Showers Add Moisture
In Scattered Areas

Scattered rains and showers have Wis
tied many areas of Holmes county this
week, several of the localities reporting
that the rainfall has been of good pro-
portions and enough to aid crops ma
terially
Lexington has been among the loca-
tions to receive showers only, a refresh
ing one falling first last Sunday after
noon with several good sprnklings on
other days.
Tuesday afternoon several places east
and south of the city had good rains,
several farmers reporting that it was
too wet to plow Wednesday morning,
altho little farm work was held up from
the rainfall.
Gardens were particularly in need of
rain, some of them already showing signs
of parching from the long spell of dry
weather. Where rains or showers have
fallen, gardeners report decided improve
ments in the looks of their plots, plants
taking on new growth the past few
days.
Local weather forecasters are of the
opinion that the thundershowers visit
ing this section will develop into gen.
eral rain before the weather settles
again, a few of the prophets still hold
ing out that it is going to be a wet
June.
Altho farm work is still behind in
most instances, a ride about over the
territory will convince that everybody
is working and crops are showing up
bettre.

County Community
Meeting Planned

Eight business men of Kosciusko met
with the Durant chamber of commerce
and other business men of Holmes
county Monday night to discuss prob
lens common to this section of the state
and to work out cooperative programs
to solve these difficulties, according
to T. M. Williams, this city, who was in
attendance. The Kosciusko men were
enthusiastic over a program which they
have been working on for the past
seven years. Results enumerated prov
ed conclusively that the business inter-
ests of community can assist material
ly in fostering a better farming prog
ram.
These men work through an organ
ization known as the Attala County De-
velopment Board and project their prog
rams with community meetings. The
county agent and field representative
of the Pet Milk Co. have formulated ten
community clubs which they visit once
each month. This exchange of ideas of
the business men and the farmers have
brought payroll of S190,0OO to Koscius-
ko for milk and milk products. Mr..
Graham, manager Of the kosciusko
creamery, stated that in 1926 they made
1000 pounds of butter. In 1928 with
the Pet plant operating about one-half
the year, they made 214,000 pounds.
raising this figure until in 1882 it had
reached 100000 lbs. In other words
during the depression and with the plant
in operation, the farmers maintained
their herds and increased the dairy
business that both plants operated with
little decrease in an established busi-
ness and are now showing an increased
interest.
The business men say that their COM
munity work has been the biggest in
vestment they ever made in their coun-
try. The business men of Holmes coun-
ty are asked to attend their monthly
meeting at the Attala county court house
Monday night May 2s at o'clock. Sew
eral cars have been made up and County
Agent Williams is working up other cars
over the county.
Following a meeting at Kosciusko, a
series of night meetings will be held in
Holnes county to present to our people
the program used in Attala. These
meetings will be held at Brozville, Tues
day night, May 80; at Bethesda, Wed
nesday night, May 81; Acona, Thursday
night, June l and at Centerville, Friday
night, June 2. Meeting places and dates
for other sections will be announced
by the county agent next week.
The time for renewed interest in our
farm program is evident, states the
county agent. insufficient feed and the
tremendous debts owed, prompts US to
action. We seem to be developing an
attitude in our minds that the relief
agencies and credit banks will look
after US regardless of what comes or
goes. Unless we wake up and start a
reaction we are headed towards an ag
ricultural breakdown. This is not the
work of few individuals but the job
of the interested people of Holmes
county. An appeal is made to the pride
of our forefathers who gave US an her
tage of rigid economy, industry and
honesty. We must carry on or we will
fail.

Trench SilOs To Be
Stressed by Co. Agt.

Due to the hard winter experienced
and the short supply of feed, cattle losses
have been rather heavy thruout the
state, Holmes county not excepted, stated
the county agent, who is advocating that
more of a feed supply be planted for
the necessary needs of the average farm.
Trench silos seem to be an answer to
the matter where extra storage is need
ed and it is this in view that the coun-
ty agent is directing same be done. They
can be easily built in the summer when
crops are finished off. The greatest
production of silage comes from sor-
ghum, and with storage in a trench silo
the roughage is cared for very economi-
cally.
Holmes county has only seven trench
silos and should have hundreds, state
Mr.. Williams. 1t is his intention to have
more constructed in the coming months
SO that an abundance of food for cat
tie will be found to carry stock through
the winter next year.
In event you are interested in the mat
| ter of building one, he will be glad to
| give you all details of construction and
also make other recommendations for
the work of placing silage in proper
manner to get the best results. Many
/ farmers who are unable to build ad-
| ditions to barns or construct housing
for feed crops will find the trench silo
one of the best answers to the matter
if matter of economy is involved. More
storage to care for more feed, is one
of the slogans this year. 1t is good
plan to follow at any time, especially
now when most farmers are having a
hard time feeding to make crop,
aside from the needs of the cattle and
dairy herds
