100 BusHEL o r. CLUB:

AVM
We would like for every farm
er in Holmes County to partici-
pate in the 100 bushel corn club
this year. There r seven essen
tial steps that you should follow
If you are going to enter the
Holmes County 100 bushel corn
club. They are as follows:
/. USE ENOUGH FERTILIZ-
Erin the hill or delta foothill
sections apply 800 pounds Of IL
8-8 or 500 pounds of 8-8-8 or 600
pounds of 3d. or 6-8-4 per acre
when preparing seedbed unless
soil test shows it is not needed.
Put all mixed fertilizer as deep
as practical. If mixed fertilizer
is not used apply 80 pounds of
nitrogen per acre under the corn
at planting time. T~hirty-two
pounds Oh nitrogen is equivalent
to 100 pounds OF ammonium nit
rate or 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda.
Side dress with "a to 80 pounds
of nitrogen per acre when corn is
knee high.
In the Delta apply 80 pounds of
nitrogen at planting time. Side
dress with "a to 80 pounds OF nj
tlogen per acre when corn is knee
high.
2. SELECT A RECOMMEND
ED HYBRID-Use a hybrid or
variety that is recommended for
your area. Plant as soon as your
soil warns up.
8. SPACE CORN CORRECT
LY-Space corn in 38 to AZ inch
rows Is to l6 inches on bottom
land and Is to 10 inches on hill
land.
A. GROW CORN ON ADAPT
ED LAND-Corn can be grown
profitably on most soils in Mis-
sissippi if well fertilized and
managed. 1t will not grow well
on poorly drained, sandy or steep
eroded land.
S. PREPARE SEEDED
WELL-P repare the seedbed
thoroughly as soon as possible
and plant as early as practical.
Following a heavy cover crop,
prepare seedebed at least two
weeks before planting.
6. CULTIVATE TO con-
troll WEEDS-Cultivate often
enough to control weeds. Stop all
cultivation when corn is two and
one-half feet high. Rapidly grow
ing, thickly spaced corn will help
control weeds and grass by shad-
ING -
PROTECT FROM RATS AND
WEEVILS-Don't leave corn in
the field until weevils and bad
weather damage it. Weevils begin
their attack on corn out in the
field. Store in ratproof cribs and
treat for weevils.
There are two categories that
you may enter this year. ~ the
one acre contest and 90 the three
acre contest. =
There will be worthwhile coun-
ty prizes on both of these con-
tests. The Holmes County Farm
Bureau is again putting up $500. :
for prize money and we hope to
increase this from business es- i
tablishments in the county. Also,
there are very valuable state
prizes for district and state win
ners Be sure and try one acre or
three acres for this contest. .

But he posed a stickler.
Where are we going to get the
money to carry it out?"
DR.. Patterson advised that
100000 at the most would be
available to give relief for the
unemployed during the year
starting June /. That same
amount was set up in January
and Allegany's share won't last
longer than April, he said.
COMMITTEE members imme-
diately envisioned their returning
later this year for a special ses-
sion to appropriate emergency
welfare funds.
They agreed Mr.. Whitworth' s
bill wouldn't accomplish much if
there was no money to carry it
out. So they decided to hold it
in committee and to introduce
instead a resolution asking for a
study of the jobless welfare stu
alton.

