mated that the population of the
United States will increase by
1875 to IT'S million people.
We must continue to be able
to feed and clothe these people
by growing food and fibre need
ed-so that we will not fall into
the situation that Europe is in
today.
We must be able to keep UP
with the needs of this nation so
that we will not become fertile
beds for communism-which is
the case of those countries who
have permitted their lands to be-
come worn out.
soil conservation is a neces-
slty," ne emphasized, and added
that he was glad to be able to
report that every acre in Mis-
sissippi is under Soil Conserve
ton district and that Holmes
County has always been one of
the leading counties in Soil Con
servation.
Prospects Good
Mr.. Corley said prospects were
good for a 100000 bale cotton
crop provided we get the usual
dry August and September. He
said we should nearly equal the
cotton crop of 1913.
He said there were eight to
ten OF the states counties, how
ever, which are in critical con-
dition due to drouth. He estimat-
ed there were at least 1900 fami-
lies in Quitman County that
would need relief because of al
most total crop failures.
Governor White on Tuesday
wired the President asking him
to put these counties on the roll
OF those entitled to emergency
relief-that is, buying feed and
grain at reduced prices and be-
ing granted loans over 3-year
period to help them get back on
their feet.
Mr.. Corley said he favored let
ting these people buy the sur
plus commodities at a reduced
price rather than let them re-
main in storage until thew are
spoiled as has happened in the
past.
Production Rising
Mississippi has made a splen-
did record in agricultural pro-
duction, the state official said.
In the beef cattle field the pro-
gress has been tremendous, he
said, and told about the highest
price bull in the world being
sold last year at the Senatobia
sale. $4,000 was paid for the
animal and people from AZ states
and four foreign countries at
tended the sale to buy breeding
stock that was raised on a Mis-
sissippi farm.
The same strides are being
made in dairying. he said. add
ing that dairy income was I'm
II per cent last year over the
state while general farm income
was up % per cent.
Total farm income in Missis-
sippi during 1852 was 6l5 million
dollars compared to 17e million
dollals for 1899. This is in spite
of the fact that we have lost over
10000 farms, and $1,000 tenant
farmers in the past few wears.
Although Mississippi has lie d
the southeastern states in pr
gress and though we are among
the first five states in the per-
centage Of increase we are still
at the bottom of the list in per
capita income, Mr.. Corlev said
and added that we still have a
long way to 90 to progress to the
point we desire.
But our people have new vi
sion and new courage, ne said
they are no longer afraid to in
vest their money in Mississippi.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Brannon Smith

We regard as trust" read
ing the daily reports of Victor
Riesel appearing in the Com
mercial-Appeal in his "lnsid'
Labor" column.
Mr.. Riesel, now in Europe
is sending dispatches that will
more fully inform his reader.
on what is really happening
in Europe and how it will af
feet America.
In his first account abroad
sent from Paris, Riesel re
veals that the Soviet govern
ment has been able to match
the production of the 5000
leading American industrie.
which hold prime Atomic
Energy Commission contract!
and that the Soviets have q
substantial stockpile of the
newest style A-bombs.
Riesel further reveals the
Soviets' slave labor system
has provided them not only
with atomic energy but it has
enabled them to match Ameri-
ca in the air, in artillery wea-
pons, submarines and the
guided missile field.
In other words: "The Rus
SLAMS have been able to match
the best we have in technol-
ogy and brain power - and
have outdone us in espionage.
They have ample uranium
supplies--and are killing their
miners in a drive for heavier
output. When they run out
of Europeans they just import
thousands of Chinese slave la
borers." These are Mr.. Riesels
words.
The Russians have been
able to bypass three years o.
h ard experimental work
which had to be done by
American and Allied scientists
on atomic energy.
They managed through the
Rosenberg spy ring and other
ways to secure, presumably
free, our vital information
which we won by toll and ex-
penditure of vast sums of
money.
Mr.. Riesel reveals that the
Russian A-bombs were built
under the direction of an TIA
Ian scientist, Bruno Pontecor-
vo, who slipped into Russia
an underground route
after working with Klaus
Fuchs in the center of British
atomic experimentation.
As the noted columnist said
we should realize that we
have only a two to three year
lead on the Soviets now on
the super H-bomb--and this
nay well be wiped out any
moment by what is left of the
Rosenberg Fuchs spy ring
operated so efficiently
FOR the Soviets in the early
40's. Only four in those spy
works have been executed or
jailed.
The writer concluded that
the sooner we (the United
realize our time for
tough bargaining is running
out, the better. If we don't, he
says, our friends will run out
on us, too.

