Summer Lawn Care ''~@e&
Better Cultural Practices Will Help
Provide q Green Lawn in Hot Weather
By W. H. Younemon
Corden Editor

will injure other plants, so steps
should be taken to prevent their
being sprayed or blown onto de-
Isirable plants.
Control Beetle Grubs
If the lawn area has not been
treated for the control Of Japa-
neSe beetle grubs, it is hardly
reasonable to expect the blue
grass or any other lawn grass to
be vigorous and strong. The Jap
anese beetle grubs feed on grass
roots from mid-August or Sep
.tember until they emerge as adult
beetles the following June. Unless
the beetle numbers are small per
square foot of lawn area, the
grass roots are likely to be cur
tailed and all cultural practices
practically nullified. Chlordane
at the rate of eight ounces per
/ 900 square feet of lawn area,
lis one of the quickest controls
that can be applied. However,
Ichlordane is likely to remain ef-
fective for only a few years
probably three to five. The milky
spore disease is slower acting, but
within a few years will provide
permanent protection from beetle
grub damage to the grass.
The above cultural practices for
the bluegrass are those most like
ly to produce a good lawn during
the heat of the summer with the
common grasses. For a strong
growing summer grass the gar
dener might try either Meyer
zoyzia or the U-3 bermuda. Both
are available in the form of plugs
or pieces of sod which may be
set into the lawn. 1t will take
two or three years for them to
make a showing, but they are
hot weather grasses and once
Established will crowd out weeds
and crabgrass.

Milk Production Low
BY the Associoted Press

BLACKSBURG. Va, June a.
Virginia's agricultural economists
said milk production per person
reached the lowest level in % years
last April. The per capita pro-
Iduction Of milk was 2.16 pounds
daily.
The economists explained this
by the sharp decrease in cow num-
bers and partly by the low per-
Icentage of cows being MIXED
Cows in milk on May / averaged
only 1872 per cent Of all those In
farm herds. This percentage is
the smallest for that date in six
years.

Mrs. Roosevelt
Answers Russia
On Race Prejudice

PARIS, France, Dec. 31-Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt declared last
week to the Soviet Union that
the United States does not claim
perfection, while admitting that
Negroes are victims of prejudice"
Speaking as acting chairman of
the U. S. delegation to UN, Mrs.
Roosevelt further stated that 1--WE
are doing everything possible to
overcome and eliminate such dis
elimination as may still exist"
Racial discrimination in my
country" said Mrs. Roosevelt, "is
irreconcilable with the fundament-
al principals of humanity and JUS
ice which are embodied in our
Bill of Rights"
Answering the Soviet questions
On Americas discrimination she
cited the affirmative steps that
are Continually" being taken to
combat this racial disorder.
She noted that Negroes are now
voting in increasing numbers. She
said in 13 years the number of
Negroes employed by local, state
and national governments has in
creased to 100000.
Commenting next on The Human
Rights Covenant, Mrs. Roosevelt
said that efforts to delete all i'm
fermentation clauses would make
The Covenant truly illusory. Re-
plying to Soviet bloc insistence that
a single covenant should cover all
human rights - economic, social,
and cultural, as we'll as civil and
political rights, Mrs. Roosevelt said
that civil rights are basic rights
without which there can be no 9TH
er rights.

Drive Carefully

Speaking of the millionth traffic fatality and sound
ing somber warning National Safety Council Presl-
dent Ned H. Dearborn said:
"These million traffic victims from all walks
of e of every age of every faith and creed and
They fathers and mothers, sons and daughters.
None them wanted to die They wanted to live just
much as you and If their million voices could be raised
today in ghosty chorus to carol Christmas plea that
this needless slaughter be stopped in the interest of
peace earth, good will to men, America would stop,
look and listen.
1t seems futile, to mind, to do little more than
emphasize the wisdom of Mr.. Dearborn's words. The
million dead gone forever 1t is to the living to do
everything possible to foresta the coming of the second
million traffic deaths 1t be done if each of driver
and Pedestrian alike, little common sense and
forethought.
In anticipation of the usual holiday traffic blood
bath, we d like to make the following suggestions
l. If you drink don't drive If you must drink do it
at home, and stay there.
2 Concentrate on your holiday driving habits. I'M
prove them Use every bit of driver courtesy possible
g. AS driver, watch for intoxicated pedestrians.
AS pedestrian, be especially watchfu when crossing
streets.
A. Enjoy the holidays safely and sanely.
The National Safety Council best summed up the
alarming traffic death rate when in its statement
corning the mionth death concluded: &. day
civilized country should see.
Let's all do best to cut down the growing
fatality roster each holiday Start the New Year right

Negroes Want
Jobs; Boycott
Harlem Beer

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 - The
boycott against beer in Harlem
seems to be a part Of a nationwide
effort by Negroes to obtain more
jobs in the production and distri-
button end of this industry.
Brewery officials don't like this
blow which will hit them at time
when their production is lowest.
This is the time of the year when
most breweries are operating with
the minimum number of employees.
Further reduction in consumption
and hamper stock-piling for future
delivery.
While the breweries use Negro
statesmen and white collar workers,
they have to contend with unions
in other phases of the industry.
Many Of these unions tacitly re-
fuse to permit Negroes to join,
thereby depriving Negroes of the
opportunities to work in the pro-
duction and distribution end of the
industry.

Africans BEING
Trained For
Self Development

LONDON, Dec. 81 - For Afri-
ca, the next step after self-g govern
ment is self development and thou
sands of Africans are now being
trained as scientists, doctors and
teachers.
In the British dependencies of
Africa, which total Sc million peo-
pie, equal to one third of the popu-
lation of the United States, Afri-
cans are being taught how to use
their vast resources of talent, raw
materials and water power.
Territories such as the Gold
Coast and Nigeria which have al
most attained autonomy, are stres-
sing the highest levels of educa-
ton. Buildings are rising where
skilled technicians will be trained
for work in Is British dependen-
cies.
The British taxpayers are con-
tributing heavily towards the
plans. They are giving S980,000 to
the new technical college at Kuma-
81; $4,000 to the University Col
lege at Achimota; $854,000 for
Gold Coast primary and secondary
education and S1,002, 400 for Gold
Coast teacher training.
More fascinating still are the
plans for an inter-racial institu-
ton catering to all students to all
races now being built at Nairobi,
Kenya, in East Africa, a country
of 100000 Africans, 10000 Eu-
ropeans and 100000 Indians.
Recently, private firms such as
the British Broadcasting company
have given courses of special in
struction, which will help secure a
