Mr. Altman's illustration of Opt

story of the evening. Here it is:
One night two young frogs, one
optimistic and the other pessimistic,
fell into a pan of cream The pes

strange element, gave up, turned
himself over on his back and breath
ed his last. The optimistic frog be-
gan a vigorous kicking and splutter

Rally Day was held in the Luth-
eran Church here on Sunday, with
Evan Crossley, Judge of the Juvenile
Court, as guest speaker, and the
children of the Primary department
presenting the program.
Mr. Crossley spoke on the juven-
lie problem in the County and
pointed out during his talk that
years ago the blame for so-called
juvenile delinquency was always
blamed on the child, but the public
has finally come to realize that most
of the blame lies with the parents,
Emphasizing that child can do
without almost anything else if he
has real home, the speaker stated
that while many foster homes have
been made available, many more are
badly needed.
The children taking part in the
program were:

Liberty Gardens
The 1851 home garden and food
preservation program in Missis-
sippi will be known as the Lii
berty Garden Program. 1t calls
for an expansion of both home
gardens and food preparation act
Ivities in view of the presen
world situation.
Some of the benefits of such
activities would be improvement
Of the diet, the health and mo-
rale, making the food budget 60
farther and contribute materially
to National Defense.
All organized groups such as
Home Demonstration Clubs, Gar
den Clubs, Youth Groups and in
dustrial and civic organizations
will be called on to cooperate in
the program.
Gardening time is here and
every family with an available
plot should have a garden of
some type this year. whether it
be a half acre or a pocket size
garden. Recent freezes delayed
gardening somewhat but there is
still time to have a full spring
and summer garden.
The preserving of food involves
canning, drying and storage of
surplus supplies of vegetables and
fruits. Even if there are no sur
pluses from the garden. house
wives can buy fresh vegetables
for considerably lower prices dur
ing the season.
The value of home garden pro-
duction and food preservation,
especially to those families with
limited food budgets, is doubly
important under present condi-
tions.
Time Savers
Learning to control time, energy
and fatigue are important to hap
py living. Some of the methods
for controlling these are planning,
acquiring skills and techniques,
improving methods of doing
things, improving working con-
ditions and through the use of
personal help and commercial
time savers.
Analyze routine household tasks
and see just what each requires

Boil Weevil Numbers

Boil Weevil Numbers
Despite the extreme cold this
winter, cotton growers are ad-
vised to stock insecticides for con-
troll of the boil weevil and other
cotton insects.
What per cent of the hibernat-
ing weevils were killed by the
cold weather is not known now,
state entomologists say. The Vice.
wills hibernate in such varied
places as hay stacks, barns, edges
of woods, down from four to six
inches in litter and under bark
of trees.
Damage is not determined so
much by the number of weevils
that come into the cotton fields
in the spring, as by the amount
of rainfall in May, June and
July.
A small number of weevils COM
bined with a wet spring could
mean heavy damage in July and
August.
Buy poisons now and store
them, as a shortage is expected.
Any not used can be carried over
another year if stored properly,
A good plan is to purchase SO
pounds of dust insecticides, or
the equivalent in liquids, for each
acre of cotton grown in 1851.
See the county agent for this
years cotton insect control re-
concentrations.

Der of diseases of livestock. Every
