HoIfon Asks Farmers

State Produce Assn.

Regulations Given

On the strength of suggestions as
outlined by leaders of the Mississippi
Dairy Produce Association at their
oath annual meeting in Gulfport last
week, farmers of the state are being
urged to take immediate steps to
improve and produce a higher grade
of dairy products.
In keeping with this, j. c. Holton,
Commissioner of Agriculture listed
what he termed to be fundamental
necessities to be followed in bring

Hastings Celebrates
SO Years Service To
Southern Forming

H G. Hastings, prominent seeds
man of Atlanta. is celebrating his
fif.ietn year of service to the needs
of Southern gardens and farms.
Mr.. Hastings was instrumental in
the promotion of the Boys Corr
Clubs in many Southern states, from
which has followed Boys and Girls
clubs throughout the land, building
prosperous agriculture among the
And later as President of the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce and OF
the Southeastern Fair Association he
advocated and publicized the fam
Gus "Cow-Hog-I program of di
versified farming that meant discard
ing the shackles of 'one crop" farm
ing that had practically bankrupted
Southern agriculture in many sec
tons.
Probably Mr.. Hastings greatest
single contribution to better farm
ing in the South was the introduce
ton in 1915 OF mis- now famous Hast
ings' Prolific Corn, enabling the
Southern farmer to grow not only two
but three and four ears of corr
where only one was grown before.
However, mis- introductlons of otnei
Iield and garden seeds are numbered
by the score and are considered in
dispensable for the greatest Southern
Ialm and garden success.
Still actively interested in the per.
manent prosperity of the Southern
farmer and gardener, his advice and
suggestions play a wonderful part in
counclAs concerned wrln theLr wea-
fare.

HICKS GANG IS
 PUT ON RADIO

One of the most famous criminal cases of the middle west-the cap- ture of the brutal murder guilty Hicks gang, with only a match box as a clue, which ended with the first triple electrocution at the h. diana state penitentiary-will be dramatized on Gang Busters, the anti-crime crusade, over the CBS network tonight at 8 o'clock, (est) A law officer, associated with the case, will describe details to Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkcpf.
 In the summer of 1886, William Hicks and his ex-convict henchmen, Kuhlman, Williams and Poholsky, killed Henry Miller, retired fire captain, in a $l2O,O00 robbery, bru- tally dismembered his body and presumably destroyed all marks of Identification. It at first appeared to be perfect crime, but an incon- sequential match box, discovered later, gave law officers of Carrolton, Ky, a clue that later led to the ar- rest of Hicks himself.
 AlthOugh mercy Jaled on SuSplc- ion, the gang leader soon made a full confession and gave the names and hideout of his confederates committing "dishonor among thieves"-and shortly thereafter the entire gang was awaiting electro cution at the Indiana prison. Kuhl- man, Williams and Poholsky were electrocuted together, and Hicks alone at 8 later date.
 Gang Busters is presented in the interests of Palmolive Shave Cream and Palmolive BrushlesS.
