A good first baseman would take
q world of worry off Coach Burt

Ship has a small army of candi-

first, and that sack Is wide open
with three Johnnies-Ehatt, Nuttle

however, measures up to the coach S

although there isn't much to
choose between any of them.

Reliable cotton classification"
he said, 'is essential in marketing
if the farmer expects to realize the
greatest income from his crop. So
cotton growers would do well to
make plans to have their 1947 crop
classed free through a cotton i'm
provement group.
Reports show that farmers intend
to plant much less acreage to corn
this year than last. Except for 1941,
this country will plant the lowest
acreage to corn in SO years. Mississ-
ippi farmers intend to plant the
smallest acreage since 1880.
The nations acreage of oats for
harvest will be less than last year,
but the states acreage will be "a
percent larger. The states increase
in oats for grain will likely offset
the indicated reduced corn crop.
Hay acreage in Mississippi and in
the nation will be more than last
year.
These reports add up to the act
that Mississippi farmers will be even
shorter of grain and hay, and that
prices are extremely high and will
probably not be reduced but little
for some time yet.
With these facts in mind, farmers
should use all the nitrate fertilizers
that can be made available on corn.
The use of fertilizer is the most eff
ective way to increase corr prod
uction. A larger acreage planted on
good ground will also increase prod
uction.
The yield from every acre that can
be planted will not produce enough
corn t omeet the needs. This is also
true for hay. More soybeans, cow
peas, Alyce clover, sorghum and
Sudan grass can be planted to add
to the growing lespedeza crop.

proof that good practices in product

With planting time fast approach

consider the advantages offered thro-

Birth Weight Clue To Growth


The weight of a newborn beef
calf is a clue to the rate at which it
is likely to grow, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture has found.
USDA livestock specialists based
their findings on 400 Shorthorn beef
calves born as singles from 112 cows
bred to % different bulls.
The calves weighed an average of
70.5 pounds when they were born.
The smallest calf weighed 40 pounds
and the largest 100 pounds. The
calves tina weighed the most reach
ed a weaving weight of 500 pounds
sooner than the lighter ones.
OF the u steers fed to a slaughter
weight of 900 pounds, the ones that
weighed the most when they were
born and at weaving time, generally
were ready to kill the soonest.
The findings also showed that he
redity influences the birth weight
of calves. Some bulls always sired
heavier calves, while others sired
lighterweight ones The individual
influenced birth weight and
growth considerably.
The study showed that the birth
weight of calves tends to increase
with the age OF the dams until they
are 6 years. After the cows reach
this age, there is no more increase
in birth weight of calves.
The general result of the study
showed that it is well to consider
the birth weight of calves in select

Cotton Improvement Work

Members of cotton improvement
groups in Holmes county are produc-
ing better quality cotton, County
Agent w. r. Sullivan reported this
week.
Citing a report on cotton product
ion in 1916 by farmer-members of
cotton improvement groups the CO.
unity agent pointed out that Ais
percent of the cotton from this CO.
unity classed by the u. S. d. AS
Cotton Branch in Greenwood, was
middling and better, and that 99.8
percent showed a staple length of
1892 inches and longer. The pro-
portion of these samples reduced in
grade because of rough preparation
was 80 percent. This indicates that
good progress in cotton improve
ment is being made by organized
group members in this county, he
said.
Mr.. Sullivan further stated that or
ganized cotton improvement groups
in the county had a membership of
about 118 farmers last season. These
farmers planted approximately $500
acres of Cocker, Delta Pine Land and
Stoneville. From their production,
samples from 538 bales were sent
