Fly Control
Methods Told
BY M. p. Lewis
County Agentl

Flies may be controlled around
farms and dairy barns in jackson
county by use of insecticides now
available on the market. The in
secticides you can use for fly
control are DOT and Methox-
ychlor tmarlate) which are now
giving satisfactory control.
In controlling flies in dairy
barns and spraying cattle, it is
recommended that you use one
pound of 500 marlate to three
gallons of water and spray sides,
back. and neck in order to control
the flies on your dairy cattle.
Don't Use On Dairy Cows
Please do not use DDT in con-
troll of flies on dairy cattle be-
cause traces of DDT have been
found in the milk. For control of
flies on beef cattle, you may use
one pound of 500 DDT Wetable
powder to three gallons of water.
This gives excellent control on
flies.
When spraying barns, I suggest
you spray door facing, walls, and
other places where flies accumu-
late.
For more information on con-
troll of flies. | suggest that you
contact the county agent or other
agricultural workers.

/. By Irene King

Last week we promised to in
troduce you to Bonnie Rose, IS,
and Paul Shows, 13. We aren't
sure whether we can get them out
of the fields long enough to have
a very formal introduction but if
we can yell loud enough to be
heard in whatever corner of the
70 acres they are, they'll give you
a friendly wave.
And we'll wager you won't be
a bit more surprised TO meet these
two than would be dozens of
wholesalers who handle the corn.
cotton. watermelons and peas that
they raise.
Twenty acres is a lot of land
but Bonnie Rose and Paul seem
to have whipped it right down
to their size. Row on row of three
foot corn stands absolutely un-
sullied by the presence of single
blade of grass.
The cotton section is thriving
and even as we looked, Bonnie
Sue in blue jeans, a tail-out shirt
and big straw hat was walking
slowly among the young plants
-doubtlessly inspecting them for
the first unhealthy sign.
Paul was off behind the trees
bending his l3-year old back
behind the plow pulled by one of
the two horses which make the
cultivation of so much land pos
sible.
They'd rather work in the
fields than anything" Mrs. Shows
said, shading her eyes with her
hand and looking lovingly over
the beautiful fields toward the
two small figures. "They made
part of a crop last year-all that
was possible in the time left after
we moved here-but this year
they'll really do something"
Buyers have already contacted
them to get watermelons next

I'VE had family conference, -
she said, land every one of them
wanted to live on farm"
There's Bonnie Rose, Paul,
Mary Lucille, 10, Benny, 8, and
Stanley, 6.
Mary Lucille loves the outside
and playing strenuous games but
she really doesn't think she'll be
tiller of the soil and of course
Stanley is too young but Benny
is showing signs of making a trio
of the farming duo. He can al
ready plow a little.
Bonnie Rose and Paul divide
their work so that each can do
what he or she likes and can do
best. Bonnie Rose is in charge of
the hoe and Paul is master of the
plow. And together they're just
about an unbeatable team.

It's a shame what's happen

~ q sudtH6 Wndt , ndPpen-
ing to the Old Spanish Fort.
The oldest building in the
entire Mississippi valley is suf-
fering a shameful fate of neg
lect while various civic organi-
cations and the city of Pasea-
goula toss responsibility for its
upkeep back and forth, in what
has all the appearances of a
game of pitch and-catch.
The old fort. which was built
by the DeLapointe and Krebs
families in l72l. has been used
as private home. slave quar-
ters. fort. and finally as meet
ing place for the American Le-
gion. Al present. we're sorry TO
say. il is being used ms a privy.
Weeds choke the property on
which the historic building is
constructed. and the building
itself has been broken into and
is being used by persons who
swim at Krebs Lake not only
as a bathhouse but as a toilet.
Such is the sad fate of the
Old Fort. While the City and
organizations throughout the
county pay lip service to what
they call "that fine old historic
structures maintenance and up
keep" they are letting what's
left of the fort go to pot, to de-
teriorate. and to be subjected to
gross neglect and misuse.
lis rather difficult TO put
the finger of blame for this on
any one person or group. Re
spcnsibilitY for the fort has been
shunted about from one organ
ixation TO another so many
times. and in so many ways.
that it's no wonder no one per-
son or organization is doing
anything TO preserve il.
When the fort and adjoining
property were sold by the Fords
TO the county in 1899, a provi-
sion of the transaction inserted
by the Fords as an assurance
that the fort would not be mis-
used, wisely stipulated that no
major changes in appearance or
construction could be made BY
subsequent holders of the prop
erty.
No changes were made. In
fact, the county let things lie
until 1947, when it leased the
Fort to the American Legion.
The Legion used it for a couple
of years. as a meeting place,
then last year turned it over to
the city of Pascagoula on a 25-
year lease.
The city has done nothing for
the fort, but by neglecting its
upkeep and improvement, has
perhaps done something to it.
At any rate, the fort stands
alone and neglected, and is in a
very sorry state
Something should be done
about ii. and it should be done
