1t is a known fact that there
are $4,000 Russians within a
hundred mile radius Of the 38th
parallel in Korea ready to strike,
according to the information of
one high ranking official of the
United States government.
This may account for the con-
gressional support given Presi-
dent Truman in his announced
purpose of containing the war in
Korea if possible.
No man in his right mind wants
to become embroiled in a third
world war and General Mac
Arthur's wish to bomb the Reds
Manchurian supply bases, if
granted, admittedly carried a
grave risk of bringing Russia in
openly with troops on the side
of the Chinese Reds.
But, be that as it may, we can
not go on forever pouring Ameri-
can men and boys, mostly boys,
and American equipment into
Korea. We've been preaching that
for several months now.
So if Mr.. Truman's United Ma
tions can't find some way of end
ing this conflict honorably Their
we should call a spade a spade

First School Forest
Planted In Holmes
Forest Guurdiun Club
At Goodman PIunts
1000 Pine Seedlings

The first school forest to be
planted in Holmes county was
planted by the Forest Guardian
club of Goodman. Two thousand
trees were planted on two acres
of land which was donated to the
school for twenty years by S. J.
Browning.
The trees were planted with
planting bars which are tools de-
signed for the planting OF pine
seedlings. The boys in the club
used the planting bars to dig the
holes. for the seedlings and the
girls placed the seedlings IN the
holes. This formed teams which
consisted of a boy and a girl to the
team. Rubber Perry and Irene
Mcmillan proved to be the best
team, or the more energetic. for
they planted the most seed
lings. Mr.. j. G.. Jacob. superin-
tendent of the school and E. p.
Mcmillan Of the Mississippi For
est service supervised the plant
ing.
Just what does this school for
est mean, what is its purpose, and
how will Holmes county benefit
from it? The planting of this
small forest means that some peo-
pie in Holmes county are becom-
ing interested in trees as a crop
which will produce added in
come just like cattle and cotton.
The purpose of the forest is to
provide a place in which correct
methods of thinning, pruning,
and marketing of timber can be
taught to the pupils studying the
forestry text book. Holmes coun-
ty will benefit from the forest
because the students who have
learned good forestry practices
will apply them at home. thus in
creasing the income of the coun-
ty which benefits everyone.
A school forest was also plant
ed at Coxburg this year. School
forests are planned for all schools
teaching the forestry text book
in Holmes county. 1t is hoped
that these a be planted next
fall.

Clork Is Speaker
At Rotory Club

The Rev. Hayes Clark brought
on inspirational message to mem.
bers of the Lexington Rotary club
Tuesday noon substituting for q
speaker who did not show up
for the meeting.
Taking a hammer Mr.. Clark
likened the handle of the ham,
mer to will power possessed by
man to do the work of the head,
just as the head of the hammer
does the work. The claws of the
hammer are used, he said, to cor
rect mistakes and in man the
finer character he is the more
easily and readily he cheerfully
admits mistakes.
The idle hammer is of no value,
the speaker said, and likewise the
idle life will never grow and de-
velop in character and strength
without being used to good pur-
pose. The man behind the ham
mer is what counts, he emphasiz-
ed.
Guests were Bill Daniel, of
Boise, Idaho, guest of Allie Po-
vail; Frank Hughes, guest of
Norman Weathersby, and Burt
Usry of Jackson, guest of Jimmy

Farm Storage Bins
Prove Profitable
To Farmers
Holmes Formers Urged
To Make Plans To
Preserve 81 Crops

