OF increasing concern to fores-
tiers and timberland owners Is the
large areas of Commercial forest
lands oevoting Itself to the pro-
duction of undesirable and defec-
tive upland hardwood species. In
many cases the soil under these
trees has a higher capability rat
ing and fertility level than eroded,
worn out ex-crop land fields
which agricultural workers in
their contacts with farmers usu-
ally recommend planting to trees.
OF course these worn out fields
probably should be returned to
woodland use. However, not all
farms have these worn out fields
to plant but q good many do have
upland wooded areas that are
supporting a stand of Gull hard-
woods which will never produce
any product better than fuel
wood.
These low grade hardwood
growths can be easily and cheap
by converted to- growing pine; a
tree that can be- used for fence
posts when it is four inches in,
diameter, pulpwood when it is
five inches in diameter and lum-
Der when il Is eight inches in dia-
meter.
In order to convert scrubby
growth to pine we must either
have natural pine reproduction
or must undertake planting the
area with nursery grown seed
lings.
Volunteer seedlings coming in
under hardwuods respond readily
when relieved from the overhead
competition. Seedlings planted
under old growth make vigorous
growth Immediately if the over
head competition is eliminated at
the time of planting or soon after

mate or girdling. If sprouts are
undesirable, trees under ten in
ches should be animated. Trees
over 10 inches usually do not
sprout when deadened.
If farm lands are going to sup
port forest growth, this growth
should not only pay its way but
it should take its place in the
farm economy along with pastures
and field crops. Agricultural
workers can add measurably to
an individual farm income by
showing farmers how to make
their woodlands produce merch-
antabIe forest products.

In Unity There is
Strength: In Honesty
There is Virtue
BY Ralph J. Boush

In "The West End News
under date of May Is, 1850, APP
pears an article in which Mr..
Joseph E. Ritzberg describes
Mr.. Ashley L. Totten as a SUI
coordinate official of the Bro
therhood Of Sleeping Car
Porters, politically restrained
and circumscribed by the
thinking and decisions Of the
executive committee of that
organization.
In contrast to this: Mr.. Sam
uel r. lack, Chairman Of the
Jury Panel Of Labor Arbitra-
ton IA program heard over
VIM. C.A.) in addressing a
meeting Of the American Vir-
gin Islands Civic Association
(see Amsterdam News of Fri
day, June 8, 1850 compared
Mr.. Totten's ability with Drs.
P.M.H. Savory and CD. Po-
well of the New York Amster-
dam News to whom he paid a
great tribute and pointed out
graphically that if Negroes
had supported their Brown
Bomber Baking project as they
should they would be far more
Independent today.
At this meeting Mr.. lack
read a letter from Senator
Lehman GUS. Congress) ex-
pressing his high admiration
and respect for Ashley L. Tot
ten, president Of the associa-
ton and then said Il have
known Ashley for a long time.
He has served with distinction
on our jury panels for seven
years and we have on our files
thousands of letters from the
radio audience commencing
him for his impartial decisions
on cases affecting labor and
management alike. The fine de-
monstration he gave at the
, 1950-06-21

time your governor came to
the city should bear proof to
all of you that he is sincere.
Quite true he occupies the
most important office for years
as Secretary-Treasurer Of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters and his work there re-
fleets great credit to his abili-
ty as a leader, but more that
that he loves the Virgin Is
lands and wherever he goes he
is always talking about them
Does Mr.. Ritzberg hope to
underestimate the true value
of Mr.. Totten's position by
terming it subordinate" or is
he lacking in moral strength
in the presentation of his high
~ adulterated case, and so by
pretense, hopes to mislead his
readers.
It may now be appropriate
to say that Mr.. Ashley L. Tot
ten is the international Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters. In fact he is the found
er of this organization. His po-
sition is outstanding and envi-
able, and may be reason for
many unjust attacks upon him
The President of this organi
zation, the Hon. A. Philip Ran
dolph, illustrious labor leader,
and winner of the Springarn
Medal has been a friend and
associate Of Mr.. Tote through
many years of diversified ex-
periences and of him. he
speaks in the highest commend
able terms. Again there is no
relationship other than good
will between the two organi-
cations they are separate and
distinct and in no way co-relat
ed in their functions. Thus Mr..
Ritzberg's subordinate Off
eial" as applied to Mr.. Totten
is but an empty gesture as.
may be said is apparent in the
complete structure of his arti-
Gle.
Mr.. Totten has not used
, 1950-06-21

