to help them with their drainage
problems. They are interested In
| good system of drain bitches
rather than the usual drain ditch
with which they were formerly
concerned.
Better farmers are learning that
proper drainage systems usually
include dragline bitches through
the bottoms with V or w type dit
ches across the fields to bring row
water into the main bitches. These
systems also sometimes call for
field diversions that are built
around the bottom fields on q con-
tour and discharge it in protected
outlets.
Many colcred farmers in the
county are now showing interest
in properly draining their land. And
as soon as one or two have ditch
eS constructed on their farms
many others in the community
see the effect of good bitches and
likewise become interested and
file requests for drainage assist
ance.
In the area between Lexington
and EbeneZer several farmers
have already solved their drainage
problems by the newly constructed
drainage systems. Twenty acres
of the best bottom land on the
Epps Owen farm has been pro-
tected from overflow by new drag
line bitches. George Patton and J..
D. Rule have newly built drain dit
ches that protect more than so
acres of their best farm land. Ano-
Their colored farmer in this area
who has completed his drainage
system is Giles Goblin. He has
made safe for cultivation 18 acres
of land that has been practically
useless because of overflow water.

what we already have in abundance. And then
we call that prosperity.
Recently we were talking to a man who want
ed to buy a certain medicine for an old ailment.
The druggist had never heard of it. This was no
fault of the druggist for such old tried and faith
full remedies had been lost by the introduction of
the new powerful drugs. And as he said you got
over your illness now and then had to get over the
drug effects. In other words you were double
sick. But modern drugs have accomplished Won
ders and the future will see more of it. However
we are glad to say goodbye to sulphur and mo-
lasses in the springtime but we liked to dig up
s~assafras roots and drink the tea. We can still
shudder at the thought of castor oil and getting
rubbed with coal oil but they sure got results for
what allied you. They even tell us that they have
drugs now for uninvented diseases.

County Agents Notes

Z. Take better care or bulls, par.
ticularly young bulls.
8. Provide plenty of pastures
F'ertilize pastures if acreage is
short.
9. Avoid over grazing.
10. Avoid selling light calves.
1t cost 40 to so dollars to produce
a calf. You don't make much
when ITS to 200 pound calf is sold.
IL. Creep feeding when feed is
cheap and cattle prices relatively
high should be considered. Cal
YES can be heavier and more uni
form at market time when creep
fed.
IL. Save back top end of heif-
erS for replacement of heifers.
Ii. Control diseases through pre-
venting methods such as vaccina-
ton.
Ia. Control external and internal
parasites.
Is Marketing Is most important.
Many cattlemen do a good job of
production the year round but fail
to do a good job at market time.
Is. A good job of ~dehorning and
castrating may increase market
value of calves from $1.00 to $500
per 100 weight.

Diversified Farming

Diversified Farming
Records show that those farm
ers engaged in a diversified type
of farming regardless of section of
state were more able to pay their
bills the last couple of years than
were the farmers just depending
on one crop such as cotton for
their cash.
Every farm has room for more
than one cashAenterprise. A COM
bination of cattle, hogs and row
crops is a good combination on a
larger percentage of the farms of
the county, whereas other farms
may be adapted to poultry enter
priSes along with their normal
farming operations. By all means
make some effort to get additional
enterprises hat will bring you in
cash throughout the year.
If farmers are interested in max
ing more money for their livestock
l am listing a number of things
below that you should question
yourself to see whether or not you
are carrying out a complete live
stock enterprise.
l. Increase the calf crop per-
centage. During the period 1916
1857 the state showed only u cal
YES out of each 100 cows. This
should be at least 80 calves out of
each 100 cows.
2. Increase weight and grade of
calves. Each time the grade falls
from one grade to the next grade
it requires so pounds more extra
weight to make up the difference
in money lost by the down grad
ing.
3. Make preparation now to win
ter COWS well but at a lower cost.
A. Sell off >old COWS or barron
cows that fail to produce a calf.
Also sell off COWS that produce
poor, small calves.
S. Make calves more uniform.
Stop year round calving. Don't
breed heifers too early.
6. Use better bulls and make
sure you have enough bulls to get
COWS properly bred. Usually one
bull to each Is to 80 cows.

