Sugar Stamp No. So

Housewives were today reminded
by OPA that Spare Stamp SO, cur

sugar, must be spent in the next

The following day, April LIST, OPA

with Spare Stamp IL becoming good
for that amount, A. D. Simpson, Jr.,
Regional Sugar Executive, said in
Atlanta.
while Spare Stamp II will be
good for ten pounds right on through
September 30th, we are hoping the
sugar supply will make it possible
to declare another ten-pound stamp
good on July 1st," Simpson said.
He emphasized, however, that
these ten-pound stamps are not a
bonus" and that sugar must still
be used carefully. He also pointed
out that there will be no special

spray from 10 to IA days later with

directions on the containers in order
to control brown rot There are also
materials that you can use as a dust,

have not been bothered with blight,
you should wait until about three

of arsenate of lead mixed with the
above mixture. A 1850 Bordeaux

$500 Vets Enrolled
In Farm Truinino

jackson, Especially: The Vocational
DIVISION of the State Department of
education is administering in Miss
isslppi a program of farm training
Ior veterans. Requirements are set
up IN this program in terms of hours
necessary to spend in class-work, in
individual work, and on-the-job
training. Mr.. ]. M. Tubb, State Sup
erlntendent of Education, states that
as OF the last day of February, 1947,
there were approximately $500
veterans enrolled in this program.
The tuition and the other costs of
the program are paid by the Veter-
ans Administration. Mr.. Tubb ex-
presses satisfaction over the manner
IN which these claims have been
processed by the Veterans Admins
tration. From the beginning of the
program on April LIST, 1946 up to the
first of March, 1947, the schools in
which the program is operating has
submitted claims to the amount of
S527, 1922; of this amount $402, 554.-
50 has been paid and 1896, 202.47 has
been disbursed to the schools, to
cover Institutional and operational
costs.
Mr.. Tubb believes that this pro-
gram should help young men in
planning their farm work, encourag-
ing them to become landowners, and
thus building a greater substantial
citizenship for Mississippi. He states
that the Vocational Division of the
State Department of Education and
the Veterans Administration are
working very closely in carrying out
this program.

Combine Milo

1t seems that a good many farmers
of the county are going to plant
combine milo this year and from all
the information that can gather, it
is a very fine crop to follow behind
oats. Farmers have harvested good
crops of grain, especially when plan
ted in June following oats. A few
cattlemen have planted combine
milo and harvested this by turning
cattle on the entire field, or by cut
ting the plants and feeding in bum
dies. 1t seems that the Martin variety
is the most preferred in the state.
Five to seven pounds of seed should
be planted TO the acre in rows and
cultivated as ordinary sorghum. 1t
is very important to plant this crop
late, say from June LIST to as late as
July 18th. Planting at this ime will
moer likely find some clear wea-
Their at harvesting time and insects
and diseases do not esem to give as
much trouble as early planting.
1t is suggested that combine milo
be side dressed with nitrate fertilizer
at the rate of $50 to 300 pounds of
nitrate of soda or its equivalent, per
acre. You may find seed at your
larger seed companies.

fective enough to Danish the
fear of war. This is the policy
in accord with the Labor
party's election pledges and So
cialist principles.
The government, paying full
some lip-service to the UN, has
in fact based its policy on
special association with the
US, including an arms tieup
and joint preparation to use
Anglo American diplomatic,
economic and military power
to uphold its views of its rights
and interests in world affairs
against the USSR. This was the
foreign policy originally pro-
claimed by Mr.. (Winston)
Churchlll at Fulton, MO-, and
since taken up by Pres. Tru-
man. 1t means building up
new balance of power and us
ing war as an instrument of
national, or rather bi-national,
Anglo-American policy.
In the Middle East we have
never attempted to bring the
Soviet Union into partnership
in the control of oil resources,

BRITAIN'S difficulties are
intrinsically greater than those
of either the us. or the USSR.
Our world position has changed
more drastically than theirs
and in a much more unpleas-
ant direction. Whereas they
have become world powers who
by the sheer weight of their
population, resources and ter
ritories mu st remain in the
front rank whatever they do,
Britain can remain the political
and economic center of grav-
ity of rapidly evolving world
wide community of dominions
and colonies and can retain a
first class influence in world
affairs only by displaying a
greater degree of craftsmanship
and moral courage than we
have ever done before.
Hitherto British foreign pol
icy has been conducted by the
propertied classes and for the
propertied classes. A democrat
ic foreign policy, representing
and defending the interests of
the British people, would be a
revolutionary innovation.
In Asia it would mean sub
shutting internationalism for
imperialism as the object of
our policy; in Europe, an adj
vance to Socialism and not
return to capitalism as the
foundation for uniting and pac-
flying Europe and promoting
the spread of democracy and
political freedom.

The rejection by the British
government of the Soviet pro-
posal to use the European Eco
nomic Commission of the UN,
which has been designed for
that purpose, in order to or
ganize Europe's response to the
Marshall offer was largely re-
sponsible for the failure to Sc
cure the cooperation of the So
viett Union and Eastern Eu-
rope.
By thrusting the European
Economic Commission roughly
aside, Britain has laid itself
open to the suspicion that it is
acting not as a free agent try

launched the task of transforming
Indonesia from a colonial economy
into an independent nation.
Rich in resources, it is intended
that these resources be used for

first steps is to be the nationalist
