Hereford Show and
Sale Al Greenwood
November 1910

The Southern National Hereford
Show and Sale with $4,000 premiums,
will be held at the Delta Livestock Show
grounds in Greenwood, November 8, 9,
and 10. The event is one of the three
national shows, the other two scheduled
at Dallas and Denver. Entries lave
been received from nine states repre-
Herefords in the United States. These
cattle totaling ass head of show cattle
and 81 head to be offered in the sale
to be held the last day Of the show will
represent Colorado, Texas, Louisiana,
Tennessee, 0klahema.r Arkansas, Kansas,
Wyoming and Mississippi herds. A. E.
barlow, Of Oklahoma A. & M. College,
Saltwater, Oklahoma, will act as judge.
Mr.. Darlow acted in similar capacity
last spring at the second annual Delta
among cattle breeders and has served
as an official at the International shows
in Chicago. Roy j. Johnston, Bolton,
Missouri, will be the auctioneer at the
sales to be held on the last day Of the
show. There will be no admission
charges to the show and the animals
will be on exhibit at night for the bene-
fit of those who are unable to attend
the show in the daytime.
There is every prospect that when
Judge A. f. Darlow steps forth to dis
tribute the puppies and the blues at the
Southern National Hereford Show at
Greenwood, Mississippi, next month he
will be confronted with the greatest
collection of Hereford m~asculinity and
ever assembled south Of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi. The
lure not only is the $4,000 premiums,
but also the opportunity afforded Here
ford breeders to display their wares be-
fore stockmen of an area interested as
never before in still further improving
their own herds.
The show cattle will move from
to the National show in Dali
las the following week.

Method Changed In
Getting Automobile
Replacement Paris

Effective November /, a change of
method in the aid given motor vehicle
operators in obtaining automotive re-
placement parts is expected to put
vehicles laid up for want of parts back
on the o with less time lost, w. D.
Hendry, District Manager of the Office
of Defense Transportation, Jackson,
stated today. 1t will also aid in the
accumulation Of data needed to fore
stall widespread parts shortages.
Under the new procedure, ODT Main
tenance Specialists are to be responsible
for searcing out, from parts distributors
on down the line Of sources, parts to
fill operators orders bearing "Certifi-
cate for Emergency Order" eertification.
In addition to the requests received
directly at ODT district office in Jack
son, all such authenticated request re-
ceived by Wal Production Board auto
motive specialists are to be referred to
the nearest ODT representative for
handling. If a canvass Of the ODT re-
gion in which tho shortage is. reported
fails to turn up the part, the ODT re-
gional office is to refer the ease to the
WPB regional specialist in order that
the producer of the part may be con-
tacted.
Previously. local shortage cases were
reported to OTIS Automotive Industry
Division. The new procedure shortens
the route by authorizing the contact
of parts producers direct by the WPB
regional automotive specialists.
At the same time, reports on all short
ages continue to be sent to Washington
and give advance notice of widespread
developing shortages extending over one
or more regions.

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

J. L. Braddock Of Acona, practiced
good pasture management on his Is
acres Of new pasture by moving hia
pasture. This was done in order to
permit seed to mature on his new Dallis
grass and lespedeza which was planted
last spring. This pasture was fortified
with 700 pounds of lime and $50 pounds
Of superphosphate per acre. After be-
ing disked up, the ground was seeded
with SO. pounds Of lespedeza and 12
pounds Of Dallis grass seed per acre.
An excellent stand of Dallis grass was
secured, in spite of the dry weather, by
his method of planting the Dallis grass
seed in rows with a planter.
Mr.. Braddock plans to apply $50
pounds of superphosphate per acre over
his new pasture during his spare time
this winter.
L. p. Johnson of Lexington, got two
cuttings of hay from four acres of
Sericea this summer. ~ wish l had
many more acres of Sericea to cut for
nay because the dry weather cut my les
pedeza hay crop short" Mr.. Johnson
said. He plans to increase his acreage
of Sericea each year as was planned in
the Cooperative agreement he has with

PuIpwood Production
Must Be Increased

Domestic pulpwood production, as
represented by mill receipts, while sub
staintially improved since the launching
of the newspaper Victory Pulpwood
Campaign early in August, must be in
creased during the remaining weeks of
1943 if the IL, 5000, 000-cord goal e domes-
tic pulpwood set by the War Production
Board is to be reached, Walter NJ. Dear,
chairman of the Newspaper Pulpwood
Committee, said today.
Mr.. Dear pointed out that receipts of
wood at pulp mills do not give an accu-
rate picture Of actual pulpwood cutting
during recent months, as in most regions
outside the South there is often a long
lag between the time pulpwood is cut
and the time it reaches the mill.
The mills experienced a slight up
swing in mill receipts in August and
September but at the same time there
exists the necessity for continued inn
provement in production, he explained.
mill receipts were so poor during the
first half Of the year." Mr.. Dear said,
that production and deliveries during
the last three months of this year must
rise well above the average of the pre-
vious months or we will fall short of
the WPB requirements for military and
essential civilian needs.
W are now in what is for most
areas the best season for pulpwood cut
ting. If farmers and woodland owners
can now devote those three extra days
suggested by Donald Nelson, WPB
chairman, to pulpwood cutting, we nave
a good chance of reaching our goal.
Monthly deliveries of domestic pulp
wood to the mills must be stepped up
s percent above the monthly average
experienced for the first nine months
if the WPB's minimum requirement of
l3 900 900 cords for l943 is to be met.
Mill receipts during the first nine
totalled 1867, 999 cords of 1928
cubic feet, rough wood basis. This figure
represents 70 percent of the goal, Sep
mill receipts totalled 1905, 900
above the monthly average for the pre-
nine months. August receipts of
domestic %pulpwood amounted to 1 .2S9fl2l |
cords.
Southern states goal this year is 6 |
cords. In August ST. .O88 cords
cut and in September 492, 90 cords,
making a total of 4,452 900 for the first
nine months. leaving 1.54s 900 cords to
cut this year il we are to meet our
goal.
