Plant Oats Now

Poultry producers, if you have not
already done SO, it is advisable for
you to plant small patches around
your house or poultry houses in oats
in order that your chickens will
have supply of green feed throu-
ghout the winter. This green feed
is necessary in producing poultry
of any kind, especially laying hens.
1t is still not late to plant these
patches in oats for your poultry.

the County Agents office with Mr..
c. M Chafee, IVA Unit Demonstr-
alton Supervisor of the State of
Mississippi, w. r. Sullivan, County
Agent, G. L. Evans, Assistant Coun-
ty Agent and E. r. Trootman, AAA

for the carrying out of farm demon
stratoins for 1947. Each farmer
stated that he had received much
benefit from the materials being
furnished by the IVA in helping to
improve their farms. Materials be-
ing furnished by the IVA at present
is mostly triple superphosphate. This
triple superphosphate is donated to
these demonstration farmers by the
IVA Authorities for the purpose of
determining the increase in product
ion by the use of these materials. 1t
can be used only on pastures and
cover crops at present and each
farmer stated that they were salts
fled with the increase in production
of their pastures and cover crops.
They state that their pastures hold
out longer in the summer than pas
lures that were not treated with
these materials. The following farm
ers are members of the IVA Unit
Test Demonstrators of Holmes Co
unity: Clay Aldy, K. D. Henry, B. S.
Parkinson, j. D. Parrish, ST., w. j.

ties please observe these demonstra-
tors in order that you may see the
need of minerals applied to the soils
in your area.

CURRENT COMMENT
BY Henry Willis

ing and the next there were none.
They are in the Amazon forests by
now. Last night the chimney sweeps
were pouring literally into a
Court House chimney, the last one
falling in at $50 They may be here
when you read this (if you do) may
be not. Why they picked that one
chimney instead of any or all, of the
other three that look exactly like
it only a chimney sweep can tell,
buy many hundreds, perhaps thou
sands dropped into the one chimney.
Some day soon, and it's little early
for them, every swallow will be
gone and not seen again until next
spring.

The Last 10y OF i MS MontHs MOH-

have chance to approve or reject
a factory to be located here. The
election is to Authorize the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen to issue not
more than a hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in city bonds to be used
to erect building to be leased to
an industry that will give employ
ment to a considerable number OF
our ladies and some men in the max
ing of garments. 1t will mean a very
considerable weekly payroll-money
paid to those who wish to have it
The money will be spent for wanted
things from toys and buttons to cars
and homes. The property, is to be
Leased to an Industry Approved by
the State BAWI Board, by the MEM
bers of the local Chamber OF Com
merce; interested citizens and the
City Fathers, at such a figure as
will amortise (pay off the bonds
and interest as they become due
so that at the end of the bond period
the City will own the property debt
free. It's hard to see any valid rea-
son to vote agains the propostal. IL

Secretary of Commerce Wallace
has Just made a speech on our for
eign policy to a meeting of "pinks''
directly disputing what Secretary OF
State Byrnes stated to be U. 5.
Policy in his speech at Stuttgart,
Germany, last week. That might not
have been too bad had the Presi-
dent not confessed that he had read
the speech-of Wallace-before it
was delivered and returned it with
out comment. The incident, very
crippling to the efforts of our rep
resentatives at the Peace Confer
ence in Paris, suggests what mar
row escape we had when the last

succeeded in persuading Sidney Hill

A large turnout is expected at
the Tom O. Ellis political rally Fri
day night in Lexington. The Lexing-
ton School band will play and other
musical features have been planned
Mr.. Ellis, Supreme Court Clerk OF
Mississippi, is well known native
citizen of Holmes county and has a
host of friends here who will be
pulling for him in his candidacy for
the u. S. Senate.
There is probably no candidate in
the race for the Senate who knows
personally more people in the state
of Mississippi than Mr.. Elliott. He
has been active in the Baptist
Church, Masonic Order and Order OF
the Eastern Star for many, many
years.
Born on the same farm Is his
father, the late Rev. J. T. Ellis, near
Bowling Green, Mr.. Tom grew to
young manhood at Goodman and
Durant. He finished high school at
DuraAt. As a youth he worked for
the Illinois Central System in Du-
rant as a telegraph operator. He COM
pleted twenty years Of service with
the railroad at Water Valley where
he moved from Durant.
He ran for the office Of clerk OF
the Supreme Court and was elected
by the largest majority ever given a
candidate for a state office at that
time. He has held that office for the
past sixteen years being unopposed
for the last two terms.
Mr.. Ellis is bound to get splendid
vote in Holmes county and should
poll considerable vote in the state.
Everyone is cordially invited to be
present Friday night in Lexington at
Beall Athletic Field. In the event OF
rain the rally will be moved to the
courthouse.
