cen be determined, the pay
ment rates for shorn wool

Worms In Oats


Keep a close watch for
worms in your oats that you
are planning on saving for
seed. We are finding a few Of
these worms in oat fields
over the county at this time
but have not found enough
to justify poisoning for. II
YOU have rank oats it would
be advisable to go into the
field and shake the oaI stalk,
spread the oats back and see
how many worms you can
count per square foot on the
ground. If there are 4 to 5
worms per square foot they
are in large enough number
to justify poisoning for. Be
sure and check your fields
every few days particularly
in areas where you see black
birds feeding.
Cotton -
By the time you read this
most farmers would have
planted most of their cotton
crop and some will be up to
a good stand. If you are going
to poison cotton for thrip,
the time to do the job is as
soon as you have a stand of
cotton. Don't wait until you
see the thrip damage.
Last year, 1861, thrlp

true that thrip do not bother
us each year as severely as
they did last year. But | be-
lieve it is advisable to spray
your cotton for thrip as soon
as you have a stand of cot

There are a number of in
secticides that can be used to
control thrip such as:
Dieldren | gallon of
dieldren mixed in enough
water to cover "a acres.
2. Endrin = l gallon of en-

3. Toxaphene - l gallon

bination of DOT and toXa-
phene = l gallon of the mix
ture mixed with enough wat

mind that the dosage of toxa-

swelling on the branches or
stems, which at this season
exhibit grange or yellow pow
der or dust.
The disease, which S
caused by a fungus, Cronar-
tium, is commonly known as
rust. The orange or yellow
powder-like material is one
of the spore stages of tn
disease.
The effects of this fungus
causes abnormal development
of the cells and usually re-
sults in the death of the
branch on which it is located.
When the disease is located
on the main stem of smaller
trees it is usually fatal. Lar
ger trees, if not killed out
right, are often so weakened
that they are subject to wind
throw.
There is no known effec-
tive chemical or fungicidal
control for this disease. If
he infection is located near
he main stem on a branch,
it is recommended that the
branch be removed from the
tree.
This disease does not spread
from pine to pine. The spores
that are so evident at this
time infect the leaves of oaks.
Subsequently, spores are pro-
duced from the infection on
the oak leaves which carry
the disease back to the pines.
The oaks apparently do not
suffer important i'll effects
from the disease.
Shortleaf pine, Mr.. Frizell
continued, is practically inn
mune to this infection. While
it is attacked by another fun
gus similar to fusiform, this
disease is not so prevalent as
is Cronarium fusiforme.
Mr.. Frizell said that owners
of commercial stands of pine
should remove the infected
trees in their thinning or
harvesting operations.

labor Employment
Shows Increase In
Holmes County

A survey of Holmes Coun-
tvs civilian labor employ
ment for April shows an IN
crease of 80 persons over the
month of March.
The total labor force for the
county is estimated to be
$3.50 at present, a decrease OF
$50 for the same period last
year. Total manufacturing
employment is the same as
the preceding month and
shows an increase of ITO per-
sons over the same period
one year ago.
Employment Trends
Total employment shows an
increase of 80 persons over
the preceding month, and an
increase of $50 persons over
the same period one year a
| 60. The large increase over
the same period one year ago
is due to the slight recession
which prevailed during the
year, 1861, in this area. Non
agricultural wage and sala-
ried workers show 80 persons
increase over the percedlng
month and $50 persons over
the same period one year a
go.
Unemployment
Ii is estimated that $40 per-
sons were unemployed dur
ing March, 1862, which repre-
sents 81 per cent of the total
civilian labor force. This per-
centage still remains the ap-
proximate national rate.) This
compared with So per cent
for the preceding month and
11.6 per cent for one year
ago. The high rate of unem-
ployment one year ago was
due to the above normal un-
employment because of slight
recession mentioned above.

Fertilize Grass Pastures -
Between now and May 10
is the best time of year to
nitrate your grass pastures.
Apply from 1880 units of nj
trate per acre on pastures
predominately in grass. By
doing this the later part Of
April or early May, while the
moisture is in the soil, each
acre fortified will give you
more grazing than 8 acres un-
fertilized.
On pastures that are pre-
dominately clovers, White

phate and potash should be
applied TO those at the rate
of 60 units per acre.
Garden Insects -
Keep a close watch III your

They undoubtedly will be
damaging most of your veg
etables in a short time. Mala-

do a good job for controlling

kCP Helps Build
2,262 Ponds

A total of 1882 ponds for
livestock and for erosion con-
troll purposes was construct
ed in Mississippi under the
1861 Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program (ACP) accord
ing to o. E. Bostick of Gold
en-, Chairman of the Missis-
sippi Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation State
Committee. Mr.. Bostick stat
ed that 1920 such ponds
have been constructed in the
State by use of ACP cost
sharing assistance since 1910,
when the practice was first
included in the program.
Ponds were constructed in
1861 in II of the 81 counties.
Of the five counties not US
ing the practice, four are in
the Delta area and one near
the Gulf Coast where the
need for ponds is not as great
as in other areas of the State.
For the second year IN a
row, Scott County led all 9TH
er counties in the State in
the number of ponds con-
struced with 81 ponds in 1861,
Madison County, the second
highest had 80 ponds and
Simpson County had 70.
In Holmes County, a total
of IS ponds was constructed
under the 1861 program. Will
P. McWilliams, Jr., Holmes
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Service County
Office Manager, reports that
a total of 2,557 ponds ha.
been constructed under the
ACP in Holmes County since
1910.
In travelling over MISSISSIPPI
pi, one can notice a most i'm
pressive sight in the large
number of farm ponds. These
ponds have made possible a
livestock enterprise on a mum
Der of farms. This in turn has
resulted in sloping, eroded
land being retired from row

these ponds in pasture land
has also enabled many far
