no doubt, was the reason that beef
cattle showing quality brought a
much better price than ordinary
cows.
On the other hand, l knew a farm
er in Tallahatchie County, Miss,
who shipped by truck z Jersey cal
YES in poor condition to Memphis
during 1884 and when he received
his pay, it amounted to fifty cents,
drayage and the commission had
been deducted.
The point in saying all Of this is
that farmers should build quality
into their beef cattle with the use
of good bulls. Mr.. Paul Newell, Ex-
tension Animal Husbandman, State
College, Miss, stated that if your
cows are worth $4,000, you should
use a bull worth four or five times
this amount, or $250.00 to $30O.O 90.
Too many people buy inferior bulls
to use on their herd.
I noticed an article in the Pro-
gressive Farmer, the last issue, stat
ing that Holmes County had $4,000
head of cattle, which places her in
the seventh place in the state. This
being true, it is a definite indication
that farmers of this county are Co.
ing in stronger and stronger for
more beef cattle. Besides better
bulls, better pastures should be the
motto of every cattleman. We can
not p%rofitably produce livestock
without pastures. The better the
pasture, the better will be the pro-
fit.
I was talking to a man the other
day who had about go brood cows
and markets from 40 to so calves
every year. l asked him which paid
him the most profit, the cattle or
his cotton crop and he said they
were both about the same. My next
question was, "How much of your
time do you devote to taking care
of your beef herd?" He said, "Ten
percent. I then asked him why he
did not devote more of his time and
efforts to beef cattle and quit trying
to grow so much cotton. He said he
just did not know why. +.
In that part of the brown loan
area where very little of the land
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1945-07-12

A Holmes County farmer told me
the other day while we were walk
ing over his pasture looking at his
beef cattle, that he had never failed
to make a profit on his beef herd.
This was a rather strong statement
for him to make since l knew he
had been handling a small herd on
his farm since in the late '2O's. Real
izing this, l asked him if he meant
that he had made a profit over a
period Of years Or had he made a
profit every year. Even back in
1884,, he stated, Il sold calves at
four cents per pound; this gave me
a small profit" The reason why he
received this price was because he
had extra good quality built into his
herd. One of the reasons why beef
cattle sold at such a low price back
In those days was because such a
large percent of our people were
unable to buy beef as one of their
foods, yet at the same time, there
were a certain percent of people who
continued to eat good meat and this,

that oon one can work up enough

such a lather that his foot slipped

thus making it even harder to sleep.
The Filipino listened for a minute,
then went away. Soon he returned
with a circular wooden belt, cut from
flannel nightshirt. Wear this around
your middle at night, he said. The
Colonel tried it. To his pleasant sur
prise, the heat seemed less bad and
his back never ached. "And to this
day, says Colonel Hawze, when I
cannot sleep ! put on that same old
belt and it still does the trick.

it is mighty good economy. But do

vicksburg Observes July 4th for
the first time in 81 years. Crowded
out last week. Thereby the city
earned, and got, much publicity in
the Northern press, much of it being
copied into Southern papers. To re-
view briefly what happened there
in 1853. One of the prime objects of
the Union forces was to secure the
Mississippi River throughout its
length and thereby cut the Confed-
eracy in two and prevent the states
east Of the River. from obtaining re-
Inducements or supplies from the
west-Texas, Arkansas and Louisi-
ana. In 1862 the Federals had sue
ceeded in clearing the river from
Cairo to Memphis by June and
shortly after as far south as Vicks-
burg. A Yankee Fleet meantime
forced its way past the heavy guns
of the Confederate Forts and cap
tured New Orleans. This left Vicks-
burg, with its strong positions fac
ing east and the big guns of its water
batteries, alone to hold a river cross
ing. Through 1862 the Yankees were
to come by land to attack the
city. Once they got as far as Holly
Springs where Van Dorm destroyed
their supplies and sent them back
to Memphis. They tried to send gun
boats down the Tallahatchie and
Yazoo only to have the boats turned
back or sunk. So, in the spring of
1868 the Yankees, under Grant,
crossed into Louisiana, relied on the
River for supplies, crossed back be-
low Vicksburg, near the mouth of
Big Black, drove toward Jackson,
defeated the Confederate Army
there. Then turned, whipped Penn
berton and cooped him up in the
Notifications about the City. The
result was due, perhaps. to Pember-
toms refusal to recognize j. E. John
ston's right to command him. In the
whole campaign the Federals made
not a single mistake and the Con-
federates did not fail to make every
possible mistake. To crown all the
disasters, Pemberton surrendered
the city OH July 4th, of all days! The
day before, the Confederate Armies
had been turned back at Gettysburg
and all the fighting after that fatal
July 4th was useless. Now, 80 years
later, Vicksburg celebrates the 4th
of July for the first time since the
Civil War.

some OF the country's most famous
structures, Among them is the tow

building record of Mr.. Marshall. This
bridge is one of the great engineer
ing feats of the world. Chicago also
