If your cows cannot keep
the clover grazed fairly close
it would be advisable to lake
a moving machine and clip the
heavy growth areas in order
to permit your grasses to come
on earlier.
The first few days of April
is an ideal time for planting
lespedeza. You may sow les
pedeza on oats where the oats
are going to be cut for hay
within a few weeks. 1t is not
advisable to plant lespedeza In
heavily fertilized oats that are
going to remain for grain. The

1861 Feed : Grain Program
Just a word concerning the

passed by CONFESS. This pro-
gram is voluntarily in one re-
spect. But if you are a corn
or grain sorghum producer it
Is to your advantae to get full
information concerning tn S
bill, particularly If you row
oats or other small grain. 1t is
impossible to discuss this bill
In a news article or in a letter
so let me urge that il you pro-
duced corn in the past two
years on your farm you
should contact your ASC Ad-
ministrator or contact me and
we will be glad to discuss the
bill with you. After you have
all the details I believe yo-

not been received at this time

Extension Offered
On Series I Bonds

"'The latest extension Of
fered on the oldest Series e.
Savings Bonds at a full 1914
per cent annual interest rate
is a boon to the thousands of
people in this country who
still hold bonds bought be-
tween May 1911 and May
1949," Mr.. w. d. Wilson,
Holmes, County Volunteer
Savings Bond Chairman, said
today.
He referred to the recent
announcement by the Trea-
sury dealing with E. bonds
that begin to reach the end
of their extended maturity In
May of this year. This second
10-year extension was pro-
missed back In 1859, but the
terms and interest rate were
not announced at that time.
Under the new ruling, these
bonds will return 81 per cent
each year, compounded semi
annually, based on their cash
value; to illustrate, a bond
which cost S75 in May 1871
will be worth S134.52 In May
1861. The new 81 per cent IN
terest rate will be on this
amount and If the bond Is
held until May 1871 It viii be
, worth $195. 04.
"All of these bonds bought
between May 1871 and May
1849 originally drew % per
cent interest" he continued.
"In their first extension, they
have been earning from 2.90
to BAT per cent, if held to ex-
tended matudity.
"Now those loyal bond own
tr5 who have Kept their E
bonds for the full 20 years
will be rewarded with full 81
per cent return each year on
the full current value Of their
bonds. This should encourage
them to reap the benefits of
this high rate for another full
10 years"
The County Chairman said
nearly SIS billion in the 1941-
40 E Bonds are still outstand-
ing in the country as a whole.

Funds are available until July

stock yards. Indemnity will be
paid on reactors revealed to

If you bring animals to sale

entire herd of cattle. In test

are reactors. This is a good
opportunity for you to clean

Applying Fertilizer

Applying Fertilizer
Let me urge that you apply
YOUR fertilizer either deep un-
der the row or 4 to 6 inches
to the side of the drill in row
rather than broadcasting your
fertilizer. Experimental results
have shown that by banding
YOUR fertilizer it takes less
fertilizer than if broadcasting
to get same results. By apply
fertilizer deep in bed or deep
down grass and weed pro
blems during the stages that
the cotton is trying to grow.
***k***
Herbicidal Oil and Flame
If you are going to use herd
icidal oils and flaming for the
control of weeds and grass 1t
is necessary that you prepare
a wide, flat seed bed. By do
ing this you can oil and flame
| without any or much injury to
your cotton.
Herbicidal Oil Permit
All farmers who intend to
herbicidal oil for post-emer-
gence weed control in cotton
and soybeans should make
application for a solvent users
permit. The form can be OBJ
tanned by writing the Motor
Vehicle Comptroller Office, P.
O. Box 1140, Jackson, Mississ-
ippi. You will be given a num-
Der which the oil distributor
will put on the invoice Wnen
oil is purchased. This Permit
will permit the purchaser Of
the herbicidal oil without you
having to pay a tax on it. This
saving can amount to a good
hit If Won blIy much Oil.

Corn Weed Control
A good stand of fast grow
ing corn is one of best weed
control practices. In order to
make corn grow off fast II is
necessary to apply all of your
phosphate and potash and at
least ] of your nitrogen under
the corn before planting. If
YOU are going to use ERE
emerge chemicals on you corn
simazine, atrazine and duiron
(Karmax DL) are recommend
ed. These will control annual
grasses and weeds but will not
control perennials weeds and
grasses like bermuda, Johnson
grass, red vine, cow itch vine
and etc. If you are going to
use diuron it is necessary to
plant your corn at least II in
ches deep in order to keep the
diuron from injurying the ger
mination of your corn.

Grazing Spring Pastures
Craze all clovers and winter
pea areas heavy during April

low for summer grazing. If.
