Socks

Mrs. w. r. A., Tdkomd Park
Does some reader know if
there is a way to restore the
elastic to the tops of mems
socks? Three of my hus-
bands pairs are almost new
and in good condition, ex-
cept that one sock in each
pair has lost its elasticity.
I'd like to know how to mend
it and how to avoid this
situation in the future.
Thank you so much.

composed of j. w. Potts, Sam
Hall, John Kimbrough, Joseph
Guess, w. j. Waits, A. p. Car
roll, John KillebreW, E. O.
Peterson and w. r. Sullivan
the following recommended
tons were made for cotton
production for the hill section
of Holmes County.
The recommendations are.
l. Well prepared seed bed
with uniform rows and plant
cotton either hill drop or drill
between April 10th and May
10th.
2. The fertilization recon-
mendations are from 80 : rs
units of nitrogen per acre,
40 : go units of phosphate and
40 60 units of potash per &C.
re all applied under the cot
ton 10 days to two weeks be-
fore planting with the excep-
ton of real sandy land. In
such cases we would recon-
mend splitting your nitrogen
and putting half under the
cotton and side dressing with
the other half about the cotton
starts squaring.
3. Thrip control our COM
mittee recommends control
ling thrips. The first applica-
ton should be applied as soon
as you know you have a stand
of cotton, the second applica-
ton should follow in 5 to 7
days.
4. Our committee recon-
mends an early season insect
control program. AS soon as
you see small squares form
on your cotton stalks you
should apply an insecticide to
control the early over winter
ed boil weevils. This applica-
ton will also control other
cotton insects that usually
knock squares off stalks. In

Cold Damage to Shrubs and
Handsome Plants.


Landscape Plants:
1t appears at this writing
that a large number of shrubs
around the homes have been
severely damaged during the
recent cold spell we had in
early January. Most of this
damage can be overcome by
cutting back the damaged
area within the next 2 to 6
weeks Or certainly before the
new growth starts on the
shrubs. Take your fingernail
or your knife and scrape the
bark lightly to determine how
far Town the cold damage or
killed area went. If the cam
blum layer, just beneath the
bark is dark at any given To-
cation that is an indication
that this part of the stem has
been killed. Keep going down
the stem until you find the
layer is not darkened and is
a normal color. Then cut the
damaged portion off at that
point. When growth resumes
IN the spring your plant will
come back to it's normal plant
size within l to 2 years
growth.

Livestock:
Let me urge that you keep
a close watch on your cattle
and be sure they get enough
roughage and protein supple
ment from now until you have
plenty of grass in your pas
lures. Plenty of roughage
along with about 2 pounds of
cottonseed meal per day
should be sufficient to arr
your cows through. The meal
may be fed on cottonseed hulls
or may be mixed with salt.
usually mixing l sack salt to
z sacks of meal for grown
cows. For younger calves and
yearlings 100 pounds salt to
300 pounds meal.
If we can be of any help to
you please feel free to call
on us.

The United States next
month will take a significant
new step to boost future sales
of made-in- United States prod
ucts within the Common Mar
ket by tens of millions of dol
lars a year.
On November 10, the Gov
eminent will open a permanent
trade showcase for American
manufactured products in
Frankfurt, Germany. Until De-
cember Z more than 80 man
ufacturers of electrical apph-
ances will display products
ranging from electric knife
sharpeners to food freezers in
a newly constructed 10000
square-foot hall in the heart
of Frankfurt's downtown BUSH
ness district.
The Government is starting
an advertising publicity drive
to attract buyers from all over
the Common Market to the CEN
ter. Statesmen and representa-
tives of the United States firms
will be constantly on hand to
sell their wares.
A key purpose of the exhibi-
ton will be to obtain overseas
distributors for United States
goods. Another prime purpose
will be to help smaller Ameri-
can businessmen get into the
Common Market.
AS Secretary of Commerce
Hodges remarked in announc-
ing the November opening of
the miniature merchandise
mart today, This is AN out
standing example Of Govern
ment-businesS cooperation" to
expand exports and a market
ing advance of major import
ance."
The Frankfurt center will be
the third we've set up in this
era of awareness Of the need
to expand our overseas sales so
we can create more jobs and
bring our international &C
counts into balance.

fled in the light Of criticism
or suggestions.
Effective November 80, Mr..
Saxon no longer intends to rely
ON the ratios of capital to risk
assets and total deposits in de-
termining the adequacy OF an
institutions capital.
Instead he will make such
determination after considera-
ton of all factors pertinent
to the management and finan-
cial condition of the bank.
Wants Flexibility
He would permit more flexi-
bility in issuance of additional
common stock without the
necessity of scheduling special
stockholders meetings for each
instance. Banks would be per-
mitted to seek Stockholder
approval of authorized but I'M
issued stock, which may be is
sued from time tN>sime for con-
structive corporate purposes.
Regulations on stock divi-
dends would be simplified to
permit banks to declare stock
dividends, slmost as a matter
of course, with automatic ap-
prevail by the controllers Of
flee unless specific disapproval
is made in rare instances.
While the controller previ-
ously has approved issuance Of
preferred stock by National
Banks only in distress situa-
TONS" it is now intended that
normal business considerations
indicating desirability of pre-
ferred stock will suffice for
such approval.
Debentures Favored
AS in the case of preferred
stock, capital debentures may
readily fulfill the corporate fl
nancing needs of Nationa !
Banks under appropriate con-
ditions, and it is intended that
this form of capital security
also be made available to Ma
tional Banks, Mr.. Saxon's let
ter said.
Other regulation CHI ng e S
scheduled for November /
would permit the appointment
of additional directors without
the necessity of calling Spe-
cial stockholders meetings. Any
interim increases in a board
would be limited to three, OF
no more than one-third of the
existing board.
Issuance of stock without
pre-emptive rights would b
permitted if stockholders ap
proved.
Banks would be permitted t
provide stock options and stocl
purchase plans for employe
under rules of the Interna
Revenue Code.
