We read something we didn't
didn't know before about blood
donations; A pint takes only 20
minutes TO give. A civilian body
replaces it in "a hours. Almost
anyone between ages 10 and 50 is
eligible. and could give blood
every two months.
At one point during an Allied
retreat, the supply of blood was
so low that the Marine Corps med
ical officer standing among his
wounded. with only few pints
left, had to choose which man
might live.
Think about it next time the
call goes out for blood. | know
you've been reading about syn
thetic blood, but it may be a long
time yet before that gets into
large enough production to do any
good. A life depends on you.

Holmes Farmers Plant
Serieea lespedeza
by J. r. Coca
Soil Conservation Service

Farmers within the Holmes
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict have shown increased in
terest this year in the planting
of sericea lespedeza. This is due
in part to the fact that sericea
withstands dry weather better
than any other lespedeza, makes
two tons of excellent nay per
acre under average conditions
and, since it is perennial plant,
does not require reseeding. Dur
ing the long dry season of 1852
old stands Of sericea remained
green on steep land where mos,
other plant failed to grow. In
addition to its ability to thrive
under adverse conditions, seri-
cea lespedeza is one Of the best
soil builders SO far discovered.
Twenty farmers will plant seri-
cea this yesz in cooperation with
the Soil Conservation Service.
Among these are Lutte Ellison,
o. A. Cleveland, Wade Logan,
c. c. Swinney and David vii.
iams, all of Lexington. In al
most every case these paintings
will be made on areas usually
considered unsuitable for regular
pasture development. After an
plying 500 pounds of mixed ferti-
lizer per acre and preparing q
good seeded, these farmers will
plant the seed some time next
month.
Lutte Ellison and o. A. Cleve-
land, in preparing their twenty
acre fields for sericea, found it
necessary to use a bulldozer to
eliminate some of the gullies. A.
long with the others who will
plant sericea this year Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Ellison expect to
make some of their idle land pro-
duce feed for their livestock.
AS you travel along the high
way between Lexington and
Tchula, take look at Mr.. Cleve-
lands sericea planting site. Re-
call to mind the gullies that were
there, how barren the whole
field looked, and the fact that
the water in the farm pond was
always muddy. After a good
growth Of sericea has been Sc
cured on the field the picture
should change.

Boys corn clubs spread quick

crop cotton system to diversified
ion with increased farm income
