Formers Should PIont
Winter Legumes

One of the chief handicaps the
farmers had in 1912 was not being
able to secure sufficient commercial
nitrogen to produce normal cotton,
corn, and truck crops. In order to cope
with the situation in 1943, every
farmer hhould begin to make plans
for planting a large acreage OF win
ter legumes this fall.
Reports coming to US from the
Northwest indicate that more than
twice as much winter legume seed
has been produced this year than IN
1sA1. This fact will evidently mean
that farmers will be able to secure
winter legune seed in time to plant
them in September and October. The
results obtained from planting winter
legums seed in time to plant them IN
September and October. The results
obtained from planting winter le-
gumes in November and December
the past three years has been discour-
aging. In fact, on the basis Of what
las happened from these late plant
ines the last three years-no n can
recommend these crops planted later
than October 80.
A number Of farmers planted trail
plots Of Willamette Vetch the past
TALL, but did not find it profitable.
Most Of them are going back to Hairy
Vetch.
The Wild Winter Pea is n Of
the most promising winter legums
crops we have at the present time.
Every farmer in the county who has
grown q trail plot is well pleased with
them and recommend that their neigh
bors try this winter legume during
the coming season. One great advan-
tage is that the Wild Winter Pea
produces a heavy crop Of seed and can
be easily combined. They should be
planted about the same way as Hairy
Vetch. Not later than October 80.

Wall Doxey Asks
For Holmes Votes
At Dwant Rally
Senator Reviews His
Record In Congress
Here Tuesdov

The only thing the people Of Mis-
sissippi want to know in this race is
which man can serve them best in
the United States Senate during these
perilous times. Fair minded and prac-
teal as Mississippians always are,
they will reach their conclusion
through comparison Of the records Of
the candidates and the men them
selves" Senator Wall Doxey said
here Tuesday night as he brought an
aggressive address in the interests of
his reelection to the full term.
The candidate was introduced he-e
by Sandy King, well known Duranr
attorney.
when I became your Senator 10
months ago, our country was facing
and now is involved in the most ter
rible war Of all times. The people
know that Wall Doxey has not allow
ed politics interfere with the nations
work before him." the speaker said.
But for four ambitious men in Miss.
issippi these perilous times have been
only a period for politics as usual.
Returning to Mississippi three weeks
ago. I found my opponents had been
IN feverish activity for months. They
followed the familiar political patter,
of trying to build up an attack on the
mar in office. Carefully searching
Wall Doxey's record Of IA years in
Congress, they were able to find blu.
one vote to criticize. They thought
they could capitalize on the misin-
formation spread about the amend
ment to the Civil Service Retirement
Act. They thought they could capital
ize on the Smear Congress atmos-
phere which, the FIJI has proved, was
directly inspired by Nazi agents.
These opponents, to their disappoint.
ment, found Mississippian to be in
telligent, practical people who saw
through the propaganda and who
know that amendment to be no pen
sion by any means They know i.
merely extended the protection Of
the Retirement Act to cover elective
offices so that congressmen--f they
desire. for it was voluntary---could
participate in the plan exactly like
the postmasters. rural mail carriers
and other federal employees. BY pay

A WEEK OF THE WAR

The u. S. overall output Of planes.
tanks, ships, guns and ammunition
during June was nearly three times
that Of last November, the month
before Pearl Harbor, War Prsduc-
ton Chairman Nelson reported. Mr..
Nelson stated, however, "too much
boasting about production progress is
altogether premature-the biggest
part of the job is still ahead" Any
letup now, he said, would mean
years more of war and hundreds OF
thousands more lives"
Chairman Nelson, as an index OF
the Nations productive effort, esti-
mated that approximately SO percent
of the u. SIS record breaking income
during the first six months of this
year went into military channels.
This compares, he said to the 80 to
rs percent of total income being
spent by Great Britain and Germany.
The War Production Board an
nounced it will concentrate produc-
ton Of civilian goods in certain plants
and regions as much as possible. The
Board said, as q general rule, small
plants will be kept in civilian produc-
ton and large plants will be required
to suspend civilian production. Civil
ian production will be restricted or
suspended in regions where labor is
urgently needed in war plants or
where power shortages r likely to
occur.

propagandists are finding it harder
every day to give any standing WHAT

Preparedness
Saying that the minds Of the peo-
pie were all upon this war, Senator
0oxey continued, "Look at the Record
and see which man has been working
and voting that this Nation be best
prepared for the war which now we
know was inevitable. Throughout his
years in Congress. Wall Doxey has
been voting snd working solidly IN
support of the prepardnaas program
.roposed by President Roosevelt, Cen

Truck Company Gives Use
OF Plant 10 Aircraft Firm

A large number of torpedo bomb
ers will be delivered to the Navy at
least six months ahead OF schedule
as q result of an arrangement made
by the War Production Board be-
tween the Vultee Aircraft Co. and
the Mack International Truck Corp,
1t was announced yesterday.
Charles E. Wilson, WPB vice
chairman, revealed the arrange
ment, explaining that the Mack
company is turning over one of its
plants to Vultee for the manufac-
ture OF torpedo planes.
If we are to produce the great
est impact on the enemy next year,
time Is Of the greatest Importance. >"
said Mr.. Wilson in letter to c. r.
Ruhf, general manager of Mack
by utilizing your plant, which will
require relatively small alterations
and additions, we shall save at least
six months in the production of the
torpedo bombers.
This instance of cooperation is,
I believe, unique in our experience
SO far because it involves your using
other facilities for your own i'm
portant Army truck production so
that plant sc, which is eminently
suited for plane assembly, can be
made available"
Vultee produces one of the new
est types Of torpedo bombers in
use by the Navy and recent orders
for these planes have made it nec-
essary for the company to increase
its production facilities.
