Crops Compare
FavorabIy With Other
Areas OF Mississippi
County Agent Reports
High Production Costs
Will Diminish Profits

AS a whole, the crop situation
an Holmes county 'looks very
BAD" but compared to other
areas, it is average, or above
average, according to w. R. Sui
llvan, county agent. The Lower
Delta crop appears about the
same" as Holmes, while CROPS in
the Upper Delta are far behind
those in this county, Mr.. Sullivan
said.
An approximate rs per cent OF
the cotton crop produced last year
is predicted by the county agent
Tor this years harvest in the Del
ia section. Coupled with the
dark picture is the estimated so
per cent increase in cost of pro-
duction to this years planters. In
the hill area, not more than 80
per cent Of last years cotton har-
vest is expected, and cost of pro-
duction will reach 70 per cent
increase over that of last year,
the county agent said.
Crops In Fair Shape
However, except for boil wee
wills. the cotton crop is in good
shape. The corn crop is fair, ex-
cept late corn which, replanted,
is suffering an onslaught Of bud
worms.
Only salvation for the cotton
farmer in the hill area is more
diversified farm program, Agent
Sullivan points out. This diversi-
! fication should also be true of
the Delta, though the Delta can
come near making a go of cot
ton than the hill section, the
county agent said.
Corn WeevIIs Severe
Corn weevils are severe in old
corn in the field. County Agent
Sullivan advises feeding the corn
Immediately, or treating it inn
mediately after harvesting to pre-
vent further weevil damage. For
information about treating, or for
working out diversified farming
program, farmers are invited to-
contact the county agent or other
agriculture workers of the coun-
ty.
Now is the time to prepare for
winter grazing. This program viii
pay bigger dividends when graz
ing out 100000 pound calves
lstartins in November or early De-
cember, selling the calves on the
market in early March, Very hs7
tie profit can be made on winter
grazing with young calves at the
side. Results from the grazing
program all over the State in
dictate that grazing 100000 pound
calves will net from S30-S5O an
acre on good grazing. Winter
grazing should be planted in early
September, Mr.. Sullivan advises
Prepare Land Well
Land should be prepared well,
applying 10000 pounds per acre
of ammonia nitrate, or so pounds
per acre of pure liquid nitrogen,
and seeding with four bushels of
a red rustproof oat The county
agent advises drilling the oats;
both ways in order to have a firm
grazing bed. 1t is useless, he said,
to plant oats for grazing unless the
recommendations for fertiIizing
are carried out. This applies to
the Delta and Hill area as well
Lime at IL tons per acre and 20
per cent phosphate at the rate of
500 pounds per acre, will give ex-
cellent results where using the
nitrogen.

although the old story of not
enough weight is heard here too.
Anyway, there's little to choose
among Bill Poms, Louis McCar-
thy, Jack O'Neill, Tony Scoppe-
tuolo and Cliff Sisler. Scoppetuolo
at 210 helps boost the weight
average, but several 175-pounders
pull it down.
Ends are . good numerically,
with a reasonable amount of
speed and pass-catching ability
among Francis Marty, Russ John

Tony Pelerossi, although except
for the 6-foot-2 johnson all are
shorter than ends are desired.
The tackles aren't as numerous.
There's a boy named Gene Peters,
stockily built and weighing 22O
pounds. but the others such as
Gene Higgins, George Elliott, and
Lee Renaud don't have the heft
usually found at tackle. Renaud

Howard Eleven Face!
Tough Foe Saturday
Al West Va. State

Howard University's football
team faces q tough test Saturday
when it visits West Virginia State
College, defending Colored Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association
champion.
The match, will be the second
Of the season for both teams. The
Yellowjackets turned back Vir-
ginia Union, 1876, last week end
while Howard's Bisons downed
Bluefleld, 27-0.
Eddie Jackson, Howard head
coach, and a 38-man Howard
squad left today for Institute,
w. Va. Co-captain Otto Jordan,
star offensive guard, is making
the trip, but may be unable to
play as he suffered a neck injury
early in the week. Jim Bourne,
220-pound offensive tackle and
defensive guard, is bedridden with
an ailing leg.
The Bisons are rated g-5 under
dogs. In 16 games with West Vir-
ginia State. Howard has won only
four, and tied five. It was defeated,
21-6, last season and last regis
tered a win over the Yellow
jackets in 1882.
Coach Jackson hopes to balance
his ground and aerial offensives
Saturday with Hal Davidson,
Slick Abrams, Virg Anderson and
Bob Minton pacing the running
attack and Chuck Ross, Hillary
Thompson. Andy Carr and Charley
Gaines the aerial circus.
The game is a major one on the
1949 CIAA calendar. Howard and
West Virginia are seeded top
teams of the conference.

