Termites Bother?
FILA Will Aid You
Agency Will Finance a Home or
Farm improvements.

Have you a little termite that
you'd like to get out of the base.
board? Or would you like a fine new
Dashboard? Do you live in a nice
warm climate where a patio would
come in handy, or up in the north
ern states where the most impor-
tant thing around the house is the
! furnace? Are you yearning for a
barbecue pit, a chicken house, a
lightning rod or two, some land
scaping, a silo, a fence or perhaps
just a flag pole for use come July 4?
Most particularly, have you unused
quarters which could be remodeled
for veterans housing?
Fulfilling your desire isn't diff
cult, for all these items are among
things which can be financed
through FILA, according to a list
compiled by Commercial Credit
corporation of Baltimore, Md,
which last year did one of the larg-
est FILA financing totals in the ma
ton.
FILA, for instance, is as opposed
to termltes as you are; it is willing
to help you get rid of them. It
isn't opposed to patios wherever
they come in handy and furnaces
wherever needed. 1t has been trying
hard to get the World War II vet
eran who is in need of a home some
reasonable place to live.
Any number of improvements to
home and farm also can be financed
through FILA.
Instituting improvements is a
simple process, and the home
owner or farmer who wishes to i'm
prove his property has the protec-
ton given bv congress = when it
passed the FILA law. The finance
rate is set by FILA regulation.
Under the FILA, amounts up to
$1,000 may be financed in the ordi-
nary manner; under certain condi-
tons larger amounts will be ap- |
proved. Owners of property, equity |
holders or individuals renting who
can pass a simple credit test are
eligible, but leases must run for at
least six months after final maturity
OF the notes. The majority of the
notes, incidently, may run from 6 to
80 months. However, where Presi-
dental proclamation has declared
that an acute shortage of housing
exists or impends-and such proc
lamations include a large portion
OF the United StateS-notes covering
remodeling or converting to pro-
vide living quarters for World War
II veterans may run up to five, and
seven, years.

Raising Cabbage

Two essentials in growing cab
bage, caulifower and broccoli are
an early start and uninterrupted
rapid growth because of being
pushed with applications of nitrogen
through side-dressings of poultry
droppings or of nitrate. Plants that
are not well on the way to maturity
when warm weather comes rarely
succeed well; this is true even OF
cabbage, but much more so of the
others. The best setting month is
March.

Damping-0f

Drenching the soil with a solution
of 11a gallons of water and l ounce
of Spergon Cor in proportion, ac-
cording to needs) to a depth of
about half an inch is an effective
control for damping-off in plant
beds. The material will not cure
affected plants. but will protect
healthy plants from the disease. In
large beds, drenching only affected
areas has proved effective. A spray
er or water can with a fine nozzle is
good for applying the solution.

WiIdIife In Mississippi

Our readers may be surprised to learn that Mississippi
wildlife, regarded by many as rapidly waning, actually has a value
of S42, 100000. or as much as $500 per capita The over-al ecoho-
mic value of wldlife in the state amounts to thirty-seven and one
half million dollars each year. -,
A wildlife inventory shows the value of game birds ana
animals in the wild in Mississippi to be more than twenty mnnoh
dollars. The Mississippi Game and Fish Commission is response
bic for these figures.
Regarding the known take last year the Commission says
The value of game birds and animals known to be killed by nun
fers last year in Mississippi was &c. OILS, 900. Fur animals caught
by trappers amounted to $750,000. CThe fur industry for the year
before was worth one and one-quarter million dolars) CONNER
cal fresh water fish such as Buffalo, Carp and cat fish caught
last year were valued at 100000. representing an average an
nual income of 81, 10000 to $500 licensed commercial fishermen.
In addition more than three million pounds of game fish were
Taught with a value of ST 100000. These figures do not include
the important seafood industry which flour1shes on the GuiI
Coast.
The attraction of wildlife in the state brought more than
six thousand hunters and fishermen last year who spent more
than a million and a half dollars here. There are at present more
quail, according to A. A. Leggitt of the Game and Fish Commits
sion.
Wildlfe, accding to Mr.. Leggitt, under favorable condi-
tions can come back fast. The take can go as high as forty per-
cent, he said, without endangering breeding stock. More than five
hundred deer are known to have been killed this season and the
number will probably reach one thousand by the end of the sea-
son.
The Game and Fish Commission, operating entirely on fees,
has done what appears to be a splendid job. 1t does not receive
any money from the legislature.
Work accomplished includes the building of 4018 fish
ponds over the state during the past year, $4,000 in the past five
years; delivery of more than six million fish during the year to
stock those ponds; operation of seven game refugees with more
than $4,000 acres for growing game to restock other areas.
Over 100000 people enjoy hunting and fishing every year
IN mississippi signifying pleasure and recreation that can't be
marked with a dollar tag.
Every effort should be made by sportsmen and the public
20 cooperate with the Game and Fish Commission in the program
and at the same time protect our widfe with sane and reasonable
laws.

stock, he pointed out, with beef cat

velopment of the livestock industry
could certainly help build up the
south's income level with the rest

The capital required for livestock
is so much less in the south than
elsewhere in the whole United
States, he said.
A herd of $50 head on 1900 acres
in Nebraska represents an invest
ment of some $500. or $500. per COW

This is considered a good or nomi-

One hundred cows in this section

Behind The Scenes In
AMERICAN BUSINESS
BY KNIGHT

NEW YORK = Maybe business
should take to its storm cellars. The
economists of the Department Of
Commerce have just come out with
an optimistic prediction for 1948.
Boom conditions will continue in
almost every American industry. is
the prediction. This is the same de-
partment-though probably not the
same men-who, in 1915, predicted
there would be six million to eight
million jobless by the middle Of 1916.
The memory of that prediction is
likely to haunt the Commerce De-
partment for a long time to come.
So business car be excused today
If it wonders what inspires such
an optimistic attitude by a our
that, in the past, has used economic
projections for its own purposes.
Anyhow, the department now ex-
poets a sustained demand through
the year for steel. 1t seems some
help in the steel situation from the
new facilities being bought into pro-
duction. The automobile industry,
it believes, will turn out five million
cars and one million trucks. And
just to top off the optimum of optim-
ism. it thinks butter will be more
plentiful.
HOME BUILDING BOOM - The
Bureau of Labor Statistics is opti-
mistic too. BY the end of the year
construction will have begun more
than 100000 new permanent dwell
ings. making l947 the best home
building year since 1925, it predicts.
Unprecedented demand, of course,
accounts for this huge amount OF
home construction, and n thing
helping make it possible is the fact
that manufacturers are turning out
record quantities of materials. Pro-
duction of Ceramic tile, for instance
reached the highest rate in history
during September and is expected
to 60 even higher bfore the years
end. The new peak, based on Sept
ember manufacture, was at the an
nual rate of 97,824,000 square feet
or 3,618,000 square feet more thar
the previous production rate, achiev'
ed in 1926. This volume assures home
builders an adequate supply OF cera
mic tile for new bathrooms and kit
chens in the 100000 new dwelling
expected to be built in le48, con
s~truction experts point out.
THINGS TO COME-The flames