Of American newspapers.
The foregoing paragraphs of
this column, in case you've
read thus far, were supposed
to have been printed last week
but we ran out of space.
Since the above was written
Mr.. Riesel has reaveled the
United States is storing its
considerable stock of A-bombs
abroad, in North Africa and
other points ringing Europe.
We are using locks on those
vaults where the bombs are
stored. The locks are made in
England but they are being
installed by French workmen
who belong to Communist
front labor organizations.
Reports are numerous of pic
lures being taken by French
worknnen of these storage
vaults.
This IS a remarkable situa-
tion-remarkably stupid.
How dumb can we get7
The Communists do not have
to accumulate a stock of A
bombs if they have the keys
to the vaults where Americas
bombs are stored.
Pearl Harbor, which could
Mt happen but did, will be
absolutely nothing compared
to TIE tragedy of Communist
power, Russian or otherwise.

The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1953-07-23

The foregoing disclosures
are enough to make us realize
we can't be too careful in in
vestigating any individual who
has anything to do with the
Atomic Energy Commission or
any other responsible govern
mental position.
Some patriotic, innocent
people no doubt have been,
and others will continue to be,
hurt. But in war like the
one we are fighting thousands
are being killed-and they are
innocent, too. of any wrong
doing. Their only crime is
they are not old enough
to vote lin most states) but
old enough to die for all of
US.
So let's not worry too much
about the "innocent people"
Sen. Mccarthy is reported to
be hurting and the alleged
good reputation" of the Unit
ed States he is supposed to
be smearing abroad by his
"witchJhunting" at home.
We personally are a great
deal more concerned by the
traitors among us who are a.
waiting only victorious Com
munist world revolution to
take over the United States.
Another thing we'd like to
get off our chest: We're glad
that someone else in the
United States Congress dis
covered there are Communists
in the United States.
For years our favorite, John
Rankin, was the only Con-
gresham in Washington who
knew there were active Com
munist agents in this coun-
try working for its downfall
and tried to do something
about it. And did.

ALBERTA INDIANS
HAVE GOOD YEAR

Lethbridge. - Southern ALDER
ta's Indian tribes are prospecting
especially the Bloods, southwest
of Lethbridge. The long open fall
has enabled the tribal band to
gather all their crops and har.
yesting is completed.
Wheat averaged rs bushels per
acre with some going as high as
Al bushels. There is storage of
new wheat amounting to 100000
bushels at farm headquarters on
the reserve near Cardston with
all under cover except 100, 900 bu.
shells.
Coarse grains turned out we'll
as did wheat and most of the for.
mer will be utilized for livestock
feeding. Five thousand tons of
native hay are on hand and the
Indians will be haying for some
time yet. A lot of hay will be
used for feeding the 1900 head
of cattle ranging on reserve land.
A lot of building has been
done this year on the Blood re.
serve, band money being used for
this purpose. Two $4,000 bushel
quonset type granaries were built
and 80 1,200-bushel granaries. The
sum of SIS, 900 was spent on a
seed cleaning plant. Twenty-Five
new homes for Indian families
have been built as we'll as an.
other home for agency headquar.
tiers.
The Blood Indians "a unit of
the Blackfeet Confederacy of the
early days, have the largest re-
serve in Canada and it has a pop.
ulation of 1900. The Indians are
progressive and are fast becom-
ing the wealthiest tribe in the do
minlon.
The Peigans at Brocket, also a
Blackfeet nation unit, run largely
to livestock. They. too, are pros
pering.