Farm storage bins have been
very profitable to Crosby Sim
mons of Inverness. In 1850. Mr..
Simmons secured through the
Sunflower County Production and
Marketing administration a farm
stage facility loan of $1,583.35,
which was IS per cent of the con-
struction cost of four one-thous-
band-bushel capacity round steel
bins. These he used for the stor-
age of his 1850 soybean crop. After
six months storage of his four
thousand bushels of soybeans in
bins that were properly con-
structed, Mr.. Simmons sold his
beans for $1.32 more per bushel
than the market price at the time
Of harvest. MI. Simmons said,
"this more than paid for my bins
and after the removal Of my soy
beans, / now IS my bins for
storage of farm grain. I find
them a very profitable thing to
have around the farm and in 1851
i expect to increase my operation
with more bins" Mr.. Simmons
further stated, storage bins are
very handy for keeping rats and
weevils away from grain and !
think every farmer should have
one Or more if he expects to store
grain on his farm"
Looms Avdilable
Applications for Farm-Storage
Facility loans may be made at
county PIMA offices. Loans are
available to any tenant, land
lord, owner-operator, or partner
ship of producers; loans are also

their land on a cash rental basis;
and are offered for the construc-
ton or purchase Of storage facili-
ties for storing corn, wheat, oats,
soybeans, rice, and cottonseed. A
farmer may have as long as five
years to repay his loan. In case
of crop loss or any other condi-
tons beyond the control of the
borrower, the county PIMA COM
mittee may extend the time of the
loan for a longer period.
With an increasing production
Of grain crops, c. l.. Downer,
chairman of the Holmes county
PIMA committee, urges every
farmer to make arrangements for
the preservation of his 1851
crop.
Mr.. Downer further states that
every interested farmer should
contact his county PIMA office
at the earliest possible date be-
cause with nationwide defense

We've got to put Santa Claus
in the deep freeze for the dura-
ton Of the emergency" said
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virgin
ia to a group Of American edit
ors in New York in late April.
We've got to balance the bud
get If we are to survive" he
said, emphasizing the fact thai
1t is possible for America to spend
itself to defeat which would bt
just as effective from Russia's
standpoint as it would should hel
armies defeat our military force,
on the land and in the air anc
sea.
Senator Byrd made note of the
"disunity which exists all over
this country down to the tiniest
hamlet" and said that we must
have responsible non-partisan
leadership if we are to survive
this era Of excessive taxation and
regulation and government COM
petition in business.
This outspoken critic Of gov
eminent spending said America
cannot stand a 260 billion dollar
debt plus the debt of a new war
without going down. A..
It is interesting to know Sena-
tor Byrd practices what he prea-
ches.
The Virginia newspaperman
who introduced him said that
Senator Byrd was eligible, along
with many other Virginia farm
ers, to receive Federal assistance
for his extensive farm operations.
In the Senator's case the pay
ments would have run to some
thing like 40 or so thousand dol
lars during a period of the past
several years. But he has never
taken one cent from the govern
ment in his farm operations.
It is refreshing to see men Of
Byrd's stature in the Senate.
We, along with many other Mis-
sissippians, did everything we
could to get him for vice presi-
dent in 1910 on the Democratic
ticket.
Today we'd like to see him pre-
sident.

THROUGH

EYES
by Hazel Brannon Smith

The American people have not
Yet broken under the terrific load
4 taxation, regulations, red tape,
Investigations both criminal and
Military, added to the mounting
ears and uncertainties brought
IN by the war in Korea.
But they are bending under it.
Our government in Washington
keems to be operating under the
assumption that it can be all
khings to all people - and all at
The same time.
Sooner or later, and I hope it
won't be too late, our government
S going to wake up to the fact
that this country cannot indefin-
(tely maintain its high standard
bf living at home and at the same
lime underwrite a higher stand
hrd of living for Europe and
The rest of the world - much less
guarantee their peace.
When the time comes for our
congress to make the decision as
to who is going to continue to eat
butter Cor it could conceivably be
|bread) ! do not have any doubt
|who will be favored. Europe and
the rest of the world will be sacri-
|ficed to the people Of the United
States = mainly because it is the
people to whom these
same congressman must look for
their jobs.
Then a hue and cry will be
such as we have never
heard before - and we will find
that the people Of other nations
friendship we have tried to
purchase with our dollar diplo-
macy hate us more than we've
ever thought possible.
