1Capital and Mr.. Harding
could we'll serve as the city where a
policy could be adopted for all cities
where the practice prevails. Mr..
Harding was asked to make a study
and file a report, with recommended
items, to the council.
Equity is interested only in thea
ters where the legitimate drama is
played Thus the inquiry here Is
restricted to the National Theater,
an old outlet of the spoken drama,
and Lisner Auditorium, which re-
Gently entered the field to limited
extent. Lisner still is primarily for
the use of George Washington Uni
versity and is not considered COM
mercial theater.
Auditorium Picketing.
| But a picket line has been formed
in. front of Lisner Auditorium this
week to protest against refusal of
the management to admit colored
patrons to see Ingrid Bergman in
the new Maxwell Anderson play
Joan of Larraine."
Mr.. Harding says he is trying, OBJ
jectively, to find out how the COM
munity as whole feels, particularly
that portion which normally at
tends the legitimate theater. For
the purpose of his report, he is con-
cerned only with these aspects of
the controversy:
If, as has been proposed to Equity,
It's 5000 members refuse to go to
theaters which exclude people be-
cause of race or color, what would
be the effect? How would it affect
the actors and actresses. Equity it
self as an AFL union, the theaters
which Equity might boycott? Would
these theaters close up, or fall in
line with the new policy and admit
any one who had the price of a
ticket? And, in the final analysis.
would it actually help Negroes, whom
Equity wants to help?
Answers Difficult.
The answers, so far as Washing
ton is concerned, are not easy to get.
The owners and managers of the
National. and Lisner told Mr.. Hard
ing they did not feel that until the
sentiment of the community changed
they could afford to change their
policy of admitting only white per-
sons.
Mr.. Harding, fortunately, knows
Washington well. His father was
the Right Rev. Alfred Harding,
Episcopal Bishop of Washington,
from 1909 to 1923. The son gradu-
ated from Western High School and,
St. Italians Academy. He was in
newspaper work here before he went.
to New York.
Incidentally, when Mr.. Harding
arrived at the Willard Hotel, he
found a picket line. He went to the
head picket and the striker escort
ed him into the hotel and Cleared"
him for a room.

Mule Races Al
Greenwood Aug 7
A big day is coming.


The Sixth annual Mule Derby
sponsored by the Junior Auxiliary
Of Greenwood will be held at Legior
Field, Friday night, August End at s
o'clock.
That's the night the folks in the
Delta honor old Beck and her flock
of hybrid children as these animals
champ the bit and turn their heels
toward running instead of whamm.
ing the daylights out of the person
standing nearest to them.
The Mule Derby in Greenwood is
an original creation and was started
six years ago. From small beginn-
ing attracting only score OF people
today it is an event that attracts ma
tional attention and people flock
here by the thousands to see this
brand of racing that is as uncertain
as to results as some of the things
Congress debates over.
Proceeds Of the Mule Derby are
used by the Junior Auxiliary to aid
under-privileged children and q
more worthy cause is unknown.
This year one of the greatest col
lections of mule flesh ever assembl-
ed in the Delta will prance before
spectators and dish them out some
of the rarest racing ever seen. Pat
rons will have an opportunity OF
picking out a good runnin' mule
and there are some experts in this
class.
For the past two years, Pippin, a
14-year old patriarch of the cotton
fields and owned by Arthur Kille-
brew, has been a sweepstakes win
ner. This old long, rangy mess OF
mule hide, showed his heels to all
the younger stock in the races and
upheld the plantations honors twice
in row. If the owner can yank the
animal out of the grass long enough
the night of August 2, it will be
right back up here defending its
title again.
Despite the ups and downs Of
mule racing, the rivalry has not de-
creased one whit between the plan
tations competing and each year a
fresh crop of farm mules come to
town to establish records. Plantation
colors fly in the breeze and colored
jockeys are just as keen on riding
and taking side bets as the day the
first race was held.
August will form red letter
date on your calender. If you have
never seen Mule Derby, it is time
you were getting started. II you
have seen one, we all know you
will be there bright, and early to
look over the field.

CONSERVATION NOTES
BY APP. CARROLL

On recent visits to several of the
stock ponds which have been con-
structed a year or longer we have
found that most of these have young
willows growing all around the ed
ges of the water. It is very undesir-
able to have them around a pond
and especially growing on the dam.
The roots will grow through the dam
and cause leak. We have known of
pond dams washing out due to these
leaks. These willows can be pulled
up very easily at present, however
if they are allowed to grow until
they will have to be cut it will al
most be impossible to kill them out
H.B. Maxwell has clipped some of
his pastures. He states that due to
the excessive rains during the spr-
ing and summer the grass is much
larger than normally, and is tough
When it is clipped new grass will
grow out which is higher in feed
value, more palatable, and will
cause the cattle to gain faster;espec-
tally the younger cattle.
He is trying to get all Of his past
ures clipped while there is still
plenty of moisture in the ground so
that the grass will grow out faster.
Also he cuts the weeds before they
make seed crop.
Several farmers are planting wild
winter peas in their cotton during
the last cultivation. HIP. Watson,
one of the District Commissioners,
states that early planting of the peas
will cause them to come up earlier
in the fall and give a better growth
and they can be grazed earlier.
It has been stated that cotton seed
meal is going to be scarce this fall
Therefore all cattle farmers should
arrange to plant crops for winter
grazing. It is important to plant
them early. Oats, Crimson clover,
and will winter peas have proven
to be good grazing crops during the
winter months. If oats are used
they should be planted the last OF
August or in September. The peas
should be planted anytime from
now until in October. The earlier
they are planted the more grazing
they will furnish. Crimson clover
can be seeded anytime from Sept
ember lst through october. 1t should
be planted after good rain when
there is plenty moisture in the
ground.

Crawfish Eradication
Program Planned

A crawfish eradication demonstr-
alton using D D T, held by HID.
McMorrough, assistant county agen;
in Monroe county, on the Henry
Craig farm at Prairie, resulted in
8700 crawfish killed on one acre,
for less than 81.
On each acre of the infested cot
ton being treated, Mr.. Marlborough
scattered one bushel of cottonseed
soaked in " percent solution of
D D T. The next day he reported
that he found 8700 dead crawfish on
an acre of the treated land and no
crawfish on the untreated land.
He made another check on this
project 10 days later which showed
only stalks of cotton left on 108
steps of row space on the untreated
land. On the treated area he found
81 stalks on 20 steps Of row space
Mr.. Craig SAYS that he is well
pleased with these results and has
treated other fields. He especially
recommends the treating of infested
land since the cost is under ST. an
acre.
Mr.. McMorrough is Holmes
county boy son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.W.
McMorrouoh, Of Lexington, R F d l
and brother to Mrs. Walter Dur
ham, Jr.. of Durant, the former
Blanche McMorrough.
