FARMERS MUST QUALIFY
TO RECEIVE AID OF AAA

Farmers must have farm practices
approved before carrying them out
to be eligible for AAA assistance
under the 1916 Agricultural Con-
servation program, J. W. McCurry,
chairman, Mcdowell County AAA
Committee, reminded farmers today.
''In previous years, farmers could
earn payment simply by complet-
ing practice approved generally
for the area, McCurry said, "But
this year, counties have received an
ALLEGATION of funds to carry out the
AAA program. In order to keep
expenditures within the county bud
get, practices must receive prior ap-
proval by the county committee.
eve don't want any disappoint-
ed farmers at the end of the year" ,
he continued. ''It would be too bad
for farmers to go ahead and COM
plete practices, thinking that they
were going to get some AAA assis-
tance and then find out that the
practices are not eligible.
Farmers should check first with
the AAA community and county
committees, so that practices they
need to carry out on their farms
can be included in the county's pro-
gram budget Chairman McCurry

Lody Wins Medal

A large circle of friends in Hol
mes county will be interested t
know that SfSgt. John M. Holt, O
Western Springs, H., has been a
warded the Bronze Star for heroisn
on Okinawa. He is the grandson o.
Mrs. John r. Hoover, of Pickens
and has visited here frequently.
The following account appeared
in the Jan. IL issue of the Western
Springs Qll) paper:
With the Goth Division in the
Philippines--S/Sgt. John M. Holt oi
Western Springs has been awarded
the Bronze Star medal for heroic
service in connection with military
operations against the enemy on
Okinawa island.
A supply sergeant in the 38lst
regiment, 98th division, Sergeant
Holt also saw service with the
"Deadeye" division in the liberation
of Leyte. He also wears the combat
infantryman's badge.
In awarding the Bronze Star to
Sergeant Holt, Maj. Gen. J. L. Brad
ley, division commander, cited him
as follows:
During a strong enemy counter
attack, Sergeant Holt (then private
first class), platoon messenger, on
his own initiative and without ord
ers, left covered position in order
that he might re-supply the COM
pany front with badly needed am
munition and grenades. In order to
accomplish this, Sergeant Holt made
numerous trips through the intense
enemy fire and exploding grenades
from foxhole to foxhole along the
entire front distributing ammuni-
ton and instilling courage in the
men by his brave actions. When the
need for litters arose, he was again
at work, acting as guide and litter
bearer to evacuate the wounded.
Sergeant Hollis untiring efforts and
initiative in the face Of enemy ac-
ton won the admiration of his COM
rades and reflects great credit upon
and the military service
Staff Sergeant Holt is the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Newton O. Holt Of
4060 Woodland Avenue, Western
Springs. He was graduated from
Lyons Township High School in
1913.

tractor Tires Should

Nechanized farm operators should
vse part Of their time during the
winter months to check the tires on
their tractors, in the opinion oi
Cwin-Lail Company, Lexington
ferguson System dealer here.
Mr.. Lail pointed out that longer
Life and more economical operation
ere based upon simple precautions
Hike putting anti-freeze into water
ulled tires, repairing injured tires
keeping accurate tire pressure and
storing the vehicle proprely.
Denatured alcohol or calcium
chloride are satisfactory anti-freeze
agents, according to Mr.. Lail. Cal
cium is practical as it is heavier than
water when dissolved, adds to the
weight per gallon, and does not
harm the tube. He warns that in
preparing the solution, water should
be poured into the container first,
then proper amount Of calcium chic
ride added.
Injured tires should be taken to
= reliable service station for per-
manent repair, Mr.. Lail says, al
though temporary repair may be
made by the farmer. II the side wall
or tread rubber Is cut through and
fabric exposed, the cut should be
washed out with gasoline and filled
with tread-out repair gum to pre-
vent moisture and dirt working In
and damaging the fabric.
Makeshift repair for cuts and cord
body breaks can be made by Install
ing a cemented cord patch on the
inside, and filling in the outside OF
the injury with tread-cut repair
gum
Pointing out that both over-infla-
ton and initiation are harm
1al to tires, the Ferguson dealer
urges that a low-pressure gauge De
used to check pressure at least once
weekly.
As unprotected tires will deteri-
urate nearly as rapidly while idle as
when in normal use, the tractor
