The Supreme Court of the United

decided that insurance is not
and not subject to Federal regulation.
In the several score years since the de-
cision was rendered the States nave built
up their own regulatory laws and court
decisions have established the meaning
of provisions. The tendency of the New
Deal is to take away from the States
every right and privilege they have had.
Everything regulated from Washington
is the aim of the present Administra-
ton. In line with that idea Attorney
General Biddle filed proceedings in At
lanta intended to bring all fire insur.

statutes. The Federal Judge of the dis
trict decided against him and appeal was
taken to the U. S. Supreme--the Frank

laws and the confusion. until a body

What Holmes County
Farmers Are Doing
In Soil Conservation
BY A. r. Carroll and r. J. Ross

Ivy Mcclellan Of Durant, recently ter
raced part of his farm with q terracing
pillow he bought for his farm tractor. He
is constructing terraces and outlets this
week, on a contract basis, on the farm
of E. C. Howard, which is located two
miles south Of Durant on Highway No,
81. The terrace system vas designed
and laid out by technicians Of the
Holmes County Soil Conservation Dis
trict. Mr.. Mcclellan states that he is
we'll pleased with the terraces and the
pillow used for building them.
DR.. o. D. Hooker of Lexington, is
fertilizing 60 acres of old pasture by
applying $50 pounds of superphosphate
and 500 pounds of agricultural lime.
stone per acre. He is also completing
the construction Of terraces, started
last year, on 40 acres Of cropland.
C. T. Bailey Of Lexington, makes a
practice Of giving his terrace a main.
tenance blowing each year, and has just
completed this work for this year. Mr.
Bailey states that maintenance work,
when done regularly each year, pays big
dividends in keeping the terraces up to
desirable size and shape and in making
it much easier to crow row crops and
broadcast crops on them.

January Isl Dead|ine
For Soil Building
Allowances AAA
More Phosphate and
Lime Used Here
Thun Ever Before

January LIST is the deadline for using
soil-building allowances under the AAA
program, says County Agent L. w. Car
son. At that time the money will revert
back to the government.
Sufficient agricultural lime has been
purchased during the past twelve months
by Holmes county farmers to treat over
5000 acres Of pasture and more than
enough superphosphate has been used
in the county to fertilize at the rate
Of $50 pounds to the acre, over 10000
acres. These minerals have been ap-
piled to pastures and winter legumes
There has been more lime and phos-
phate used by farmers Of Holmes county
during the past IL months than in the
history of the county.
Farmers using these minerals on their
pastures find that the cows Craze the
treated portion and leave the other
parts of the pasture to grow up in
tough grass. Another convincing point
is that young cattle develop bigger and
better bone and are in a more thrifty
growing condition when furnished a
treated pasture on which to Craze.
One Of the mistakes a good many
cattlemen have made this year has been
in overpasturing, not having sufficient
fences to control this problem. Over
grazing will destroy the useful plants
in one year.
We are recommending now from 1000
to 1000 pounds of agricultural lime and
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1943-12-02

from $50 to 500 pounds of superphos-
phate per year. This treatment should
be sufficient to give results at least
three years. The seeding practice
recommended is IL pounds of Dallis
grass, 3 pounds of White Dutch clover
and 8 pounds of common lespedeza seed
per acre. The Dallis grass and common
lespedeza should be planted in the early
spring and the white Dutch clover in
September. The purpose of the diff
ferent times to plant these seed is to
permit the Dallis grass and ~lespedeza
to get started before planting white
Dutch clover. If these three pasture
grasses are planted at the same time
the white Dutch clover tends to shade
out the other two.
