MOLASSES MADE
FROM HARDWOOD

Making molasses from hardwoods
and airplane spraying of forest in
sects are among topics discussed in
the 9th annual report of the South
ern Forest Experiment station re-
leased by Director Charles A. Con-
naughton. The station is an agency
of the federal agriculture depart
ment
An outstanding change in the sta
TONS 1947 program was the revival
of flood control work which was
discontinued during the war. Sche-
duled among its unfinished activi-
ties is survey of the Upper White
river in Arkansas and Missouri. The
omochitto-Buffalo river water
\ shed in Southwest Mississippi also
will be surveyed.
Making cattle feed out of discard
ed trees and waste wood also has
been experimental with successful
ly by the station. In the process
there evolved a 1ow-cost molasses
which provides wholesome cattle
food
In describing the stations attack
on the pine sawfly, the report states
that spraying method was per-
fected which will control epidemics
at cost of 81 per acre.
Timber can and should be as
much an annual crop as corn or
potatoes or cotton" the report said
in a reference to the stations farm
forestry unit at Crossett, Ark. AN
nual cuts since 1887 have netted
sawlogs, pulpwood and other pro-
ducts valued at $4,000 at the mill, or
S1750 on the stump

Spring Cleanup

Have you done your spring clean
ing on your farm? 1t will make
your farm better and safer place
to live.
By taking time to clean up the
premises and put things in order,
you pave the way for better living
through more healthful conditions.
You will be helping to conserve food
and other resources by eliminating
fire hazards and rat hotels And
you will be avoiding accidents by
taking care of necessary repairs.
Each year the u. S. Department
of Agriculture and National Fire
Protection Association encourage a
spring cleanup campaign on farms
and in communities.
This special time focuses atten-
ton on any winters accumulation
of debris and trash. Every nook and
Granny from basement to attic. from
kitchen TO field should be examined.
Farm families alone lose about g.
500 lives and 100 million dollars
worth of farm property annually by
fires. This means about 10 farm
people die every day because of
farm fires. Four farm buildings are
destroyed by fire every hour. About
80 percent Of our farm fires are
caused by carelessness, and careless
ness involves debris and trash.
One rat will eat or damage $40
worth of food, feed and property
per year which means the nation
pays $212 billion annually to keep
its rats. Also rats are carriers of
bubonic plague, typhus, and other
deadly diseases. Rats may cause
short circuits by gnawing insulation
from electric cords.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1948-04-24

You may think you have a soap
that does everything, but if you
want to keep your fire record clean
it is better to depend on common
sense. Give serious thought to your
fires and never allow them to
spread to others property. You may
receive. bill from the judge for
damages. Keep Mississippi's Forest
Green and your record clean.

Buy Bonds

The U. S. Treasury Department
is putting on spring Security Loan
and Bond Purchase campaign, be-
ginning April Is and running thru
June.
There are two major reasons for
the Security Loan Drive at this
time. One is to siphon off excess
income above necessary operating
and living expenses, which is a con-
slant threat to further initiation. The
other is to strengthen individual
and national security for the future.

PULLING PLANTS Plants
should be pulled from beds when
they are 6 to 9 inches tall and have
a good root system. Pull all plants
from beds as soon as they reach
this size to keep young plants
growing fast. Plants can be ''heeled
out" in moist sand or sawdust and
kept until they can be set in the
field. A light application of fertili-
ger, as 2 pounds nitrate Of soda
to 500 square feet, made after each
pulling will increase production of
plants.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1948-04-24

PLANT SPACING. For highest
yields of best marketable size sweet
potatoes, set plants about IL inches
apart on beds 312 feet wide. Set
either slips or vine cuttings at least
4 inches deep and pack soil around
plants.

