RANDOM SHOTS ;. by Graz Ruiz

has been widely and falsely publicized.
The truth of the matter is many people
came in automobiles to the great 'giveaway'
where they were given groceries that were lug
ged out by men that needed two for a single load
as they carried cotton sacks full of cheese, but
ter and other groceries while we use oleo and
the white taxpayers foot the bill.
The situation is that the government has
trained a certain class of people to look for free
food. They have moved off the plantations and
left hundreds of houses vacant where the own
ers would have looked after their needs and have
gone into the towns where they get government
supplies by the hundred of tons of commodities
leaving the farms almost bereft of labor.
Gibbons. the great historian said When the
proportion of those who received from the gov
eminent became greater than those who contri-
buted to it, then the downfall of the Roman en-
pire was at hand
'Coahoma county had a little more than
1000 voters in the last election but we have $500
people who receive government help and then to
this we add thousands more of commodity reci-
pients. We deplore indeed the misinformation
given out by many of the newspapers and we
want the nation to know that those who want to
labor in the Mississippi Delta do not have to go
to the bread line"
Adding to the above, we have seen contempt
IDLY lazy people who would not even plant a
small garden and then come to town for turnip
greens. But as long as they can fill up sacks with
free food they come from the farthest corners of
the county to get In on the bonanza. We heard
one old colored man say: "You can beg for S
minutes and sit down for a month without hitting
a lick of work."
Who said there wasn't a Santa Claus. Old
FDR put that gentleman to work the year round.
He has worn out a thousand reindeer and packs,
and he is still behind on deliveries.

world markets. The Communists goods are pric-
ed to get the business cost or profit is no pro-
ject. for the whole operation is part of the Com
munist trade offensive. Prices usually run ten
to twenty percent below the going market, what
ever it takes to obtain entry.
The lessons for our country are obvious. For
cotton, we must continue an export policy which
fully meets the requirement of law that we re-
tain a fair share of the world market. The export
subsidy obviously has to be a realistic one -
not merely to serve the purpose of moving newly
produced cotton, but to make sure that free
world markets are not absorbed by the Commu-
mist octopus.
For our overall national policy, we obviously
cannot afford to be handicapped by straitjackets
on our trade policy which prevent us from meet
ing the Russian threat, both in~securing markets
for our products and markets in the United
States for the countries which we must keep out
OF the Russian orbit. Such a policy is essential
for our country's security, and it will also pro-
vide lasting benefits for our economy.

Conservation
News
BY A p. Carroll

Good drainage of land is very
important to produce high yields.
There is not anyone who realizes
this more than j. r. Cross, Joseph
T. and Gordin Alexander of West.
These three have completed a
large dragline ditch, which drains
200 acres of crop land. In the past
much of this 200 acres would flood
following heavy rains, causing
crop to drown ont with great loss
This entire 200 acres will be much
more dependable for farming
since this ditch has been conStruc-
ted.
Charles Donald of Goodman, re
Gently constructed 400 feet of V
bitches. These bitches drain 140
acres of cultivated land. Previous
ly this land was drained by small
crooked bitches that were not ade-
quate to drain this field. The Y
bitches were surveyed, relocated
and designed to take care of the
water following heavy rains. Mr..
Donald states that, now the wa
ter moves off the land very rapid
ly and / am able to pillow much
earlier after rains. He was very
sure that the production of crops
will greatly increase, as in the
past crops were damaged from
drowning which caused loss of pro-
duction.
The agricultural Sterilization
| Conservation Service will pay
SIS percent for construction of the
bitches. The Soil Conservation
Service technicians, laid out de
| signed and supervised the con.
struction of the bitches.

