degree murder May 20 by an
Arlington Circuit Court jury.

beyond a reasonable doubt the
necessary elements comprising
the crimes of murder in the first
degree, murder in the second
degree, involuntary manslaugh-
ter or voluntary manslaughter,"

brown shopping bag in a honey
suckle cluster just off the Shir-
ley highway in Arlington.

Conservation Notes
hSx z Enxa
Soil Conservation Service

Within the Flood Control area
of the Holmes County Soil Con-
servation District more empba-
sis has been placed on the treat
ment of he woodland and pas
ture than on the cultivated land.
From the standpoint of overall
erosion and run-off of water
one may consider such a view
point correct. This may be point
ed out best by the fact that on
the average 100 acre Hill farm
In the Holmes County part of
the Yazoo River watershed there
are only about fourteen acres
safe for row crop cultivation.
UndSr normal weather condi-
tons, however, these fourteen
acres will produce excellent
yields of most any crop COM
mon to this locality. This land
! should produce good crops for
generations to come, provided it
receives some help from the man
who uses it.
In following the Soil Conserva-
ton Service plan of crop rotation
for this land, some farmers have
begun the job of improving the
! condition of their cropland. The
John Kimbrough farm on the
Bowling Green road, one and a
half miles northeast Of Lexing-
ton, is a good example Of crop
rotation for improving the soil
and maintaining its productivity.
Last fall Mr.. Kimbrough selected
a forty acre bottom land field for
a grass land rotation plan. Small
drainage bitches were made for
the entire field whever they were
needed. Twenty acres were plant
ed to Kentucky 81 fescue and
+, white Dutch clover. The othel
twenty acres will be kept in row
crops for four or five years. AT
the end of that time the grass
land will be plowed and planted
