should give the American Jewish
Congress, meeting in the same
city two weeks later, an equal
chance to put across it's story of

likely to lead many to wonder why
the groups are still apart and
why some big shots don't want
American Jews to be saved unless
it's done their particular way and
why some New York boys who
felt especially hurt by Milton

1T seems to me-" he said, that

Holmes Farmers
Urged To Build
Good Pastures
Co. Agent Stresses
Using ~SoiIbuIding
Practices Now

Farmers of Holmes County are
finding it necessary to change their
system of farming on account of
labor shortage. Few crop acres are
being turned to grazing land for
livestock.
Applications of 1000 pound of
agricultural lime and $50 pounds of
20% Acid Phosphate are being APP
piled to these acres in improving the
grasses and the carrying capacity of
the pasture.
1t has been found just as import
ant to fertilize pasture plants as it
is cotton and +
Acid Phosphate is being handled
by the County Triple "A Office as a
conservation material at $1,000 per
ton and agricultural lime is being
handled through the Holmes County
Cooperative Especially by the County
Soil Conservation and Extension
Service. This material is being
handled at the car door in 100 pound
bags at a cash price of $3.50 per
ton. The price is a little higher when
it has to be stored. The Triple A
Office does not handle lime at the
present time as conservation mater
ial.
Farmers who are interested in inn
proving their pastures do something
about these materials and applying
them at once, says County Agent |.

Peanut Crop

C. T. Bailey, farmer, two miles
east of Lexington, tried to get his
peanut crop picked with a regular
peanut picker, but no one with a
picker was available, so he pulled his
combine out and thrashed his crop.
About 10 or Is percent of his
peanuts were shelled or partially
so, but he did a satisfactory job.
We are glad to have this report from
someone who has thrashed peanuts
with a combine.

we get further into the war effort,
find it necessary to originate new
ways to do many farm jobs as Mr..
Bailey did.
