woven-wire is now stretched and
fastened securely to each of the big
end posts at the ends of a 40-rod
line of fencing. Next, staple it 10
all line posts but do not drive staples
down hard. Leave a little space
between staple and fencing so there
can be contraction and expansion
with heat and cold.

standard-weight, APPOINT, galvanized
barbed-wire above the woven-wire.
The first barbed-wire should be
inches above the woven-wire. At
this close distance stock cannot push
heads under it and ride down the
woven-wire. If the woven-wire is

Crossing GullYs

over the top of gully. Fence the gully
separately. You cannot pull woven
wire down a cut bank and it is hard
to hold posts down even when the
fences goes down gently-sloping
banks into deep depression.
To hold posts down against the up
ward pun of the woven wire re-
quires guy wires and heavy dead
men deep in ground A level fence
stays tight better than any other.
When posts in deep depression are
lifted, the wire loses its tightness.
IL. II you encounter a shallow
creek in your fencerow, end the
fence on the banks with the usual
assembly of end posts and braces,
or let fence go over top of creek
above water line. Build floodgate
across your creek. The gate will rise
and fall with the rise and fall of
the water.
Is. If your fence has to follow
curved road or the banks of river
or creek, you will have to use heavy
prop posts against the line posts of
the fence. Prop posts will be on
inside of curve of course, and set
against rocks or concrete. They must
not yield any with the passage of
time. They must hold the line posts
in vertical position. Leaning posts
slacken tight wires.
With very little care, your tight
woven-wire fence will last the great
er part if not all of lifetime. It
will add greatly to the value of your
farm should you ever want to sell
out and it will save you time in
that it needs very little repairing
and that it keeps your livestock in
your own pasture or field and your
neighbors' livestock OUT of your
pasture or field.
I myself own all my own boundary
fences, asked none of my good
neighbors to help me build them or
| pay fer them, and do not ask them
how I want them or when I want
them. My fences ought to create
goodwill for they make it impossible
to hatch up an argument over a line
fence or its upkeep.

Home Builders Head
Urges Relaxation Of
Regulation X

Alvin l.. Aubinoe, president of
the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Washington, today
called on the Government to relax
Regulation x" in the Washington
area.
The builder said such action
would "re-establish the confidence
|of lenders in the mortgage mar
ket."
Mr.. Aubinoe assailed construc-
ttion of public housing and said
home builders were ready and
willing" to do everything possible
to house war workers.
Meanwhile, the National Asso-
citation of Home Builders distrib-
uted to newspapers a statement
in which it contended it can prove
beyond shadow of a doubt that
under present conditions the
United States can have both guns
and homes. too"
The proof will be soon forth
coming, it said, in "a complete
study entitled Housing and the
War Emergency prepared by the
trade association"

Screens Can Be Helpful as Partial Partitions
BY Gladys Miller

Various functiors OF a room
may be set off by screens. These
may be the sectional type with
panels of a width that is scaled
to size of the room and the height
of the screen.
In choosing one for your room
there are several factors which
should be considered. Where are
you to use it? Between an en-
trance hall and living room, liv-
ing room and dining area, a
bedroom and the dressing area?
Standard screens are between
5 and 7 feet high. Lately decora-
tors have realized they were not
tall enough. The composition of
rooms required either a shorter or
taller screen. Door height or CELL
Ing height are influence factors.
Shields for Draft.
Small, short screens about the
height Of seated person were
good If they were to be used to
shield any one from drafts.
Many antique French screens
come this size, as the old palaces
were drafty places.
The screens of today may be
covered with wallpaper, fabric,
leather or canvas and be painted
by hand. They may be used in
modern or period interiors or in
rooms in which the furniture
styles are mixed. The style of the
screens may be a connecting link
blending the two styles.
In series of rooms recently ex-I
hibited, beautiful ceiling height
screen formed a slight separation
between the dining area and the
living room. 1t was papered in
sepia and blue with a design de-
picting formal empire garden

Sharp Accents of White.
The living-room color plan in
cluded tones of brown and blue,
with sharp accents of white.
In this grouping the dining
table extends to seat eight. Six of
the chairs have upholstered seats
and two have upholstered seats
and backs. These two are part of
the living room grouping and are
used for dining only when needed

Dry Weather Ruins
Pastures, Sets
Cotton Season Up
Corn Crop Reduced
BY Long Drouth,
County Agent Tells

Dry weather has hurt old corn
considerably, has dried pastures
completely, but has fastened the
cotton picking season by several
weeks, according to County Agent
w. r. Sullivan who estimated SO
bales to have been picked and
ginned. Despite the dry weather,
Holmes county should make eight
10000 more bales than last year
due to more acreage and better
poisoning results.
The drouth knocked off" about
livan opined, adding that the corn
yield will be reduced this year.
The late corn yield will be slim.
Holmes county should gather
from the field 45-50,000 cotton
bales, against a total of $4,000
last year, with about $4,000 more
acres in cotton cultivation.
The dry weather has reduced
yield of cotton o%ne-fourth bale
per acre in the hill area and pos
sibly o in the Delta, Mr.. Sui
Ivan informed, adding that it has
reduced the amount of hay that
normally would have been made,
causing a number of farmers to
be forced to sell some of their
livestock which they wanted to
keep.

Crop Tour Made
By 5 Farmers
Make Study Of
Fertilization,
Widening Of Rows

A crop tour covering east and
southeastern Holmes county was
made Thursday by 35 white farm
ers of Holmes county, with pur-
pose to study fertilization, poison
ms, and spacing of cotton. Leav-
ing from the Court House square
at 100 pm, the group visited
farms owned by Nick Archie, col
ored, w. r. Sullivan, Ernest Har-
rison, Ras M. Branch, Richland,
and Hoover Maxwell, Pickens.
Sponsored by the county agents
office, the tour featured demon
strational talks by Agent Sullivan
at each of the farms. 1t was
pointed out at the Archie place
different fertilizing applications,
which are limiting factors on good
cotton production.
Wider Rows
On the Sullivan farm, produc-
ton of cotton on the 46-inch
width rows using higher fertili-
zation, was studied. 1t was not
ed that the farther spacing of
rows gave better opportunity for
the farmer doing a good poison
ing job. 1t also gave room for
the cotton to spread out and put
on more fruit than the closer
rows and thicker spacing.
On the Branch place, Mr., Sulli-
van informed, a study was made
