BOSTICKS PURCHASE METAL STORAGE BINS THROUGH ASC, USING AN FSF<br />
LOAN<br />
Mrs. Mary Bostick, Misses Bernice and Lillian, have recently had two 1,000 bushel capacity steel<br />
bins erected on <strong>the</strong>ir farm located 5 miles south <strong>of</strong> Iuka on R-1. The bins were purchased through<br />
<strong>the</strong> ASC program, using a farm storage facility loan. The Bosticks will use <strong>the</strong>se to store<br />
soybeans and later receive a Commodity Credit Corporation loan on <strong>the</strong> beans at $2.06 per bushel<br />
which is <strong>the</strong> loan price. All farmers in <strong>Tishomingo</strong> <strong>County</strong> are eligible for this type <strong>of</strong> service<br />
under <strong>the</strong> ASC program. Fur<strong>the</strong>r information can be obtained from <strong>the</strong> county ASC <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
W. J. Brinkley, Iuka, has a 2,400 bushel capacity bin and a 1,000 bushel capacity bin <strong>of</strong> this type<br />
on his farm for storing corn. Morrel Hatcher, Burnsville, and E. F. Fancher, Belmont, R-1, have<br />
one 1,000 bushel capacity bin each. These at present are being used for <strong>the</strong> storing <strong>of</strong> ear corn.<br />
The 1,000 bushel capacity bins, including aeration, cost $529.00 each. Mrs. Bostick through <strong>the</strong><br />
ASC program paid only 20 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cost plus freight and installation costs. The remaining<br />
amount was furnished by <strong>the</strong> Farm Storage Facility Loan program to be paid in four installments<br />
(1 payment a year) at a low rate <strong>of</strong> 4 per cent interest which makes it easy for a farmer to buy and<br />
install one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se bins on his farm.<br />
“If we could get more farmers in <strong>Tishomingo</strong> <strong>County</strong> to purchase <strong>the</strong>se bins and store corn and<br />
soybeans when <strong>the</strong> price is low in <strong>the</strong> fall and hold <strong>the</strong>se commodities until <strong>the</strong> following spring<br />
when prices advance, farmers could realize more cash money in growing <strong>the</strong>se crops,” stated<br />
E. N. Allen, <strong>of</strong>fice manager <strong>of</strong> ASC.<br />

Fields are rapidly changing from green to brown. Fanned by dry autumn winds, this great<br />
accumulation <strong>of</strong> dead vegetation will become a vast tender box, ready to burst into flames at any<br />
moment . . . Cooperation between landowners, plus an assortment <strong>of</strong> simple fire fighting tools on<br />
every farm, could mean <strong>the</strong> difference between fire blackened ruin and healthy, incomeproducing<br />
forests . . . All farms have tools which can be used in fighting woods fires. O<strong>the</strong>r tools<br />
can be purchased for little expense or made from discarded materials. The primary hand tools are<br />
rakes, axes, bush hooks, flaps, shovels and portable water tanks. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most effective<br />
weapons for fighting fire is an ordinary farm tractor fitted with a heavy disc harrow. Adequate<br />
fire breaks can be easily plowed with this equipment. All tools should be kept in good repair and<br />
stored in an accessible place . . . Neighbors should cooperate with one ano<strong>the</strong>r in controlling<br />
woods fires. Properly organized, a few landowners become an effective fire control unit. A<br />
general meeting, to adopt a plan <strong>of</strong> action, is <strong>the</strong> first step in organizing fire protection in a<br />
community. Advice and assistance to local fire control groups are <strong>of</strong>fered by state forestry<br />
representatives, and county agents . . . Too <strong>of</strong>ten small fires become costly merely because <strong>of</strong><br />
inaction or delay in <strong>the</strong> early stages. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first things a landowner should do when fire<br />
occurs is to call one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many trained suppression agencies standing by for just such an<br />
emergency . . . Listed below are <strong>the</strong> names, telephone numbers and addresses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fire control<br />
agencies protecting this county. Know <strong>the</strong> name and number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se groups. If you can’t<br />
remember, clip this information from <strong>the</strong> paper and paste it in a conspicuous place near your<br />
telephone. Call <strong>the</strong>se numbers if you see a woods fire: Collins M. Akin, Iuka 6182; Glen Tower,<br />
Corinth 3259; Woodall Mountain Tower, Iuka 5231; Dennis Tower, Belmont 3802; Clifton<br />
Rhodes, Iuka 3121; Hiwassee Land Co., Iuka 6186; and J. L. Hopkins, Belmont 3804.<br />

If you like a good picture show <strong>the</strong>n we suggest you see “The Ten Commandments” that will be<br />
showing at <strong>the</strong> Belmont Theatre for a whole week including Sunday, beginning on Friday <strong>of</strong> this<br />
week. This picture very accurately tells <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> Moses and <strong>the</strong> Israelites; <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir bondage in<br />
Egypt and <strong>the</strong>ir journey in search <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Promised Land. The scene <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hordes crossing <strong>the</strong><br />
Red Sea is a fete <strong>of</strong> photography that will hold you spellbound . . . The trials and tribulations, <strong>the</strong><br />
problems and passions <strong>of</strong> a nation <strong>of</strong> people in slavery is forcefully told in color by a cast <strong>of</strong><br />
players that are <strong>the</strong> pick <strong>of</strong> Hollywood . . . If you like stories <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bible and Biblical history <strong>the</strong>n<br />
you will want to see this religious film that is strongly endorsed by Cardinals and Bishops,<br />
ministers, rabbis and priests <strong>of</strong> every major denomination in <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

