Nobody ever actually trapped me off

Trees For Your Lawn

Prepare the soil and dig the
hole before you get the tree.
II you're going to mulch around
the tree after planting, set It
in the hole so 1t will be the
same depth when you fill In the
soil as it grew in the nursery
or field or woods.
If you won't mulch, set the
tree an inch deeper than it was
growing.
Spread the roots in the hole as
naturally as possible and scatter
fine top soil in among them.
Make sure there are not air
spaces around the roots. Flood
water into the hole. lamp the
soil around the roots of large
trees with a two-by-four.
If your tree Is In a ball of
soil and burlap, put it in the.
hole without removing the bur-.
lap. When you get 1t the right
depth, unfasten the burlap and
tuck it in the bottom of the hole.

What Is A Budget

All a budget is is a pattern
that you and your husband and
children have made of what YOU
as a family would like to do.
It is for you to use as a guide
to help your family make better
decisions. It involves manage
ment, which is using what you
have to get what you want.
You are applying manage
ment whenever you have a pro-
blerr that needs solving or a
choice to make. You are using
your resources - which may
be time, energy, money, credit,
skill, knowledge - to achieve
the things your family considers
important.
You can budget other re-
sources as time and engergy as
well as money. Often a wise use
of time and engergy can take
the place of money, which you
may not have.

Branch Experiment Station at
Stoneville.
The Hill bean generally re-
sembles the Lee variety but is
} to 4 weeks earlier than the
Lee and 2 to 5 days earlier than
the Dorman. It has heavy fol-
iage and averages from q to
IS inches in height. The yield
is about comparable to the Lee
but being earlier it will enable
growers to use an early ma
turing variety without reducing
production as In the past with
other varieties.
We have one or two farmers
IN Holmes County with seed for
sale. If interested in any of these
beans for seed next year please
let me know and 1 will help you
get few bushels to plant.
It is doubtful if any would be
available at planting time next
spring.

Nixon. It seems that Mr.. Tinnin
was one of the most successful
businessmen of his day. He
owned the largest of the Is sa-
looms that operated within Tch-
ula's city limits. And his saloon
was located right conveintly
down by the warf and ware
house. His establishment stood
where the present Baptist Par
sonage is now located and the
warehouse, where freight from
he many boats that used to
blow Tchula Lake, was unloaded.
From his thriving business Mr..
Tinnin saved his money and
later became a big planter. He
once owned most of the land
around Thornton on both sides
Of Bee Lake, including the pre-
sent day Big Banana, Little
Banazana, Maryland and Stone
wall plantations.
But back to Tchula, the long
lost little Brown Jug. brought
back memories of the oldtimers
when Main Street Tchula was
mostly a mud hole, especially
in the winter. They recall how
a double team wagon would
often get begged down. One
place, In front of Sheppard's
store, was the worst place TO
get begged in, and local people
always used another street on
their way to the warf.
Tchula has long since been
cleaned up of its mud holes and
saloons, but funny thing how a
little brown jug can bring back
so many memories.

Our good friend. Constable
Bob Gillespie of over Tchula
way, came up with a bit of In
formation last week that is
worthy of a good news story.
In his rounds Bob came across
a little brown jug that certainly
must have a bit of history stash-
ed away in its long years o.
existance.
Evidently, by the plainly en-
scribed words on 1t. the half
gallon jug was hand made in
Tchula, back before the turn of
the century. and was used for
storing spirited beverages dur
'ng pre-prohibition days. What
it has been used for since Is
anyboby's guess. Bob said when
he found 1t In a colored mans
crib the other day 1t had some
meat curing liquid in it.
The inscription plainly says
From A. r. Tinnin, Fine Wits
kies, Tchula, Miss" and oil
course this brought on more
talk. Talking with some of the
older citizens of Tchula about
the jug, Bob found out who Mr.
Tinnin was and In the process,
he dug up a bit of the stormy
history Of Tchula when it was q
thriving, growing young "river-
boat" town.
Judge H. B. Jones who, by
the way, claims to be Tchula's
Oldest living person who was
born in Tchula, knew Mr.. Tinnin
in his hey day. So did Mr.. w. o.

well be on cupboard shelf.
Butter. some margarine and
some lards belong in the refri-
gerator. But read the labels.
Some lards have been given
special treatment = the same
as that given to vegetable fats,
and will keep nicely out of the
refrigerator.
Most vegetable shortcomings
and oils viii keep indefinitely
on the cupboard shelf. If YOU
put oils in the refrigerator, they
may get cloudy and separate.
This doesn't hurt their quality,
but you do need to let the oil
get Dack to room temperature
before you use it.
Whenever you store fats and
oils, keep them covered. They
easily pick up flavors and odors
nom foods near them. Covered

fat storage, for light hurries
fats into getting stale.

