Tradewater Soil News Wildlife Planting Stock Has All Been Distributed By M. A. BARNES Soil Conservation Service J. B. McClain of the State Fish and Game department tells us that about all the wildlife planting stock that they have this year has been distributed and planted by the farmers.
There are still some calls coming for it with no plants to supply them. This material was more plentiful this year than it has been for the past several years, and the fact that it is all gone is indicative that the people are becoming more conscious of the need for the birds to control the insects of the fields so that we can grow crops. As we clear the land and destroy their natural food and cover we must plant something to take its place or lose the birds and the good they do us in eating the insects.

INQUIRING REPORTER THE QUESTION: Nicknames, such as "Teddy" and "F.D.R." have been used to identify many of our past presidents, and the name "Ike" has already been attached to our present commander-in-chief. Do you think the American People are too informal in the manner in which they speak of the President of the United States? ows are both planning to do some ditching with dynamite within the next few days.
This is a very economical way of making a ditch, and if you are interested in seeing this done, let us know and we will notify you when it is to be done. Some places that are too wet for machinery can best be ditched with dynamite, and if you have some of this land, it would pay you to see it. Wendall Cartwright was telling us that he has already planted some more sericea. He said the planted two years ago is making good growth on land that "wouldn't sprout any other He says he means to plant some each year until he has a big part of the farm in it. He also has some kudzu that he says grew vines thirty feet long last year even with the dry weather.
He should have good ground coverage this year. residents of Mount Vernon, Kentucky, in Rockcastle County. Prior to hospitalization, French was a farmer, having been trained under the G.I. Bill. The hospital staff joined with the American Legion Auxiliary in offering congratulation to French on his achievements in rehabilitation.
They commended him on making such a fine effort toward his recovery. JAMES W. FRENCH "Patient of the Week" THE ANSWERS: R. A. Belt: No, I think informality is a show of appreciation.
I think in speaking of a person informally that you show a certain degree of love and respect for him. Of course, when one speaks in derision that means that you are not respectful at all. L. L. Perry: No, I don't think so.
I think that is the way the American people have of expressing themselves. It doesn't show any discourtesy, it is one of our ways of life. Roscoe James: I wouldn't think it would be right to say I think he should be addressed as "Mr. We do that in lodges. Mrs.
John Mattingly: No, I think if we are talking to him we shouldn't call him "Ike" but speaking to our friends I think it is alright to speak of him as Lyndol Nichols: I don't think we are too informal. It's just meant in a friendly way and not to be disrespectful. Mrs. Walter Ridley: I wouldn't think it was disrespectful. I just believe we are more friendly than any other nation.
For example, if someone was to come in and call me Mrs. Ridley I would think they were strangers. Mrs. G. L.
Barnett: No, I don't think so. I don't believe they would be given nicknames if they weren't liked. I say "Ike" and I like him..
