BROOD CHICKS EARLY

BobY Chick Time Is Here. Chicks
must be brooded each year to get
those pullets that lay more eggs.
Pullet flocks pay. Pullets lay more
eggs their first year of production
than hens in their second or third
year of production.
After the first years production
hens usually drop off about 20 per
cent each year in production. Usu-
ally, if hen lays 200 eggs her first
year she will likely lay only 100
her second year, l28 her third year,
and so on.
Keep only the best hens for the
second years production and re-
place the rest with pullets. One good
rule is to keep no hen past her Sec
ond year of egg production.
Plan to replace at least go per
cent Of your hens with pullets this
fall. That means buy your chicks
now. Buy chicks for each pullet
you plan to put in your laying
house this fall.
March and April hatched chicks
develop into more profitable layers
than chicks hatched at later dates.
Pullets from March and April hatch
ed chicks come into production
about the first of October. Their
eggs are sold during October, No
vember, December and January,
when egg prices are high.
Pullets from late hatched chicks
win not come into production until
eggs are cheaper. Get your chicks
in the brooder early. NOW!
Buy your chicks from reliable
sources. Practically all hatcheries in
Mississippi are operating under the
National Poultry Improvement Plan
and offer chicks that are U. S. ap-
proved--U. S. Pullorum Tested, or
of higher ~. S" grades.
If possible, have your brooder
house moved to clean ground.
Thoroughly clean and disinfect
brooder house and equipment.
Regulate the brooder temperature
at least three days before the chicks
arrive.
Be careful of temperature-keep
at about 90 degrees at edge Of hover
two inches above the floor and at

Spring garden planting begins ir
Mississippi in February and March
The early garden is the most sue
cessful garden. Get busy!
The following vegetables should
be planted in the gardens through
out Mississippi as soon as the
weather permits: beets, cabbage
carrots, chard, lettuce, Qeaf and
head, mustard, onions (sets OF
plants), English peas, Irish pota-
toes, rutabagas, spinach, tender.
green's and turnips.
Asparagus can be grown in most
parts Of Mississippi. 1t is peren-
nial vegetable that gets more pro-
ductive each year. 1t is early, health
full and reliable. Now is the time
to start it from seed or crowns.
Nitrate of soda makes early vege-
tables grow faster. The used OF
commercial fertilizer in the garden
pays. Even though your garden soil
is well supplied with barnyard man
ure the addition of nitrate of soda
speeds up growth. The nitrogen
necessary to plant growth in man.
ure has to be set free by bacteria.
These bacteria work well only when
the soil is warm. The nitrogen in
nitrate of soda can be used by a
plant growing in cool soil.

then he takes the ditcher and pulls
it up from both sides. After this op-
Grafton he again plows the terrace,
however at this plowing he only
plows the upper side Of the terrace
in the flow line. He plows on top OF
the terrace which is about six feet
below the center of the flow line
and about six feet above the flow
line and plows out this area which
takes eight or ten rounds with the
turning plow. He again drags out
the flow line with the ditching ma

race can be raised four inches by
blowing up with turning plow, also
the flow line can be lowered two to
three inches. This will raise the
height of a terrace six to seven

Henry Nelson, negro farmer at
Goodman, is constructing terraces on
his farm. Henry is using turning
pillow to build them. He plows up the
terrace and allows it to settle a few
days and plows it up again. He stat
ed he preferres rain to settle it be-
tween plowings. Henry is building
a good terrace at five plowings. 1t
takes about twelve to fourteen
rounds at each plowing per terrace.
Therefore it will only take sixty to
seventy rounds to construct a ter
race.
Henry stated that each year his
land was washing more and more
and he realized it would soon be big
gullies if he did not stop it,
A. A. Derrick of Goodman has
planned his farming to construct sew
eral miles of terraces before break
ing land. The district technicians
have layed out more than three
miles of terrace lines on his farm.
Mr.. Derrick is getting a farm tract
or with terracing plow to construct
his terraces. The operator of the
tractor stated that he can build a
mile of terraces per day under fav-
orable conditions.

Supporters Of Charter
Challenged 10 Present

I Alfred D. Moves, chairman of the
Montgomery County Democratic
Congress, today challenged th'
County Charter Committee to pre-,
sent to the grand jury its charges o,
alleged irregularities in the opera.
ton of the county government.
The challenge was issued in an
swer to a list of is types of 'bac
county government" which the
Charter Committee said yesterday
are being practiced by the county
administration.
| Declaring the committees charges
are unproven and constitute an at
tempt to smear the county Demo
cratic organization, Mr.. Noyes said
"If the Charter Committee or any
other citizen of Montgomery County
has proof of the charges it
has been their duty as citizens
to present them before the county
grand jury and the courts.
Proof Of Untruth.
"The fact that they have not
formally, officially or definitely ever
made such charges is further proof
that they are not true"
Mr.. Noyes also said the Charter
Committee admitted that no county
has ever adopted charter like the
one advocated by the committee in
1914. He pointed out that the pro-
posed charter was rejected by the
voters at that time.
THE Democratic Party objects to
Montgomery County being made the
first guinea pig among the $500
counties OF the Nation" he asserted
He pointed out that under the
present form of government, every
county and State official can be
ousted or reelected by the people
Under charter form of govern
ment, however, he said, nine-tenths
Of all county officials would be life
termers." He added that under the
rejected charter, the voters would
have given up their right to elect all
policy-making officials"
Home Rule Advocated.
In another statement, James W.
/ Gill, chairman of the Congress
Caucus Committee, announced the
addition of a home rule plank to the
county Democratic platform.
He emphasized that the county
commissioners now have real home
rule legislative powers
THE truth is" Mr.. Gill stated
that since 1907, no Montgomery Law
or ordinance supported by a ma
jority Of the representatives elected
by the county voters has failed OF
passage"
He said the commissioners can
enact at Rockville any. ordinance
which could 'conStitutionally' be
enacted under a charter form. of

with bond issues, taxes or the repeal

Truman whether there was any
news on coal today.
Mr.. Truman replied that there
was not, but that he could say
there will be no coal strike.
That's news, Mr.. President, y
the reporter replied.
Mr.. Truman said Lewis was
making the announcement, evident
ly referring to Lewis action in
making public his exchange OF
communications with Krug.
Krug's terse telegram, which
Lewis read, carefully ~refrained
from saying whether the Interior
secretary was agreeing to reopen
the contract. Dated Sunday al
Phoenix, Ariz., it merely said:
Replying to your letter of o.
tober q I am requesting that you
and-or your representatives meet
with Coal Mines Administrator
COLLISION and his associates on
Nov. l or any other date agreeable
to you"
But Lewis interpreted the mes
sage as compliance with his de-
mands. He replied as follows:
