Cotton Defoliation
by w. r. SULLIVAN.
County Agent

Most of the cotton in the delta
area of Holmes County will pos
sibly need defoliating this year
due to the extra heavy foliage
the stalk carries. Most of the cot
ton in the hill area of Holmes
County is cutting out and is de-
foliating itself therefore will not
need any defefoliation uunless it
happen to stay green longer than
you would like it to.
Defoliate not earlier than 20
days after the crop cuts out-s
fellowish cast across field and ex-
cess dropping of young squares,
blooms and young bolls. II the
youngest top bolls are 20 days
old or if most of the bolls are
matured at defoliation time there
will be little loss in yield or
quality of lint. II weevils have
destroyed the top crop in rank
cotton defoliate to save bottom
crop from Doll rot.
Materials to use-Calcium cya-
namid, Special Grade, known as
areo cyanamid. will do a good job
of defoliating il applied while
dew is still on the leaves. Use at
the rate Of 20 to Is pounds Per
acre on rank cotton and ten to
fifteen pounds per acre on small
cotton. 4e :.
Extra heavy foliage may re
quire as much as thirty pounds
per acre.
Crimson Clover and Rye Grass
In late September disk the
crimson clover and rye grass vo-
lunteeripg area and put out the
fertilizer at time Of disking.
Demonstrations have proved we
get a better stand Of crimson and
rye grass where we disk it in the
fall rather than just let them
come up on the hard ground.

BIockIeg And Malignant
Edemu Of Cuttle
by DR.. J. e. Chancellor

sion among the farmer VI Iioiiiie'
County concerning two diseases
Of cattle, malignant edema and
blackleg.
These two diseases are caused
by two different but closely re-
lated bacteria. BY observation
and physical examination OF an
infected animal, at times it is not
possible to distinguish between
these diseases. Therefore if the
animal in question has been vac
cinated for blackleg and dies
with symptoms which resemble
blackleg the farmer concludes
that the bacteria was no good or
that the cali was missed when
vaccinating. This is not always
the case. the calf or cow could
have had malignant edema.
This report will deal with only
blackleg and in later editions ma
lignant edema will be discussed.
Blackleg is an acute. febrile in
fectous disease of cattle and less
frequently of sheep, characterize
ed by the formation of crepitant
swellings in the muscles. The
ages affected are frequently six
to 10 months but it does occur in
animals Of all ages. The animals
affected are usually those in best
condition.
The causative organism Of
blackleg is clostridium clauvei, a
bacteria. The spore form Of this
organism Of blackleg is very diff
ficult to kill. It may Withstand
boiling water for two hours orI
may remain alive In driedI
two years. This organism
exists in. the soil and in pastures
or grazing grounds once infect
ed the disease win appear year
after year in susceptible animals.
In sheep the disease seems to
be quite often a wound infect
ion. occurring after docking,
md .shearing. In cattle, wounds
are seldom found and it is be-
Iieved that infections occur most
through ingestion.
The period from time Of con-
tact until SYMPTOMS appear varies
from one to five days. The usual
symptoms exhibited are - a |
marked rise in temperature, lame
ness swelling that crackles like
crepe paper may be present in
loin, neck and legs. The animal
'oon goes down and sue
,umbs in one-half to two days.
Any or all these symptoms may
be absent.
A provisional diagnosis may be
made, when crepitant swellings
in muscular parts accompanied
by fever, are found. A positive
diagnosis can be made only when
issue from an infected animal is
sent to a recognized veterinary
iiagnostic laboratory.
Successful treatment is posi- |
Ole if the infected animal is
treated in early stage of the dis
ease.
On post mortem the infected |
carcass may reveal crepitant |
and when the skin is re-
moved black-colon may be seen
n the muscles. The carcass
units a rancid butter odor.
The carcass should be disposed
If as soon as possible. Either bury
Or burn and disinfect site with
,uick lime.
There has been much contro-
yersv concerning prevention of
The immunization is or
done in late winter or
,arly spring because the infect
ons are contracted on the range
,r pasture during grazing sea-
'on. In regions such as Holmes
county where the disease is COM
non the young cattle should be
'accinated regularly. In case of
IN outbreak isolate the infected
lnimals and vaccinate the entire
,erd, mature cows as well asl
alves. Blackleg does not respect
he age of cattle.