Catholic University might not
win as many. football games as
it loses this fall but the Cardinals
are going to have a lot of fun,
and a lot of satisfaction, too, just
playing football.
It's that kind of team. They'd
like to win Of course, but no heads
will roll if they don't. No scholar
ships will be in jeopardy because
there aren't any scholarships. If
a boy wants to play football he
shows up and tries for the team,
and If he doesn't want to play
he just doesn't. That last has
bothered Coach Jan Jankowski a
little bit because he's collared one
or two nice prospects around
school and suggested they give the
pigskin game a try. But for one
reason or another, usually a hefty
study schedule, they couldn't
make it.
So he has issued uniforms to
those who came out and put to-
gether q very acceptable eleven.
The Cardinals were slow to get
going because Jan knew little of
the ability, or lack of 1t. of most
of his players. But in recent
scrimmages they've shown a sur
prising amount of zip and polish
and appear ready to spread at
least little bit of trouble around
the Mason Dixon Conference.
Jankowski, a star halfback in
c.. us football heyday Of the
early 1930s, is taking his first
crack collegiate coaching, but he
already is well established as a
grid strategist. He coached Gen.
trail High for the last II years,
turning out three city champion
ship teams.

Boxwood Trees
Add To Scenery

"Dou you have an evergreen
boxwood?" ?"
Victor H. Ries, extension spe-
cialist in Horticulture at Ohio State
University, is asking this ques-
tion throughout the state, as he
looks for hardy strains of the box
wood for general paintings in
Ohio.
Although they are fairly COM
mon along the Ohio River, old
established plants will be found
growing in almost every county
of the state, even in northern
Ohio" he explains.
His problem, however,. is to
find these plants and then deter
mine which ones are the most
hardy and satisfactory.
Cooperating with him in his
search is the Ohio Association
of Garden Clubs, which organiZa-
tion hopes eventually that a col
lection of hardy evergreen box
woods can be established.
Ries suggests that anyone hav-
ing hardy evergreen boXwoods and
wishing to cooperate, to send
about 10 cuttings, each about G
inches long, from the tips of the
branches to Mrs. Harold Shoupp
Pleasant Hill.
Cuttings may be made anytime
between now and next spring
Ries suggests wrapping them ir
wax paper with a little moist
newspaper or cloth around the
lower end to keep the cuttings
from drying out.
If you know where the origin.
al plant came from, or the name
and address Of the owner, that
information will be valuable, too
he adds.

Lights Aid Winter
Egg Production

Recent research throws some
new light on whether it pays to
use artificial light in the laying
house, says M. C. Sweet, extension
specialist in poultry at Ohio State
University.
Poultry men now agree that use
of light changes the season in
which hens will lay the most eggs
rather than increasing the total
number of eggs laid during the
year. This means that if lights
are used in November, December
and January, more eggs will be
produced during those months,
with fewer being laid during the
late spring months, he explains,
Since eggs usually are higher
price during the winter, the in
creased production makes use of
the lights profitable.
Sweet recommends turning the
lights on about a. m., during the
winter. This will provide the
birds with 13 or ID hours of arti-
fetal and natural light each day,
which, he says, should be sufficient
to keep winter egg production up
Although some producers pre-
fer an all-night light, the special
list points out that hens will de-
velop a tendency to roose almost
any place in the building, and tc
lay at almost any time of the
day.
Successful use of lights de-
in the laying house. Be sure the
pend, too, on how they are placed
lights shine on the roosts as well
as on the feed hoppers and wat
erers,' Sweet says. zone light
with a wide reflector for each 20C
square feet of floor space should
provide enough light"
He adds that the old theory
that lights boosted production by
giving the hens a longer day in
which to eat is not true. Lights
stimulate the pituitary gland
which in turn, steps up the re-
productive process and the her
produces more eggs. Because she
lays more eggs, she eats more
feed.
