Holmes Formers Urged
To Plant Plenty Oots

eve will need a record acreage
planted to oats this fall" according
to George L. Evans, assistant county
agent. Many acres Of abandoned cot
ton and corn following the wet
spring should be made ready Tor fali
oats by keeping the land well disked
and narrowed, he said.
Give fields that have grown up IN
weeds attention as soon as possible.
Now, rake, and burn dock and other
weeds TO destroy matured weed
seeds. Keep such land free OF other
weed growth from now until time
to plant oats. Such practices win
reduce the spread Of weeds that are
now destroying too much good land.
Farmers who expect to plant oats
this fall are again urged to get their
seed oats now. Those who wait until
planting time to see about seed oats
will not be able to get them except
at very high prices, if at all.
A record oat acreage planted tnis
fall will contribute more than ever
to meeting our own grain needs ana
the needs of the famine areas OF the
world. We have never produced
enough grain for our needs. "A large
oat crop as a regular practice on
most farms is especially desirable
under present short labor conditions.

Farmers Should Exercise
Care In Cutting Timber
Low QuoIity Trees
Should Be Disposed
Of immediately

Farmers often slaughter their tim
Der when prices are relatively high
because they do not know the rate
at which value of the timber in
creases, says George L. Evans. as
sistant conuty agent.
For instance, at $40 per thousand
board feet, a l0-inch tree is worth
only 20 cents as a sawlog If the tree
were cult, it would take 80 years to
replace it. ~ a'. @
If this l0-inch tree is allowed to
grow 6 years and reach II inches,
its value is So cents, nearly triple
the 10-inch value. In IL years it will
reach IA inches and be worth $l08,
or better than five times Its value
at 10 inches.
BY allowing this tree to stand for
6, IL or more years, you can make
about 36 per cent interest annually
On your investment. '@ 'st
II the price should not remain at
$40, but dropped to So a thousand
board feet, the 8 year old tree would
be worth 46 cents, or more than
twice its l0-inch value. II prices fall
back to 81 a thousand as they did
in 1926. the tree would still be
worth a little more in s years than
it is now and in IL years. it would
double its present value.
High prices for relatively poor
quality products make this the time
to dispose of low quality trees. Cut
the imby, knotty, crooked trees and
cut out the diseased ones. Save the
young. thrifty trees as a bank ac-
count drawing 20 to 35 per cent in
terest, which can be made into q
steady annual income.

'CoIvoulr1eId Man Found i
Dead Monday Night

Emanuel Austin, so, colored man,
was killed at his home in Lexington
Monday night. He lived alone.
According to reports neighbors
heard scuffing and two shots
fired. They notified the Sheriffs
office which Investigated.
Austin was manager of the Elite
Billiard Hall owned by Mann Smith.
Smith, who had known the dead
man all of his life, said he was a
good man and never had any
trouble with anyone. As far as he
(Smith) knew Austin had no
enemies.
When officials investigated they
found the back door Of the Austin

County Will Use
Money For Bridges
Goodmun-Ebenezer
Rood Will Also
Be Improved

Hon. Sidney Roebuck, chairman of
the State Highway Commission, met
with the Holmes County Board of
Supervisors Monday and presented
to them a plan whereby two bridges
on the Acona road can be put under
maintenance of the State Highway
Department. The road itself is
already under state maintenance but
the bridges are maintained by the
county.
Mr.. Roebuck's proposition was
having the Board of Supervisors
build these two bridges, Bophumpa
and Funnagusha, up to specifications
prescribed by the Highway Depart
ment. This will involve an expendi-
ture of about $50,O0O of the farm-to-
market money received by Holmes
county this year.
This road will then be off the
hands of the Board of Supervisors
with the building of these bridges.
According to statement of the
Supervisors this road with its
bridges has presented some of the
toughest problems facing super
visors in this county for years. Mem
bers of the present board feel that
by taking virtually all of the coun-
ty's -to-market money for one
year and putting it under state
maintenance the problem can be
solved for all time to come.
Get $63.033.33
Holmes county will receive $685.
033.33 under the farm-to-market
road program, a Federal Aid pro-
ject, for the years 1946. 1947, and
1948. Projects selected to be built
or improved under this program
have to be approved by the Federal
authorities. All work has to be done
under the supervision of the State
Highway Department after plans
and specifications have been approx
ed by the Federal road authorities.
Under this program for 1946
Holmes county will secure the two
bridges mentioned and about twenty
miles of improved roads.
Goodman n-Ebenezer Rood
Roads designated for improve
ment under the farm -to-marke pro-
gram are seelcted on priority basis
and that basis is determined by the
traffic on the road The traffic count
is made by the State Highway De-
partment.
Under these regulations the road
between Goodman and Ebenezer
has been placed in the number one
spot in Holmes county and this l2.9
mile stretch will in all probability
be improved this year.
Pork Borrel Bill
Many persons in the county have
the impression that the money re-
Gently appropriated by the legisla-
ture, better known as the Pork
Barrel bill, was sufficient to do ex-
tensive road and bridge improve
ments in the county.
As a matter of fact Holmes county
will receive only $68,042.90 from this
Each of the five
beats will receive only one-fifth OF
this amount. This money has to be
used first for repairing school bus
routes and second for repairing mail
routes. With this limited amount OF
money very little repair work can
be done.

