CONSERVATION NOTES
BY APP. CARROLL

The Holmes County Soil Conser-
walton District techinicians have
made a recent study of the land use
of the county.
In this study it is estimated that
we have approximately 10000 acres
of idle land. Most of this land is in
the hill section of the county and a
large part would be excellent past
ure land under good management.
Only a very few acres are suitable
for row crops as it is highly subject
to erosion when plowed.
However, with good applications
Of minerals, seeded to pasture grass
IS, and properly managed your eros
ion problem will soon cease.
What is its economic value to the
county? At present the farmers are
paying taxes on this 10000 acres
which is a liability rather than an
asset. But what r it's possibilities
if properly handled? 1t is estimated
that any average 4 acres of this land
will carry a cow that will produce
a $4,000 to $4,000 calf each year, or
Craze a steer that will gain from
three hundred to four hundred pou-
nds during the grazing The
following farmers state they have
recently established permanent pas
lures on idle land; and this land is
carrying a COW for each four acres
or less: DR.. o. D.. Hooker, I'D. Bruce
IL NY A IIory orI
Dewitt Buck. This being true, here
are the possibilities of this land if
properly handled. If this 10000 acres
were in pasture and stocked, there
is a possibility of twenty-thousand
$4,000 to $4,000 calves being prod
uced which would be an income to
the farmers of from $600,000.00 to
ST. 900, 100000 annually.
This additional income is possible
with very little extra labor and
without sacrificing any of our in
come from row crops.
Most of the labor required will be
during seasons of the year that we
will not ordinarily be working in the
field.
BY managing properly and grow
ing winter grazing crops COWS can
be carried through the winter with
little or no feed other than these
crops. BY following this practice of
diversified farming and by utilizing
every acre of our land we will not
be caught short of necessary oper-
ating cash during years which are
unfavorable for the production of
cotton, such as we are having this
year.
Seeds and minerals for the impro-
vement of pastures can be obtained
through the AAA office with the
Government bearing from fifty to
eighty percent of the cost.
We feel that every owning idle
land should make every effort pos
sible to get it into production.

Children Observe Adult
Conduct and Initiate

!, Children not only observe and
initiate adult conduct, they transla-
te it into their own behavior and
form their own habits accordingly,
commented Mr. Samuel T. Robbins,
executive secretary of the Mississi-
ppi Social Hygiene Association. In
addition, said he, through observa-
ton of their own parents, children
develop attitudes toward family life
and parenthood that will make for
respect and admiration or will re-
suit in warped and distorted ideas
of life.
Many parents make the mistake
of waiting till a child is entering the
teens to try to help him grow up
emotionally,' stated Mr.. Robbins.
This is too late. He should have
honest and intelligent answers to
any questions he asks whenever he
asks them. Parents should never
miss an opportunity to help young
children discriminate between the
false and the true. A child who feels
secure and happy, satisfied in know
ing that his desire for correct infor-
nation has been met by those that
he loves and knows best, will not
60 elsewhere for information
The most important phase of an
individuals development contin-
ued Mr.. Robbins, is his learning to
live harmoniously and happily in
his family and human relations.
Since the family is the basic unit of
u society, children should be help
ed to grow into a respect and und-
erstanding of what constitutes good
family life and responsible parent