words as a means of proving
his love for the Virgin Islands;
by deeds he has spoken, and
therein lies the UNDERSTANDABLE
proof of his loyalty and devo-
ton. Time and money are not
considered when a Virgin Is
lander is i need of help as his
riles may definitely prove.
May / pause for a moment to
ask Mr.. Ritzberg if he or any
one he knows as a Virgin Is
lander can thus prove his be
nevolence, devotion or loyalty
to his people?
If the question of political
aid was brought to the atten-
ton Of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, / am
sure in the interest of good
government the Brotherhood
would give their unstinted
support which would be vastly
greater than the combined
strenbth of all Virgin Island
organizations; hence in this
particular Mr. Totem would be an
asset of stupendous importance
rather than a threat to Virgin Is
lands progress asi implied in Mr.,
Ritzberg's statement.
The reception given his Excel
lency, Governor Morris F.de Cas-
tro was most successfully handled
and was the largest demonstration
of any kind relative to the Virgin
Islands and its people yet given.
The supreme qualification of this
occasion was that mainland Vir-
gin Islanders were akadened to
the admiration of their new Gov
ernor and with much enthusiasm
expressed their desire to cooper
ate with him in his effort to i'm
prove conditions in the islands.
The Co-ordinating Committee
referred to by Mr.. Ritzberg is sup
posed to be made up of members
from all the Virgin Islands organi
cations. However since the Com
mittee does not properly function
an invitation was officially ex-
tended by the American Virgin Is
lands Civic Association to each or
ganizational group therefore, to
the complete membership body of
all the organizations. Every care
was taken to assure a large and
representative attendance at the
Rally for the. Governor, and it is
most pleasing to say that this was
satisfactorily accomplished.
The real evil that impedes the
progress of Virgin Islanders may
be characterized as selfishness &
envy. To be a really united people

Pair Is Split by
 Rainiers, Oaks, Sunday Games
(By the Associated Press)

San Diego and Hollywood ap- parently are not conceding the Pa- cific Coast League pennant to Oak land.
 The Padres from the south swept a even-game set from Los Angeles with 10-6 and 6-5 wins yesterday,
 while Hollywood tanned Portland
 twice, 5-1 and 8-7, to make it six
 out of seven in their series.
 Oakland was hard-pressed to split
 with Seattle, 0-5 and 5-3. The Oaks found their lead whit tied to seven games over the Padres, 71a over Hollywood. Still quite com- fortable margins, of course, but the situation bears watching. The Oaks just managed to take the Seattle series, four games to three. San Francisco wound up with a four-three edge over Sacramento after trading close ones yesterday, To for the Seals, 6-5 for the Solons.
 Nanny Perez twirled a two-hit
 shutout to beat Matt Surkont in the opener.
 Al Smith pasted grand slam homer in the 18th to bring San Diego it's initial win. Another four run outburst in the fifth clinched the finale.
 Hollywood got a five-hit pitching job from Pete Mondorff, chalking up his first win as starter. and then went on to win for hard-luck Herb Karpel in the afterpiece. Oakland was held to four hits by Rainier Jim Davis, but bounced back with four runs in the first in- ming of the closer to even honors against Paul Richards hard fight ing Seattle crew. Rainiers Frank Colman and Lonnie Frey homered in each game, but Don Padgett's
 three-run circuit blast proved de- cisive for the Oaks.
