5000 Oats
Planted In County

Dat crop acreage has been increased
this year, whereas practically none were
planted five years ago. This crop has
decided advantage in most parts of our
country in that it can be planted and
harvested with very little hand labor.
Another big advantage is that oats will
grow successfully on soils which will
seldom make a crop of corn.
Most of the oat acreage is found in
the western part of the county where
yields have been reported from so to
over 100 bushels per acre. Fifty bushels
of oats to the acre is not in
the Hill section of the county. The chief
handicap in growing oats as a feed crop
in some parts of the county is the live
stock problem. Where livestock are per-
mitted to Craze them and bog around
over the fields in wet weather, small
yields are usually obtained.
Oats of the early varieties are being
harvested this week and reports indicate
one of the best yields ever produced in
l.. Nichols report they are harvesting
approximately rs. bushels per acre. Mr..
the county. Mr.. c. R. Logan and Mr.. H.
Logan reports 720 bushels on one 6H
acre field. This field was planted in the
latest strain Cookers Victorgrain variety.
1t is believed that more and more of
the county feed crop acreage should be
planted to small grain, such as oats.

HonorabIy Discharged
Veterans Entitled To
Unemployment Rights

Veterans of this war who are dis
charged "Honorably" or "Under Honor
able Conditions" are entitled to reem-
ployment rights as set forth by Con-
gress. This is applicable to men or
women who nave served in the Army,
Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. The
benefits are not made available to the
Coast Guard Auxiliary, conscientious
directors, or employees of the state or
political subdivision thereof, unless the
state has passed laws granting reem-
ployment rights to their employees as
Mississippi has done.
The honorably discharged veteran
must make application to his former
employer for unemployment within 20
days after he Is relieved from" training
and service. This is mandatory if the
rights against any objection of the en-
ployer.
There is a unemployment committee as
a part of every local board of selective
service in Mississippi. 1t is the duty of
this committee to aid and assist all
veterans by directing them to the prop
er agency for pension, vocational train
ing, disqualification, securing their old
job, or one of like seniority status and
pay. Upon the discharge of any mem
Der of the armed forces, he is directed
to report to a local selective service
board. It is to the veterans advantage
to do this. Upon discharge, he is given
proper credentials for presentation to
the board to which he reports and by
these credentials is entitled to the
benefits under the law. All veterans are
urged to follow this procedure and Sc
lective service local boards, together
with their unemployment committees,
are ready and willing to render him
any service at their disposal. Local
boards are open each week day in Mis-
sissippi from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. Positions
for unemployment are those "other than
temporary, which determination, if not
able to be settled by the facts and cir
cumstances, will be referred to the Uni
ted States District Courts. 1t is the duty
OF the United States Courts to finally
determine the status of any or all such
cases.
Change in the employers circumstan.
ces, particularly private employers, may
make it unreasonable or impossible to
reemploy the veteran. These facts and
circumstances will be determined in
each individual case, subject to the ap.
prevail of the United States courts.
No veteran so reemployed after re
lease from service can be discharged
without sufficient cause within one year
after such restoration, nor can such g
veteran be displaced by another veteran
on the grounds of greater seniority
rights.
