VRD Report

A total of more than 40 dis.
abled residents of the Hattiesburg'
district have been helped to get
into suitable jobs this fiscal year,
it was reported today by c. c..
Barefoot, Counselor, Vocational
Rehabilitation Division.
Mr.. Barefoot said the persons
rehabilitated were placed in en-
ployment suited to their abilities
as well as their limitations. How
ever, he pointed out that the num-
Der who have been helped has not
increased because the vocational
rehabilitation program in MiSsis-
sippi needs more funds in order
to be able to serve more people.
"The disabled in Mississippi
could have a Vocational Rehabili-
tation program twice the size of
the present one" continued Mr..
Barefoot, eff we had adequate
state appropriation to obtain two
federal dollars for each dollar our
state sets aside to help the handi-
capped"
The Vocational Rehabilitation
program in every state is admin
istered only by the State agency,
Mr.. Barefoot pointed out. He ex-
planned that although federal
matching money is available on a
matching basis, there are none of
the usual Strings" attached to its
use within the state, as SO many
people think at first.
The State Board of Vocational
Education is the governing board
for the operation of the MISSISSIPPI
pi Vocational Rehabilitation Divi-
SION" Barefoot stated He also
pointed out that it was largely
through the efforts of persons in
the field of education that pro-
gram of Vocational Rehabilitation
for civilians was first made pos
sible in 1920.
There are more than 100 per-
sons now receiving some rehabili-
tation service at the present time
in the Hattiesburg District which
includes Covington, Forrest, JEFF
ferson Davis, Lamar, Lawrence,
Marion, Pearl River and Walthall
Counties.

Stote Runks Ninth
In Pulp Industry

Nine per cent of Mississippi's
manufacturing employment force
is at work in the pulp, paper and
paper products industry, placing
the state fourth in the nation in
this category, said Warren Hood,
Jackson, Chairman of the Missis-
sippi forest industries committee.
Mississippi ranks directly be-
hind Maine, Louisiana and Florida
and was one of the nine states in
the nation which produced more
than a million tons of wood pulp
in 1855, latest year for which com
plete statistics are available.

The World Of Nature
BY John M. Frazier

Late spring is the transition to
the summer season. The regular
pattern of the weather is to al
ternate hot days with coll and
fair days.
Each type is the result of the
kind of air mass that is surround
ing us at the time. High tenn
perature with high humidity and
rain is the product of a warm
air mass fro mover the Gulf of
Mexico. The cool, dry air is
brought by cold air mass from
the weather spawning ground of
the Attic region.
With the coming Of summer,
there will be few cool days be-
cause the Attic air masses cannot
penetrate this far into the sub
tropical atmospheric condition
over the Gulf of Mexico and its
adjacent land areas.
Plant Development
Spring is the period for seed
termination. Most of the annual
plants have begun growth. Trees
have added much of their an
nual rings. This is known as sec
ondary growth. Most of tn e
shoots have made their linear
growth. This is known primary
growth. Slow growth will con-

tinue.
What, then, is left for plants
TO do? Chiefly it is a process of
maturing fruits and the storage
of food for the next growing
season.
Some of the earliest plants have
already matured fruits and are
storing food for the next season.
Among the wild fruits in this
group are huckleberries. dew
berries, and strawberries.
Bird Activities
The birds that nest early have
produced one brood and in some
cases are now making prepare
ton for the second brood. Among
the birds that may be building
new nests, repairing the old nest,
or making addition thereto, are
some of our permanent bird pop
ulation. The list includes Eng
lish sparrows and starting, both
of which live close to human
habitation. Others are mockins
birds, bluebirds, cardinals, and
doves.
The white throated sparrows
have gone further north to nest
Most of them have returned to
their nesting site by mid-May

singing its melodious notes in
dense shrubs after this date.
The transientS that like to ling
er with us until late spring in
clude the cedar waxwings. They
can be seen in small flocks and
their high pitched notes can be
heard from tall trees as late as
the first week in June. When the
supply of ligustrum berries is
exhausted, they move northward.
They reach their breeding ground
in time to produce one brood be-
fore returning to their winter
feeding ground.
The MAIN flow of the north
word migration of birds general
ly has passed. The indigo bunt-
ing is a species which may be
seen occasionally late in May.
They are seen in what seems to
be small mixed flocks. The males
are darker than bluebirds while
the female resemble sparrows.
The difference in color of pairs
I makes the seemingly mixed
groups. The deep blue color of
males always attract attention.
Insect Increment
Longer and warmer days favor
increases in the insect popula-
tons. Many eggs that were laid
last summer and autumn have
Transformation of metamorphosis
and are ready to emerge as
young insects. Grasshoppers by
the millions have been, and are
continuing to make their ap-
pearance as tiny, immature in
sects known as nymphs.
The reason plant lice (also
known to the entomologist as
aphids) can increase in such pro-
digious numbers is because of
a peculiar change in their meth
weather arrives. During cool
seasons female aphids mate and
lay eggs. Both male and female
insects are produced by this
method During hot weather, fe-
males stop laying eggs. They be-
gin giving birth to live young
! females.
Within about three days these
females that were born alive,
give birth to other females They
do not mate with males. Soon
many generations have b e n
born. A season of only 90 hot
days could have 30 generations.
Many of the older ones continue
to give birth to young for several
weeks.
The process of giving birth to
live young without the aid of
males is known to biologists as
parthenogenesis. In most species,
only female are developed par
thenogenetically. In honeybees,
however, this process produces a
male, the drone. The eggs from
which all drone honeybees de-

FARM PONDS

Farmers built 87,430 ponds in
1856, a record for any one year,
according to the Agriculture De-
partment. The previous high
mark was 86,421 built in 1854. In
the last six years, 425,521 ponds
have been built with technical as
sistance from the Soil Conserva-
ton Service. Since the service be-
gan offering such assistance,
farmers have built 100000 ponds,
averaging one to two acres each.

December 81 Final
Date to Complete
|ACP Practices

December 81, 1857 is the fina'
date by which operators mus
complete ACP practices, Chair
man Arthur Anderson of, the
County ASC committee said this
week. He also pointed out that
December 81 is the last day for
reporting work done under the
ACProgram and not previously
reported to the ASD office.
If a practice is substantially
completed, however, the County
ASC committee may approve an
extension of time for completing
a practice under the 1857 pro-
gram provided the operator re-
quests an extension from the
County Committee on or before
December 81, Mr.. Anderson add

1858 program. For example, an
operator may have completed a
dam except for riprapping, in
which case he could be paid for
the earth moving from 1857 funds
and make an agreement with the
county committee to complete the
riprapping in 1858. When this is
completed, the payment for rip
rapping would be made from 1858
funds.
All persons participating in the
ASC should contact the County
ASC office Immediately to report
completion of practices or report
progress of work on practices not
completed and request an extern
sion of time if the practice is
substantially completed or re-
approval of a practice under the
1858 program if it is not substan-
TALLY completed. Operators are
urged to discuss any problems in
connection with the 1857 ACP
with the County Committee or
County Office personnel prior to
December 81, 1857.
