically everyone who reads ! the newspapers is familiar with the slogan "What Utah Makes, Makes Utah." In view of the but- ter gradings obtained by our local creamery we could with profit adopt this as our slogan and even bring it closer to tome by saying, 'What Beaver makes, makes Beaver". ' the local , Mead Stevens from creamery reports that with the coming on of' cold Weather their butter grades have dropped from eighty-fiv- e per cent above 92 score to only about sixty per cent above this grade. The last reports was even more unfavorable. Out of nine churnings six graded 92 ; score and only three above. The reason for this startling drop in grade has in each case been the odor. ".' Butter is graded according to the following score: flavor and aroma count 45 per cent, body and I texture 25 per' cent, color 15, salt 10, package 5. It will be noted tih'at almost of the total score is due to flavor and aroma. I jtince the decrease in butted grade from our local creamery I came on with cold weather and since conditions at the creamery have not.- changed, we must con- elude that the odors resulting in a lower grade came largely i'frdm the farm. ' , 'The following quotations from )the monthly report on Utah but-te- r grades submitted by Professor J. Morris from the U. S. A. C. Is highly significant and shows the responsibility of the farmer In producing higih grade butter. "It appears that the feed of the cows is responisble for one of the j.moBt common flavors noted by the Judges, in accordance with the ffew U. S. standard, butter having a lightly normal feed may receive , 1 one-ha- with tnith She City i ndyl d 0. leral i Frl jy alech- lf - t jji 9 '2 score . butter that has a definl-"tel- y alfalfa, or definitely grassy flavor may also receive 92 score. vWhen the normal feed or grass flavor Is pronounced the score is ' Only 91. Butter that has a pronouncedly tallage; slightly cabbage, turnip, potato and rape flavor; or a slightly weedy flavor scores only 90. ,A definitely cabbage, turnip, potato, or rape flavor, or a definitely weedy flavor lowers the score 'to 88 or 89. T Butter that has a pronouncedly 'obnoxious weed flavor (onion or .scale weed, etc.) scores only 85 Uo 86". In addition to various feed fla- t vors some of the milk arriving at the local creamery has the odor 'of bacon and onions which indicates that some dairymen are taking their milk into the kitchen to 'tfeep it from freezing. " Milk takes on surrounding od-- , org very readily and If clean, milk Is to be delivered the place where it Is stored awaiting the milk truck must be free from oidors. Feed flavors can be avoided by not giving the cows strong i'feeds to eat, such as silage, for at ifcsast four or five hours before tJBiIking and then removing the jpilk from the barn immediately milking. Milk freezes at a lower temperature than water. Water freezes 32 degrees F. and the range for milk Is from 31.1 degrees F. vto 30.9 degrees F. If the tempera- ture drops to or below this figure pedal precautions to prevent freezing will be necessary. The best l)lace to protect the milk Is a properly insulted milk house.