cording to State Superintendent of
Education J. M. Tubb. This act pro-
vides for a permanent lunch pro-

etc, of $374,38B.96 and $1,806, ,330.24

the authority to designate the state
agency in the event the legislature

poses and Honorable Jefferson
Davis, Administrative Assistant to
Governor Bailey will recommend in
a few days that the Governor poll

sippi.
In the l945-46 session 931 schools
operated federally aided lunch pro-
grams and provided lunches in
average daily participation for 103,-
83l school children. Mr.. Tubb be-
lieves that the people OF Mississippi
appreciate this program and viii en-
dorse such an. authorization from
the legislators to the Governor for
its continued operation under state

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
~ HAZEL BRANNoN

An open letter to the Daily
Worker PM, and others of your
kind:
MIR. Bilbo goes back to Washingt-
on.
He goes there because he has been
able to sell the people of the state
Of Mississippi on the idea that he
is thorn in your side which
is undoubtedly true.
The people of Mississippi are not
in sympathy with you and your
policies. Your ideals and ideas are
foreign to everything we cherish.
You do not have our respect . . i.
much less our admiration.
When you smear Senator Bilbo
and attempt to tell the people of
Mississippi to defeat him you are
actually serving as his best adver-
tisement. The louder you curse him
the better it is for him you are
acting as his press agents the
best he could have and it doesn't
cost him one red cent.
The people of Mississippi will
never permit any outsider to tell
them how to vote :. which is only
decent and right. 1t is none of your
business who we send to Washing
ton.
We personally did not vote for
Bilbo ;. never have but if you
keep your chatter for the next six
years even we might be found in

Sincerely yours,
HAZEL BRANNON.

p. S. The above applies equally
to the Saturday Evening Post, Col
Hers, Time and Life ;. and all Of
the other so called liberal magazines
which flood our nation. While the
last group is not quite as vile as PM
and The Daily Worker it is equally
as vicious and anti-Southern. We
feel that people of the South should
boycott every one of you but
this advice we will give you without
charge if you want to get rid
of Bilbo just stop playing him up
-. giving him any space. Give him
the silence treatment. That will work
when nothing else will.
Tom @. Ellis should be, and un-
doubtedly is, proud Of the vote he
received in his native county and
throughout the state. Entering the
race at the last moment his CAM
paign was testimonial to his per-
sonal popularity throughout the
state where has been popular

WOLVES IN MOUNT MCKINLEY

Several prominent scientists, well-known throughout Alaska. have testified before the House Committee on Public Lands for the extermination of wolves in Mount Mckinley National Park.
 Their testimony was heard when a bill was being considered which provides, in part, that "the Secretary of the Interior shall take such action as may be neceS- sary, including the immediate re- duction in the humber of wolves, coyotes, and other predatorS in Mount Mckinley National Park, to the end that the said refuge shall become and be maintained as a safe sanctuary for the Dall white mountain sheep, caribou, and other Wildlife, except preda- tors, native to the area" The bill, introduced by Congressman An gell of Oregon, has the active sup port of the Camp Fire Clubs of America.
 The Department of the Interior has reported unfavorably on this bill stating that the Secretary al ready has power of discretion in taking steps to control the wolves and coyotes in the park. However, it is the desire of those who testi- fled for the measure that the bill be strengthened by directing the Secretary of Interior to eliminate all predators which prey on mountain sheep, caribou and other wildlife in the Park.
 Among those testifying in favor of stronger version of Congress- man Angell's bi:i were Belmore Browne, one of the first men to climb Mount Mckinley; Bradford Washburn, Director, New England Museum of Natural History; Dr. James Clark of the American Mu- scum of Natural History in New York; and Stephen Capps, we'll