Labor Market


SUMMARY: Employment was
down slightly in January, and un-
employment was up. This is an
established trend, and the forecast
is for an increase within the next
so to 80 days. Labor demand is
off, and surplus agricultural work
ers are being routed to Florida for
temporary work.
EMPLOYMENT: The decreases
from oneand two months ago re-
suited from layoffs in trade, con-
struction, and lumber and timber
operations. Those from trade were
temporary workers hired for the
Christmas season, but weather
conditions were responsible for
the losses in construction and
lumber. Excluding construction,
other communicating indus
tries showed little change. In
agriculture, only the year around
workers and self-employed and
unpaid family workers were con-
sidered to be employed.
UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemploy-
ment showed a normal seasonal
increase, and was estimated to be
1902 in January. This estimate is
almost twice the number unem-
ployed in November 1858, and lbs
more than in January, 1858.
LABOR DEMAND AND SUP:
PLY: During January the only
real demand was for year around
agricultural workers. There were
a few requests for harvest hands
to go to the vegetable and citru
harvest in Florida. Since there
was a surplus of local labor avail
able all demands were met. Those
workers who were routed to Flo
rida will be returned to the area
in April, and will be available for
local employment.

favorable publicity stating they are so impover-
ished that the government has had to iced thous-

Foreign aid and its accompanying fraud and
waste has again been exposed. You can't buy
friendship with money but these do-gooders are
not interested in this but only the jobs it affords
these boon doggling bureaucrats. AS long as this
crazy government will furnish the funds, so long
will the waste continue.
A lot Of it is given as military aid What a
farce. The latest exposure was one of these
countries building airplanes for personal use of
its officers with facilities we had given to keep
up our own military equipment.
A foreign motor pool got enough tires in one
year to put a. tires on each truck.
Materials intended for military construction
were used to build apartment houses for foreign
civilians.
One installation had a 185 year supply of
ammunition.
Supplies for our army had been diverted,
stolen, and otherwise dissipated for these coun-
tries uses.
These and hundreds of other frauds show
conclusively that Uncle Sam has been playing
Uncle Sucker. And yet this senile old president
we have has requested $1,000, 100000 for further
waste abroad.

A producer sells his cotton.
The real choice, therefore, for
this years crop is whether the
producer prefers to produce cot
ton under the A allotment at a
price of about 3 cents per pound
above the B producer, or whether
he prefers to accept the 40 percent
increase in cotton acreage under
the B program and sell his cotton
within 3 cents per pound of the A
producer. The choice must be
made with the individual farmer
in relation to his cost of produc.

We see Were the State of Michigan is facing
bank~~prcy. They have paid a costly price for
the multitude of trifling, unworthy chiselers and
parasites flooding the relief rolls. No nation
much less a state can take care of shiftless, un-
productive masses who seek the states who dole
out the biggest checks. The population growth
of many northern states has been due to these
moochers moving in on them. We hold little
sympathy for these states and the sooner they
go broke and get on a sound American footing,
the better off they will be. You also see how an
idle population increases the crime rate.

thermore, it seems certain that
the CCC cotton will not be subject

This will mean, therefore, that
the buyers of cotton from the
1859 crop will first purchase the
available B cotton before they
purchase either the CCC stock or
the A program cotton from CCC.
Stated another way, this means
that the producer of B cotton will

Are the beaters easy to insert

You will find smooth blades

Check the beaters and bowls to
see if they are designed to feed

Consider safety. Beaters that ro-

National All Club Week

Holmes Countians should be
proud. 1t was So years ago that
what is now known. as All club
began here in Holmes County. In
1907 the first federal sponsored
corn club was organized by VIII
liam Hall Corn Club" Smith CO.
operating with Mississippi State
College and Seaman A. Knapp of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. The first corn club of
120 boys was under the supervis-
ion of County Agent, w. B. Lundy.
Some of the first club boys made
as much as 120 bushels of corn
per acre.
D. c. Lundy, one of Lexington's
leading business men and farm
ers, was a member of this first
corn club. He was one of nine
boys in the entire United States to
win a trip to Washington in recog-
milton of outstanding work done in
this original club project.
Since the original beginning of
the corn club movement here in
Holmes County in 1907 the All
club movement has spread to
every state in the United States
and a few foreign countries with
over 2h million boys and girls en-
rolled.
All club work has no doubt in
fluenced our adult farmers to re-
cord high yields over the past
years. The people of Holmes
County should be and are proud
of our All club boys and girls and
are willing to lend a helping hand
in promoting its work in the fu-
ture. Our All club boys and girls
will Away be striving ITO
MAKE THE BEST BETTER.
