The Pasture Book was written

MULTIPLE PERSONALITY -
A current trend of U. S. industry
to swing into diversified realms
of activity is regarded by pro-
~gressive business leaders as high
ly beneficial to both the country
and to industry.
BY putting its eggs in several
baskets, a company not only bene-
fits from a broader base Of opera
tons, but also adds to the general
economy through increased en-
ployment.
A prime example of this "mul-
tiple personality" is that of
Schenley Industries, Inc, a firm
usually associated with produc-
ton of distilled beverages only.
This company also turns out large
quantities of feed by-products for
livestock, and is one of the ma
TONS largest producers of penicil-
lin.
Its application of production
know-how to penicillin output
has resulted in a series of % price
reductions of the drug since l945.
The once more-valuable -than-gold
substance now costs users less
than one-eighth what it did in
1915. Schenley soon will begin
l~arge-scale production of strepto-
mycin, the drug used for treat
ment of tuberculosis, certain url-
nary infections and some types of
meningitis and influenza.
In thus broadening its field OF
service the company has added
thousands of employees to its
payrolls, brought increased pros
perity to its plant communities
and has made major contributions
to the relief of suffering through
out the world.

Foreword

We believe you will find The
Pasture Book the most complete
the most practical, the most us
able and helpful publication or
pastures ever written for South
ern farmers. 1t is the result OF
ten years of study and work with
farmers on every soil type IN
every section of the South.
Before writing The Pasture
Book, Mr.. Thompson, the au-
thor, spent eight years in field
work in Mississippi and two years
at the land-grant colleges and uni
versities in IL Southern states
studying research work in pas
lures. He discussed pastures with
the men in the South who know
most about plants, soils, fertilizers,
machinery, weed control, manage
ment and other pasture problems.
The Pasture Book gives speci-
fic information on so pasture sub
iects and gives a wealth of in
formation nevNr made available
to farmers before. It contains pic

Dear Miss Brannon:
l worked in Holmes county from
1898 TO I945 and still call it my
official home. I always read with
interest your comments about
what goes on and some of the
things which the county has and
doesn't want.
i know you will be interested in
some of the things Holmes county
and its people give to those who
have lived and worked with you.
Every time any professional adj
vancement comes to me, its origin
can be traced back to something
someone in Holmes county taught
me.
7 dare say, though. Holmes coun-
ty or its people, farmers or pro-
fessional men miss any of the
things they gave me. Seems like
the encouragement, training and
boost given by the kind of peo-
pie who live in Holmes county
doesn't make them any poorer,
but certainly adds to the other fell
lows well being and advancement
I have referred to Holmes county
and its generosity toward training
other people and you would be
surprised how far and wide the
record of the county has spread.

The Lexington Advertiser:
Would you please print a notice
in your paper asking the people
in the town of West to discon-
tinue the dumping of garbage on
the Kosciusko, West highway near
the Big Black bridge in Attala

Signed: COMMITTEE
I am sending two news articles

might stop.

tWined with smilax and chrysan-
themums and ornamented with
bows Of white satin ribbond. The
prie-dieu upon which they knelt
was covered with white satin.
Tall baskets of white gladioli and
wrought iron candelabra against
an arrangement of greenery
formed an effective background
for the bridal party as the pastor
of the church, the Rev. Harlan
Hilbun, performed a double ring
ceremony.
In a program of pre-nuptial
music, Miss Janet Scheffler and
Rex Cosby sang to the accom-
paniment of Miss Frances War
den, who also played the we'd
ding marches.

eled with tightly fitting, tucked
bodice with leg o mutton sleeves.
Her full skirt was caught up with
miniature bouquets of white
sweetheart rosebuds. A halo of
the same roses and maline held
her finger-tip veil of illusion
against her fair hair. Her white
satin Bible was topped with a
lcorsage arrangement of white
roses centered with a white or
child and showered with narrow
satin ribbons ending in love
knots holding tiny rosebuds.
Pastel Gowns
The maid of honor and the
bridesmaids wore pastel replicas
of the brides gown. Miss Sujo
Bardwell, sister of the groom and
maid of honor, wore light blue

buds and carried a colonial bou-
quet of pink pompon asters. The
