SONG.
MARBLE TOP TABLE.

From Mrs. B. E. X, WdShinotonJ
This is in response to the re-
quest made by DR.. E. H. B., Bal
timore, for the words of a song.
1 learned this song while attend
ing grade school here in Washing
ton. Although I don't know the
composers name or where the
song was published, I do remem-
Der the following verses.
Butterfly. fitting by,
Have you any work to dor
There you fit. while l sit
Reading lessons through and through.
Yes, indeed DER each seed
l must shake the pollen box
Maiden's Hair needs my care
l must wind the four o'clocks!
Black-eyed Sue needs me too.
Lady's slipper ! must tie.
Never say. even in play,
Idle is the butterfly
I have also been interested in
the recent request for the proper
care of marble tops. I have two
Victorian pieces of furniture, both
of which came to me as old fam
lily pieces. One is table and the
other is a chest of drawers, and
both of them have white marble
tops. have always used a
cleanser to clean both of these
marble tops, and have kept them
nice and white with this care. The
RICH has been Of much enjoy
ment to me. I attended public
schools here in Washington. the
Grant and the Adams schools,
and many of the songs and poems
by your readers are
very familiar to me, being old ones
that l learned while in school.

Pasture Minded
AT this season most farmers
have cotton and other row crops
upper-most in their minds and
probably rightly so. However, our
pastures also need some attention.
The moving machine is one of
the most important, if not the
most important, pieces of farm
machinery for use in pasture inn
provement. During spring mon
tbs clover and grass grow rapidly.
Obnoxious weeds and grasses
also thrive during this season and
will do considerable damage to
the pastures unless you use the
moving machine often. Clip pas
lures before these undesirable
weeds and grasses have time to
mature and make seed. Due to
the present drought, it is more
important than ever to clip past
ures. Weeds not only shade the
pasture plants but also compete
with them for moisture. Weeds
are very deep rooted plants and
can draw moisture from below our
pasture plants, thus the desirable
grass and clover will be the first
to suffer.
The moving machine is also
used very profitably all during
the grazing season to cut grass
and clover that has gotten too tall
and tough for the cows to like.
This not. only provides tender
fresh grazing but you can also
stack this excess grass and clover
for your livestock to utilize dur
ing the winter months.
If you have good pastures now,
it's going to take constant i'm
provement to keep them produc-
ing. If your pasture needs i'm
proving, now is the time to begin
making your pasture plan. The
quality of the pastures you have
next year and the years to fol-
low will depand to a large extent
on the plan you make and carry
out.
Only through planning and con-
slant improvement can we have
pastures which will produce the
high quality livestock which the
market demands.

prostitution, vagrancy and other
evils virtually unknown in tribal
society have become so prevalent
to cause wide spread concern.
Basically, the existing "situa-
ton is far more tragic for the
Afrikaner Nationalist than for
the EngliSh-speaking South Afri-
can," Mr.. Patton suggests.
although both know no other
home, this is true in a different
sense for the Afrikaner.. In this I
feel for him painfully and deep

shat is why I never use harmful
language in giving any account
of Nationalist policies. But the

NEW YORK, October II - A
warning of the serious and pos
sibly tragic consequences of the
rising racial and political tensions
in. South Africa is sounded by
Alan Patton, distinguished South
African author and social scien-
list, in a study released today by
the Phelps-Stokes Fund and the
Public Affairs Committee.
Except for the conflict be-
tween the Soviet Union under its
MARKHAM leaders and freedom
loving peoples, there is no world
problem more difficult and more
potentially explosive than that
Involving the non-European pop
ulation in the Union of South
Africa declares DR.. Arson Phelps
Stokes, president emeritus of the
fund, in an introduction to Paton's
dramatic report.
Mr.. Patton gives an unforget-
table picture of the conflict and
tragedy which, marks life in
South Africa in his report which
is issued as a ascent pamphlet
by the Public Affairs Committee,
% East .238th st., New York. He
shows how the present crisis has
grown out of the sharply diver
gent historical backgrounds of the
Afrikaners of Dutch descent and
the South Africans of English
descent and it's tragic effect on
the normal and natural aspira-
tons of the native population for
an opportunity for the develop
ment of their own gifts and
powers.
This crisis has been accentuat-
ed, Mr. Patton believes, by a series
of drastic actions recently taken
by the Afrikaner government of
Premier Malan. These include
passage of Groups Areas A C
which lays the foundations for
rigid system of territorial and
residential segregation, the es-
Establishment of a separate roll of
which voters to elect White rep
reSentativeS to an all-White Par
lament, and the provision of
grants to welfare organizations on
the condition that mixed meet
ingS be discontinued.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Patton declares,
the "whole nation has been rock
ed to its foundation" by an eco
nomic revolution that is in some
ways more powerful than its po-
litical upheavel. AS result of the
growth of industry and mining,
millions of Africans have been
drawn to the cities and other mil
lions work on white mems farms.
The impact of urban dwelling
upon African tribal life and GUS
toms has been shattering. Crime,
