You've noticed little dents in
tile = and even wood flooring,
haven't you? The culprit may
be your pencil-thin heels, ladies,
or it may be the slim legs OF
your furniture. The dcnts are
not attractive, they collect dirt
end destroy the smoothness OF
the floor surface.
The Texas Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station has recently
made a study of materials that
might resist denting. They found
that no materials will not den.
under great pressure. But they
found some thing worms better
than others in resisting dents.
AS a rule, the thinner TIE floor
covering, the better it with
stands denting.
The best flooring, however, is
one that depresses readily but
snaps back when the load is
removed. A thing of this type
offers a comfortable Walkina
surface and still looks and
wears we'll.
Of those the Texas folks test

also depressed easily but did not
map back so readily or com
pletely. And asphalt, which re
sisted the initial dent, also
showed slight recovery.
If a tile is going to spring
back, it will do SO in the first
so minutes after the load is re-
moved. After that, there is no
further recovery, and the dent
will be just as obvious and just
az deep next week, next month
OF next year.
Here in the South, where the
temperature and humidity are
high, floors dent easier than
those in more moderate eli

Since no flooring is perfect,
The best thing to do is try to

Seat Belts Lower
Traffic Fatalities

The Metropolitan New Or
leans Safety Council is publ
Ching the results of a special
survey of local traffic fatalities,
showing that the majority OF
such deaths could be prevented
by the use of seat belts by dri-
verS and passengers.
Of the 50 traffic deaths in
New Orleans so far this year, q
were pedestrian victims whose
death could not have BEEN pre-
vented by the use of safety
belts. Of the remaining 81 how
ever, more than half occurred
when victims were hurled from
the vehicle at impact.
Mindful of these signlfican'

Comfy A9enA No1e4
By W.. R. SUI LlVAN

During the past ten days the
severe weather has taken its
toll Of livestock ineoilr area and
the nsxf 30 go days will tell
the story as to our profits and
losses with our livestock in this
year. Even though very few cat
tie were lost during the snow
of last week these few days err
tainly weakened our cattle to
the point that extreme care and
management will be of utmost
Importance in getting Our cattle
through the rest of the winter.
1t is necessary that our live
stock, particular grown cows
and yearling calves, get appro-
Ximately two pounds of protein
along with plenty of goo2 roug-
hage up until sufficient grass
puts up in the spring. If we al
low our cows to become in a
run down condition it will GER
tairly effect the percentage of
calf crop in the spring and will
cut in on our profit from our
livestock.
CATTLE WITH LICE -.
Lice on livestock will also
weaken our cattle and will
cause our feed bill to be higher.
Let me urge that you spray
your cattle for lice at this time.
We will certainly have q few
warm days that we can spray
our cattle an rid them of lice
during the next few days. Even
though the temperature may be
rather low if you have a good
sunshiny day I would certainly
go ahead with the lice control
program. Spraying during a
sunshiny day ever though the
temperature is low is not as
bad as cows standing out in the
cold rain throughout most of the
winter. Make a special effort to
get your cattle through the win
ter in as good a shape as pos
Slble.

Time To Request
Conservation HELP

Formers who are interested in
establishing soil and water con-
cervation practices on their
farms under the 1862 Agricul-
tl'ral Conservation Program
should file their requests IS
soon as possible. suggests Lynn
Jordan. chairman of the Holmes
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation County Commit
tee.
Requests to participate in the
program must be filed at the
Agricultural Sterilization arid
Conservation Service county Of
flee in Lexington and the con
eervation practice approved be-
fcrn work is BEGUN.
Under the 1862 program, far
mers may get help averaging a.
bout one-half the cost of carry
mo out such conservation prac-
tees as establishing and i'm
proving vegetative cover of
o~acseS. leoumes. or trees for
soil protection, installing erosion
control structures. and practices
for the conservation or more

The Agricultural Conservation
PROGRAM is designed to en-
courage farmers to protect soil,
water and woodland resources
by sharing the costs of needed
conservation measures.

farmers simply couldn't afford to

Premeasuremenf
Service Now Available
For 1862 Crops

Lynn Jordan. Chairman of the
Holmes horticultural Stabihza!
ton ind Conservation County
Committee. announced today
that requests for premeasure-
ment of 1862 crops will be ac-
cepted at the Holmes ASCS
County Office beginning JAN
uary IS, 1862. Premeasulement
service will be available to cot
ton and rice farmers, corn and
grain sorghum farmers who par
ticipate in the 1862 feed grain
program, and to wheat farmers
who participate in the 1862
wheat sterilization program.
The purpose Of the premea-
surement program is to give
each farm operator an oppor-
tunity to have his land mea-
sured prior to planting time SO
that he will be assured Of plant
ing his full allotment and at
the same time avoid overplant-
ing.
In 1861, nearly 10000 Missis-
sippi farms overplanted their
cotton allotments by approx
mately $4,000 acres.
In Holmes County, Mr.. Jor-
dan said that 373 farms over
planted their 1861 cotton allot-
ment by 974.0 acres This repre-
sents 21.19 per cent Of the
farms and 90 per cent of the
total acres of cotton planted in
the county.
In many cases. Mr.. Jordan
said, farmers did not know the
exact acreage they were plant
ing and therefore, premeasure-
ment service would have elimi-
mated this guesswork.
Under the premeasurement
program, an Asses performance
reporter visits the farm, mea-
sures and stakes the land point
ed out by the farmer prior to
the time the crop is planted. If
the farmer plants within the
staked area, he is then assured
Of panning his full allotment.
Farmers participating in the
1862 feed grain program or
wheat sterilization program may
also have their diverted acreage
measured and staked. Farmers
who take advantage of this SER
vice will be assured of divert
ing enough acreage to insure
full payment under the feed
grain and wheat sterilization
programs.
Requests for premeasurement
service will be accepted at the
Holmes Asses County Office
during the period January Is
through April 20, 1862. At the
time the request for service is
made the farmer will be asked
tc deposit a small fee with the
county committee to help cover
the cost of doing the work. The
service fee varies according to
tie number of acres to be pre-
measured.
For further information con-
corning the ement
program, contact the Holmes
Asses County Office.

how they want to use these re-

Land uses, Of course, do not
have to be exploitive. They can
be in full harmony with public
interest, within the capabilities
Of the land and for a stable
economy. But that won't just
happen! We hear much these
days about multiple uses of our
water and our forests. That is
ali to the good. We must also
think in terms of multiple, har-
monious uses of our other land
resources as well. This viii exist

achieve harmonious multiple
use of all land resources, we
need to apply one in particular,

In this dynamic age, this age

seems to be g nation wild good

10 start making plans for your
1862 year. The livestock out
look seems to be brighter. Price
wise the cotton outlook is the
same as last year and with a
good harvest season and good
growing year cotton producers
should have a good year.
Feed grain will possibly be a
little higher than in the past
three to four years.
Things that farmers buy will
be about the same as 1861.

Two things are necessary for the proper development of natural
resources: technical knowhow and an ample supply of dependable
power. Mississippi is rich in abundant resources forest and
agricultural lands water supply oil, gas, clay, salt, iron
ore. And MP&L is working trelessly to assure the most effective
use of these blessings. Through its skilled development depart
ment, it has made available expert industrial and agricultural
engineers and through a planned program of construction it
has assured its area of ample electricity for today and tomorrow.
Thus, Mississippi moves forward in the development of its
resources with MP&L electricity
