: -Pep Meeting
; . , By ANNE FELTON
A pep meeting was held Thursday
night and only about 80 girls attend
ed. ; Maybe it was the-' yelling that
helped let the team know that we
.were back of them, and maybe it was
not, but we would like to have more
people to. attend these pep meetings.
A! pep meeting -is held the night be
fore a football- game, at 7:30. We
assemble in front of the courthouse.
' ' fWe will not have a pep meeting
this Wednesday night because every
" body has to go to the show, but we
want everybody to go to the game
Thursday and do enough yelling so
that we can make up for what we
didn't do -Wednesday night.

POOR CROPS ON POOR LAND
MAY BE ROAD TO POORHOUSE
Planting poor crops continuously
on poor land may eventually lead to
the poorhouse, according to Soil
Conservation Service men. Soils sub
jected to continuous cropping of corn,
cotton, tobacco and other clean culti
vated crops are impoverished by ero
sion, become thin from the stand
point of fertile topBoil, and often are
unable .to produce a profitable yield.
When this happens, farmers are apt
to try the next best thing.
They choose a less desirable crop
and try to make at least something
off the land. Usually this is the first
step in a downward cycle. Usually it
is not long before the impoverished
soil fails to produce anything.
That's when farm lands are aban
doned and when soil erosion is allow
ed to complete the ruin. The reme
dy for excessive cropping is to retire
the badly eroding areas to grass be
fore the damage has gone too far.
