Farm Tour OF
County Held
On Thursday
IFS Persons In
Group Making
Study Of lond

The Holmes County Farm Tour
held last Thursday was attended by
1875 farmers and businessmen.
In the forenoon three farms were
visited where up-to-date farm prac-
tees had been adopted by these
farmers. The relocation of the
farm road was pointed out, show
ing why the road should be placed
on the ridge to prevent erosion.
The sodding with bermuda grass
water channels, and the building Of
terraces with one mule and a slip
was demonstrated.
We have several miles of terraces
in the county that have been built
during the last few months by small
farmers with their teams and slips
at a low cost. Most of those far
mers find that they can build 100
feet per hour using this method. In
an eight hour day this would enable
them to build 800 feet which would
entitle them to $500 through their
soil building payment under the
Triple A program.
Mr.. c. v. Maxwell, Member of
the Holmes County Soil Conserva-
ton District Commission, gave an
interesting talk on kudzu as an err
osion resisting and hay crop while
the group was inspecting the four
year old kudzu patch on Mrs. Ethe.
Shan's farm. Dir. Maxwell stated
that he believed kudzu to be one of
the greatest crops that a be used
on soils too rough and too steep
for cultivation. After he cut his
hay last summer. he was prevented
from saving it on account of two OF
three rainy days and he decided af-
ter the hay had been ruined to fill
in and stop up some gullics. When
the cows were turned in the field af-
ter crops were harvested they ate
all of his kudzu out of the gullies al

"GoIgotha," Famous Passion Play, Will
Be Shown Here tuesday AT School
100000 Film To
Be Shown For l0c
Plus Free Ticket

A talking motion picture utterly
different from anything eyer shown
in this community will be presented
in the school auditorium on Tues
day evening, April 18th at 1880
o'clock under the sponsorship of the
Business Professional Women's Club.
The title of the picture is Sol
gotha", and it is the first and only
talking motion picture ever made Of
the life and crucifixion of Christ.
'Golgotha" presents the immortal
story of Christ in a spectacular and
Impressive ann Critics every
where have acclaimed it the great
est talking picture of its kind ever
made. 1t is a remarkable film, that
every man, woman and child in this
community should see. Since this
great motion picture is being pre-
sented in the school auditorium, a
complete set of the finest talking
motion picture equipment will De
brought to this city for the showing
of the film. This equipment in
cludes special protector, a complete
sound system, and a modern screea.
AS a result, this picture will be shown
in our school auditorium in an even
more effective manner than if it
were shown in a. theatre.
"Colgotha" Costs $500. 900
The average feature picture made
tin Hollywood costs approximately
5000, 00O, but "Golgotha" cost $780,
900, or four times more than the
average feature motion picture made
in Hollywood. This will give you
some idea of the size and magnitude
of this great picture. 1t is not an Or
binary motion picture, but instead,
a tremendous spectacle. Technically,
the picture is a masterpiece. The
cast, costumes and settings make it
one OF the greatest scenic dramas
ever filmed. "Golgotha' was made in
the old country, consequently the
scenic backgrounds are accurate and
correct in every detail. However, all
the speaking parts in this picture
are in English.
Cast Of Thousands
The making Of "Golgotha" re-
quired a cast of thousands. The "Fiim
Daily, which is an official publica-
ton of the motion picture industry
in tais country. states: NO mob
scenes such as these have ever be-
fore been recorded on fi,rl. They
are breath-taking and awe-inspiring.
Christ's Immortal Story
It is important to keep in mind
that "Golgotha" is a talking motion
picture, the first and only one ever
made of the story of Christ. The fact
that the characters actually talk
makes Golgotha an effective and IN
forgettable entertainment.
Admission Ticket Plus 1Oc
Through the cooperation of the
merchants of this community. special
tickets are being given out, and these
tickets, with 10 cents in cash. will
admit adults to see this great talk
ing motion picture. This brings the
picture within the reach of every
one. and makes it possible for every

tainment. All you need to do is 90
to your merchant and ask for special
tickets. which will be given to you
free, Then n of these tickets, with
10 cents in cash, will admit you to

ers of his 1899 championship team.

assortment of problems in taking

Nearly a dozen Cowboy players
from last years squad, including
Lou Dunningan, a clever though
brittle runner, have entered some
branch of the armed services. In
addition, Fullback Dominic Feeley
and Guard Al Lokanc had to reg

Harry Hughes, who began coach
ing at Colorado State six years
before this country got into the
last war, probably would feel more
confident about his 31st season with
the Aggies if he were certain that
Tony Iadisernia, 2O8-pound Cali

Meyers would be there until the
finish. Bill Busch, a guard, traded
his pads for National Guard regi-
mentals.
At Brigham Young the draft may
