National B. & P. w. Week
Opens October 9TH

President Truman officially will
open National Business Women's
Week Monday, October 9th, with a
statement to Miss Margaret A. Hic-
key, of st. Louis, Mo-, President of
The National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs,
Inc, President Truman said:
"The theme Jobs Enough to Go
Round which will emphasize the
group discussions this year in the
annual observance of National Bust
ness Women's Week is most timely.
| hope that the forthcoming confer
ences will be fruitful of wise coun-
sells and will develop many sugges-
tons to make full employment a
reality.
Full employment means work
opportunity for every man or woman
who wants to work. This opportunity
is necessary to the continued prog
ress of our Nation. Without work
there is no wealth; for wealth is the
result of applied labor. Work like
wise is essential to the full develop
ment of our individual citizens. We
can store machinery carefully away;
we can leave untapped for future
use vast stores of natural resources.
But we cannot store away or leave
untapped the skills and talents of
human beings. Every day lost in en-
forced idleness is an opportunity
lost, a talent diminished, production
gone forever.
"Our democratic system has sue
ceeded because it is the best method
yet devised for permitting a man
to develop fully his own individual
talents. Its future progress will rest
upon the degree to which we
Americans continue to have the OPP
%portunity for profitable, productive
employment"

ing and cultivating equipment in
stead of five mules and mule equip
ment. He does more actual work
| with his tractor without the tenants
than he did with them and does not
have to undergo financial risks or
furnishing the tenants nor feed the
mules. Instead of having two or
three milk cows and four or five
meat hogs each year, he is now set
up to handle 30 brood cows and a
sufficient number of hogs to permit
the selling of $500 or $500 worth of
hogs each year in addition to what
he would use at home.
He now figures he can increase his
cattle in numbers and in quality by
improving his pastures with lime,
phosphate and potash. Before put
ting these minerals on his pasture,
he requested that soil samples be
taken and sent to the laboratory at
Mississippi Experiment Static ion,
Starkville, so that he can get the
analysis and know how much of
these minerals his soil needs. When
he receives recommendations from
the laboratory, he expects to apply
the minerals called for and disk
them in thoroughly. The first year
he will seed il to dallis grass and
clovers and permit light grazing. His
pastures will be fenced in three di-
visions so that he can keep his cows
off of any one of the pastures while
it is being improved and when it is
necessary to keep it from being over
grazed.
When the proper amount of min
erals are put on soil and it is seeded
to grasses and clovers, %terracing is a
practice that is seldom needed, al
though it has been recommended
very highly for pasture Improvement
in the past. In recent years, it has
been found that if a good sod of
grasses and clovers are kept growing
on soil, there will be practically no
erosion, provided overgrazing is not
permitted.

Labor Shortage Proves
Boon To Farmers

Shortage of farm labor brought