HABIT is A HABIT

AA<A0A4 ~ "A 4xx1)44
A fool and his money are soon
parted, but human beings-fools
or otherwise-are seldom separated
from their habits. Humans are truly
creatures Of habit.
The ways in which we brush our
teeth, comb our locks, put on our
shoes or behave in church are all
carried out according to dictates of
habit Whether we realize it or not,
we do these and other things in
manner of UNMARRIED repetition.
Habits-good and bad, physical,
emotional and moral-are the prod
ucts of our personal evolutions, and
once established ARE extremely diff
ficult to change.
Our way of eating is a habit
started early in life. 1t is mixture
physical and psychological patterns
of behavior-the way we handle our
knife, fork and spoon, how fast or
slowly we eat, and the foods we like
or dislike. Specialists in child train
ing say that food habits, good and
bad are acquired from early in
fancy, when a baby is fed by it's
mother from a spoon. The mothers
composure or lack of it at the time
she feeds the yong one makes a
lot OF difference in the way the
baby accepts foods that are new to
him. Children are mimics; they
look, listen, and do as those about
them do.
That's way nutrition authorities
tell us that it's important to teacI
child good eating habits fro
early infancy. Once established, su.
habits will be as hard to break
as the less desirable ones. For best
results, offer the young child good
food in casual, matter fact
way, without urging or forcing. Of
fer small portions of foods that are
new to child; it is better to serve
small an amount at first than to
serve more than can be finished
happily. Remember that learning
is matter of repeating; if first
tastes are pleasant, the child will
welcome the food again, and soon
learn to like it. Remember too, that
imitation is powerful influence,
so eat it yourself-set good ex-
ample. It also pays to be subtle.
Avoid undue stress on the this
is-good- for-you'' idea. The food is
attractive; it tastes good; we like it,

in Texas, CT per cent more bales

Discovery of new uses has made
cotton seed oil one of the most
important by-products of our ma
jor farm crop. And the indus
trialized use of cotton seed has
unlimited potentialities in the
manufacture of insulating ma
terials, rayon and other products.
Mississippi's second most i'm
portant crop from the standpoint
of annual income is lumber and
forest products. 1--WE rank fourth
in the nation in the production of
lumber and other forest products.
Because of the long growing
seasons and the ample moisture
in the state, it is practicable to
grow 200 board feet of timber
per acre per year. Slash pine
natures in Mississippi from 8 to
Is years and. may be used for pulp
at the five year period of growth.
The advantages of these re-
placeable raw materials are re-
Elected in the fact that four pulp
wood plants are located in our
state and we have more WALL
board manufacturing plants than
any other state in the nation. The
forest harvest is placed at $62,500-
600.
! Mississippi stands in first place
lin the nation in the production
of tung oil. In Pearl River Coun-
ty, alone, some $4,000 acres, or
approximately one-half the total
acreage in the United States, are
in cultivation. Three tung nut
brushing plants are in operation
lin the growing area. This is
comparatively an infant industry,
but there is almost no limit to the
number of related industries the
production Of tung oil can sug-
gest.
Tung oil is used in the manu-
facture of high grade paints,
enamels, varnishes, wall-board,
linoleum, cement, plastics, drying
salts, glycerin compounds, ink,

Army Closing
More Separation
Centers in July

With the discharge of 7,O74,OOO
troops from We Day through April
30, the Army has closed nine of the
original separation centers and
plans to close six others by July 81,
it was disclosed today by Head
quarters, Fouth Service Command.
The separation centers already
closed: Fort Macarthur, Calf, Fort
Logan, Col; Camp Gordon. Ga;
Camp Fannin, Tex; n1diantown
Gap, Penna.; Camp Blanding, Fla;
Fort Monmouth, N. j.; Fort Des
Moines, Ia; and Fort Knox, KY.
Centers to be closed by the end
OF July are: Camp Shelby, Miss;
Camp Atterbury, Ind; Camp Nc
Coy, Wis; Fort Bliss, Tex; Camp
Chaffee, Ark, and Fort Douglas,
Utah.
The remaining 18 Separation Cen
tiers still in operation will have
sufficient capacity to process all
discharges necessary to bring the
strength of the Army on July l to
l,550000. The IL Separation Cen
tiers which will remain active after
July 81 are capable of discharging
promptly all men eligible for re-
turn to civilian life after that date.
During the past seven months
the Army Service Forces Separa-
ton Centers have discharged an
average of nearly 1000 men every
hour, figures show.
The Army Service Forces, while
not responsible for policies con-
corning the discharge of troops, has
been responsible for the transpor-
tation, physical examination, paying
and all other processing necessary
to Rehabilitation of the wartime
