VISIT HIGHLANDS
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hudson of
White Plains, N. Y.,were guests, at

Hudson is the son of Mrs. Ella

60 years a'go, the ; story of which is
told by Mrs. Mary Chapin Smith in
a 12-page booklet, "The History of
the Hudson Library Association,"
printed in . October 1931.
After Mrs. Hudson's death, her
friends in the north sent the first
books to Jier sister, Mrs. Wells,
who lived lit Shortoff at the time,
and in presenting them to. High
lands for a free library, Mrs. Wells
asked that it, be called Hudson Li
brary in memory of her sister.
This was Mr. Hudson's first visit
here in 55 years. He' was very-much
pleased with what the present li
brary has grown to be from its
humble beginning in the old cup
board, with its six shelves, still in
use at the school lunch room. Mr.
Hudson left a very generous gift
with the assistant librarian, Miss
Dorothea Harbison, "to buy some
thing for the library that, it would
not otherwise have." .

and the developments of the past 10
years, with special emphasis on the
four hard surfaced highways which
make Highlands a most accessible
summer resort. Mr. King urged the
group to stay over for the night so

MISS FARNSWJDRTH QUEEN

worth, of Memphis, Tenn., 22-year-old

The Cotton Carnival is to Mem

lished qualifications of popularity,

Country Club, and graduates from

Temporary Grazing
Is Used By Dairymen
.Planting of soybeans, sudan grass,
lespedeza and sweet clover for sum
mer and fall grazing should be in
progress now and may be continued
until mid-summer, advises. John A.
Arey, dairy specialist of the State
college extension service, who says
grazing of cultivated crops is an
ideal way for dairymen to - lower
the production cost of milk. .
This practice is especially valu
able in areas where the soil is
sandy,- because in regions with
clay soil the cows pack the ground
when it is wet and it is hard to
break for corn and other crops, to
follow, Arey explained.
Biloxi soybeans planted this
month in rows about 24 inches
apart and fertilized with about 3(X)
to 400 pounds of a 3-8-6 fertilizer
will provide abundant nutritious
grazing by June, the specialist said.
This variety of beans can be graz
ed three or four times during the
summer at intervals of about 15
days if all the leaves are sot re
moved at any one time. The cows
should be alternated between pas
tures to prevent too close grazing.
Sudan grass1 should be seeded at
the rate of 30 pounds per acre on
good land and fertilizer with 400
pounds of a high grade complete
fertilizer. It will furnish excellent
grazing within about six weeks aft
er seeding. Sudan grass is drought
resistant and therefore will prove
valuable in supplementing perma
nent pasture during the hot, dry
period of July and August.
Lespedeza should have been sown
on small grain in . February or
March. The Korean variety is one
of the best for grazing. Sweet clov
er is not as palatable as lespedeza,
but it will produce more grazing
per acre than any of the crops
previously mentioned. For the most
part, soils in this state should be
limited before .sweet clover is
planted.
CORN
Only about , 9 per 1 cent of the
American corn crop, usually run
ning from 2l2 to 3 billion bushels,
is used in the industrial field. One
half enters the food market and
one-fourth goes back to- the farm
in the form of feed.
