County Agent Report!
On Farmers Activity
Cotton Planting
About Complete
In Delta Area

Though behind, due to the
heavy rainfall and late spring,
farm activity is progressing rapid
~ in Holmes county, according to
County Agent w. r. Sullivan.
Cotton planting in the Delta area
is about finished except in some
places where water is not yet off,
and is 5000 per cent completed
in the hill area.
A large quantity of corn has
been planted. About 40 farmers
have Joined the Hundred Bushel
Corn club, carrying out his ferti-
1izer recommendations, the coun-
ty agent said. In the hill area,
500 pounds of 5-10-5 with one
sack of ammonia nitrate or two
sacks of nitrate of soda placed
under the corn before planting,
being careful not to plant the seed
direct into the fertilizer, was re-
commended.
Fertilizer Recommendations
When the corn is 3-6 inches
high, side dressing with two sacks
Of ammonia nitrate Or four sacks
Of nitrate Of soda is advised. With
a normal season such fertilization
should yield approximately 100
bushels of corn per acre, as set
against the 1948 average yield OF
20 bushels an acre, Agent Sulli-
van said.
In the Delta area, Mr.. Sulli-
van recommends 400 pounds OF
ammonia nitrate for each acre,
200 to go under the corn before
planting, and 200 for side dressing.
The corr should be worked shall
low and laid by early, he said.
Should Supplement Pastures
During the hot summer months,
dairymen should have supple
mentary grazing, such as Sweet
Sudan grass, which may be plant
ed in May at the rate of $3.50
pounds of seed per acre when
broadcast, and 1920 per acre
when planted in narrow rows, us
ing 500 pounds Of 5-10-5 per acre
for best results. Grazing should
be started when the grass is 20-25
inches tall. Properly controlled,
the milk supply should stay up,
even when permanent pasture
grasses are short and dried up,
Mr.. Sullivan said.
A few farmers in Holmes county
are making good money" rais-
ing strawberries, which are being
sold locally at good prices. A
total of about six acres is being
used.
Urges Spraying Cattle
The county agent urges the
spraying of cattle for horn flies,
advising the use of two pounds
DOT for each Is gallons of water
for beef cattle; and the use of
marlate, for dairy cattle. Some
injury has been noted to persons
drinking milk from DDT-spray-
ed mich cows, resulting in an or
der from the U. S. Drug and Food
commission against the use OF
DOT on the cows. The same job,
and no i'll effects, is done with
marlate, he said.
All farmers in the county are
also being urged to ave all the
vetch, wild winter peas, crimson
clover seed possible, due to an
expected scarcity in the fall.
Closing date Of the Hundred
Bushel Corn club contest is June
/. Anyone entering, is asked to
contact the county agent, since
the project must be measured off
by a representative from the coun-
ty agents office.

VA emphasized. will be discarded
and no attempt made to process
them.
All the veteran needs to do is TO
obtain the application, which is a
three-fold card containing all the
instructions necessary to get the
dividend, then fill it out and mail
it to the VA. In event the veteran
does not know the number of his
insurance policy the application
can readily be identified by serY-
ice number, rank and the exact
name used during service with the
armed forces.
1t will be unnecessary for veteran
to write about their insurance
number or about the status of their
dividend application, the VA said.
The VA will mail each veteran
part of the application form to
show that it has been received and
is being processed. Writing will
only delay payment because it will
be necessary to withdraw the ap-
plication from the application line
Mailing checks will start sometime
next January.
With completion of the micro
filming of premium record cards.
the dividend payment project now
enters into the phase of setting up
master files and records so that
the applications may be handled

The entire operation is a mech
anical one, with more than 1900
intricate machines being used in
one of the largest file concentra-
lions of such machines in the
country.
When checks start flowing oui
sometime in January 1850, the

ASKS MARAG0N
BE INDICTED FOR PERJURY

WASHINGTON Sen. acCarthy
(R-Wis) is demanding that John
Maragon, a key figure in the SEN
ate five per-center inquiry be in
dieted for perjury.
Mccarthy made his demand af-
ter Milton R. Poland, Milwaukee
insurance man, swore that he paid
Maragon $1,000 for trying to get
a sugar rationing suspension order
lifted in 1916.
POLAND testified before a Senate
investigating subcommittee He
said he got in touch with Maragon
after meeting him at a party Civ
en- by a Milwaukee brewery for
Maj Gen Harry H. Vaughn, Pres
ident Truman's Army aide.
Maragon is a former Kansas City
bootblack who once had pass to
the White House.
Just before POLAND took the
witness chair, testimony which
Maragon gave under oath when he
appeared before the Senate probers
July %, was read into the record
by Assistant Committee Counsel
Francis d. Flanagan.
Maragon Makes Denial
Maragon flatly denied in the
testimony that he ever was paid
any money by anyone for negotiat-
ing business with the government.
After POLAND, in reply to cross
fire of questions, acknowledged
that he did pay Maragon $1,000,
Mccarthy said:
81 think we should ask the JUS
tice Department to take this mat
ter over and ask that an indict-
ment for perjury be returned "a
gainst Maragon."
A former Agriculture Depart
ment employee testified Maj. Gen.
Vaughn was "a little rough" on
him in an effort to get a molasses
permit for the New Jersey firm in
1916.
