Good soil for good garden
By Felder Rushing
A plant is no better than what it grows in. Got good dirt…er, potting soil?
Had a dream the other night, vivid enough to wake me to text myself a morning reminder; however, the next morning I this message on my phone: pit t soi imdian mods. Took a while to figure out that it was a reminder that, decades ago while working in the MSU horticulture greenhouses, we used soil partly excavated from ancient Indian mounds.

A few tips are offered to help residents prepare for the coming winter weather:
· Charge a mobile phone and other electronic devices to full battery in advance of the storm in case power goes out.
· Stock the home with extra batteries for flashlights and battery-powered devices, such as a portable radio.
· Invest in a car charger to charge devices if the power is out for some time.
· Keep a supply of canned or boxed nonperishable items, as well as convenience foods that do not need to be cooked, like granola bars.

An Ice Storm Warning has been issued for Tallahatchie and 18 other counties in North Mississippi from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 p.m. Sunday.
In an alert, the National Weather Service in Memphis said "significant icing" is expected, with total snow and sleet accumulations between 1 and 3 inches and ice accumulations between one-half and 1 inch.
NWS said to expect power outages that last more than a day — long power outages are possible — and extensive tree damage due to the ice.
Travel could be impossible and should be restricted to emergencies only.

There are several species of whales found in the Gulf of America. The two most sighted are: the killer whale (orca) and the sperm whale.
In the summer of 2008, four large pods (schools or herds) of killer whales were spotted approximately 125 miles southeast of Pasca-goula, Mississippi, by a group of people aboard the Shady Lady Charter Boat. While any sighting of a killer whale is rare, it is even more unusual that several groups of them would be spotted at one time.
