crops so the livestock will have
all they need next winter. Les
pedeza makes one of the best
hays. In a normal year you can
expect to harvest around 2 tons
of good lespedeza hay to the acre
from good land. Cut grass hay
from any area. not needed for
grazing. johnson grass areas can
be disked, leveled off and fertil-
lied in March and they will make
excellent hay during the summer.
You may expect 2 to 3 good cut
tings of Johnson grass during the
summer.
Corn
Land planted to corn should
produce from go to 100 bushels
to the acre under a good fertili-
cation program. That is on good
corn land all up from 300 to 500
pounds of mixed fertilizer along
with 100 pounds of ammonia nj
trate per acre deep under the
corn before planting. Then side
dress with 200 pounds of double
strength per acre when corn is
about knee high at laying by
time. Leave from $4,000 to $4,000
stalks per acre which would be
about / stalk every IL to Is in
ches on 40 inch rows for early
planted corn.
The later you plant corn the
farther apart the stalks should be
in the row as you are more like
" to run into drought periods on
late planted corn. The stand
should be farther apart than on
your earlier planted corn.
Labor Saver Fertilizer is
pne of the best labor savers for
1852. With correct fertilizer il
won't take any more labor to
produce high yields than it would
for poor production. In fact it will
take less labor due to the fast
growth and shading out the
grasses.
This year good seed, plenty OF
fertilizer and good management,
will make extra money.

said in his will about the son,
James, getting the insurance.
If he had wanted his son and
not his wife to get the insurance
money, he should have changed
his beneficiary on the policy.
United States Savings Bonds
held in the name of one person
and payable on death to another
are not affected by will.
Property owned by two per-
sons, as joint tenants, with right
of supervisorship, cannot be dis
posed of by will. Under such
a set-up, the survivor becomes
the sole owner of the property,
despite any provisions to the con-
trary in the will of the other joint
owner.
You might ask: Is there no way
to prevent a man from willing
away all of his property? Can he
leave his wife and children with
out any property at all?
There is some protection Of
fered for such a situation and
that is referred to as Exempt
property. This amount OF pro-
perry cannot be willed away and
is not included in the estate for
tax or accounting purposes.
Mississippi law does not permit
a man to disinherit his wife, but
he may disinherit his children
provided he calls each by name.
Nor can a woman disinherit her
husband.
A man must call his children
by name in his will in order to
disinherit them, to simply show
that he did not forget about them.
1t is not true that in order to
disinherit a person, you must
leave them money in the amount
of at least one dollar. The fact
that person has been called by
name and a statement made to
the effect that he is being omit
ted from the benefits of the will
is sufficient proof that he was
not forgotten.
Wife's Share In Property
One question that comes up
from time to time is: In the
event a husband dies without
aeaving will, does his property
automatically 60 to his wife?
The answer is: Yes, IF there
are no children. If there are chill
dren, Mississippi law provides
that a wife inherit child's part
If there are small children left
and the wife would like to sell
the property, she is in for trou-
BILE. She cannot dispose of the
property without extensive court
proceedings. Even after the
court gives her permission to sell
the property, she cannot touch
the money without court order
every time she needs to make
some expenditure.
This arrangement must con-
tinue until her youngest child be-
comes of age.

Flame And Fabric

Fluffy or fuzzy garments are
not suitable for kitchen work or
for wear near any flame or
strong heat, clothing specialists
of the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture have been advising
homemakers for many years.
They recommend smooth, closely
woven fabric for women's work
clothes fir both convenience and
safety. Fuzzy fabric, especially
knitted fabric with brushed-up
nap, has air spaces around the
lightweight fibers which helps
keep fire alive, once it catches.
Most people know that fluff
burns more readily than solid
mass, but many don't apply this
knowledge to the clothes they
wear in cooking, burning trash
outdoors, or on other occasions

Memorials" Is

On Sunday morning at the
worship service at the First
Methodist (Old Stone) Church
the pastor, the Rev. ]. Paul
Touchton, will be speaking on
observing Memorials.
AS far back as the days of the
ancient Hebrews men have had
occasions Of remembering inn
portant events. AS Joshua led the
Children of Israel into the Prom
Used Land he had the men to set
up twelve stones in the River
Jordan that future generations
seeing them might remember
the goodness of God in bringing
them into the land. Every people
has its memorials that bear a
message often of sacrifice.
Memorial Day, May 30, has
been created by the National
Government but il had its rise in
the custom of placing flowers on
the graves of dead loved ones just
after the war between the states.
For Christians the greatest
memorial of all is that typified
in the holy communion when we
paTtake of the elements which
represent the Sufferings and
death Of Jesus Christ. The choir
will sing AT the morning service
Shellcy's The King of Love My

The most amusing part of our

it is quite a shock in these
troubled times to learn of a city
where the people are so well
pleased with the way things are
going that they don't wish a
change. Key Westers on a whole
are content. They like those
holding public office and show it
with their votes. In our last cleo

bents desiring to remain in office
were reelected. The people here

in your city of Bremerton, Wash
