Thirty to 90 percent of row crop
acreage is considered a reasonable
acreage to be planted to winter green
manure crops on most farms. A larger
acreage might result in failure to plant
all sufficiently early and in failure to
plow or disc under all at the right time
in the early spring. In most hill coun-
ties such acreage should be planted
as can be seeded in proper season and
fertilized to insure sufficient growth
for blowing under to 3 weeks before
regular cotton planting time. Farms
with tractor equipment may handle
safely larger acreage of winter le-
gumes than farms without such equip
ment. Winter legumes are not well
adapted to wet bottom land or other
poorly drained land.
Choice of winter legumes depends on
soil. climate, seed, and the cost of
planting an acre. In north Mississippi
bur clover and vetch are best adapted
TO delta counties; while vetch, peas and
crimson and bur clovers are suited in
hill sections. In southern delta coun-

ducing nitrogen in growing winter and
summer legumes.
Records show the equivalent of 16
pounds of commercial nitrogen can be
produced to the acre from winter le-
gumes in hill counties. and the equiva-
lent of 80 pounds to the acre in delta
counties. This is equivalent to 100 and
200 pounds, respectively. of nitrate of
soda.
To offset shortage of commercial
nitrogen farmers may plant more acre
age in winter and summer legumes for
blowing under; they may be more care
full than in the past as to quality of
seed, inoculating seed, and as to plant
ing rates and dates, and may give more
attention to proper preparation of seed
bed; and they may fertilize land for
legumes with lime, PHOSPHORUS and
potash fertilizers.

Feeding Pigs

Feed pigs balanced rations, including
forage. Protein supplement is impor-
tant-the cost pound of digestible
crude protein in the feed should de-
termine supplement to be used.
If pigs are kept free of worms until
months old or 100 pounds weight
worms will do little damage.
Pigs on full feed must be kept COM
Portable during the summer. They
should have plenty of shade; a clean,
fresh water supply; and lots should
be sanitary and free Of mud holes.
Spring farrowed pigs should be finish
ed at weights of lS0 to 800 pounds by
November. If the weather is warm at
the time of sale, the truck in which
pigs are delivered should be bedded
with wet sand and the body of the truck
we'll ventilated. Pigs should not be
overcrowded in the truck. Pigs should
be hauled to market during the early
part of the morning.

Jim Eastland Spoke
In Lexington Friday

One of the largest crowds to hear
heard Jim Eastland, candidate for u. s.
Senator, speak at the court house in
Lexington, Friday night, July 81. In
troduced by Mayor Norman Weathersby,
after concert by the Lexington School
Band, Mr.. Eastland, heard by an at

section.
IF man can't put aside for a
rainy day on salary of $4,000 and a

Eastland said here Friday as he con-
demned the pension bill.
while the world crumbled around us
in the darkest hour of American history
since Valley Forge, and while our SOL
diers were backed up on Bataan eating
mule meat, the naval appropriations
bill was being side tracked in Washing

the pension bill. And when the people

A regional terracing and conservation
school is being held this week in Mad
ison County at Canton for the purpose
of teaching all agricultural agencies
one unified plan. 1t is believed that
this policy is step in the right direct
ion and will improve conservation work
throughout this area.
The following agricultural workers
are attending this five-day school: A.
T. Carroll, f. E. Shaw, r. W. Almond,
w. r. Thompson, and l. w. Carson.
+. h. Trotman, County Triple A Ad-
ministrative Officer, will attend sim
liar school next week in Winona.
A livestock forage school will be held
on +. ]. Thweatt's farm near Goodman
all day August 20 where several COM
mon everyday farm practices will be
demonstrated.
Several extension specialists from
State College will be present to help
with the program.
Harvesting sorghum for silage with
a cheap and simple homemade cutter
adjusting moving machines, clipping
pastures, construction of terraces by
cheap, inexpensive methods will be few
of the demonstrations.
Such farm meetings have been dis
continued in a large measure. however
it is felt that such farm meetings as
this are more important thar before be-
cause of the present emergency. 1t is
important that you attend this meeting
All applications for field inspection
for cotton, corn, soybeans, and lespe.
deza must be made within the next few
days and sent to the Mississippi Seed
Improvement Association State College
These applications must be in the State
office by August 10.
Membership dues in this Association
are Sl.00 per year which would have
to be sent in with the application plus
fee of l0c per acre for field to be
inspected. The minimum charge is $500
per inspection. Those having had in
spection work done already this year
would not be required to send the
membership fee of S1.00.
Farmers who planted certified seed OF
iced produced by experiment stations
would be in position to sell certified
seed st considerable advantage If their
seed crops would pass the field inspect
ION by the Mississippi Seed Improvement
Association.
Transportation under the present
strain makes it all the more important
and profitable for farmers to produce
certified seed where they are situated
50 they can do so. There is always 8
| strong demand for certified seed.

Win with Doxey
For he's the man for the place.
He's gotten on Committees
None other could grace,
He works hard at his job,
Puts our Soldier Boys's first
And that's the main issue
OF the whole Universe.
He has taken Pats place,
Which was hard, to fill
For he was one of the best
We had on the Hill,
His record up there,
Was beyond compare
But Doxey can fill it,
If you'll give him more time,
He'll get the things done
He'd started before
When he had to drop it all
And run with the Four.

But he's leading them all,

By the crowds that gather,

But he's leading them all,
You can plainly see
By the crowds that gather,
When he starts, on his speech
He's deserving and qualified,
And is always there to vote
He's never lodged an issue,
So the Record quotes,
He voted to increase
The Soldier Boys pay,
Take look at the Book,
And you will see.
And if he's not on the floor,
Just go knock on his door
He doesn't shirk the job,
No matter how hard
He'll attend to your business,
And that's what we need
He'll tell the whole truth,
And we want that indeed.
He's honest, he's fair.
And he's never been where
He couldn't look you in the eye,
And be on the square.
Twelve years's he's been in Congress
And you'll not find flaw,
With his record up there
And can be proven, by all.
He can render more service
To our good old State,
As we'll as our Country
And that's no mistake.
He'll hold the Flag high,
And try hard to find
A solution, to wipe out the Japs,
And Hitler combined
He votes on the issues,
He thinks, that are right
Tries all his might,
And puts up q good fight.
He's along with our President,
Where he thinks it will mean
The best for our Country.
No matter how they scream,
So ne votes his Convictions
And let's the chips fall
We need one that type
Who doesn't cater to them all.
He wanted to fortify Guam,
And the Aleutian Islands too,
But Ross Collins said
Thatll never do,
SO you see where we are
After such mistake,
For if that had been done,
We wouldn't had to run,

Eastland, the "Cotton Boll' man,
Went out to the Texas ranch
To get "Pappy" O'Daniel
His envelopes to frank,
So there's no worry, there
Over his race at all,
Nor the "WPA" Director
Mr. Roland Wall,
And the Florist Smith,"
He'll go back to his planting,
In the early fall.
SO we'll send Doxey back
He deserves full term,
Let's stack up the votes
When election day comes,
He has served with distinction
And will do II again.
SO let's give him the chance,
And help him to WIN.