Get SPRAYS and Dusts Early

You will be wise to get spray and
dust materials for use on fruits dur
ing the spring and summer well in
advance of the time to use them in
controlling insects and diseases.
A complete dust mixture for
peaches and plums as we'll as spray
materials can be obtained from To-
cal dealers.
Get copy of Extension Circular
ia, The Mississippi Spray Cal
endar,' from your county agent and
follow recommendation accurately.
Thorough application of the recon-
mended materials at the proper tim
es is the secret of good control of
insects and diseases.
NEW VARIETY. The new variety
of sweetpotato, Australian Gamer,
which was recently released by the
| Mississippi Experiment Station and
| the U.S.D.A., is recommended pri-
marily for commercial canning. 1t
is not recommended for commercial
production of table stock sweet
potatoes as it is a different type
to the Unit One Porto Rico, the
preferred fresh market variety.
194S Farm Plan Suggestions
Watch production costs so you
can absorb a possible drop in price
without loss. Use fertilizer and
lime literally. Grow the combina-
ton of crops and livestock that is
most likely to give the largest net
profit.
The use of small tractors that are
now en- the market should be in
veStigated by farmers now using
horses and mules. However, if you
buy a tractor, don't make the ex-
pensive mistake of keeping all of
your workstock and a tractor.
Factors Affecting
Farm Earnings
Your farm income is affected by
uncomfortable factors as the wealth
er, certain pests and diseases, dis
asters and economic forces leading
to changes in demand and prices
of farm products.
The factors over which you have
control include size of farm bust
ness, crop yields per acre; produc-
ton per head of livestock; timeli-
ness of production; efficiency in
: use of labor: and efficiency in use
j of investment.
Study the comfortable factors and
make any adjustments needed in
your operations to increase cash
income.
Price Decline
From January Is to February IS.
the parity ratio dropped 10 percent
from 122 to 112 The parity ratio is
the percentage relationship between
prices paid by farmers and prices
received by farmers.
When the items a farmer has to
buy increase in price and the pro-
duce he sells decreases in price, the
parity ratio is reduced The present
112 ratio is the lowest since Novem-
Der, 1912
The drastic drop in prices receiv-
ed by farmers during the 30-day
period was the sharpest break since
1921. This situation of falling prices
should not be looked on with alarm
since the measure of business activ-
ity does not indicate that this de-
cline will turn into a recession.

wonderful, and I was sure I had
something in those cartoons. I kept
1t up, only to learn later that while
the cartoons were helping, what
every one was going crazy about
was John Wayne"
According to Mr.. Whitlock, Wayne
is the biggest thing in the affections
of Elizabeth City, which, unlike such
places as this. does not seem to get
unduly excited about feminine stars.
Whether it means that the 25,000
people in his theater's territory
accept still the natural order of
male dominance, he is not prepared
to say.
What he is prepared to say is that
Wayne pictures turn a whale Of q
profit, and he agrees with his audi
ences that that Is wonderful.
Sophisticated comedies which
please the big urban centers leave
Elizabeth City cold, Mr.. Whitlock
has discovered.
Take Emperor Waltz" he says.
II was thinking of that in terms of
what it would be like in Washington.
Well. it was nothing like that In
Elizabeth City. People coming out
of the theater wanted to know what
was so funny about courtship be-
tween a couple Of dogs"
Next to John Wayne, Mr.. Whit
locks new customers like domestic
comedy. He thinks this is because
they are able to identify themselves
with such people in similar situa-
tions.
They eat up a film like Date
With judy" he says. "As a matter
Of fact, 1t made more money in four
days than Emperor Waltz did in
seven. It also made a lot more
money than "A Song Is Born and
number Of other things-but say,
come to think Of 1t, Judy was ter
rife here, wasn't it? Maybe au-
diences are more alike than q ilot
Of us think"
Mr.. Whitlock. whose theater is
called Loves State, but not after
Loew's State, found that one Of the
most startling aspects Of his new job
originally was the rapidity with
which programs change. Here. no
picture lasted less than q week.
There. the best never lasts that long,
and sometimes there are three or
four changes in seven days.
1t calls for quick and accurate
guessing, he has learned. He also
has learned that 1t is easier to be
quick than accurate.

the difference in film tastes between
the jaded, big city likes of us (Which,
means you) and the gentle people

Mr.. Whitlock, who likes to think
of himself as an adaptable sort, as
who does not, admits there is quite
a difference in his old job and his
new one.
In his years as one of us. he dis
covered there were audiences for al
