Holmes Soil Conservation
District Now Approved

Citizens of Holmes County will be
glad to know that the Soil Conserva-
ton District which was organized
some months ago has finally been
approved by the State Soil Conser-
walton Committee and the Federal
Soil Conservation Committee. Within
thirty days it is believed that the
technicians will be assigned to this
district so that an active program
can be started.
Holmes County is the only county
having a Soil Conservation District
in the western brown loan and delta
section of the State and one of the
few districts in the State that has
been organized.
The Soil Conservation District has
for its purpose exactly what it's name
implies, conserving our soils by inn
proving our methods such as terrac-
ing, ditching, building pastures, rotat-
ing crops, restoring our forests, and
protecting our woodland from fires.
The Soil Conservation Program to
be launched under the supervision of
the t~echnicians assigned to this dis
trict is going to succeed in the direct
proportion to the cooperation given
hem by the farmers taking part in
this work.

Special Tribute Paid
To w. '. SproIes

The following clipping was taken
from the Welaco tTexas) News. Il
concerns a former Holmes county
boy who is now making his home in
Texas.
I'VE wish in this edition to pay
especial tribute to Mr.. w. v. Sproles
of Sproles Feed Store, for his many
services to the city of Mercedes and
his splendid record of achievement
over a period of many years. w. V.
Sproles probably has a wider circle
OF friends than any other man we
could NAME. He has cultivated per-
sonal friendships at every oppor-
tunity, and is at pains to conduct
himself in such a ann as to de-
serve the respect and admiration OF
all who know him.
"A city is extremely fortunate in
being able to number among its civic
leaders such a personality. Mr.. Sproles
is always ready and willing to end
his prestige and ability to the promo
ton of any project which promises to
benefit this entire district. Mr.. Sproles
may be depended upon. and his SER
vices ito the people are too many In
number to be described here. 1t may
be sufficient to say we consider w.
v. Sproles an asset to the community
and q man Of whom the city may be
proud"

Mississippi Farm
News
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
BY f. j. Hurst

The new crop is getting off to a
bad start. The excessive rains have
delayed farm work. The unreasonable
cold weather has killed some tender
plants and retarded the growth of
all farm crops. Replanting will be
necessary in some instances and 1t
will be hard to get adequate supplies
of the best seed. However, if the
weather is favorable during the re-
mainder OF the year, there is plenty
of time to make good crops.
Cotton Is the states most important
cash crop. A good cotton crop de-
ponds on full stands, clean cultiva-
ton, plenty of plant food, and favor
abe weather. Much Of the crop is
still to be planted. Farmers should
plant plenty of seed. Where cotton
has been painted and the soil packed
by beating rains, the heavy crust
formed should be broken and the top
layer of soil finely pulverized by run
ming a ~spike-toothed harrow over top
of the rows. This narrowing will not
only enable the young plants to come
up but will kill weeds and grass.
Growth of the crop can be speeded
up by clean cultivation and the use
of IS to 100 pounds of nitrate Of sode
or other nitrogen fertilizer applied as
q side-dressing soon after the cotton
is chopped out"
With markets and prices for cash
crop so uncertain it will be more i'm
portant than ever that farmers this
year grow plenty OF food and feed
crops for the farm family, the live
stock, the local markets. Chickens to-
day are selling on the the Jackson
market for % cents q pound and
there are not enough chickens to meet
tho local demand.

Levy

With only six days remaining for

tax, the city hall corridors were
crowded today with persons wait
ing. to pay the So assessment. Sew
eral extra windows were opened to
accommodate the crowds.
Taxpayers were allowed to make
their payments at the main Office
Of the tax collector on the first floor
Of the city hall, when accommoda-
tons at the old age assistance tax
office on the second floor proved in
SUFFICIENT.
Figures on collections were not
available. but it seemed certain that
today's receipts would top all rec
ords for the month. Lines began
forming soon after o O'Clock, and
both floors were crowded with tax
payers at noon.
The tax must be paid by March I.
or q penalty of 81 viii be added. The
tax must be paid by approximately
5000 local residents.
The city must pay to the state
$135 800 for the state old age fund.
Collections In recent years have
been below that sum, but it IS hoped
that the city win escape deficit In
this account this year.

Complaints On Street
Conditions Are Ebbing
Mercury at Lowest Point Early Today Since Snow
Blanketed City-Mayor Claims New Haven Had
Benefit of Rain in Clearing Streets

The mercury climbed to 80 de-
grees this afternoon after hitting q
low of six above during the night
the lowest temperature since the
cold spell which preceded last weeks
blizzard. The work of Snow removal
went ahead, with the street depart
ment reporting that complaints
about travelling conditions had
dropped to a minimum.
Referring to claims that New Ha-
ven streets are in far better shape
than those of Waterbury, Mayor
Vincent A., Scully declared that
heavy rain in the Elm City several
days ago, aided greatly in clearing
the roadways. On the same day
he said, Waterbury had another
heavy fall Of snow.
Again defending the work Of the
street department under Supt
Herbert Scott-Smith, the mayor
said: I'm proud of the depart
ment's progress, considering all the
circumstances. It must be re-
membered that the department is
operating under a very limited
budget"
while other cities have exhausted
their funds for snow removal, the
mayor said, Waterbury Will still
have money available in, the event
of more serious storms.
The snow loader this morning was
working on Baldwin street. with a
fleet Of trucks carrying away the
snow as it was picked. Other gangs
of workers were engaged in chop
ping Ice from streets and cutters.
A prediction of fair weather TO-
night, with tomorrow being cloudy
and warmer, was made by the
weatherman. The mercury dropped
sharply last night, after there had
been a slight thaw during the day
Travelling conditions about the
city were reported considerably bet
ter today, though complaints OF ruts
and drifts were still heard from a
number OF sections.
