Captain Sews Up Wounds,
Saves Sailors Life at Sea

BOMBAY, INDIA-A merchant
ship captain whose hobby is watch
ing surgeons at work performed an
operation by hashlight and saved
the life of a crew member who had
been stabbed IL times.
The four-hour operation was per-
formed without an anesthetic on
Karl Gilman, SO, of Plainfield, N. J..
His alleged assailant, Delbert Ruben
Irving, %, Huntsville, Tex, was
under arrest.
Gilman, third assistant engineer
of the Flying Clipper, was operated
on by Capt H. K. Carlsen, 33, of
Woodbridge, N. J. Gilman had two
severed arteries, one in each arm,
a deep cash in his throat and nine
other knife wounds in the head and
chest.
Carlsen applied tourniquets above
the severed arteries. Then while a
crew member held a flashlight, Carl
sen began the delicate task of sew
ing the arteries together and closing
the wounds, using a curved needle
and surgical gut.
Four times Gilman tainted as the
needle pierced his torn flesh. Each
time Carlsen revived him with
spirits of ammonia. It took 81
stitches to draw the cuts together.
Then he busted the wounds with sui
pha and applied bandages.

Juror Sits in on Wrong
Case; Causes MistriaI

y GREENVILLE, ALA.-An at
torney began his closing argu-
ment in a manslaughter case but
after a few dramatic sentences
a juror with a puzzled look stood
up.
"Judge, I'm sorry but I don't
remember anything about this
case" he said.
The roll was called-sure
enough, he hadn't sat in on the
case.
Circuit Judge A. E. Gamble
explained: The evidence was
completed and the jury released
for the night. One juror had an
automobile accident and couldn't
return.
The bewildered man, who was
on the jury list but not serving
on this case, walked in and took
a seat in the wrong jury box.
Judge Gamble declared a mis-
trial.

The red color of vegetables Is
due to their acid, and needs to be
kept that way. Tomatoes have
enough acid to keep their color,
but beets and red cabbage may need
a bit of lemon juice or white vine
gar in their water to keep red.
Sauces and toppings enhance
most vegetables. Cheese and white
sauce are old favorites, but you
might try mustard sauce with green
beans, crumbled bacon and bread
crumbs over spinach and hollan.

Nitrogen Con Boost
County Form Income
by w. r. Sullivan. County Agent

Nitrogen Con Boost
County Form Income
Farmers in Holmes county have
the opportunity to increase their
income Is per cent at any price
level.'
Plans have been laid for the con-
struction of a $13,000,000 nitrogen
plant in Mississippi which will pro-
duce enough nitrogen each year to
provide farmers in the state with
supply sufficient to boost their in
comes 25 per cent. 1t is planned to
finance the plant through the sale
of stock to Mississippi farmers. Farm
ers in Holmes county have the OPP
portunity to invest in this plant now.
See your banker and take out your
stock soon. The fact that the farmers
of the state will be the stockholders
in the proposed plant is an impor-
tant point. AS such, they will have
the say as to the price at which the
nitrogen will be sold, and they will
be sure of getting their share of the
production.
To demonstrate the Importance of
nitrogen to farmers, the actual ex-
perience of Mr.. w. H. Morgan of
Morgan City: In 1947, Mr.. Morgan
put thirty pounds of available nj
trogen on each acre of corn he had
on his plantation, and he made ap-
proximately thirty bushels of corn to
the acre. He picked out ten acres and
on those he put hundred and forty
four pounds of nitrogen. On that ten
acres, Mr.. Morgan made a hundred
and six bushels of corn per acre. In
other words, he put out an extra one
hundred and fourteen pounds of nj
trogen and got in return an extra
seventy six bushels of corn. That
means SIS worth of nitrogen pro-
duced $3.50 worth of corn. Expert

| in Mississippi.
With regard to the effect the lack
OF nitrogen can have, take the case
OF a Bolivar county farmer who
planted rs acres of cotton and made
only IL bales. He was unable to OBJ
tain single pound of nitrogen to
put under his cotton. This particular
farmer figures that if he had been
able to get 5000 worth of nitrogen
he would have made at least ten
additional bales of cotton worth
$1,000. Cost of the nitrogen to pro-
duce this increased yield would have
been less than $4,000.
The present nitrogen shortage,
which is causing state farmers to lose
tens of millions of dollars each year,
is predicted to last for at least an
other decade. Two factors put forth
by agricultural experts as the reasons
for this acute shortage. One is the in
creased agricultural demand not only
in this country, but throughout the
world. Production facilities are not
being built fast enough to keep up
with the demand, and in the case of
Germany, which produced a good
share of the pre-war supply, fac
tories were completely destroyed.
The other, is the increased indus
trial demand for nitrogen. 1t is be-
ing used now to a large extent in
the manufacture of plastics and
many modern synthetics, which has
resulted in the large demand.
The proposed Mississippi nitro
gen plant cannot possibly produce
enough nitrogen to completely fill
the needs in the state, but its produc-
ton will 60 a long way toward meet
ing the farmers needs and reducing
the loss in income which the present
shortage is causing"
Farmers who invest now will be
assured supply of nitrogen when
the plant is in operation. $500 worth
of stock will entitle you to / ton of
81 per cent ammonia nitrate and
$4,000 in stock will entitle you to !
ton of anhydrous ammonia. Your
banker will fill out your applica-
ton.

Smashing all production records.
Mississippi's ,060 oil wells last
month spouted crude at an unex-
pected pace, and with the price
higher than at any time since the
first Mississippi discovery, the oil
severance tax set new marks. The
oil severance tax. which until lit

zoomed in January to brina in
$4S6,49S-nearly half a million
dollars. II was not only the big
gest month in history but more
than 100000 above the next best
month. Since MissisSjppi's sever

of the oils value at the well tthe
tax is six per cent of well-side
price, it is the best indicator of
production trends; but this month
two reports on the tax and its OPP

asked, among other things, for a
full-time Gas and Oil Board,
equipped with competent person
mel to carry out new oil and gas
conservation act, bill embodying
h e governors recommendation
was introduced in both houses; by
Senator Lawrence Adams of Nat
chez ana Jointly by Representa-
tives Gerald Adams OF Kemper
county and Waiter Bridgeforth of
Yazoo City. Their bill, which
would prohibit pro-ration of pro-
duction based on market demand,
would set up a full-time board and
allow it ample workers and equip
ment: and would put in the form
of law field rules and other con-
servation rules. AT present. under
the ancient (1932) conservation
law of the state, rules can be
changed from month to month by

which the trio of young legislators
drafted would make certain basic
