Boston Firm Orders
Coal From England

Here is bit of news that
should be of interest to the coal
miners of the country and to
everyone else.
In l947, we shipped over 675,-
600 tons of coal to England. But
things seem to have changed re-
markably. A press dispatch says
that a Boston coal company is
awaiting the first shipment of
British coal in some years. The
president of the company said
that it was ordered from WEIGH
mines, ito bolster reserves depict
ed by work stoppages in Ameri-
can coal mines"
The losses to the miners are
huge - l949 shutdowns are es-
timated to have cost each miner
something like $1,000. And fu-
ture losses are incalculable. If
coal is unobtainable, or if the
source of supply is uncertain, or
If the price is too high, users,
particularly the big commercial
ones, will turn to other fuels with
which coal must compete. So
jobs are lost and Goals rightfui
place in our economy is under
mined.

Applications May Now
Be Filed For Cotton
Acreage Allotment

7. M. Patterson, state executive
officer Of the Production and
Marketing Administration told
today OF provisions whereby farm
ers who have not been given a
cotton allotment may file their
applications before February Is,
1850.
Due to laws enacted by Con-
gress farmers who did not plant
cotton on their farms in 1916,
l947, and l948, or who were not
considered as having planted
cotton by virtue of planting war
crops on their farm in those years,
were not given an allotment at
the time old form growers were"
Mr.. r. 'erson said. However,
many farmers did plant cotton in
l949 or have secured labor and
want TO plant cotton in 1850. BY
contracting the local county PIMA
Committees these farmers will be
considered for an allotment"
Mr.. Patterson stated that at the
time Mississippi was given their
share of the national allotment
the state committee and the
county committees held out a
small reserve to take care of these
new growers; however, these re-
serves are far from adequate and
will be no. incentive for farmers
to go into the cotton business.
There is no certainty that
everyone filing an APPLICATION for
new grower allotment will be
given one but county committees
will weigh the facts regarding
equipment and labor available
and the suitability of the land to
grow cotton and as far as reserves
will go they will try to take care
of the most deserving cases." Mr..
Patterson said.
Holmes county farms falling
into the above group should file
application in the PIMA office in
Lexington.
February Is, 1850, is the final
date

Conservation Notes
by A. p. Carroll

During the past few weeks the
farmers of the county have been
asking the question, what shall
10 with the land | am to take out
Of cotton.
The farmer should consider
three things. LIST, plant crcpsthat
will improve the land; 2nd. plant
crops that will give cash in
come; 3rd, plant crops that can
be used for more than one thing.
In the hill sectin lespedezs and
grasses will potect and Irnpove
the soil. as well as being a pactical
cop to plant.
Seed may be harvested from the
lespedeza and grasses for a cash
income. Also it can be used for
grazing or hay which the farm
! err prefers. After these crops have
been run from two to four years
you farmers know the value it
gives the soil. Usually this type
of rotation will cause cotton and
corn yields to double, as well as
making it much cheaper and cas-
Ter to cultivate
1t is problem to find a substi-
tute to plant for cotton IN the
Delta area. However, we work
ing with the Son Conservation
district think the farmers should
give much thought to a long time
program. To get the maximum
income it is necessary to use this
diverted acreage for seed crops
or livestock production. The tw1
work together very nicely. A,
present we have a shortage of al
legume seed Also summer and
winter legumes will improve the
soil.
To grow livestock successfully
it is necessary 10 establish coed
pastures. They can be establish
ed by planting fences and dallis
grass, lidena clover, white clover
or red clover. All of these plants
will furnish an abundance OF
grazing, as well as improve the
soil, when properly managed.
The Department of Agriculture
has estimated that we need at
present seven million (7,000,O00)
more beef cattle Also, it has
been estimated that we will need
100000 more beef cattle by
1860. If these figures are correct
then the beef cattle may be the
best way to use this land.
There is one thing to remember
about the beef COW: it takes very
little away from the soil, it har-
vests the crop, produces meat,
costing the land owner very little
for labor and returns most Of
what it harvests back TO the soil
However. this is not true with
crops that are to be harvested and
sold.
1t is usually best to plant your
permanent pastures in the fall.
Since soybean acreage control will
not be on in 1850, it will be a
good thing to plant soybeans this
year and plant this land to per-
manent pasture this fall as soon as
beans have been harvested.

Do You Won't To Cut
Your Federal Toxes

III your personal or business ex-
penses go up and your income
and efficiency come down this
year at the same rate as that
of the Federal Government, YOU
will be. in the hands of the sheriff
at an early date.
Workers, farmers, and business
men from Maine to California
know this. The answer is in the
Report of the Commission on the
Organization of the Executive
branch of the federal government.
T his twelve-man, bipartisan
Commission was unanimously
created by Congress with the ap-
proval of the President. At the
suggestion of Mr.. Truman, form
er President Hoover was made
its Chairman and Secretary of
State Dean Acheson, Vice Chair
man. The late president Franklin
D. Roosevelt long had advocated
such a reorganization of the
government.
There is a two-fold purpose
behind the effort to reorganize
the Executive Branch of the
Government. One-she eIimina-
ton Of inefficiency caused by
overlapping and duplication; two
this should lead to a reduction
of your taxes. If our Government
can save from three to four bill
lion dollars a year by more eff
ficient methods of conducting our
business, failure to act is stupid
short-sightedness.
Action, however, depends up
on the President and Congress.
The President has already sub
mitted a number of reorganiza-
tionS recommendations. The Con-
gress has adopted several of these
most important having to do with
the housekeeping Of the armed
forces, which save the taxpayer
more than $500 100000 a year.
But these are only first steps.
There will be more ahead if Con-
greSs is made to realize Mr.. and
Mrs. Taxpayer want more tax
saving economies. Congressman
and Senators will vote for Just so
many of the Commissions recon-
mendations os you, their consti-
tuents, demand.
What can you, as an indivi-
dual, do about it? The answer is
to write your Congressman and
Senators. Tell them you want the
