Salary cuts for state institutions to stay in effect
Oklahoma City January 2 1940 budget officer R R Owens says ten percent salary cuts ordered for state institutions in late 1939 will continue for the first quarter of 1940. Governor Phillips approved most budgets but not the University of Oklahoma Oklahoma A and M College or the common schools which will be ready by nightfall. Some institutions tried to add the saved amounts to quarterly estimates boosting figures but those were rejected. Many avoided cuts by using revolving funds and may keep doing so if funds allow. The general fund opened 1940 with a 400000 deficit and 1100000 subpaid claims, including 1029006 in secondary aid for weak schools which will be paid when about 1200000 in tax collections are turned over this week, delaying pay for hundreds of teachers.

Expert Explains Key Points On Pickling Beef
Expert J A Beall from Oklahoma A and M College outlines pickling beef using cheaper cuts. Meat is cooled but not frozen, cut into six to ten pound chunks, and packed in stone jars with salt sugar and saltpeter. Brine must cover all meat. curing takes 14 to 21 days, and salty pieces can be soaked or boiled before cooking. Dried beef uses the same mix, cured for three and a half days per pound, then smoked and hung to dry.
