you, is behind more song hits,

Bill Kenny and Disc Jockey
Barry Gray in their interview
over, a Miami Beach Station
punched out the subject of race
prejudice toe to toe with Bill
Kenny coming out victorious.
The telephone calls in regards
to the interview praised Kenny
for his stand and said he was
right. Mr.. Truman's policy is
finally taking hold. In many
instances we find that there is
a new and better feeling South
of the Dixon line. It is
the influence of President Tru-
man that is causing it. Remem-
Der nothing can advance any
further than its leader. If the
leader of a group has a bias at
titude, it spreads over the or
ganization. If he is a fair and
liberal man, that influence
spreads, so maybe the South
erners see the handwriting on
the wall.

Observers Of successful persons
are almost always inspired to en-
ulation OF such successful PR
sons. We should all strive to en-
ulate what is good, and success
full; but in SO doing, we frequent
~ become copy-eats, and some
times poor ones at that. There is
always the probability that we
are not qualified in any way to
duplicate, or approach duplica-
ton of those we admire. There
is always the possibility that we
could, by giving free reign to
our own abilities, excel the per-
formances Of those we admire.
One should stop and think Of
these things. I know many per-
sons who listen to the radio and
Immediately become convinced
that they can do the same things
which the radio artist does. How
mistaken most Of them are. Per-
formers usually reach their place
in the sun after wears of training
and experience. The fellow who
thinks he can do the same thing
right away, as soon as he hears
it, is riding for hard fall. He
usually does the turn to his own
satisfaction, and then walls loud
" because he is not appreciated
by others. Same old advice.
Learn to examine and criticize
yourself, and trust the public to
approve what it likes.

annual classic PORTRAYAL OF
FINE ARTS and SPAN OF PRO-
GRESS EXHIBIT, tickets now on
sale.
THESE DAYS of witch-hunts,
character-smearS and distorted
history require "refresher
course" in knowing our neighbols
better. This is especially true re-
garding minority groups. Mrs.
Gardner tells me she is greatly
encouraged by increasing number
Of white citizens who show de
sire for learning. Her work is thus
devoted to better Democracy. We
trust many white and colored will
reserve tickets now.
DR.. E. E. DuRANT, rector and
founder Of st. Ambrose Episcopal
Church, N. Y, made most time

magnitude Of the colored race
throughout the world. The many

every schoolboy knows. Hamilton,

was bitterly opposed. But finally

THE CONSTITUTION was on
The verge Of being rejected by the
states until Hamilton, James Mad
ison and John Jay prepared a
series Of historic arguments
known as THE Fee,eralist" papers
which helped swing the decision
that convinced the nation. The
Constitution was then ratified in
1888 and the new government of
the U. S. went into effect in 1889.
Thus a colored n an helped to es-
tablish the U, S. A.
CRISPUS ATTACKS, of course,
had spanked off the American
crusade for independence and de.
nocracy here in Boston on March
5, 1910. That was EIGHTY NINE
YEARS before the Constitution
went into effect. Along with At
tucks. thousands # other colored
men in the early colonies helped
to make our democracy possible.
And there's a lot more.
THE FREEDOM SONGS Of The
Colored American which date
back beyond 1920, certainly had
a mounting effect upon our demo
cracy, as jeff Davis discovered IN
time. These spirituals of freedom
are the greatest native music Of
cur nation. They stirred Ameri-

they made Lincoln, they made

Over Gruzing Of Outs

AS 1 have travelled over the
county l have observed a number
of farmers over grazing their oats.
You will get better results by not
grazing too close. The oats should
never be grazed lower than 2 in
ches. If they are grazed closer
than this it takes them much
longer to come back than it would
if they were not grazed so close.
If your oats were fertiliZed prop
erlv they should support about
500 pounds beef per acre. How
ever, from my observations /
have observed 3 to A cows per
acre over the county. Where this
condition occurs it would be bet
ter to Craze your oats at a few
days intervals or 30 to 40 minutes
each day rather than let your
cows remain on the oats all time.
When you have grazed your
oats to the extent that you OBJ
serve bear spots on the ground
you are beginning to over Craze
and your oats will not give you a
satisfactory return if they are
over grazed.

Control CutfIe Grubs

Cattle grubs should be control
led in cows back as soon as you
notice the knots and little holes in
the COWS back. One and one-four-
tn per cent Derris Dust should be
used in the control of cattle grubs.
Just dust this material on the
backs and rub your hand over the
back as you dust so the material
may sift into the holes cut in the
coh's back by the grubs. The time
of year varies as to when the first
holes will be cut in the cows
back. Usually in this area it is
from December LIST until January
LIST, SO you will have to determine
tn time to dust the material on the
back by checking your cows.
When 25% of the knots have holes
cut in them it is time to give your
first treatment. A second treat
ment may be applied from 20 te
30 days.

Plant Home Orchard New
Every farm family can grow
some fruits for home use. BY
planting the proper kinds and
varieties, one or more kinds OF
delicious tree or vine-ripened fruit
can be available from April to
October.
Late fall and early winter is the
best time to plant fruit trees,
grape vines and pecan trees.
Trees set now will stand less
chance of loss than those planted
later. Root systems of early plant
ed trees will become better estab-
lished before growth starts in the
spring.
Plan the orchard before order
ing nursery stock. About one
half acre is needed for a complete
home orchard. Varieties of
peaches recommended are Belle
of Georgia, j. H. Hale, Early
Elberta, Carman and Hale Ha-
ven. New varieties recently de-
veloped and showing promises in
Mississippi are Red Haven, Dixie
Red, Fireglow, Sun High, Early
Red-Fire, Fisher, New Day, Trio
gem and Rattan Rose. Real early
varieties are May Flower and
Early Rose.
Best orchard site is a well
drained sandy loan soil with a
deep area surrounded by woods.
Prepare the soil well by deep
breaking and disking before set
ting trees. On land subject to
erosion, construct wide terraces
and plant trees on the terraces
and on contour lines between the
terraces.
Spacing Tor trees and vines are
peaches and plums, 20 to IS feet
apart; apples and pears, 30 to 81
feet apart; pecanS, b0 to 80 fee
apart; bunch grapes, 10 to IL fee
apart in 8-foot rows, and musca-
dine grapes, 20 feet apart in 8.
foot rows.
Examine nursery stock as soor
as received, and keep roots mois
and protected from sun, wind am
freezing until ready to plant. /
unable to plant trees within a few
days after arrival, dig a trench
in a well drained place and 'hee
in" the roots.
In setting trees, be sure t,
spread out roots in a natural DO
sition and pack soil around thes'
roots. Dig holes for trees Jus
large and deep enough to hold fh'
roots in a natural position, zn'
set the tree about one inch deepe
THAN it grew in the nursery.

Whether we like to admit 1t or

be large enough to hold all the
books and still have plenty pf ell

which means less fatigue-there
should be a chair high enough to

However. no real relaxation Is
possible unless there is good lila

Control Lice

Cattle lice should be controlled
at this time of year. They do
considerable damage to cattle dur
ing the winter months. Cattle lice
are very easy to control by spray
ing with a pressure spray using
BIC at the rate of 4 pounds to
so gallons of water. This is
enough material to spray practic-
ally 100 head. The cattle should
be wet to the skin. We have a
fifty gallon pressure sprayer that
is available to any farmer in the
county.
