Time To Think About
Winter Cover Crops

Reduction Of soil erosion and restora-
tion Of soil fertility are objectives OF
efforts now being made by the county
agent, county and community AAA COM
mitteemen, the county administrative
officer, and other agricultural leaders
Of the county, says Agent /. w. Carson.
The experience Of farmers through
out the county has proved beyond any
question the value Of growing and turn
Ing under winter legumes as q means
Of controlling erosion and improving
soil fertility.
Production Of close-growing, nitrogen
gathering crops like vetch, Austrian
winter peas, bur clover, and crimson
clover, provides a protective cover for
the land during the winter months and
adds large quantities Of organic matter
and nitrogen to the soil when turned
under In the spring.
County Agent Carson is asking farm
ers to make arrangements now for
planting seed to avoid the mistake of
planting too late. Both agricultural re-
search and farm experience show that
these corps make the best growth and
do the most good when planted early
in the fall, usually the first half OF
October.
The specifications for seeding winter
legumes under the AAA farm program
require that producers plant 25 pounds
Of vetch, IS pounds Of Austrian winter
peas, 20 pounds Of clean crimson clover
or its equivalent in chaffy seed, 10
bushels Of bur clover in the bur, or 25
pounds Of scarified wild winter peas
per acre.
Unless q successful crop Of vetch OF
Austrian winter peas has been grown
on the land within the past year, the
seed Of these crops must be inoculated
at planting time. Crimson clover must
be inoculated in all cases.
II the previous crop was cleanly cult
waited, no seedbed preparation will bt
necessary. A common practice is t.
cover two to three inches deep by run
ming a middlebuster or turning plov
run In the middles of the old rows. II
many cases, planting is done with spec
ial planters equipped with duplex hop
per and middlebuster type of plow.
In the hill counties Of the state al
application of 4s pounds of avaiiabl,
phosphate, which may be supplied il
the form of 300 pounds of l6 per cen
superphosphate, 240 pounds of 20 pc
cent superphosphate, or 100 pounds
triple superphosphate, of 500 pounds o.
basic Stag, will usually increase tn,
growth of the legume and the following
crop.
The application of limestone, likewise
is recommended on many hill lands
Producers can earn soil-building pay
ments for seeding winter legumes, fol
applying phosphate or basic Stag, an,
for applying limestone.

Still Time To Plant
That Old Fall Garden

R. o. Monosmith, extension horti-
culturist, Mississippi State College,
gives the following garden advice:
The rising cost of living is bringing
the home garden into position of
greater Importance every month that
passes. The favorable summer season
here in Mississippi can be turned into
profits and health IL its gardening pos
sibilities are recognized by everyone in
the state that has garden spot avail
able.
July is usually month unfavorable
for planting. In July, 1941, the follow

gether for some time to come. Stirling
Hayden, stranger to motion pictures,
making his movie debut in this film,
gives an entirely creditable perform
ance. Young, handsome and dashing
this former yachtsman, who was lured
from the sea by Hollywood, should go
far
The story tells of the difficult de-
cision of a woman, born in Virginia
and reared in the North, has to make
when she falls in love with Southerner
offering her only the hardships and
traditions of plantation life, but who is
pursued by wealthy, handsome North
erner, who offers life of superficial
gaiety. Miss Carroll is seen as the
woman with the romantic problem, Mac
Murray as the Southerner who wins her,
and Hayden as the Northerner who
comes out second best.
Exceptionally fine performances are
contributed by the brilliant cast headed
by Helen Broderick, Marie Wilson and
Carolyn Lee.

plants are not available, the suckers
from the plants now producing can be
used to start the fall crop.
When the garden is plowed for July
paintings, additional ground should be
prepared for the fall garden paintings

Rains that fall in August will be more
useful in getting stands of fall vege-
table crops if these rains fall upon
ground in good tilth. Many times the
vital moisture is lost in run off water
and water loss from weeds before the
ground can be cleared of weed growth,
plowed, narrowed and bedded for plant

New Dry Zones Set Up
In Liquor Sales Bill
Offered by Schultz
Areas Would Extend 500
Feet From MiIitory Posts,

A bill designed to extend the
areas in which District liquor sales
would be forbidden to sections in
which military or naval posts as

late today by Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana, a
member of the House District Com
mittee.
Regulations promulgated by the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
last week allow no liquor stores

distance at 600 feet, not only for
schools and churches. but for pub
lie Libraries, the Soldiers Home and
any Army. Navy or Marine post
and any charity institution that
provides housing for indigents.
The bill also provides that IL

cannot be transferred.
Another provision would forbid
the advertising of liquor prices by
any medium or the display OF
prices in a liquor store.
