$1,000 TO EDUCATION CASES
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION GIVES

II. Council Trenholm, executive
secretary of the Alta, said:
"As a result of a special appeal
made to the board Of trustees by
C. l.. Harper, there was the de-
cision to increase the contrihu-
ton this year to $4,000. This adj
ditional contribution became pos
sible through some budget adj
justments which we are happy to
make at this time for this year
and which thus means that we
are Signalling this 50th Alta con-
vention with a contribution which
in reality represents 500 for
each of the fifty conventions
Alta has held"
Expressing his deep thanks ON
behalf of the Legal Defense
Fund, Thurgood Marshall, direct
or, wrote DIR. Trenholm that the
A t A contribution was most
heartening,' saying 1T answers
the unjust criticisms of our Me-
gro teachers who are so often the
victims of propaganda to the eff
feet that they are only interested
in themselves and not in the well
fare Of their people, You and the
other officers of the American
Teachers association have set the
pace with regular contributions
over long period of years"

ORANGEBURG, S. c, A con-
tribution of $1,000 was made to

5Oth annual convention here last
week to aid in the emergency ex-
penses of the re-argument of the
public school segregation cases in
the United States Supreme Court
next December 7.
The gift represents an extra
contribution of $4,000, since the
Alta gives the Legal Defense
Fund each year about $1,000 on a
membership percentage basis. The
regular contributions began in 80
38 80 and the total amount con-
tributed by the teachers associa-
ton for the fifteen year period
is now $l6,69010.

a place to build nest that
causes the calls for control mea-
sures.
The solitary waspS builds nest
of mud or burrows in the ground.
We think of them as mud daubers
and digger wasps. The mud dau-
bers build mud cells in attics, on
porches, windows and buildings.
They collect spiders as food for
the young in the mud cell. The
diggers burrow in lawns, causing
unsightly mud piles.
Remember wasps are beneficial
insects, but if you feel you must
control them around your home,
lawn or buildings, try the fol-
lowing measures.
Inside buildings, as in the home,
apply household spray to them
as you find them. Use a DOT,
chlordane, lindane or pyrethrum
spray. A fly swatter comes IN
handy. Nests under the caves
and in shrubbry can be sprayed
or busted with these same mate
rials, or you can burn out the
wasps. 1t is best to apply the
dust or spray at night.
Make SO DOT spray by mix

Strong booster for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture's Fed
eral Crop Insurance Program is
Peyton A. Jones, Howard Com
munity cotton grower, left above
with the writer.
Jones, who was born and reared
in the Howard area, has seen
many changes in farming opera
alton since he was youngster.
I'VE do things a lot differently
now" he says. We're more me-
chanized, and we've gone long
way in improving our yields, our
farm practices, and so on. Life on
the farm isn't nearly as rugged as
it once was"
Jones reminds US that some
things haven't changed much,
though.
The crop hazards that go with
farming are still with u.s." he
says. 1--WE haven't been able to
! do much to control drought,
floods, and hail. Bugs and plant
diseases still take their toll OF
growing cotton crops, too, de
spite come of the control measures
that have been developed.
Modern farming have raised
the cost of farming, too" Jones
adds. 1T costs a lot more to farm
now than it used to. That's why
I'm a strong supporter of the
Federal Crop Insurance Program.
A crop insurance policy protects
a mans investment in his crop
against all the hazards to cotton
growing that he can't personal
ly control. Like other insurance
it does so at very reasonable cost.
I think it's one Of the best things
to come along for Mississippi cot
ton growers"
Jones had the value of his crop
insurance policy driven home TO
him six years ago when he SUI
fered a severe loss on some rent
ed land. A sixty-acre tract was
all but wiped out by flood when
a creek overlooked after heavy
rains.
81 don't believe there was more
than about IL acres left of that
tract, and the sand on it wasn't
much to brag about" Jones re-
calls.
"The crop insurance indemnity
check saw me through in good
order, though" he adds. 81 got
my cost of production back, and
was left in shape to try for an
other crop the next year."

gram is developing into a real

How well your new spring suit
or coat fits can be the difference
in a good and poor buy. Even
il the style, fabric, color and
price are right for you, it will
pay you to think twice before
you invest in a garment that
doesn't fit 'juSt right.
A good fit has much to do with
how well the garment wears and
how comfortable it is-in addition
to its appearance.
If alterations must be made,
consider whether they will change
the line or style and make the
garment less attractive and be-
coming. If you plan to do the
refitting, be sure you have the
skill for doing a professional job.
If the shop or tailor or dressmaker
is to do it, consider the added
cost-and make sure it will be
well done.

Conservation Notes
BY "A. p. Carroll

H. l.. Nichols has completed
dragline ditch on Lynchfield Plan
tation that drains $50 acres. Mr..
Nichols was one of the first Delta
farmers to cooperate with the
Holmes County Soil Conservation
District. A v ditch was being
used where the dragline ditch
was constructed. Mr.. Holly, the
rider of the place, states that this
ditch carried the water off within
two or three hours after a big
rain, whereas it would take three
or four days for the V ditch to
carry it off.
A farm plan with the Soil
Conservation District was made
recently on the F. w. Gwin farm.
Mr.. Gwin took soil samples, sent
to State College to get recon-
mendation for the kind of ferti-
lizer to use under different crops.
He found that a mixed fertilizer
was needed for cotton and corn.
Mr.. Gwin has constructed several
w bitches on the low places in his
fields.
]. T. Thomas, on Egypt Planta-
ton, states that anhydrous am
monia placed 10 inches apart
under fescue and rye grass last
November has not given a uni
form growth. From one-third TO
one-half of the grasses do not
show that they have received any
nitrogen. He further states that
ne thinks solid Nitrogen fertilizer
will be better for pasture plants
applied on top of the land. Mr..
Thomas has constructed w bitches
and is maintaining the old ter
races before breaking land. He
is blowing in low places out in
the fields which prevents them
from holding water and makes
better drainage.

Laying shelters provide low cost

Prices of livestock have risen
from their June lows and prices of
top grades are expected to remain
at a higher level than during re-
cent months.
With U. S. milk production this
year up over last year, most of the
increase is going into butter, pow
dered milk and cheese-pTOducts
being bought by the government
for price support.
Rough handling of livestock dur.

WILD HORSE CHASE

Adds ABABA (P)-If you are
adventurous and want to go on a
wild horse roundup in the clouds,
Ethiopia has just what you are look
ing for.
Between Adds Ababa and the
Red Sea towers fiat-topped Mt.
Kondudo, rising 10000 feet into
the sky. On its table top summit,
which often is wrapped in clouds,
roam hundreds-ahd maybe thous-
ands-of wild horses.
The Ethiopian government has
never sent an expedition up the
lofty mountain to investigate the
wild horse herds. Local inhabit-
ants say that one or two foreign
groups have made the attempt.
Situated in wild country, and
with a scorching desert to pass
through before reaching it, Mt.
KOndudo presents a stiff challenge
to any hardy and adventurous
mountain climbers who seek to
explore the secrets Of its herds
Of wild horses.
