Posteurized Milk Is Step Forward

One of the greatest steps forward in the history of Lexing-
ton has been the passing of an ordinance by the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen providing that only Pasteurized milk may be sold
legally in the city limits of Lexington.
-Four cases of undulant fever have been reported in Holmes
County SO far this year and all of them were caused from drink
ing raw milk.
Now the citizens of Lexington and vicinity can buy germ
free, safe milk for their families and at very little cost from the
raw, unsafe milk. At the time the milk ordinance was passed by
the Board raw milk was selling in Lexngtons grocery Stores for
II to 10 cents per quart. Today Pasteurized milk is selling for FL
cents a quart. Only two to four cents difference in the cost but
what a difference in the margin of safety! Only a very foolish
person would risk the health of his family for so little.
The Henry Ice and Cold Storage Company has rendered a
very district service to Lexington by installing at great expense
a Pasteurizing plant large enough to Pasteurize every drop of milk
used in Lexington and Holmes County. 1t deserves the generous
patronage of our citizens.
This plant is not now operating at capacity. A. least 200
more gallons or raw milk are needed daily to provide enough milk
for Lexington and vicinity. Milk producers in the Holmes area are
being asked to sell their milk to the Lexington Pasteurizng plant
in order to furnish enough milk for this locality. The Henry plant
pays $50 per hundred weight on a four percent butterfat average
and this is as high as paid for grade A raw milk anywhere in the
state.
The whole community of Lexington profits as local industries
are established and business expands. The resulting payrols
materially aids every resident in the community. The more dollars
in circulation in Lexington the more everyone in the community
prospers.
What helps business helps YOU.
Only as the citizens of a community cooperate and pull to-
gether does it grow and develop.

1t will be noted that the Th@d Congressional District, OF
which Holmes County is a part cast the smallest vote OF any con-
gressional district in the state this IN spite OF the TACT tnaC
Governor Fielding L. Wright comes from Sharkey County in the
Third District.
OF course the small vote in the Third District stems from the
fact that all are Delta counties with a very small percentage OF
white citizens.
In the Senatorial race which will be decided on November Attn
in the General Election without the benefit OF a Democratic
Primary we have six candidates: Hon. John M. Rankin, of
Tupeo, Lee County, Congressman from First Congressional Dis
.trict; Forrest Jackson, of Jackson, Kinds County, in the Seventh
Congressional District; Paul B. johnson, Jr, of Hattiesburg, For
rest County, Sixth Congressional District; Hon. John Stennis. of
|DeKalb, Kemper County, Fifth Congressional District; Hon. Bill
.Comer, of Gufport, Harrison County, Congressman from the
Sixth Congressional District.
The sixth man is a Republican and doesn't count.
By taking the number of votes cast in the Democratic Pi-
mary and estimating how many will be cast in the Novem-
Der General Election and then figuring out how many your favo-
rite candidate ought to get out of those cast you can figure out
who will be elected to the u. S. Senate in November maybe

Industry And Duiryinq

A great deal has been said and written in this paper about
the need for industry in Lexington. The industry question has
been discussed pro and con in Lexington for a long time and while
not too much concrete has been accomplished the idea for an
industry to be brought to Lexington has by no means been
abandoned.
In the meanwhile it might not be a bad idea to point out a
possible industry for Lexington and Holmes County that would
not involve the expenditure of any public money and not too much
money by individuals.
We are referring to the dairy industry.
We have in Holmes County what amounts to a year round
climate suitable for dairying. More milk is needed in this section
and good prices are being paid for it. There is a local outlet for
every drop of milk produced from Grade A barns at a good price.
Dairying has not prospered too much because it is such an
every day job. A COW has to be MIXED every day, 365 days a year,
including Sunday. This job is too regular for some of us who
like our slack seasons.
But there is money to be made in dairying right here in
Holmes County and the farm family looking for additional in
come would do well to investigate the possibilities of dairying.
The farms which have the incest homes, barns and fences
the farm families who send their children to school well fed
and clothed and housed are the farms that produce and work
300 days a year. Not just a few months in the year.

RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH
OF BROTHER ALBERT SESSIONS
POVAI.I.

