HEALTH NOTES
POLIO

Everyone, I am sure is greatly
concerned and anxious about the
near epidemic of polio in our state
and in the nation. Our anxiety is
ever greater because we do not
know definately how it is transmit
ted. Our best authorities r work
ing on a solution to this problem
just as they did to solve the prob
lem of the spread of Yellow Fever
not so many years ago. AS it stands
today the house fly is n OF the
accused and may prove to be the
principle mean of transmitting
polio. 1t, therefore behooves us to
use every precaution against the
house fly. 1t is claimed by some
that fewer cases of polio have devel-
oped where DOT was sprayed than
in other areas where it was not. The
object of this letter is to urge that
we leave no stone unturned to pro-
tect our children from this dreaded
disease. Our house may bepractic-
ally free of flies, but we should be
on the alert to keep u premises
free of flies. This can be done only
by diligently looking after the pro.
per disposal Of all garbage ano
waste around the place, not just TO.

We praise God for the Holy Bible,
we praise Him for the blessed ex-
perience Of Holiness as laugh in the
Bible. The people who lived back
under the law, was commanded to
BE We Holy for l am the Lord"
These words were engraved on or
in Their tabernacle Holiness to the

Today many laugh and make light
about people living a Holy life. They
say it can't be done. But Jesus said
in His word it could be. Heb. liza.
Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which no man shall
see the Lord. Having Therefore these
promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness
of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God" Eph.
4:24.
Dear Reader do you have this
blessed experience? If not, you can.
"For God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but unto holiness"
Thess. Al. The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is long
suffering to us-ward, not willing
tot any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. For the
day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night; in the which the heav-
ems shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat, the earth also
and the works that are therein shall
be burned up. Seeing then that all
these things shall be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought We to be

CONSERVATION NOTES
BY R.. ]. Ross

Since the organization of the Hol-
mes County Soil Conservation Dis
trict approximately $50 acres have
been seeded to sericea leSpedeza in
the county. iris perennial legume
is well adapted to u poorer, well
drained, soils which r not suitable
for the growth of plants which re-
quire more moisture and fertility.
Sericea, commonly known as hill
land alfalfa, has a number of uses
which makes it a very desirable
crop. Many farmers are using 1t as a
grazing crop in their permanent pas
ture program. Due to its deep root
system, it is able to thrive during
dry weather when other l~espedeza's
and pasture grasses furnish very
little grazing. Mrs. Allen Douglas
of Goodman, Mr.. Hoover Maxwell
of Pickens. w. H. Diggs, and j. L.
Buck of Acona, r among those
farmers utilizing sericea as a pasture
crop.
Many farmers likewise, have
found sericea to be an excellant hay
crop, with as many as three cuttings
being obtained in one season. MIR. l..
P. johnson of Lexington, Mr.. V. 0
| Ingold of Owens Wells, and Mr.. HI.
French of Bowling Green, are using
it in this manner. These farmers all
report a good yield of high quality
hay.
In recent weeks a number of far
mers have been applying basic Stag
to their pastures. Most farmers who
| are using it find that an application
| of from 500 to 1000 pounds per acre
is most satisfactory. Since basic
! Stag contains approximately go
phosphate and $50 lime this means
that the above application will fur.
| nish from 200 to 400 pounds OF 20%
, superphosphate along with the lime.
The AAA has recently received a
limited supply of Stag, and farmers
are urged to apply as soon as pos
sible for their allotment.

WeeviI ~Infestation
Continues To Mount

State College, (SpeciaD.-Except
in poisoned fields, the boil weevil
is now destroying nearly all squares
produced in most sections of Mis-
sissippi announced the State Plant
Board today. A few counties along
the Tennessee line still have low in
festations in some fields but infesta-
tons as high as A percent in Alcorn,
So percent in Tunica, 100 percent in
Pamela, and 80, 48, SO, and Sc per-
cent in a fields in Tate county indi-
cate large numbers of weevils in the
northern part Of the state. Small
bolls are being destroyed and one
Plant Board inspector reported bolls
with 3 to 6 grubs in them. Five fields
examined in Oktibbeha county
averaged 95 percent infestation.
No leafworm have yet been re-
ported in the Northeastern part OF
the state, according to l.. ]. Good
game, inspector at Aberdeen.
Poisoning during the past 2 OF :
weeks has paid well. The Peoples
Bank and Trust Company at Tupele
reported infestations which ranged
from so to so percent ten days ago
after poisoning were down to 7 to
Is percent this week.
busting for the protection OF small
bolls will pay well in all cotton
carrying a fair crop, says Clay Lyle
entomologist Of the Board, in urg-
ing that all farmers with well-fruit-
ed plants keep close watch on their
fields. Weevils are now moving from
fold to field and two applications
of calcium arsenate, preferably witt
nicotine in one Of them, spaced about
S days apart, should pay better thar
at any other time in cotton worth
protecting.
The beneficial effects of early de-
struction of cotton stalks has beer
especially noticeable in Texas this
wear. and DR.. Lyle is urging Missis'
sinpi farmers, especially in sections
where the crop will mature early

quickly as possible. followed i'm
