What is the greatest reason
why high school girls drop
out of school in Mississippi?
The answer is early marriage.
Will the future be bright
for these early marriages.
Not as good as it could be if
the girls finished high school
or went on for further
schooling or training.
Divorce is a bigger problem
for those who do not com
plete high school. So are low
incomes and unemployment.
Then, too, some studies point
out that those with less edu-
cation have lower levels of
living.
The Bureau of Labor pre-
diets that girls in high school
today will work outside the
home at least 81 years, even
with marriage and children.
Those who marry before they
finish high school will not
be able to get as good jobs
as those who graduate.

Winter Grazing =

Winter grazing is not a re-
commended practice for win
tering brood cows. But it is
certainly a recommended
practice if you have calves
too light to sell at this time
of year. Any calves weighing
300 pounds or more should
be sold as soon as possible.
Calves weighing under 300
pounds should be held over
and put on winter grazing
and sold next spring.
Plant about "a of an acre
for each calf for your winter
grazing program. Combina-
tions of oats and rye grass OF
combinations of wheat and
rye grass will give you the
best grazing program through
out the winter.
If you plant your winter
grazing after October 1st it
would be advisable to use a
combination of wheat and
rye grass as wheat will stand
colder weather during the
winter and will continue to
grow during cool spell where
oats will not grow much af-
ter December 1st.
Before planting fertilize
your fields with so units of
nitrogen and 60 units of phos-
phate. Plant 3 to 4 bushels
of oats per acre and Is lbs
of rye grass, OF you may
plant 100 pounds of wheat
plus IS pounds rye grass. Al
low your winter grazing crop
to get about 6 inches high
before you start to Craze.
At planting time be sure
to drill or broadcast your
seed and cover deep enough
that the seed will not be eat
en- by the birds and also to
insure the root system of be-
ing deep enough to be pro-
tected from early cold Wea-
Their. Seed should be covered
from "a to y inch deep.

AS a safeguard, heavy steel

tor makes a lunge or two at an
| other tree, the fallen tree rolls
harmlessly to the ground.
AS soon as the clearing tractor
opens up an area, three other
units string out abreast to tackle
sections as big as 2 by 4-1/2
miles. They gather the rubble
| into huge mounds for burning.
The stacks of trees and brush
are allowed to dry a week or two
and then doused with fuel oil and
set anre.
When the piles are reduced to
charcoal, a wheel tractor moves
in to disc the seeded. Twigs,
bark and other small pieces of
vegetation are chopped fine and
worked into the soil. Then the

be harvested the first year-the

Cotton
By w. R. SULLIVAN
COUNTY AGENT

Cotton -
This will be the last news
article pertaining to cotton
for this season. At this writ
ing it appears that most cot
ton fields have cut out suf-
ficiently to stop poisoning of
cotton. However, there are a
few exceptions in the delta
area that will justify another
application of an insecticide
this week to control both boil
weevils and bollworms.
Where your cotton is still
green, putting 6. on new
squares and blooming you
certainly have enough young
bolls that need protecting to
more than pay for the cost
of your insecticide.
Cotton that has not been
poisoned in the last ten days
should be defoliated as soon
as possible provided you can
pick the fields that are de-
foliated within the next 10 to
Is days. Do not defoliate any
more cotton each week than
you can pick in the next 6
or 7 days after leaves have
shed off.
If your cotton is defoliated
too far ahead of picking and
we should happen to get
enough rain to put sufficient
moisture in the soil you
would more than likely have
new growth of leaves that
would be harmful in harvest
ing your cotton.
Where cotton is matured
out thoroughly, cyanimide at
the rate of Is to 80 pounds
per acre is giving good re-
suits of taking off practically
all leaves. Fields having
young, tender leaves you
would possibly get a better
defoliation job with DEF or
Folex dust or spray.
In rather rank cotton. if
spraying. you more than like
" need to make 2 applica-
tions in order to remove all
the leaves.
