Purchase Cotton Seed
Eurly This Year

If YOU are a cotton farmer and
will have to purchase your planting
seed this year, the earlier you get
this job done, chances are you viii
get better seed. Authorities tell US
that very small supplies will have
a termination as high as 1870. Most
of them will be much lower.
Cultivation is a good method OF
improving your pasture provided 1t
is sod bound" with bermuda or
carpet grasses. The Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station found that both
bermuda and bunch grass was IN
creased $3.50 in yield when disked.
Demonstrations in our Brown
Loan area indicate that disking i'm
proves Dallis and bermuda grasses.
The growth is stimulated, which i'm
proves quality and palatibility.
Two disking periods for bermuda
sods are recommended in Mississip-
ri. One in early September before
white and hop clovers terminate
and in late February or early March
before lespedeza terminates. II ber-
muda is controlled, the clover can
usually hold its own. White Dutch
clover, hop clover and lespedeza
seed are wasted if sown on heavy
bermuda sod.
Heavy bermuda may also be re-
moved from clover seed bed by close
moving and raking Oft.
Bermuda grass, n OF the Soutn's
best friends for soil holding ana
grazing crops will be a hinderance
to the grazing program if it is not
properly managed and controlled.
Now, as soon as the soil is dry
enough is the time to get your lime
and phosphate distributed on your
pasture. If these jobs are put OH
until plow time, there is a big chance
YOU will not have another chance TO
get them on the ground before iay-
by-tlme. $50.

Color Blind AStory
OF Our Racial
Problem
By ANN PETRY
Book Find Clubs Selection
For November

401 Broadway, New York 10, N. Y.
Margaret Halsey won her reputation
as humorist when she wrote tina
very funny book about the English
With Malice Toward Some. But
humorist is also a world citizen lik
the rest of us, with the same obliga
tons, the same doubts and fears, thu
same responsibilities.
During the war years, Miss Halse.
worked as captain of hostesses a
the Stage Door Canteen. Here for the
first time she was thrown into direct
contact with negroes, working with
them on an equal footing. She has
recorded that experience in Color
Blind, using it as a springboard from
which to explore the whole subject OF
race relations for the benefit of other
white Americans.
Miss Halsey takes her responsible
ties as a citizen seriously. For the
subject she writes about in Color
Blind is the skeleton in the American
closet, the scandal that can not be
concealed This country is trying to
write the terms of permanent peace
while shuffling atom bombs from peck
ct to pocket And at the same time we
are attempting to sell democracy as
way of life to Germany, to Japan.
Yet these days the rest of the civilized
world calls America a psychotic, a
living liar among the nations of the
world-a country which mouths be-
lief in the theory that all men are
created equal, and yet refuses to
practice that theory where negro
Americans are involved. In the last
few months the record of that refusal
has been written in blood. A wave of
violence and terror has swept over
the country Four people were killed
by a masked mob in Georgia and in a
small town in Alabama, a group of
young strong men trampled old peo-
pie and cripples under foot.
The people who did the killing and
the binding and the trampling were
white. Their victims were negroes.
Thus Color Blind arrives at moment
when it is sorely needed. 1t is the
right book at the exact right time.
Among other things Miss Halsey tells
the story Of the way in which the
Stage Door Canteen's no-discrimina-
ton policy worked-the things that
and did not happen because
negro servicemen danced with young
white junior hostesses. The result is
4 brilliantly written record of personal
experience which is also a completely
book on race relations. Miss
Halsey's style is swift-moving illum-
mated with flashes of humor for which
she is justly famous.
