WHITE DUTCH CLOVER
Oscar Jones, of Deadwood Commun-
ity. showed us a pasture "Hh plenty
of White Dutch Clover In It the
other day. By this time of the year
the clover has almost all ions to
seed. However, the used heads are
■till standing, and the cattle grasing
will help scatter this seed over the
rest of the pasture. In looking at
the clover we aim found plenty of
Bor Clover seed-hum.
White Dutch is one of the best
late fall and early spring grasing
plants a farmer can add to his pas-
ture. It Is high In protein, and It pro-
vides grasing when there Is nothing
else.
HVBRIO CORN AND CUMMER
LEaUMEC
Mr. Jones also showed us some fine
stands of hybrid corn, many having
three and four earn to the stalk, and
having been planted closer together
than usual. The best thing about all
this com Is the fine row of summer
peas In the middles, and the velvet
beans growing In the row with the
corn. Both the peas and the beans

CHICKEN WORMS
CAUSE LOSSES
worms before they are placed la the
laying house. This one practice would
enable many poultry men to realise s
profit from a flock of chickens in-
stead of n loss.
Tong chickens between the ages of
8 and 14 or l« weeks of age are us-
ually more seriously affected with
worms than are mature birds. The
growing stock infested with worms
have a generally unthrifty appear-
ance. The comb and wnttlee lose their
color, the shanks often have n light,
pale, shrivelled appearance, and the
birds appear doll, llstlesd and sleepy.
One of the beat and safest ways of
telling whether or not n flock of pal-
lets Is infested with worms Is to

CATTAIL MILLET
A few weeks ago we mentioned
that W. V. McCracken, of DeBerry,
had n fine stand of cattail millet. We
also found an excellent stand of the
same millet on Mr. Jones farm, and
he says he has been growings It for
several years. Possibly this millet
can be added to the list of grains and
grain sorghums which Panola county
farmers esn grow for feed.
KUDZU
In spite of tbe dry weather, there
are many fine stands of KUDKU
around the county. However, It we
want them to really put out, how
about getting out and cutting the
weeks and grass around the crowns
and giving them a chance?

that the soldiers will be back very

tbe flow of the water te slowed np
by the grass to such an extent that
the soil has more time to absorb the

When weeds and pine brush are
allowed to grow wild, however, the
grass down't have much chance.
.There te too much competition from
the pines, resin weeds, and many
other weeds. Naturally, when the
grass goes out and the weeds take
over, there Is no cover on the ground
and erosion begins to take Us toll.
The purpose of mowing tbe pasture
la to keep this from happening.
Strange as It may seem, pine brush
can be controlled by mowing, that Is.

real pest in this part of the country,
can be readily controlled by regular
mowing. It te necessary to now reg
ularly each year in order to keep
down weeds.
Pasture mowing also can help you
make nitrogen available for
the nest crop. And the green growth
of the :egnme tamed under helps
make the soil absorb more of the
niufal!

Panola County Has
Good Potato Crop
Farmers of Panola County and ad-
joining districts shipped a total of
25 carl4>ads of Irish potatoes, as a
final tally on shipping revealed.
This figure slightly exceeded the or-
iginal estimates of the Panola Coun-
ty War Board, based on tho figures
of those termers who planned to
plant potatoes this past spring when
they signed their farm plan sheets.
From all indications, the termers
have been well pleased with the Irsh
pototo deal, and they are ready and
willing to help Uncle Sam again next
year with an even bigger and better
crop If he wants it.
