Today the apple is widely culti-

1t is probably the most important

The small number of dwarf apple
trees grown in the United States

The winesap is a medium sized

Ba|ky Denver Upsefs
Big Seven Circuit
More Than War
Secession Threatened
Would Rob League Of
Destroying Gates
BY LOUDON KELLY.

ASSOClAteQ fTeSS 6pOftS WHICH,
DENVER, Jan. 24.-Threatened
secession in their own mountainous
backyard is doing a lot to take the
minds of Big Seven Conference
members of the war and its worries.
The University of Denver an
nounced on December % 1t would
pull out OF the conference because
OF a fight over a home-and-home
football arrangement the league
adopted in November.
Since Denver consistently draws
the biggest gates, it's easy to see
why the conference would hate to
lose it. D. U. authorities argue they
can't afford to play as many con-
ferences games away from home as
the new Setup requires and would do
better freelancing.
The withdrawal is effective with
the 1912 football season, but latest
reports say the conference, at a spe-
cial meeting today, will try to COM
promise and keep Denver in the
circuit.
Spring Slate Not Menaced.
So far no chopping of spring
sports schedules has been seriously
threatened by war conditions. Only
the four schools in the Eastern di-
vision-Colorado Denver. Colorado
State and Wyoming-compete in
baseball and golf.
Colorado State, where Harry
Hughes has coached football and
track for 80 years, has decided to
end classes May IS, two weeks earlier
than usual and week before the
conference track and field meet at
Salt Lake City.
The conference may vote to move
up the meet. Most Big Seven schools
are drafting plans for a 3-year COL
lege course or even az years. by
continuing classes through the sum-
mer.
They also may vote on freshmen
competition in varsity athletics at
the spring meeting in May and al
ready are laying heavier stress on
intramural competition and physical
education. Harry Carlson. director
of athletics at Colorado, said:
Few Basketers Join Service.
Ever since the emergency began,
we have redoubled our efforts to
bring every boy In the university
under the athletic program. OF the
2,700 men In school, only 500 parti-
cipate In intercollegiate athletics
and it's just as important to make
sports competition Of some sort
available to the rest"
So far f1rst-string basket ball play
ers who have joined the armed forces
are Jack Putnam, 6-foot-5-
Wyoming forward from Glendale,
Calf; Johnny Meyers Of Colorado
State: Clair Anderson of Utah and
Bob Hogan of Denver. Hogan, a
senior, was an all-conference foot
ball end for twouseasons in a row.
Bob Doll and Leason McCloud,
sharpshooters of the Colorado team
that swept all Eastern engagements
this season, and Walt Bergman.
Colorado State forward, may be
called before the season ends
March 7.
Utah Loses Court Coach,
Bebe Lee, Utah States new coach,
was called to Navy duty before he
saw his team play a conference
game. He was succeeded by Bob
Burnett, teammate Of Lee at STAN
ford.
So far Huck Adelt, Utah's cham
pion touchdown pass tosser, and
Vaughn Kimball, quartergack BROTH
er of Eddie Kimball Brigham
Young's grid coach, are the only
football players with eligibility left
who have decided to sign up with

The President of the Holmes

Farm Bureau in Jackson, Mississippi
which is quoted below in part:
President Aldrich is in Washing
ton attending to imrortan, legisla-
tie matters IL the interest of Agri-
culture. He advised US this morning
by telephnne that the situation there
IS critical and the future hopes for
agriculture lie in strong farm or
ganisation. President O'Neal of the
american Farm Bureau Iteration
IS urging every state to use every
effort to double or substantially in
crease their l941 membership"
Last year approximately 500 far
mers paid their dues and became
members of the Holmes County Farm

hoped by Farm Bureau officials
that more than 1000 members be
secured in the County.

At this particular time each year
farmers have the teeth OF their work
stock examined and dental correc-
tions made where needed, and also
give me animals the treatment for
BOTS. The small cost involved can
hardly be considered when so much
good is derived from the treatment.
Most all work animals, young and old,
at this time of the year are infested
with these parasites which are sap
hing the life out of the animals, leav-
iaG them in more or less weak
ened condition when work time comes
This work will be done in the fol-
owing communities as listed below /:
Thursday, Jan. s, 900 to 1900

and arrangements will be made to
take care of them during the week.

Abolish the CCC

Whitley Whitaker, editor of the Grenada
County Weekly, offers suggestion this
week which we have made before and one
which we think should be seriously consider
ed by Congressional authorities, that of alb
olishng the CCC camps throughout the
country.
AS Whitley says the CCC has served sew
eral useful purposes but it has now outlived
it's usefulness. Further:
During the hard times, these CCC youths
and their families received from the govern
ments several billion dollars for work whose
worth could be measured in millions. 1t is
now time for these young men to help save
the nation that fed, clothed and cared f3r
them and also helped their parents at home
It is far than important TO save the nation
it is to fill up the gullies. The gullies can
wait.
abolition of the CCC would rye two
important purposes: first, It would reiev, the
government of huge expense that could
be dispensed with, and, second, it would o.
vide the government with an imm n Sc num-
Der of physically fit young men who have
already learned discipline. Who | ne already
received rudimentary training ana ho have,
thru proper feeding and proper care. been

County Agent Urges To
Prevent Forest Fires

During the next three or four
weeks many thousands of dollars
worth of Pine seedlings will be des-
troyed by forest fires throughout
Holmes County. In a time of emer-
gency as we are now facing, every
one should feel it their duty to pro-
tect their forests and help protect
their neighbours forests from fire.
So much of our timber is being
cut and made into lumber it will be
only short time before all market
able timber will be gone. This being
true, we should do our part to keep
down forest fires. When your forest
is burned over all pine seedlings and
many of the others are burned up.
Will you do your part in helping
keep forest fires under control.

Police Power for Potroimen

Governor Paul B. Johnson wants to give
the state highway patrolmen full police
power with authority to raid the jock joints
and other dives that line our state high
ways.
The purpose of these raids would be to
eliminate the liquor traffic and other vice
that characterzes such places.
We are of the opinion that the state high
way patrol will have its hands quite full if
it enforces the traffic laws of the state and
devotes itself to Kidding the highway of
drunken drivers, reckless drivers, one-eyed
cars and people who pass on curves.
Such police powers were never intended
and should never be granted the highway
patrolmen. If they are to have power over
local police then we could very easily do
away with all local police and county law
enforcement officials We wouldn't need
both.
