5oodmon Track Squod
Shows Improvement
BY William Cathey

Holmes Junior College thinclads
IRE looking forward with much en-
enlargement toward the 1912 track
and field campaign. With prospects
for one of the best units in a number
of years the Bulldogs are working
very enthusiastically and determined
ly in daily under the
careful supervision of Coach Frank
,sranch.
Although the local aggregation
Jared none too impressively in the
,ate event last season at Moorhead
when they could tally but 23la
points, they are confident they will
be able to put on a very laudable
how when the intercollegiate groups
tangle at Wesson in May.
Among the squad returning fol-
activity are Johnny May. Culbert
Shots, Russell Reed, Aubrey Tho
mas and Jaems Boyette. The above
mentioned accounted for 1917 of the
tallies accumulated at the big affair
in 1941. Each is expected to be
i1uch more improved and should be
able to place much higher in the
various events.
Certain to be of great help to
the Bulldog cause are a pair Of new
Corners, Paul Haynes, former jeff
Davis standout who established tw
new records during the annual Nortl
Central competition last year in tn
high and low hurdles, and Ben Glad

Sanitation and Cultural Practices
in the pecan orchard or under pc

ducing damage caused by the shuck
worm, stink bug, scab and foliage
diseases. In orchards which can be
cultivated, turn the soil 6 inches
deep so as to cover all old shielded
leaves ard shucks before new leaves
are hall grown. If trees are growing
IN the lawn or pasture, rake and
9arn leaves and shucks in early
-pring. Any shucks hanging on trees
should be knocked TO ground before
turning soil or raking lateral. Shall

Her, at frequent intervals during
the summer will destroy snrck worms
fallen immature nuts. Clean cul-
tivation during the summer also will
help control the stink bugs which
cause kernel spot on pecans. Do
rot grow COW peas, soybeans or
c%rotolaria in or near bearing or
chards, as stink bugs multiply rapid
ly on such crops.
Use logs from the farm woods
for constructing mor and better
storage space for increased produc-
ton Of foods and feed. There are
2,1O0 small sawmills cutting timber
in Mississippi today, or an average
of 25 such mills to the county and
five to a supervisors district. These
mills will saw lumber for 4 to 5
dollars a thousand board feet. Many
Of them will saw for a part of the
lumber, Monty Payne, Extension
Forester, points out that this is much
cheaper than lumber can be bought
from the mill or from dealers.
Lands Of lesser d~esirability for
field crops, converted to pasture, may
contribute more to war production
than if they remain in cultivation.
Rolling pastures properly terraced,
conserve soil and moisture, and save
in cost of continued applications Of
lime, fertilizer and seed.
