Add Narrow Shelves
Here's an idea to add stor-
age space to your cabinets.
Place a narrow shelf be-
tween shelves spaced 8 to 10
inches apart. Or, if there are
IL or. more inches between
shelves, add 2 narrow ones.
You might also add narrow
shelves between the counter
top ard the upper cabinets.
If two are built, the upper
shelf may be wider than the
lower.

COTTON VARIETIES

Cotton varieties recon-
mended in our area by the
Mississippi Experiment Sta
ton are as follows: DPL
Smoothleaf, Stoneville z,
Stoneville 1902, Fox 4, Au-
burn Sc, Cocker 100 A, DPL
IS, Rex, Empire, Plains, Dixie
King and Delfos 9169.
On land where verticillium
wilt is a problem it is recon-
merded that you plant either
Auburn Sc or Stoneville Z.
On land where fusariun wilt
has been a problem the fol-
lowing varieties are recon-
mended to plant on such
land: Auburn Sc, Empire,
Plains, Dixie King, Coker 100
A and Rex.
Tests from various delta
stations have indicated over
the past few years that DPL
Smoothleaf, Stoneville 1902,
Stoneville 7 and Fox 4 have
been consistently high in lint
per acre and money value in
most tests throughout the
delta area.
| just wanted to mention
varieties of cotton r.eeded in
our area and if you have not
already gotten your seed it
would be well to make ar
rangements to buy whatever
variety you decide to plant.
Let me urge that you get at
least a few hundred pounds
Of breeder seed so that you
will be in a position to save
your own seed this fall. It
is always well to plant a
few sacks of breeder seed
each year SO you will Gu
dowr on cost Of planting seed
the following year.

over end of ear, etc. All Of
the above varieties mention
ed seem to have the desired
character for our area. We
are not saying they will out
produce any other variety Of
corr.
SOYBEAN VARIETIES
The leading soybean varie-
ties recommended for our
area are the Lee as our num-
Der one choice, Hill, Hood,
and Jackson. There are a few
other soybean varieties that
may be planted but the Lee,
Hill and Jackson seem to be
best adapted to our area.
The Lee bean natures a.
bout October 15th-20th. The
Hill variety natures about
September Goth. The Hood
natures about October 5th.
The Jackson natures about
October 28th. These four va
rieties will give you a longer
harvesting season than il
would if you just planted one
of the above mentioned va
rieties.
On a IL year test at the
Delta Branch Experiment Sta
ton the Lee bean has made
from six to eight per cent
higher yields than other va
rieties.
Mr.. E. E. Hartwig, Agron-
omist at the Delta Branch Elk
pertinent Station in Stone
ville,, states soybeans should
not be planted before May
lst and may be planted as
late as July 1st. He states
that soybeans planted from
May l0-May Goth give con-
sistantly higher yields than
bears planted before that
date. Beans planted after
June 18th will normally
make fewer beans than if
planted before June 18th.
We will have more infor-
nation on planting of soy
beans at a later date, but in
plenty of time before plaE.t-
ing.

Cop Leaders Claim Public Works
 Money Need Is Due To Demo Failures

JUNEAU M - Legislative lead- CTS of the Republican minority party said today that the Depart ment of Public Works need for S4 million supplemental appropri- ation is the result of administra- tion failures.
 In joint statement issued fol- lowing possession caucus. Sen ate Minority Leader John Cog hill, R-Nenana), and House Mi nority Leader Bruce Kendall. R- Anchorage), said:
 Tt is apparent from informa- tion released to date that ele- ments in the $4,OO8, ,333 request for Public Works supplemental appropriation for fiscal 1961-62 are the result of administration failures to properly apprise and check its commitments for a va riety of construction and main tenance items involved.
 'The administration is directly responsible for the confusion that has ensued and the 1861 Legisla- ture cannot be held responsible for administration failures that its own staff is just uncovering and bringing to light.
 'The desire for strong state executive, responsible for the cab inet and departments he heads places the responsibility for th
 current confusion squarely at tn 1 feet of the governor"
 The statement added that tn
 1861 Legislature was not caIle upon to act upon the items in volved. and had no knowledg of them.
 At his regular Monday morning news conference, Gov. Vim. Egan first declined comment on the statement, then he said:
 'sIt all goes back to fiscal 1860 when the budget didn't call for enough money to carry on the program. That is where the trouble began"