Once again III Masonic chain has
been broken, and we are called upon
to consider the shortness of life and
the uncertainty of it's continuance;
remembering that soon our labors
will be over and others will be called
to fill our seats.
On Sunday, September IA, 1947
God, in His infinite wisdom visited
the Povall home, and there called
from labor to refreshment the soul
of our beloved Brother, Albert SEES
sions Povall.
The Masonic activities of Brother
Povall began July 8, 1929 when he
was raised to the sublime degree of
Master Mason. From that date he
took a very active part in all branch
es of Masonry. He served as Master
of his lodge in 1934-1937, and as
High Priest of the Chapter in 1886.
He served as a member of the fl
nance committee of the Grand Chap
ter r. A. M. of Mississippi in 1914
and 1945 and was chairman of the
building committee at the time of
his passing. He has always, through
out his Masonic life, been active, use
full, and well-informed, especially in
the ritual and the law. He gave
cheerfully of his time in instructing
his less-informed brothers. He
always took an active and positive
stand for what he thought was right
and best for the order. In his COM
munity life he was always ready and
willing to give of his services when
needed. He was a good, true, and
square workman, both in Masonry
and in his personal and civic life.
Brother Povall will be greatly
missed in the community. We can
not soon forget his kindly touch,
his friendly smile, and his word for
counsel. The memory of his good
deeds, his worthy example and his
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-10-23

love, zeal, and influence will long
continue as a sweet incense burning
on the affairs of the hearts Of all
who knew him and loved him. Let
us remember that Brother Povall
is now residing in that Celestial
Lodge above, where the Supreme
Grand Master forever presldes' for
ever reigns.
Beyond that flight of time,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some blessed cline
Where life is not a breath;
Nor LIES affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward and
expire"
Therefore, be it resolved, that

The livestock farmers problem IS
how can / meet the present feed
situation without disrupting my live
stock program" He knows the back
ground of his problem is a short
corn crop and the necessity for con-
tlnued exports of large amounts of
food grain.
To solve this problem, he and
every farmer will have to use their
best judgment in feed and managing
their livestock during the year
ahead. Farmers who look on the
bright side of the problem will con-
tinue producing livestock in an or
gained way. If too many producers
look on the dark side of the picture,
our numbers of meat animals will
be crippled in the near future.
In the United States as a whole
our shortage of feed grains is o
severe than it was last year. On the
other hand, hay supplies are ade-
quate. And, the supply of protein
feeds is equal to or a little more than
last years supply. In the south, too,
we use relatively less grain for pro-
| ducing livestock than other sections.
In Mississippi, we have a shortage
Of grain, including corn and oats.
In some sections of the state, our hay
supplies are not adequate. Certain
protein feeds will be available in
reasonable amounts.
The solution to the feed situation
isn't to give up livestock farming.
Livestock farming aids in conserv-
ing soils and in future production
from our land. Suppose, as some peo-
pie suggest, we reduce the number
of livestock we have and then pro-
| duce a large crop of corn next year.
In that case, we would have the pro-
| blem of a surplus of corn to contend
with next spring.
Southern livestock producers VINO
look at the situation practically Will
save grain as much as possible IN
feeding their livestock. They Will
use pastures and roughages fully
balancing them with protein supple
mentS.
Large acreages of oats for gram
will take care of the local gram
shortage by next spring. There Is
still time to get oats in for gram.
One of the brighter spots in the local
feed situation is that cottonseed meal
and other protein feeds are avail
able to use with roughages.
Hog producers will find protelns'
as tankage, meat and bone scraps
and milk by-products, more a
abte tnan / n past years. They can
use these in finishing hogs, to r
marketed at lighter weights, This
will save corn and other grain.
Those farmers who have planted
winter oat pasture a save protein
feeds by grazing their livestock on
these pastures.
Management will play a big part
with your cattle during the feed
shortage. Management includes the
best of grass, oat pastures and winter
leeumes. 1t means using locally pro-
dueed proteins, like cottonseed meal
Molasses can make cows like low
grade roughages better. And, dom
forget control cattle grubs, horn and
stable flies, lice and ticks by using
dips and sprays,
Every farmer should protect his
corn crop this year from its two
worst enimies, weevils and rats. II
is estimated that weevils cause So
100000 worth of damage to corn eaci
year. Rats destroy about $50 worti
of feed on each farm annually.
