Khan Marches Thru
Campus Of Talladega

TAALADEGA, Ala Especial TO
The Miami Times) - At 7:55 pm.
Monday, January II, the xxx stag.
ed a dramatic parade through the
campus of Talladega College. Forty
cars rolled through the campus,
while the occupants, in full regalia,
blowed the car horns and shone
spot lights on the students who were
standing outside the buildings. After
ten minutes, they drove away leav-
ing the student body quite excited
and very curious.
Members of the Khan from all
parts of Alabama were represented
in the parade. 1t is believed that
this action was taken as means of
intimidating the student body Of
Talladega College which is the head
quarters of the Alabama Student
Conference on Civil Rights. This
conference which includes both Ne
gro and White students held meet
ing at the college last Saturday, at
which time the local police patrolled
the campus in cars, and were sur
prised and Disguised to see White
and Negro students gaily chatting
together.
This is not the first attempt that
the Khan has made to intimidate the
students. Last Spring two crosses
were burned on the campus; one in
front of a professor home and the
other in front of the mems dormi'
tory. The latter was burned during
an inter-racial dance which was the
closing activity of the first session
of the Conference.

tural program as indicated" (The
Department of Agriculture had
proposed to speed up conservation
from a 1OO-year basis to a 3O-year
basis).
Mike Straus, commissioner of the
Bureau of Reclamation, summarized
his thinking about the Agricultural
program in sentence which reads:
Valuable as many of these
(agriculturaD structures might be,
their effect on the water supplies
for other purposes should be de-
termined before such program is
given general approval" In other
words, farmers are to eat at the
second table; if any.
Secretary Krug, following the adj
vice of subordinates, thereupon wrote
the Secretary of Agriculture letter
raising the question of effect on
main stream flow, and refusing to
give the Department of Interiors APP
prevail to the agricultural program.
Having over planned down
stream works, the Interior Depart
ment today finds itself fighting
against stockwater ponds and ac-
CELEBRATED soil conservation on the
farms of the west because water
might be held back from its own
foolish, premature and wasteful
projects which ''are already

is possible. 1t would not only add
enormously to the electric energy
available in this power-hungry reg
ion, but it would substitute a reli-
able type of channel, a slack-water
channel, which would not require
that the west be squeezed dry of its
water. A slack-water channel re-
quires only enough water to operate
the locks when boats go through.
The flowing channel has been esti-
mated TO require 100000 acre
feet of flow annually at the head
of the channel Sioux City, plus evap-
Grafton losses, which would amount
to nearly all the present run-off from
the arid areas to the west Zone
estimate is that the flowing channel
would require II million acre feet of
1874 million acre feet of average
annual flow at Yankton, SD

on land programs which would save
the soil, stop erosion and improve
agriculture. Farmers must forego
ponds and soil practices which will
retard water back on the land and
at the heads of the creeks. Water
must be squeezed off the land in the
west to supply the questionable sub
humid area engineering projects and
an open, flowing navigation channel
which outstanding engineers say will
not be reliable nor economically
sound in any event.
Under a true, overall develop
ment, soil conservation and land pro-
grams will be encouraged to halt silt

west can use its water in the west.

Agricultural program are in SHARP
contrast to this extreme position OF
the backwards planners.
The Federal Power Commission
urging speedy investigation of the
effect that the land program will
have on flow and siltation in the
river, said unequivocally:
1.-THE main stem of the (Mis-
souri) river below Fort Randall
and Gavins Point dams, in addition
to being an important navigable
waterway, has extremely import
ant power possibilities since the
entire Missouri river flows through
about 40 feet of head between
the taiIwater of the Gavins Point
project and the mouth of the river.
eff the water-borne sediment in
this reach of the river could be ma
terially reduced, it would be pos
sible to develop a series of low
head power and navigation dams
that would yield over 12,5OO,o0O,-

ergy annually AND PROVIDE

Market Outlook

row demand from the larger mills
and weakness in many other COM
modities. Domestic offerings are
small and most foreign markets re-
main steady to strong. Contracting
unshorn woods is quiet. If business
activity continues to slacken, wool
prices probably will weaken as the
new clip becomes available. Early
selling seems advisable.
WHEAT prices probably will have
a partial recovery in the next two
or three months. About 343, 00O, 900
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-15

bushels, or 40 percent of total Jan.
l stocks, were impounded for gov
eminent loans or purchase contracts.
The carryover is expected to be only
300, 000, 900 to 325, 900, 900 bushels.
Prices may have to rise high
enough to attract some wheat from
the loan unless the government takes
out enough for its export program
to prevent tightness. While recent
price weakness has been disturbing
TO those holding wheat without
loans, the dumping period is likely
to be brief.
Government buying has been light
in the last two months, but prob
ably will increase to halt the price
slump and to provide for increased
exports as more ships become avail
able.
New crop prospects r highly
favorable, with a snow cover in most
areas and ample moisture for future
growth. Sections where ice may
have caused damage are limited.
However, severe drouth is reported
in southern Europe, which will tend
TO sustain import needs next sea-
son..
HAY prices have advanced locally
where supplies have run low in some
western storm areas but have shown
little change elsewhere. In some
cases, bad weather has restricted
shipment from surplus sections into
shortage regions. Prices during the
rest Of the season will vary with
local supplies and with severity OF
weather.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices prob
ably will decline unevenly during
the next three or four months. Milk
production will increase about 50
percent from February to June. Con-
sumer demand probably will weaken
moderately in this period.
EGG prices probably win b
steady to weak in the ear future,
then stabilize around the spring sup
port level which will be about the
same al last year. Production viii
increase about Is to IS percent from
February to the spring peak in April
Production is above last year and
