LespedeZa should be sown in oats
in February or the early part OF
March, common or Kobe at the rate
of Is pounds per acre for grazing.
Korean will produce good hay on
heavy soils. Plant 40 pounds OF Kor-
can per acre. Don't sow lespedeza
on white Dutch clover sod, the clio
yer will choke the lespedeza out
One of the common causes OF les
pedeza failures is planting too late.
If you are planning to plant dallis
grass, SOW on prepared seed pea
| in late February or early March'
Use Is to 20 pounds of good high
terminating seed. Drilling gives
best results.
Do not plant any white Dutch
clover in the spring. Wait until
August and September before plant
| ing white Dutch.
Forest Practice Payments
This year forestry practice pay
ments are over and above the gem
eral farm allowance. You can earn
them only by carrying out forestry
practices.
Before 1947, payment for carry
ing out forestry practices was part
of the general farm allowance and
any payment for carrying out fores-
try practices reduced the amount OF
payment available for other farm
practices.
This year payment will be made
for building firebreaks, if not more
than so percent of the enclosed area
is burned. This should be an incent-
i've to farmers to stop any fire that
breaks out.
Up until this year, 80 cents per 100
linear feet was paid for building
firebreaks only is no part OF the
surrounded area burned. The result
was that once a fire got started, the
owner figured he had lost his pay
ment and oftentime didn't try to
stop the fire.
If vour farm has no woodland but
has lands that should be in woods,
planting payment of not more than
$500 is available If you have wood
land on your farm, an allowance OF
10 cents an acre is available for for
estry practices.
Payment for planting farm wood
land trees is $500 an acre, for
woodland improvement $500 an acre
and for building firebreaks, 80 cents
per 100 feet.
In counties which have adopted
as their optional practices an addit-
ional forestry practice, a payment
of 5 cents an acre for all acre OF
woodland not burned during l947
is provided.
Keep Fires In Control
Lots of people burn off their
fields to make spring blowing easier.
And, some of them don't take any
steps to keep these fires within
bounds. They don't think OF the
damage an uncontrolled fire can do.
A wild fire in forest kills young
seedlings. It burns scars on bases
of trees, opening the way for attack
by disease and rot. 1t removes the

cover from the ground and lets more
water run off the ground surfaces.
1t increases erosion and flood haz-
ards on large and small streams
Silt and ashes washed into streams
kill fish. A fire kills forest wildlife
1t lessons the amount of water thai
goes into the soil, reduces life in the
soil, and leads to a dry, packed
non-porous soil.
Cottonseed
If you have not secured cotton
seed for planting, be sure to do so at
once, as setd are going to be very
scarce. think that know where WI
can get Is to 20 tons of DPL for the
farmers of Holmes county, who have
not been able to buy any seed SO
far. So, if you will contact me very
soon, / will be glad to put you IN
touch with dealers having this seed.
Fertilizer
/ have recently bought car OF
mixed fertilizer, 5-10-5 for farmers
who have not been lucky enough to
purchase fertilizer elsewhere. If you
have not been able to buy and fer
tilizer and do not know where you
can get any, will be glad to let you
have limited amount as long cs
this car lasts. You had better make
arrangements at once, as it Will not

other material to carry on your
farming operations will be glad to
work with you or help you secure
any seed or fertilizer that I possibly
/ can. 1t may be that we can get sew
eral cars of mixed fertilizer 5-10-5
This fertilizer is good for cotton and

BirdweN Attacks Dietrich;
Intends to Sue for Libel
Former Hughes Publicity Man Says He
Did Spend $100 to Entertain Jones

Russell Birdwell, a publicity
man for Howard Hughes from
1910 to 1916, announced today
he was filing a 100000 libel
suit against Noah Dietrich, exec
utive vice president of the
Hughes Tool Co., because of tes-
timony concerning Mr. Birdwelrs
expense account involving en-
tertainment of Jesse Jones, for
mer chairman of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp, in 1912.
Abrupt adjournment of the Sen
ate committee on Mr.. Hughes war
Contracts this morning caused Mr.
Birdwell to call a press conference
at the Wardman Park Hotel and to
outline the testimony he would have
given if he had had an opportunity
to take the stand.
He not only denied Mr.. Dietrich's
testimony that he had padded his
expense account by listing unau-
thorized entertainment of Mr.. Jones,
but he said he spent approximately
500 "on taXis, private cars and so
forth" for Mr.. Jones.
Among items he included under
the land so forth heading were two
bottles of bourbon whisky he said
he delivered personally to Mr.. Jones

smashed to bits and our hardwood
mast was carried away. The steer
ing oar went and the cross logs from
the stern and the bow. But the main
logs held together, and we all chung
to them, hoping for a chance to leap
from them to some protruding coral
and make our way along them to the
shore.
Finally our chance came, and we
jumped onto some sharply pointed
coral, along which we made our way
about 600 yards to shore. We are
still there on a tiny uninhabited
island.
We made several trips out to the
stranded logs which constitute the
remains of our raft, and we have
rescued most of our equipment. We
also have our water. and food sup
plies, and we are sleeping under the
large kon-tiki sail-now stretched
between two trees.
We will try to get the remaining
logs into some quiet lagoon here, and
possibly we will be able to find some
natives who can help us salvage the
remains.
i We are all in good condition and
feel thankful that we have beer
able to save such things as food
water and an improvised radio.