itial appearance on Monday,
August Is, 1884, in seven news
papers. Now, Is years later, it
apears in 900 daily and Sunday
papers in the United States and
Canada, and in about 100 foreign
papers in % different countries.
The setting of the comic fea-
ture centers around Dogpatch.
U. S. A., where there are two
kinds of people-the Yokums,
who are poor but honest; and
the others, who are just poor
The Yokum are kind, trusting,
loyal, generous, and pure Of
heart; the others aren't.
In the beginning there were
only three in the Yokum FAM
ily-Mammy and Pappy Yokum.
and LII Abner. But during the
years the family has grown. In
1852 LII Abner took a wife,
Daisy Mae Scragg; and they now
have a son, Little Abe.
Fond readers will recall in
1854 the appearance of Tiny
Yokum, who was returned to
his rightful parents by absent
minded Granny Groggins, in
whose far4distant home NANNY
had been desperately i'll \l5h
years before, and who had sent
her back to Dogpatch to recupe-
rate without remembering to
tell her she'd had a fine boy.
And those of us who have
kept up with LII Abner" these
years have read about such
Capp-created characters as the
Scraggs, Daisy Macs mean
souled kinfolks, who would as
soon shoot helpless old ladies
as rabbits; Senator Phogbound,
who remembers Dogpatch only
when some of the Yokums come
to Washington; Sadie Hawkins,
for whom Sadie Hawkins Day
was named; Margin Sam,
whose most elaborate wedding
ceremony costs only eight dol
lars; Ole Man Nose, whose pre-
dictionS nobody understands
until they come true; General
BHllmodse, whose motto is:

year to do a good job of con-
trolling these infected area.
Dock came up early this year
and grew rapidly due to mois-
ture and high temperatures.

enough to spray one acre. When
spraying be suree the tenpera-

the actual spraying is done.
Crimson clover, wild winter

AL Capp was born September
Is, 1909, at New Haven, Conn.
At the age of nine, while trying
to hop ride on an ice truck,
he slipped and was run over by
q streetcar. His left leg had to
be amputated. During the two
years that it took him to learn
to walk on his wooden leg, he
spent most of his time drawing
start him on a long successful
~areer.
When he had fully recovered
from his unfortunate accident
and was several years older, ne
and a friend spent a summer
hitcanhIzing and tr'amping
through the Cumberland Noun
tanS. The mountain people young
Capp encountered there impress
sed him, and he made mental
notes of how they dressed, what
they said, and their wa of life.
Finding that he liked to draw,
he decided to become a car
tooniSt. Upon graduation from
high school, he entered art
school; but was kicked out OF
first one and then another be-
cause he was unable to pay his
tuition.
At nineteen he talked himself
into a Job drawing a now-de-
funct cartoon panel for the AS
ISOLATED Press, and was fired
after six months.
He went back to art school,
and it was about this time that
he hit upon the idea of the "Lfl
Abner" cartoon.
Getting some sample strips
together, he tried to sell it to
a national newspaper syndicate;
but they wanted to change some
of the characters, and Capp
didn't want this. He then went
to United Features Syndicate In
New York. They not only took
it. but have been syndicating il
ever since.
And this is the 18th anniver-
sary of Al Capp's Lii Abner'
comic strip.

Frosted Sorghum ami Grasses
by w. r. Sullivan

Frosted Sorghum anu Grasses
We have been asked MANY
times if there was any danger in
grazing second growth sorghum
and Johnson grass after frost
has killed 1t back. There is GER
tainly danger in grazing frosted
sorghum, Johnson grass, sudan
and millet Immediately after
being killed by frost. There is a
possibility of prussic acid being
developed and this is very poi
sonous to animals.
If you have such areas where
cattle are ranging after your
first good frost 1t would be well
to move your cattle back into
your pastures until the grasses,
sorghum and etc. have had time
to dry out. After they have dried
thoroughly there is usually not
any danger of being poisoned by
such grasses.
Take a good look at your
fields, particularly for the sec
ond growth sorghum areas and
do not run a risk of losing a
number of your cattle from eat
ing frosted sorghum.

seeding with oats, wheat and
rye grass it is about time that
this sodding takes place as we
will have some cold weather in
the next few days. The competi-
ton of our grasses already there
will not check the growth of the
oats. wheat or rye grass planted.
1t Is doubtful If you will get any
grazing from sod seeding crops
until the later part of the win
ter and during the early spring.
1t would be well to fertilize
these areas when you plant and
sow the recommended amounts
of seed necessary to get a good
stand.

Of the Yokum family; the Bald

many others. The Shmoos, who
make work and money unnec-
essary, made their appearance
in LII Abner" in 1913. They
again appeared in the strip re-
Gently.
From the 'Li'l Abner" strip
have come comic books bearing
the same name, and a broadway
musical. Then, too, much has
been written about Lii Abner
and Capp in numerous national
magazines.
And LII Abner" has brought
2 constantly increasing number
of honors and awards to its
creator, now so years of age, in
GLIDING "Cartoonist of the year"
"Favorite Ca~toonist," Out
standing Humorist," and others.
1t must take a vivid mag
nation to draw a comic strip
especially for Is years and Al
Capp certainly has one, to create
the characters he has. And his
unusual cartoon feature, loved
around the world by people of
all ages, has the everyday in
terest of many people as to
the happenings of the Yokum
family, at Dogpatch, U. S. A.
Congratulations and many
more successful years, AL Capp
and Lii Abner.

Managing Frosted Grass Area

Managing Frosted Grass Areas
November and December are
two good months to Craze the
grown up grasses after being
killed by frost. If these areas
are saved until after Christmas
there may be enough rain to de-
cay a lot of the grass.
Many herds of dry cattle are
maintained from November
until after Christmas on frosted
grass areas. IF these areas are
graZed down much of the clover
and wild winter peas will come
back which were held down by
leavy growth of grasses.
