HAIRY VETCH is cover crop that is
coming into a wide usage. Vetch, fig
ure 2, grows to advantage on heavier
soils, but does well on sondy soils in
good titlth. 1t is thought to be some
what more drouth-resistant than Grim
son clover. 1t should be inoculated by
the dirt-glue method. Dirt Can be used
only from a well inoculated vetch field.
1t is often seeded with oats or rye,
Alone sixty pounds are used, and one or
two pecks with oats or rye.
Grow Wheat
Farmers are asked to put out as large
a crop of wheat as possible. The farm
ers of the South are asked to raise
wheat enough for their own, as the sur
plus from the wheat belt will probably
be used for export.
During normal times we believe this
would be.good farm practice. The most
thrifty people are those who raise most
of their own food and clothing at home.
The same is true of community or
county. The agricultural development
of the South has been hindered because
food was not produced at home. Now
is the South's opportunity.
Wheat does best when legumes are
plowed into the soil and phophate used
on the lighter soil types. The best ex-

inch and half rain falling in about an
hours time. North of town, four or
five miles in the Sousette and Zeaman
neighborhood, the hail was terrific,
breaking window panes in the latter s
house and doing much damage to the
corn crop, especially. There was only
light rain across the river, south of
town. The rains last week were very
partial, regular floods in some sections,
and only enough to lay the dust in ad-

To Sell No Flour

JuIlG IL, lJlC.
On account of the lack of lime, the
County Food Administrator has not
been able to get the pledge not to sell
-four until the new harvest comes in in
to the hands of every merchant in the
county. But the unanimous consent
received from those who did have an
opportunity to sign shows the patriotic
spirit which all our people have.
The Federal Food Administrator in a
letter received today highly commends
our people for our patriotism in maxi
ing the sacrifice for the benefit of the
boys in the army. The state of Texas
has gone on the No Wheat basis till
after the harvest. So far as | am able
to learn, Noxubee County is the first
county in Mississippi to enter the No
Wheat list. Noxubee will continue to
be leader in the great movements to
win the war.

the merchants signing the pledge to

is otter caused by indigestion and
constipation. and is quickly reliev-
ed by Chamberlain's Tablets. Try
a dose OF these tablets and see how
much better you feel with clear
lead and good digestion.