Plant Lice

Plant Lice
l would like to call your atten-
ton to plant lice being found on
shrubs, flowers and in your gar
den on such plants as greens, Eng
lish peas, cabbage and etc. They
are very numerous on certain
plants at this time of year and do
much damage as sucking the life
from plants.
Plant lice can be controlled by
spraying with malathion using /
tablespoon of malathion for each
gallon water. Wet the surface
thoroughly on top and underside of
plants. You may also dust with
malithion dust for control of lice.
Rotenone dust will do a fair job
of controlling plant lice. Keep a
close watch in your garden for
other insects.
Marlate and malithion will con-
troll most all your garden insects.
They are safe to use and vege-
tables can be eaten two or three
days after applying these mater
ials.

We noted where buildings of the state could
not be named in honor of a person living. Our
only experience was in trying to get a state
highway named In honor of a man who was
responsible for the beginning of our fine system
of highways in Mississippi. But not until after
his death was recognition paid. If we are going
to name buildings or highways for people, why
can't we do this during their lifetime so they can
see the appreciation felt for their contribution to
the community or state. We witnessed dedication
of a school once in honor of a man who had been
instrumental in the fine educational system of
his county. To see the expression of gratitude in
his face as tears rolled down his cheeks, was an
honor that all could see and appreciate. Their
hearts were glad with him in seeing this done
during his lifetime, not years afterward when he
was cold in death. How foolish and mapprecia-
tive can we get by some of our rulings.

We have not been legally trained but we do
have a little common sense and law is based on
common sense. But some of the recent federal
court decisions are beyond comprehension. They
are void of legality or common sense.
For instance to their way of thinking if you
want to kill a woman don't allow a woman on
the jury and you can go free. If an Indian kills
you and no Indians are on the jury, he should
be turned loose. You must have a mixed jury to
get a conviction; that is one that will stick.
And mind you according to these federal
courts, murder is not murder no matter how
cold blooded or brutal unless you have a mixed
jury. If we keep on at the rate we are going by
such standards we will have no law. Murderers
will only get a delay and then go scot free. Grim
inals will have a field day unless juries meet a
standard set by a federal court.

X It'd Bits
from your

A special note to the owners of
new ranges!
Be sure to read your book of
instructions carefully. Particular
ly the part concerning the thermo-
statically contolled unit.
Most manufacturers recommend
lower heat setting for utensils
other than good grade aluminium.
The thermoStatic control is set for
aluminium utensils and should be
adjusted for cooking utensils made
of other metals.
Lower the temperature IS de-
grees for glass, and one manufac-
turer recommended so degrees
lower for cast iron.
1t will be to your advantage to
know what is recommended for
your range in order to get the best
results.
Plenty of Time For GIads
You can plant gladiolus corms,
as the bulbs" are called, all DUR
ing this month and until early
July.
If you plant some of the corms
every two weeks, you will have
a succession of blooms through
September.
A good distance apart to space
them is about three times the dia
meter of the CORN. It is best to
grow gladS in rows in the vege-
table garden. They are too stiff
and formal for use in show beds
of flowers. You might want a few
III back of a bed for height.
Outdoor Living
Check the tables, chairs and
other accessories of your outdoor
summertime living. Make your
plans for painting and repairing
anything that seems shabby and
run down.
The first step before painting is
to clean the surface. Use a wire
brush to remove powdery old
paint. An easy way to paint metel
furniture is to use a spray ena-
mel packaged in its own spray
IAN. You can spray enamel to
wood, wrought iron and even
wicker and straw furniture.

Little Tibet has been staging a valiant bat

Labor leaders had better watch their step in
their constant demands for higher and higher
wages. Aside from the dangers of initiation and
further devaluation of a 48 cent dollar, they will
price themselves out of business.
Foreign goods are making more and more in
roads on high priced American goods and people
will naturally buy goods at cheaper prices. This
is not a prediction but a fact we must face.
