Ration Reminder


Egg Prices
Steps have been taken by OPA to
equalize egg prices charged by re-
tail route sellers with community
dollar-and-cent prices charged in
stores, it was announced yesterday
by OPA District Director, Major w.
E. Holcomb in Jackson.
Formerly, mark-ups or eggs sold
by retail route sellers, producers and
all sellers except retail stores, were
based on current prices. These sell
lers will now apply their mark-ups
to the preceding weeks prices, the
same method used in establishing
community dollar-and-cen prices,
Holcomb said.
The new pricing methods r in
tended to apply primarily to process

Commercial Tires
Dollar-and-cent ceiling prices have
been established for sales by the
Department of Commerce Of 10,857
used airplane tires as surplus prop
erty it has been revealed by OPA
District Director. w. E. Holcomb.
He said that the tires, while no
longer considered safe for use on
Army planes, can be converted for
use on such ground vehicles as farm
implements and other farm equip
ment.
The Department of Commerce will
not sell any of the current batch OF
tires direct to individual farmers or
other consumers, but will make sales
only to distributors for resale.
Passenger Tire Eligibility
Regulations governing the eligi-
bility of motorists for Grade l pas
senger tires have been readjusted, it
was announced in Jackson by OPA
District Director, w. E. Holcomb.
In the future, motorists using their
cars for a bona fide change OF resi-
dence for which they have been is
sued special gasoline rations, will be
eligible for the certificates.
Holcomb said the change was de-
signed primarily for the following 3
groups:

2. Members Of the armed forces
moving to a new post.
3. Discharged veterans returning
home or moving to another city to
accept a job.
Formerly, Holcomb said, issuance
of new tire certificates was limited
largely to persons holding supple
mental gasoline rations. The new
provision will bridge this gap in the
regulations, Holcomb added.

Mule Derby AT
Greenwood Aug. I

Greenwood's fifth annual Mule
Derby, sponsored by the Junior
Auxiliary, will be staged Thursday
night, August 2 at 8 o'clock at the
Legion Field. Proceeds from the
event will be used in the care OF
Greenwood's under-privileged chill
dren.
The Mule Derby not only furnish
es thrills to Delta areas but the
event is followed throughout
nation and various magazines to-
gether with news reels tell and de-
pict the story of the races taking
place in the heart of Mississippi cot
ton lands.
No patron of the Mule Derby
wants to miss another one. There IS
a finesse about mule racing just as
much as card playing. You may play
n card to find out that the trick
is lost by the unsupported turn up
of another. And-so it goes with a
plantation mule. What appears as a
'sure thing" may be the animal that
is out-distanced by the scrawny
brute from the lower forty, and a.
gain. the eldest son of Ole Beck may
prove faster than the risky colt just
broken to the halter. There is no
such thing as form among mules.
Looking back just n year ago,
stories are still going the rounds OF
little "Pippin", a long-bodied, raw
bony hide owned by Arthur kille-
brew and ridden by "Cal" County,
who showed his heels in the sweep
stakes to win himself fame and
glory. And there were others, too,
like Little Joe, from the Chas. Whit
tington plantation, Doughboy owned
by Foad Malouf, Foots, Bazooka,
Baby Buzzard, Boil Weevil, Miss
Victory, Pigeontoe, PAT, and scores
of others who galloped for their
farms and scattered spectators when
they tried to occupy box seats in the
grand stand.
Backing your favorites in a mule
race is about as hazardous as pick
ing on a hand grenade. You pull the
pin and anything can happen to
your pocketbook. The little four
footed hybrid that you pick for a
winner, may have to be located
through a Classified ad the next day
after he bolts the track or he may
gallop in lengths ahead of the best
in the field. It can all make you
rich or poor in the matter of seconds
but that's a Mule Derby.
The Derby this year will also wit
ness many new entries and names
unknown today may become en-
blazoned in the headlines tomorrow.
Grapevine reports reaching the
Junior Auxiliary that some fast run
ners are being developed on the
plantation pasture race tracks this
year, and the colored jockeys are
keeping their mouths shut but their
eyes on the stop watches. The honor
of a plantation requires that these
records be kept a deep-dyed secret
until the night of the Derby.
Already many of us may not be
able to recall who won the Kentucky

The size of farms in Holmes coun-
ty jumped from 53.7 acres in 1885 to
76.9 acres in 1945. This report is
quite contrary to the idea of farms
becoming smaller, as is, and has
been, the opinion of many people. If
the figures were available to COM
pare the size of farms in the South
with those in other parts of the
country, we would find that our
acreage is much smaller per farm.
This is one of the reasons why the
farm income per family is lower in
the South.
The small acreage in farms of the
South possibly accounts for the av-
erage milk production per cow be-
ing 8.8 pounds during the past year
while the average production per
COW in the United States ran ove
ID pounds. The fact that the average
pounds of feed fed to dairy cows in
the United States was over four
pounds per day as compared to IL
pounds in Mississippi has some bear
ing on the production question.
A few important things overlook
ed by the dairy farmer in Mississippi
are:
1. Lack of feed concentrates as
well as roughage).
2. Minerals, such as salt, lime
and phosphate. The best way to use
these minerals is on pastures.
8. Lack of sufficient pasture
acreage per cow.
4. An ample supply of fresh, clean
water.
II dairy farmers would do some
thing about these four things, the
milk production per cow would GER
tainly be higher than at present.

In cultivating crops during this
summer with so many rains. more
caution should be used in keeping
the work animals from getting too
hot. A work animal does a lot OF
sweating this time of year, his body
gives off a great deal more salt than
at other seasons, therefore. plenty
of salt should be kept before them
at all times. The amount of salt a
person should eat is likewise very
important if his work causes him to
perspire freely. 1t is necessary that
the body have more salt in order to
replace that given off.
