Most of our cattle are sold

Ellison, owner and operator
of the Lexington Sale Barn,
is interested in every livestock
producer receiving top money
for every head going through
his barn. He is helping pro-
ducers increase quality of
livestock in order that they
will receive top price for live
stock.
There is only one 4conomi-
cal way to improve quality
of cattle : that is by using
good quality bulls. The bull
is the most important animal
On the farm. He is one half
of every calf that is dropped.
The bull can go along way to-
ward determining whether
you sell $50 or $50 calves or
whether you sell S1OO calves.
In order to increase quality
in your herd it is necessary
to save replacement heifers
each year. Good bulls are
essential to the livestock pro-
Queer.
Along with improved pas
lures, good bulls and quality
females, with the proper
management, livestock is our
top enterprise, and will help
pay your debts when row

William H. Smith Was First
To Organize State Corn Club

acre plots. In October he en-
Enthusiastically reported that
some patches showed a yield
of as high as 12O bushels per
acre.
Late that month 80 boys ex-
hibited corn at a fair in Lex
ingtOn, while girls displayed
the products of needle and
oven. Local merchants pro-
vided ribbons and prize mon
ey.
It's importance from the
standpoint of history lies in
the fact that Seaman A.
Knapp's men representing
the United States Department
of Agriculture were en- hand
to nurture it. Mississippi Elk
pioneers stated that Mr.. Knapp
also attended the show.
"By the time Smiths new
club was underway IN Missis-
slppi, Knapp was receptive to
the idea of working with
boys. Smiths club, therefore.
happened to be the seed that
was to grow into a south wide
system of Federal State Col
lege cooperation in the deve-
lopment of boys and girls
club work.
Shortly after Smiths first
show Knapp took a significant
step. On December IL, 1907, he
appointed William Hall Smith
a collaboration of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture at a salary of S1.OO per
year. The appointment car
rled with it the franking privi-
lege, which permitted the
school superintendent to mail
out circulars and instructions
postage free. Thus, Smith be-
came the first man to be
federally named to do club
work with rural Boys and
girls.
I'm January 1908 after the
first successful year, there
was a meeting in Durant OF
a committee consisting of the
State Commissioner of Agri.
culture, H. e. Blakeslee; Pro.
fessor E. R. Lloyd, Director OF
the Experiment Station, Mis-.
sissippi A. & M. College; Me
harg, representing Knapp; j.
N. Powers, State Superinten.
dent of Education and Smith
This committee laid plans for
spreading the clubs to other
counties and issued a circular
called Mississippi School
Boys Experiment Club : Sug.
geStionS and Work.
"The profit was far from the
only incentive. This is shown
in the purposes of club work
! as expressed by William Hal,
Holmes County herald., 1962-03-08
BY Frank

1T was in Mississippi that
the Federal Government first
look a hand in sponsoring and
directing club work. The first
man to organize a corn club
in Mississippi was William
Hall Smith, superintendent Of
schools in Holmes County.
William Hall Smith called
a meeting of voluntary corn
growers and their teachers in
the Court House in the county
seat of Lexington late in Feb
ruary, 1907.
"t1e wanted a system of
school that would not lose
their hold on the boy when
he reached the age of IA. This
could be done, he felt, if the
school work were more closely
tied with the farm. Mr.. Smith
wanted more prosperous and
effective schools and the way
to get them, he felt, was to
interest the farmers in the
schools. He proposed to do this
with a corn contest for the
DoyS and needle work, bread
making and cake baking for
the girls. He knew that low
income farms could hardly
support a good school system.
1T has been demonstrated that
our soil is capable Of produc-
ing 100 bushels of corn to the
acre, yet our average pro-
auction is less than 20 bushels
per acre. We have the best
pasture and corn lands but
we are bringing our meat and
1orn from the west stated
Mr. Smith. J
The tall, genial, nard think

to combat this condition in hs
own locality by encouraging

and the government at that
time were making an assault
on the one crop store credit
system of farming. At that
first meeting in Lexington,
Smith had Professor Perkins

LONDON, Feb. IA (AP). -
The Christopher Column b u S
charter, which was to have
been auctioned at Christie's
March 6, has been withdrawn
from sale at the owners re-
quest, Christie's announced last
night, The owners decision was
not explained.
The charter, granted to Co.
lumbus by the Catholic mon
archs on his return from dis
covering America, had been put
up for sale anonymously. 1t was
dated April Is, 1893.
Authenticity of the document
was questioned last month by
Jose Maria de la Pena, director
of the Archives of the Indies
in Sevilla, Spain, where many
Columbus relics are kept. He
claimed the real charter was at
Sevilla and the London doc
ument was not genuine.
Christie's countered that they
had submitted the charter to
British experts who were agreed
it was authentic.
