We feel sure that you gloated over the cpl
sode where an Army little brass got bumped
from a plane reservation after he had used his
rank in getting some enlisted men bumped. These
enlisted men had been called home on account
of b~ereavements in their families. This little
brass was merely taking a vacation. Fortunately
the imposition reached the attention of a real Off
Ger and he recalled the plane, bumped this little
brass and his family and put the enlisted men,
aboard. If the Army had more men to consider
the rights of the enlisted men. then recruiters
would not have to twist the arm of men for ma
terial for the Army. We hope that this little
brass doesn't get white-washed by his SuperiorS
for his action. He really needs a kick where it
will be felt most.

1t has been said that the Russians will never
bomb Washington because they nave too many
friends and fellow travellers in that c-onglomerated
city. Judging from decisions of the alleged Sup
RENE Court that is one building that will go I'M
touched but we can't help but hope that if they
do bomb Washington a stray shot hit this UNI
American group. If there ever was a gang that
has caused more uncalled for hatred among the
people, it is this bunch of fuzzy minded trouble
makers. They have been condemned by every
legal body in this nation. But that does not deter
them for continuing to render the most asinine
decisions possible.

Conservation
News
BY A. P. Carroll

The following farmers who are
cooperating with the Holmes
County Soil Conservation District
have recently constructed drag
line bitches on their farms.
Fl. L. Nichols constructed three
bitches that drain $50 acres of crop
land. In the past following heavy
rains the water was slow getting
off of this field, due to the ditches
being too small to give adequate
drainage. This caused part of the
crops to drown out, which lowered
the production.
G.. P. Sharp on Albino Rlanta-
ton, constructed one ditch that
drained 800 acres. There were
about 80 acres of good land in this
field that is low depressed areas
that the water had no outlet and
it would have to stand until it dried
up. This would prevent parts of
the field from being plowed, until
late In the spring, which caused
late planting of crops and often
times a complete crop failure.
This ditch will give good drainage
as the bottom will be two feet
lower than any depression in the
field.
The farmers are being given as
slstance in construction of these
drain bitches by the Agricultural
Sterilization Conservation Pro-
gram, as it will pay about 65 per-
cent of the cost, when built to
specifications.
The farmers are lucky to have
available contractors who rent
equipment for this work. The fol-
lowing contractors have draglines
and have been renting them to the
farmers. w. M. Ingram and Son

The Bethesda community, with
Mrs. Johnny Bevill as chairman,

out effort in surprising their goal

turned in was $500.
According to the chairman the
Lexington campaign was disap-

Cotton -

At present some cotton has al
ready been planted and will be
coming up is soon as the weather
conditions are favorable. The uues-
ton at hand at present is whether
or not you should spray your cct-
ton for thrip. AS most of you know
some years "Trip can cause quite
a bit of damage to young cotton
whereas. in other years we are not
bothered with "Trip very much.
If we wait to see the damage be-
fore we spray for these small,
tiney insects your damage has al
ready been done. So each farmer
will have to make up his own mind
whether or not he intends to spray
for "Trip.
If you are going to spray for
"Trip it should be done just as
soon as you know you have a good
stand of cotton. You can control
thrip by spraying with recon-
mended amounts of toxaphene,
DOT, endrin and dieldren. The
phosphate poisons such as methyl
parathion and malathion will kill
thrip but last such a short time in
visable to apply either of these
materials unless you intend to
follow with one of the poisons
mentioned above.
To control "Trip it would be adj
visable to spray as soon as you
have a good stand of cotton and
then seven days later give another
application. We are not contend
ing that spraying for "Trip will in

It'd Bits
from your

Choose the accessories for your
costume with care and magma
ton. They include your hat, shoes,
purse gloves, hosiery, jewelry,
neckwear, scarves, flowers, belts
and handkerchiets.
How hard will you wear the ac-
cessory? How often will you use
or wear it? Your answers to
these two questions can help you
decide between quality and guam
tity, if your budget requires such
a decision. Items like everyday
shoes must be durable. Purely de-

still give you satisfactory service.
Whatever pieces you select, choose

RANDOM SHOTS :. by Graz Ruiz

it has put Mr.. Nehru of India In a tight fix. It all
goes to show you that when you do fence strad-
ding and overlook truth, it always comes home to
roost on your door step. Nehru should have
known better than to trust and condone actions of
the Reds and now it has created a situation right
under his nose. We just wonder how he will try
to wriggle out of this dilemma.
1t is a fact that midas teeming millions want
no part of communism. How the masses will re
act to this latest episode will put Mr.. Two-Faced
Nehru right on the griddle.

