ROWELL GIVES CONTROL
FOR WEEVILS IN WHEAT

Practical control of grain wee
wills in stored wheat can be OBJ
tanned readily and inexpensive1y
through the use of carbon disul-
phide, advises J. 0. Rowell, en-
tomologist Of the State College
Extension Service.
Before the grain is stored, the
bins should be cleaned thorough
ly, accumulations of all old grain
removed, and the woodwork
treated with any odorless, taste
less, water-white petroleum sim
liar to. that contained in COM
mercial fly sprays. Walls and
floors should be sprayed thor
oughly with this substance
The accumulations of old grain
and floor sweeping from the pre-
vious crop should be burned, or
if it is to be used as feed, the
grain should be, treated with
carbon disulphide.

Baptists Ignore Racial Lines
At World Alliance Meeting

ATLANTA, July 24.-The Bap-
tlst World alliance removed from
It's congress hall this week all
signs of denoting seating sections
Tor various conventions and ne
gro leaders quickly praised the
step.
Secretary j. H. Rushbrooke of
London announced the alliance
knows no racial discrimination"
and ordered removal of the signs
which, in some instances result
ed in seating by racial groups.
Rushbrooke explained the signs
had been put up simply to en-
able the members of some of the
larger delegations to find their
friends easily"
But" he added, "since it has
been suggested that they had
some bearing on racialism we
will have them removed at once.
And let me say that we are re-
moving them with the full know
ledge and assent of the local COM
mittee."
Shortly afterwards a few ne
groes appeared in sections pre-
viously occupied exclusively by
white persons and a scattering of
white messengers sat down in
the negro sections. At an after
noon group meeting of young
people all color lines were dis
regarded in the seating.
Among those praising removal
of the signs was DR.. H. M. Smith,
Chicago negro, who had COM
planned that he had been ''hu-
inflated" yesterday by being or
dered out of a section of seats
reserved for white persons.
Smith joined R. c. Barbour, edi-
tor of the Voice, negro Baptist
paper at Nashville, Tenn, in the
following statement
Everything is absolutely salts
factory now. We are not here to
butt in on or socialize with white
people. We don't want to 60 to
white hotels, white theaters,
white restaurants or white
homes. But we don't want to be
set apart in this alliance. We are
on equal terms with anyone else
japanese, Chinese, Italians or
any other group. They are not
segregated. Neither do we feel
that we should be-"
Other expressions included DR..