THIS WEEK—IN WASHINGTON WITH CLINTON DAVIDSON<br />
Farm Prosperity<br />
The <strong>of</strong>ficial “farm story” now being distributed from Washington could convince many city<br />
people and Congress that all farmers are rolling in unprecedented prosperity and wealth.<br />
That would be a serious mistake. There is danger that some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> more recent favorable farm<br />
news will be so over-emphasized as to obscure <strong>the</strong> still serious difficulties which farmers face.<br />
The farm news, generally, is indisputably good. Good wea<strong>the</strong>r and careful planning have enabled<br />
farmers to produce bumper crops this year. The total is a new record high, 10 per cent above any<br />
previous year.<br />
The average <strong>of</strong> prices, received by farmers has been rising faster than farm costs for almost two<br />
years. Beef cattle and hog prices have been especially favorable to mixed blessing; that <strong>the</strong> result<br />
is an increase in our already burdensome surplus. There is every indication that farm surpluses<br />
will continue to be a serious national problem.<br />
While per capita farm income is up, total farm income is 25 percent below 1952--$12 billion<br />
compared with $16 billion. The difference is explained by <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong>re are fewer farmers.<br />
Purchasing Power Down<br />
Although income measured in dollars is up, because <strong>of</strong> inflation farmers can buy less with 1958<br />
income than <strong>the</strong>y could with much smaller income in 1940. it is what you can buy with <strong>the</strong><br />
dollars you have, not <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> dollars, that counts.<br />
Farmers now own an estimated $188 billion worth <strong>of</strong> real estate and o<strong>the</strong>r property, against which<br />
<strong>the</strong>y have mortgages totaling $11 billion. That, too, is largely a result <strong>of</strong> inflation ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />
increased wealth.<br />
Farm ownership is at a record high, and that is good. Two out <strong>of</strong> every three farmers are<br />
completely free <strong>of</strong> mortgage debt. The standard <strong>of</strong> living on farms, Mr. Benson emphasizes, is<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest in history.<br />
Farm people own more appliances, radios, televisions, automobiles and o<strong>the</strong>r conveniences than<br />
ever before. The average, however, still is well below that <strong>of</strong> city people.<br />
Washington may be guilty <strong>of</strong> being over anxious to paint too bright a farm picture. Fairness<br />
requires that emphasis be placed on complete accuracy ra<strong>the</strong>r than on “making <strong>the</strong> record look<br />
good.”

TREE SEEDLINGS AVAILABLE TO LANDOWNERS<br />
Area Forester Collins M. Akin reports that <strong>the</strong> deadline previously set by <strong>the</strong> Mississippi Forestry<br />
Commission for <strong>the</strong> acceptance <strong>of</strong> applications for forest tree seedlings has passed and announces<br />
that some seedlings are still available. He said that <strong>the</strong> Commission will continue to accept<br />
orders until <strong>the</strong> remaining seedling supply is exhausted and urges those desiring seedlings to<br />
submit <strong>the</strong>ir application as soon as possible.<br />
Akin says that seedling applications may be taken by <strong>the</strong> county representative <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
agricultural agencies. These include Mississippi Forestry Commission Area Forester, ASC<br />
Office Managers, Soil Conservation Service Technicians, and members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>County</strong> agent’s<br />
staff. He said that seedling prices remain <strong>the</strong> same with all species selling for $4.50 a thousand<br />
on available species, which are slash, loblolly, shortleaf, and longleaf pines and black locust.<br />
Each landowner is eligible to receive one thousand (1,000) free seedlings. There is a charge <strong>of</strong><br />
thirty-five cents (35 cents) per thousand on all seedlings, however, for transportation to <strong>the</strong><br />
county in which <strong>the</strong> seedlings are to be planted.<br />

PLANTING SHRUBS<br />
November is <strong>the</strong> month to plant shrubs. As you plants those shrubs planned to go<br />
beneath a window, group three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m to form a triangle. This gives a more natural<br />
effect than three in a row. It also gives more room for <strong>the</strong> center shrub to grow an<br />
develop properly.<br />

TRY THIS WITH EDAM CHEESE<br />
Hollow out an Edam cheese, leaving a rim one-fourth inch thick. Crumble <strong>the</strong> removed<br />
part. Pour some cream over it and let it s<strong>of</strong>ten. Then whip until fluffy. If desired, stir in<br />
coarsely chopped pecans. Refill <strong>the</strong> cheese shell and let <strong>the</strong> guests help <strong>the</strong>mselves. This<br />
is excellent atop warm apple, mince or pumpkin pie.<br />

Thadious C. Ables Farm Pond<br />
For years farm ponds have been constructed, or dug, on SCD Co-operators farms in<br />
<strong>Tishomingo</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
For years <strong>the</strong> Soil Conservation personnel has assisted in <strong>the</strong> establishing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se ponds.<br />
What is it about Mr. Ables’ farm pond that makes it news It is not <strong>the</strong> pond itself but<br />
<strong>the</strong> uses Mr. Ables has planned for it that makes <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> this pond news.<br />
First <strong>of</strong> all Mr. Thadious C. Ables, who lives four miles west <strong>of</strong> Dennis, wanted a pond to<br />
furnish water for his livestock. Second he wants to stock it with fish. Third he wants to<br />
irrigate his garden. Fourth Mr. Ables will use it for swimming and fifth in case <strong>of</strong> fire he<br />
can pump water from this pond to spray on his dwelling or farm buildings.<br />
There you have five uses for one farm pond. Let’s list <strong>the</strong>m again: 1. Water for<br />
livestock; 2. Fish; 3. Irrigate garden; 4. Swimming, and 5. Fire protection.<br />
Mr. Ables is to be congratulated on this fine project.
