KOHISSO.X An n't Ci'itiilii .-!; nt This year Madison County far mers have several new practices un der the A.C.I'. Program which can and will mean a lot to the rest "ra tion of stands and increased growth of permanent vegetation cover. One of these is practice l'.l, which apnlies to permanent vegetative covur nor mally used for grazing or hay and which may be restored to normal growth or stand by the application of lime and fertilizer as determined by a soil test. Nitrogen, phosphate and potash may be applied as a straight mater ial or in a mixed fertilizer. A. S. C. will allow 4.5c per lb. of available lant food used but can not exceed 11,70 per acre. M lime is needed the edit rate is $3.25 per ton. Two requirements for this practice e: (a) Soil Test and (b) Be in fcrnpliance with acreage alotments. Soil tests are good guides to what you have left in your soil bank. If, t,"for example you put money in the bank, draw some out on checking account, your monthly statement will show what's left on depoit. When minerals are put into the soil bank, the trops write a check for the a mount taken out. Then unless you have a soil test you don't know whjte left in the soil Jew Introduced At Meeting Saturday PRICE: S2.50A YhAK Farm And Home Program Prt -liyterian union wa.i M'led Tuesday In the South, where the proposal was horn IS years a;:i. .A-lifilV IVisbvlwy.

He explained a de mand from this element of people for some enlightenment in their way of life and as a result of this de mand the Morrill Land Grant Col lege Act was passed in 1862. This Act gave Federal aid to each State to set up agricultural and indust rial colleges.

Another demand was made upon the government for some method of bringing the results of new know ledge in agriculture to the farm families. From this demand the Smith-Lever Act was passed in 11)14 giving Federal aid to the States in older to get information and aid to the farmers and rural people. The organization designed to do this job was termed Cooperative Agriculture Extension Service because it com bined the funds and resourses of the Federal government, State and county governments to pass on and diffuse the information of the Land Grant College to the farm people in our country In recent years the demand upon the Extension Service workers, coun ty agents, home agents, and assistant Psion Service, agents for both, has become so great that many people have felt they were (Continued to Last Page) Home is Destroyed Tuesday By Fire On Rector's Corner tti&TE: Tkh in the firt of mm nr7Tltt.

Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Davis and three small children, two sons and one daughter, resided in the house. According to Mr. Davis, the blaze was discovered by one the children who quickly notified Mrs. Davis of the fire. Mrs. Davis was preparing to do her regular washing and was in the yard at the time. Mr. Davis was not' at the home when the fire was discovered. . Before' assistance could be sum moned .the flames had engulfed the house' making it impossible to save any of - the; household furnishings, clothing, etc., Mrs. Davig and child ren' escaped without injury. , VIt Is1, thought that the blaze or iginated at a flue in the 'home.

It' they lose the hams from these hogs they hae lost the best part of their hog car cass1.. There isn't much a farmer ean do to 'help a hog after it is crippled; however, if he has a crippled hog this year more than likely he can prevent having- a hog that goes down in the hind legs next year. We are aware that a growing child needs milk to furnish minerals for strong, sturdy bone development. A hog also needs these same min erals for the development of good bone. This strong bone is necessary to carry the weight of a fat hog. We all know what happens when the strong bone isn't there. If you have had a crippled hog this winter and don't want one next winter, get your pencil out and write this mineral mixture on your calen dar, that is recommended by the ex tension service. Here are two mineral mixtures that will do the job. I would use the first one if I could because there is some danger of getting nails and broken glass in the wood ashes un less they are screened. Finely ground limestone Mix ture No. 1, 10 pounds; Mixture No. eigallon. flteal - Mixture No. 'loflWSs; Wood Ashei Mix- o. , Z gallons; Common salt Mixture No. 1, 10 pounds, Mix ture No. 2, 1 quart. These mixtures should be kept in a dry place where hogs can get to them any time they wish. By using these mineral mixtures with all of our hogs we can expect to have fewer cripples in our litters and with our fattening hogs. We will also have larger littesawhere our bred sows can get to these minerals as they need them. Some commercial mixtures are on the market which are designed for national use. Most of these commer cial .mineral mixtures contain min erals designed to take care of min eral deficiencies in all areas and contain minerals not needed here. They are also packed in small pack ages. Because of this the price per pound is considerably higher than the cost per pound of the mineral mixture recommended by the Exten di! i' 11!.

The siding is mane of shaped aluminum which closely re sembles regular German siding. Cantrell hasn't just made an out ward stah at renovating the house. In addition to numerous improve ments that show, he installed thick sheets of fiberglass insulation be tween the siding and the old boards, so that it is now snug and easy to heat. Assistant Agent Robinson says that the house has been improved as much as the farm. Cantrell is no exception either. A LSO REMODELLED O. G. Ramsey of the Halewood Road section recently remodelled his home, adding one room and put ting on siding. His house was "old fashioned" like Cantrell's. James Briggs of the Panhandle section, Will Cook of the Shutin. settion, and Hilliard Teague of the Hayes Run section, have also made many changes in their homes, rang ing from complete renovation and the installation of "modern bath rooms, to one room remodeling. i At present, three farm families have already made definite plans to build new homes during the com ing year. There's no way of knowing how many other new homes will be constructed in 1955. But one thing's for sure. The time whin the farmer's barn is a nicer budding than his- home is aho.it gone. If you don't believe it, just take a ride into the country some time and notice the many new farm homes, o r freshly-painted, proud looking old houses. a i ... pfi t lind another slaca in which t live.

This is , an increase of ap proximately CD percent over last year," he st L It sounds paradoxical when Zeno Ponder of Madison County says: "I can't afford to feed my alfolfa to my beef cattle." But according to County Agent Harry G. Silver, the reason is quite simple. Ponder can get around $50 per ton for his second and third cutting al falfa hay, while his cattle will get along very well on cheaper silage which he also produces on the farm. Harry Baldwin Is Painfully Cut At School Here Monday LUCKY ESCAPE Chappell, Neb. Driving across the railroad tracks, the automobile of Ed Wolf, 78-year-old farmer hit the third car of a westbound stream liner. The car was slammed partial ly around, still on the tracks. Help- Harry Baldwin, Marshall High School junior, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Baldwin of Marshall RFD 1, re ceived a severe leg wound Monday morning at the Marshall school when he accidentally dropped his pocket knife. According to witnesses, Harry was showing his knife to another student who handed it back to him. In do ing so, the knife slipped from Har ry's hand and when he attempted to "catch" it in his lap, the blade stuck into his left leg, puncturing one of the main arteries. Coach Bradburn ed out of the damaged car, Wolf was walking away from the scene called and rendered first -id when an eastbound freight train whjch perhaps saved Harry's life.
