Now Is Time
To E%vaIuate
Soil Condition

Now is a good time to eva
luate the condition of your
soil and plan your fertilization
program. This year make sure
your crops receive the proper
amount of nutrients SO that
you are not u~nknowingly
cheating them of needed ele-
ments and thereby stunning
their growth. Your crops are
entitled to the minerals they
need and it is up to you to
give it to them, just as parents
guard the health of their child
rem, supplying them with
needed vitamins.
"A simple soil test is all
that is needed to determine
the level of disable nutrients
in your SOIL" says Paul Far
low, supervisor of the Illinois
Central Railroad soil testing
laboratory. ut will help you
find how much fertility you
have in your soils. If it is
low, it should be replenished.
The soils specialist testing the
soil will give you fertilizer
recommendations for the
crops you plan to grow and
by following his advice you
will be replacing the deficient
elements.
Slowly available nutrients
which are not available now
but will be in the future are
important as well as readily
disable nutrients. Fertilizer re-
commentators based on soil
tests take both forms into con-
sideration.
When the soil on your farm
land is sufficiently dry, take
a sample from each of your
fields, making a list of the
locations by number. Send
them to the soil testing labora-
tory, advising what crops will
be grown in each field. If you
need assistance, contact your
local county agent Or the I'LL
nols Central agricultural
agent in your territory. They
can provide advice and assis-
lance in taking soil samples
and submitting them for test

Corn borer
Moves To State

The southwestern corn borer
is moving out of the southwest
and Mississippi is in its path.
Apparently spreading north
ward from Mexico, entomolo-
gists say it entered Arizona,
New Mexico, and Texas in
1913 and has now moved into
13 states.
Although the corn borer was
not reported in Mississippi I'M
til 1859, it has now been
found in 80 counties in the
northern half of the state and
has become a corn pest of
great economic Importance. 1t
Injuries young corn by tunnel
ing in the stem, and stalks
of mature corn may be weak
ened by girdling activity. In
a joint research project, the
u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the Mississippi Agri-
cultural Experiment Station
seek the best means of stop
ping this borer damage.
One approach to controlling
the pest has been early plant
ing. In a one year test at the
Delta Branch Experiment
Station, Stoneville, corn plant
ed April II had less borer
damage than that planted at
three later dates. Another
study involves a comparison
of borer infestation on Is n.y.
birds. ~Infestation ranged from
SO percent on one hybrid to
80 percent on another.
Spray treatments are also
being investigated. A spray
machine with 7-foot clearance
is necessary to avoid break
ing tall cornstalks in late corn
treatments. Three applications
of endrin and Sewn reduced
infestations, but DOT failed
to give satisfactory results.
The research is being done
by G.. A.. Henderson and R. A.
Blanchard, USDA entomolo-
gists at Mississippi State Uni
versity, assisted by Agrono-
mist Donald Bowman at the
Delta Station. A detailed pro-
gress report on thafr 1861

alarmed, there is neither a
wedding nor a funeral next

get himself together to play
his program for a National
Guild of Piano Teachers Au-
dition. The scrubbing, along
with some extra practicing,
is in the hope of making a
favorable impression on the
adjudicator who comes from
afar.
Guild additions which were
started in Texas in 1929 by
Irl Allison with a handful of
pupils, have grown to national
status with participation by
over $4,000. 1t is a non-profiit
educational organization plan
ned for the sole purpose of
providing motivation to better
piano study and improvement
of teaching. Had there been
a Guild in Truman's boyhood.
the President might have been
able to play something better
than the Missouri Waltz.
The Guild is giving the first
prize of $40, 900 in the worlds
biggest competition, the Van
Cliburn International Piano
Competition which will take
place this fall. Only concert
artists will compete in this.
Van Cliburn himself was a
boy in Guild additions nine
years. The regular annual
spring additions such IS we
have in Lexington are non
competitive and take in all
types of music pupils from
tiny tots to adults. Recently
In some places there are as
many boys as girls playing,
due in some measure to the
Van Cliburn success. also to
! the boys interest in record
lngs of serious music. Today's
boy discusses Bach and Mo-
Fart as naturally as baseball.
Two hundred judges are US
ed each year by the Guild and
they travel away from their
own centers to hear pupils of
others, but return in time to
submit their own students to
the same kind of examination
with others. Thirty-two facets

BY Eve l.. Burwell
EbeneZer, Miss.
The Magnolias :

Have you ever planted a
tree and watched it grow over
the years? If you have, you
have a personal link with the
mystery and faith of life.
There is more to living than
bread and butter of daily rou-
tine. There's a Spirit that or
dams the time of sowing and
reaping. We can lift tired
eyes from the worn path, and
see meaning in the sun and
stars, in the rain, wind, and
all things growing.
Spring is a wonderful and
inspiring time for planting
trees. You have the privilege
of choosing the kind you pre-
fer, and selecting the spot, but
you must remember to give it
the proper food and water.
Year by year as our own life
passes. it is good to watch
the growth of that which we
planted. And one VIII oplants
a tree has faith, and living
without faith is dwelling in
a house built on shifting sands.
Seventy years ago, a young
doctor and his fair young
wife planted two Magnolias
in their front yard, just slend-
er sprouts with a few green
leaves. AS I look out in our
yard today, the trees stand
tall and ever green. A poig-
nant and heart tugging re-
hinder of a time when love
and laughter, work and play
Slgnltled a nome and family
unity.
How we'll I remember, as
children we played under the
trees on dew cooled mornings.
A game of marbles was our
favorite entertainment. Time
passed, and those loved ones
who planted trees have also
passed on, many years ago.
But the trees still stand and
lift patient arms to the sun
and stars in the cool March
breeze. For four generations
they have stood as sentinels
guarding the old house as we
come and go.
Robins have built their
nest in the branches and