Home Owners Brand
Pending Montgomery
Road Law Fantastic

Montgomery County's proposed
road ordinance was attacked today
as "conf1scatory and fantastic"
The charge was hurled by the
newly organized County Home
Owners Protective Association,
headed by Don E. Gingery, Bethes-
da builder, and a member of the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Mr.. Gingery. who emphasized
he was not representing the plan
ming commission in the fight
against the ordinance, said the
association included property own
ers, veterans, businessmen and
road construction engineers.
He announced the group would
sponsor a mass meeting at pm.
Wednesday in the Silver Spring
Armory. Principal speaker will be
Roger ]. Whiteford. Washington
attorney.
Provisions Listed.
The proposed ordinance would
require sidewalks, curbs, cutters,
trees and street signs in all new
subdivisions.
1t will be given a public hearing
before the County Council at 8
IN. March IL, at the Rockville
Courthouse.
In three-page statement. Mr.
Glngery predicted the ordinance
1T adopted, would bankrupt the
small builder, force prospective
buyers to pay from $500 to s1,5oC
more for their homes and reduce
home construction by at least 5(
percent"
This ordinance" he declared
will truly put the price of low
income housing far beyond the
reach Of the average family, since
builders just can't afford to Absorb
the added expense
Mr.. Gingery claimed the present
road specifications are ADEQUATE
and that the proposed new stand.
ards are unnecessary.
He said the ordinance would
compel a person building his owr
home to pave the street not only
IN front of his own house but TO,
a minimum area of a full block
at his own expense"
Bond Requirement Raped.
He also criticized the provision
requiring builders to post per-
formance bonds covering the total
cost OF their housing projects.
This bond" he explained. will
not be released until at least 80
days after streets in the subdivi-
sion are completed. AS a result,
builders would be crippled finan-
clally because their credit would
be impaired until the bonds are
returned"
Finally, Mr.. Gingery said the
association was "gravely con-
cerned" over the councils "hasty
action" and by its refusal to per-
NIT builders to assist in drafting
the ordinance.

Falls Church Charter
Proposal May Go 10
Legislature Today
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent,

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 23.-A
final draft of the Falls Church
charter today was being prepared
for introduction in the General
Assembly.
Delegate Edwin w. Lynch of
Fairfax said that If he could have
the draft completed in time, it
would be introduced this after
noon.
Printed copies of the bill, how
ever probably will not be available
for two or three days. Mr.. Lynch
said he will ask the House Com
mittee on Counties. Cities and
Towns to set public hearing on
the bill next week.
Annexation Fight Ties Up House.
A number of public hearings
have been held by the Falls
Church City Council on the pro-
posal. Changes in the original
draft have been sent here and
other changes have been sug-
gested by State Senator Andrew
w. Clarke, who also represents
the area, as well as the division
OF statutory research and draft
ing and a member of the House
subcommittee which studies all
charter matters.
Another matter of vital concern
to Falls Church, as we'll as Alex
andria and Fairfax County, kept
the house tied up for over an
hour yesterday. 1t was the BIZ
ennial fight on annexation legisla-
ton which pitted the county
boys" against the ''city boys"
Up for consideration was a bill
by Delegate j. J. Williams, Hen
rico County, which bore commit
tee amendments to prevent the
filing of any new annexation
suits for two years. It would not
have affected pending suits. Be-
fore the House voted so to 38 to
recommit the bill, more than an
hours time was lost in debate
and attempts at further amend
ment.
Falls Church and Alexandria
this week indicated they would
take steps to initiate annexation
suits against Fairfax County. If
the bill had been passed in its or
iginal form, however, such action
would have been impossible.
Delegate William j. Gibson of
Fredericksburg was successful in
amending the bill further so that
suits could be filed when the gov
erning bodies of affected cities
and counties gave their consent.
Mr.. Lynch, WHO represents both
Falls Church and Fairfax, said
Falls Church recently had become
a second-class city $1,000 popu-
lation and had taken on new
duties and responsibilities. Con-
sequently, he added, it needed ad-
ditional room to expand. Falls
Church plans to take in about
7h square miles of highly de-
veloped territory but no schools.
Adjourns After Debate.
On the other hand, Mr.. Lynch
argued, Alexandria proposes to
take about 1112 square miles of
Fairfax territory, largely undevel-
oped. but containing two large
schools.
Alexandria is a city of the first
class (more than 10000 popula-
tom and can take care of itself"
Mr.. Lynch said. Furthermore, it
wants to take two of our larger
schools but not many of our chill
dren." ..t
At the conclusion of debate
during which more than a dozen
speeches were made, the House
adjourned,