wide significance was born.
This new industry has grown to be one of
the states most important enterprises, and its ,
activities and expenditures have contributed
decisively to the economic progress of
Mississippi
: & Last year, CULTS activities benefited
directly more than 900 Mississippians. CULTS
ten field discoveries and 500 million invest
ment, as we'll as the / S million new dollars which
GULF currently is adding to Mississppis chan
neis of trade each year, have produced indirect
benefits for many more Mississippians.
The accomplishments of GULF in finding
oil and natural gas in this state, like the states
accomplishments in improving its agricultural.
industrial balance and establishing a sound basis
Tor future economic growth, are made possible
by faith in Mississippi by willingness to make
large investments in time, effort and money!.
and by the friendly, cooperative spirit of the
people who live here.

Taft 10 Hesitate
On Revising Labor
Act This Session
BY the Associoted Press

Senate Republican Leader
Taft said today he would "hesi-
tate" to ask Congress to revise
the Taft-Hartley Labor Rela-
tions Act this session.
But the Onion said he thinks
the Senate Labor Committee
should agree on a bill to amend
the law.
He said efforts are being made
by executive departments to
draft amendments which could
be advanced as administration
proposals by Secretary of Labor
Durkin.
White House Discussion.
If agreement can be reached,
Senator Taft said, these pro-
posalS may be discussed at a
White House meeting of Con-
gresSional leaders with President
Eisenhower next week.
Senator Taft said he would
like to push through some
amendments to increase the
number of Labor Board men,
bers from five to seven and to
give the boards general coun-
sci broader independent status.
Sees Flood of Amendments.
But he said that if such
amendments were sent to the
floor there would be a flood of
other proposals with the pros
pect of time-conSuming debate.
Because Congress hopes to wind
up this years session by July 81,
he said he thinks the Labor
Committee should report out a
bill "and let it sit there all sum-
mer-subject to criticism-and
have it ready to 60 next winter"

plain just why AD-X2 does this,

dent?" Senator Ferguson asked.

he is confident that AD-X2

gardless of whether every user

morrow. Mr.. Ritchie said he

Chrisfoffe| Gets
Reduced Sentence
On Perjury Charges
Minimum of Is Months
Set for Ex-Union Aide
In Denial of Red Link

Harold r. Christoffel, Milwau-
kee labor leader, today was SEN
fenced to serve Is months to
four years and fined 500 on
charges of perjury before a
House Labor Committee.
The sentence replaced a two
to six-year term originally i'm
posed on the same charge.
The old sentence was vacated
by the Supreme Court on the
grounds that it was improperly
based on the District Code. The
high court held that the United
States Code should have pre-
vailed. The District Code pro-
vides a 10-year maximum for
perjury, while the United States
Code provided a f1ve-year maxi
mum.
Today's sentence was imposed
by Judge F. Dickinson Let's in
the U S. District Court for the
District of Columbia. Judge Let's
refused to renew the bond of
$4,000 under which Christoffel
had been free pending appeal,
and ordered the defendant COM
mitted.
Attorneys David Rein and Da-
vid Scribner said they would ap-
peal Judge Let's ruling.
The judge also rejected mo-
tions for a new trial and for ar
rest of judgment. The latter
motion would have had the ef-
feet of throwing the case out of
court on the grounds of faulty
indictment or trial procedure.
Christoffel had twice been
convicted of lying to the House
committee in 1947 when he de-
MED he had Communist affilia-
tions. After his first conviction,
the Supreme Court in 1949 or
dered a new trial, and he was
convicted a second time.
Christoffel was an official of
the United Auto Workers. He
was active in union affairs at the
AlliS-Chalmers plant in Mil
waukee.
In today'S arguments Mr..
Scribner charged that Christof-
fels prosecution stemmed from
a scheme of vindictive persecu-
ton by the corporation where he
was the leader of a union :"
Mr.. Scribner recalling that
Christoffel had been facing jail
since 1947 told the court that
living under this cloud" had
been punishment enough.