Golden Yellow Bananas

The color of the banana peel Is
a good guide to use in selecting
this popular fruit. 1t may vary
from green, to yellow faxed with
brown.
At a room temperature of about
10 degrees, the starch of the up-
ripened green fruit changes into
the sugar of the yellow ripened
fruit.
If some of the green shows at the
tips, you may bake or broil the
bananas. They are still slightly I'M
der ripe. If the peel Is entirely yell
low. you can cook or serve the
fruit as a vegetable. Or it's ripe
enough eat it knocked.
If the peel is yellow flaked with
Drown, the banana is fully ripe.
It's ready for immediate use in
cereals, salads, desserts and to
eat out of hand. You can digest the
yellow bananas faxed with brown
more quickly than less ripe ones.
They have more flavor too, than
the yellow ones.

Creep Feed Calves -

With the present price of live
stock it has definitely been prov
en- by experiment stations and
farmers that creep feeding of cal
YES pays big dividends. You are
able to market your calves at an
early age and a higher grade when
creep feeding.
A good mixture to use in creeps
is As pounds of ground, crushed or
rolled oats, As pounds of whole
grain or chopped corn with 10
pounds of soybean meal or cotton
seed meal. Allow calves to have
free access to the creep. Even if
you have to buy these grains to
creep feed it is money well spent.

AS you begin putting away cold
weather clothes, be sure they are
thoroughly clean before you store
them. Perspiration and otso~

We understand that Lexington win soon wage
war on stray dogs. If ever a community needed
to be rid of these wandering mongrels, it is this
town. To have your garbage cans turned over
and the contents spilled all over your yard, to

led, your children afraid to play in the yard, is a
nuisance from any standpoint. People who will
not feed their pets have no business owning a

Oats -

1t is possible within a few days
that we will have an outbreak of
army worms in oats. You should
check your oat fields every few
days for army worm damage. On
oats to be harvested for seed if
you find S or 6 worms per square
loot it would be well to poison the
field with DOT or some other in
secticide that will control worms.
The best way for checking for
worms is to go in your field In E
number of places, take your hand
and shake the oats arou d then
spread the straw back and check
where they have dropped on the
ground to make your count. Also,
look in the clumps at the base of
the roots as they may be hiding at
the base of the stalk.
OaTu0nS -
Keep a close check on your gar
den for insect damage. You are
more than likely to find plant lice
on most all of your garden plants
at this time. Also, on the shrubs in
the yard.
These lice and most garden in
sects can be controlled by spray
ing with malathion according to

by busting with a liz percent der
ris dust or rotenone.
On tomatoes. peppers and etc.
it would be well to spray with a

IEL AVN, (JIA)-Whlle
several members of the Cab
met, including Prime Minister
David Ben Gurion, are still
vacationing, resting in pre-
paration for an election cam
paign expected to be rough
and hard hitting, the cam
paigning for November's gen.
eral elections actually got
under way at two meetings
here this week.
The dominant Mapai Party
held a rally here addressed
by Foreign Minister Coda
Meir and Abba Eban, former
Ambassador to the United
States. The left-wing Ahdut
Avodah held a meeting here
of its National Council and
heard a fighting speech by
Gen. Yigal Allon, retired
Army hero Of the 1913 War
f Liberation. Election rallies
were held throughout the
country also by the General
Zionists and by the Herut
Party.
In his address, Gen. Allon
declared that Israel is now
'back in its pre-Sinai days."
referring to the situation in
1856 when hostilities by Arab
states forced Israel to under
take its march against the
Egyptian armies in the Sinai
Desert. He called for action
in regard to freedom of ship
ping through the Suez Canal,
declaring that, if the United
Arab Republic insists on shut
ting the Canal to Israeli ship
ing, treating it as "a private
waterway" Israel must re-
gard the Canal like any other
Egyptian target"
Premier Ben Gurion, who
had gone to a hospital for a
physical check-up in prepara-
ton for the campaign, was
found in satisfactory" con-
dition. However, he decided
on a fortnight's rest before
entering the campaign. Other
members of the Cabinet on
vacation are Finance Minister
Levi Eshkol, of the Mapai
Party; Minister of Justice
Pinhas Rosen, of the Progress
sive Party; Zalman Aranne,
Minister of Education and
Culture, Mapai; and Minister
of the Interior Israel Bar
Yehuda, of Ahdut Avodah.
Stung by Herut Party
charges that the govern
ment led by the Mapai Party
had wasted millions of dol
lars received from abroad, the
Mapai ran large advertise
mentS in the newspapers here
to defend the administration.
The advertisements, direct
ed against Menahem Begin,
who is leading the Herut ell
ection campaign, said that
"Beigin knows" that the SinGi
campaign cost Israel several
undred millions" They
stressed that Begin knew
full well that a jet plane cost
one million dollars, that a sin
gle flight wing of Vauture
fighter bombers cost twelve
millions, and that the train
ing of a single jet fighter
pilot cost $500,000.
