Farm Ownership

A diversified system of farming
is paving the way to land owner
ship for E. G.. Kerr at Fentress.
Seven years ago this Choctaw coun-
ty farmer qualified for a loan thru
the Farm Home Administrator and
purchased 65-acre farm. Prior to
that time he had been a renter and
was convinced that ownership of
good farm would place him in a
much better position to supply his
family's needs and find the content
ment and happiness every American
seeks.
A definite plan was made for the
Kerr farm-one which provided
sufficient cash income to operate
the farming business successfully,
meet scheduled payments on farm
loan, and to take care of the family
budget. The plans also provided for
maintaining and improving the soil
fertility, growing food needed for
the family and feed for the live
stock.
Practical Farm Plan
The practical nature of Kerrs
farm plan is indicated by his sue
cess in developing it. His 1947 farm
record book shows that he has more
than doubled the average farm in
come in the Central Mississippi ter
ritory.
Dairying and cotton were utilized
to make that income. Ten dairy
cows contributed $1,000 and five
acres Of cotton produced two bales
to add around $400. Sales of sur
plus livestock added more than $780,
Kerr likes dairy cotton combina-
ton and feels that unfavorable con-
ditions last year cut his farm in
come almost in half. Both the cows
and the cotton will do better this
year with normal conditions, he be-
heveS. Poultry will be emphasized
more by the Kerrs this year.
Many goals set by Kerr are yet

Joe Blough was. looking at the
world through smudge colored
glasses. The late stint he had
worked at the store the evening
before had left a deep tiredness in
his bones that six hours of sleep
had been insufficient to dispel.
His drive to the store had again
aroused an ancient grievance in
his mind. Sorting peckishly
through the morning mail, he
muttered about the jolting he took
every time he drove across the
railroad tracks in the center OF
the business district.
"Shakes your bones to pieces
even in the new car" he said,
slashing viciously into an envelope
with his letter opener.
To make matters worse his To-
cal paper had thrown headlines at
him while he was having his
morning infusion of coffee at the
restaurant counter. "City OK's
Bonds for Sewer Plan," and "Pro-
pose Bonds for Schools" it had
shouted.
"Too much business, not enough
help, and now more taxes" Joe
mumbled.
Obviously, his mind told him
the town was going crazy. 10000
for new sewer lines, $500, 1000 for
the schools. Why, that added up
to over half a million dollars.
They're goin' crazy" he groan-
ed, wondering dizzily if he was not
bit balmy himself.
Bills outnumbered remittances
in the morning mail, too, he noted
mir. Blough." He looked up to
see his secretary standing tenta.
lively in the doorway, plainly
ready to flee if his mood proved
too grumpy for comfort.

Now that he was forced to think

what was so wrong. Then the
