Feed Grain Bill

Feed Grain Bill
The feed grain bill just passed
by Congress will not have much
effect on Southern farmers as
we are a feed deficient area
After the passing of this bill
there is sure to be a program
featuring a government support
price of $1.20 per bushel of corn
to the ones participating. The
cash market price of Southern
corn is usually 10 to Is cents a
bushel higher than the govern
ment support price. This means
that Southern farmers will be
selling corn for a higher price
per bushel, if you have corn to
sell or will be paying higher
prices if you have to buy it.
This should be a real stimulant
to cause us to produce more corn.
The feed grain bill program is
designed more or less for the
corn belt and grain sorghum
areas of the west and will take
corn and sorghum acreage out
of production. With the passage
of this bill it is predicted that
prices of corn will be higher
this fall in our local area. / am
sure you will be getting informal
tion on the feed grain program
very soon that will help you de-
termine whether or not you
would like to enter the feed
grain program.
The program will be handled
through your ASC Office as the
cotton program has been hand
led in the past. e 4
!. AS soon as full details have
reached our office we will let
you know just how it works.

Cotton Release Acreage
By w. R. SULLIVAN

SOAA0u HeAedSe Acreage
know that most of you arc
tired of hearing and seeing sc
much in the papers about plant
ing or releasing cotton acres
This is such an important topic
for the cotton producing areas oi
Mississippi that it is necessary
that we remind you again that
Saturday, April lst, is the final
date that cotton acres can be re-
leased.
II you are not going to plant
any or all of your acres please
go by the ASC Office not later
than Saturday at noon and re-
lease the acres you are not go
ing to plant. BY doing this we
will not lose our farm allotment,
our county allotment or our
state allotment for future use.
Last year in the state of Mis-
sissippi there were 117,205 acres
of cotton allotment that were
implanted which meant loss
of about 20 million dollars to the
state of Mississippi. If you
multiply that by 5, which they
say each dollar turns over about
5 times year, would mean the
farmer, merchants, ginners and
the day laborers lost approx
imately $100,00O,00 during 1860
due to not planting or not re-
leasing their acres.
Keep in mind Saturday al
noon, April 1st, will be your last
chance to release your cotton
acres.

Rains
We realize that heavy rains
have delayed preparation of row
crop land. Lots of the fields
need drainage in order that we
may get into the fields much
quicker after rains. If you will
walk your farm Immediately
after some of our heavy rains
and make notes as to where your
drainage bitches need to be, as
soon as your land is dry enough
to get in with equipment, put in
" or w bitches to take the water
off your fields much faster than
it would get off otherwise. Your
fields will dry out sooner and
will work much better and
quicker after rains have fallen.

lower price fabric. Draw
draperies should be about 21s
times the window width.
It's good idea to take a
sample home and place it at the
window where you plan to use
it, before you buy materials or
ready-made draperies. Then you
can tell if the, material is appro-
pirate in texture, color and de-
sign.
Don't Forget Your Shopping List
Yes, a shopping list can save
you lot of extra steps. 1t saves
backtracking and going up and
down aisles. 1t will also be d,

some reason, most folks don't add
much to list. They buy what's
ion it and that is about all.
Lists jog your memory, too.
When you get everything you
need, you save yourself extra
trips to the store.

Should / let the children eat

You'll find the answer on the
package containing the dye. It
will tell you if the color is harm
less.
Eggs to Dye
Since white shell eggs dye in
clear bright colors, they are usu-
ally the one in demand at Eas-
ter-egg-dying time. This heavier
demand sometimes pushes the
price up on the white-shell eggs
II you find brown or speckled
shell eggs that cost less, you can
get unusual color effects with
them. Brown-shell eggs are, often
a good buy for special decorating
with decals, transfers or a fine
paint brush.
Brown shell eggs at lower
prices than white ones make a
good buy for use at meals. The
shell color doesn't affect the
quality or contents-look for

A construction budget of
$l6.5 million will be recon-
mended to the Montgomery
Board of Education by School
Stunt. c. Taylor Whittier.
His capital expenditure re-
quest. scheduled to be pre-
sented to the board tomorrow
night, is about ST million less
than his recommendations for
1861, which finally were
trimmed to $15.3 million by the
board itself and the county
council.
DR.. Whittier, in pre-budget
briefing session to the press,
explained:
THE reduction does not
mean that there has been any
lessenlng in enrolment, nor
any appreciable slowing-up of
capital construction. Rather,
the reduction is the result of
deferring SIS million in con-
struction money to 1854 to
allow a full year for planning"
Planning Funds Provided
The budget now in the max
ing reflects planning funds for
this construction. he added. in
cluding six elementary and one
