Pesticides Get
Better Results

Gardeners will have more fun
and be better pleased when they
follow a regular program Of plant
protection based on today's mod
dern pesticides. More and more
people are realizing that a COM
plete year-round pest control
program makes for more beau
tiful flowers and bigger, better
tasting vegetables.
Here are four steps for sue
eessful pest control: Apply spray
or dust materials regularly; use
both insecticides and fungicides:
cover the plant surfaces COM
pletely; wash vegetables before
eating them.
Ideally, apply pesticides after
every rain to prevent diseases
from occurring.

GARDEN NEWS
By ALICE S. YOUNGMAN

More good things can be said
about daylilies (Hemerocallis)
than about any other perennial.
They are hardy. free-bloom-
ing, tolerant of soil and expo
sure. and immune to insects and
diseases. They require little care
and little or no fertilizer.
BY making a careful selection
of varieties, some plants will be
In bloom from April to october.
The daylily is an excellent
landscape plant. The fine green
foliage is with us all summer
making an excellent background
for other plants.
You may select a suitable size
for background planting or a va
riety that grows only s to 8
inches high for the front edge
Of the border. The largest ones
have a spread of 8 feet and
bear their blossoms on stems
3 to 4 feet tall. And, Of course,
there are many intermediate
sizes.
One of the especially nice
things about daylilies is the wide
color range - from pale yellow
through deeper shades Of yellow
to orange, buff, russett, mahog-
any and some shades of rose.
These lilies come in pure colors
or in combinations Of color and
in most interesting color pat
terms.
They will grow well in full sun
or light shade. A few will do
better in light shade because full
sun detracts from the delicacy
Of their coloring.

were un unsatisfactory as cut
flowers because they closed up ct

have been developed by the hy-
hridists.
Daylilies combine well with
other perennials especially those
with flowers In shades Of blue
and violet. Dutch iris, tall
bearded iris, and the Oriental
iris are especially pleasing to-
gether. For the later blooming
ones purple asters, blue empa-
torium and blue sage add a
pleasing color note.
Daylilies look well when
planted here and there in the

Be sure to give them enough

Between The Lines
THE OLD SOUTH IN STAMPEDE

There is something pathetic
and dangerous in the current eff
fort of the Old South to stave off
the inevitable. The Old, South
never kept faith with the Negro
and it never kept faith with its
separate but equal laws. 1t is
quickly pointed out that the sep
arate but equal laws met the re-
quirement of the Old South in its
program of segregation and dis
elimination. Had the Old South
lived up to the separate but equal
laws, matters would have been
tremendously improved beyond
their current wretched state. But
the separate but equal laws only
gave the South the opportunity to
deny finally the Negro his rights
as a citizen.
Ever since the enactment of
segregation laws in the South,
there has been the studied at
tempt to do as little for the Ne
gro as possible and consistent
with a modicum of self-reSoect.
AT every attempt of the Negro to
improve his lot politically and
economically and educationally,
the Old South baked badly. The
fact that the Old South is admit
ting that it will take millions If
not billions to equalize education
al opportunities for Negroes Just
goes to show how rerniss the Old
South was in its dealings with the
Negro. In fact there are evidences
that plans for an advancing Old
South almost left out the Negro
altogether.
He was not treated "as a part
OF the thing but as a thing
apart" to use one of Mamie Bur-
rough's pet expressions. The ma
tiveS of the Old South was such
that it was generally believed that
If was possible TO get up while
holding the Negro down, a thing
Booker T. Washington convinc-
ingly pointed out, in his day, that
could not be done. If then in
little more than half a century
the Old South could fall billions
of dollars behind in the educa-
tional advance of its Negro citi-
zens, it staggerS the imagination
to imagine how far il would have
fallen had not the NAACP in re-
cent years taken up the fight in
a collective way, that could not
have been done in an individual
way. The White man has taught
that such situations must be col
lectively and that is just what
the Negroes are doing henceforth.
It is a leaf from the White mans
own book.
If the Old South inclineS TO
stampede, ii has nobody to blame
but its blind leaders who inclin-
ed the Negrophobes 10 believe
that iniyuity could flourish for
ever. These same leaders would
have the Old South ignore the
possibility that even though school
facilities were equalized at pres
ent what guarantees are they Of
fering that they would stay equal
lied, by those who depiSe the
thought of equalization. But back
to the stampede that is in fun
swing.
Today we find such organiza-
tions among the stampeding Old
South as, The National Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF
White People, the Citizens Coun-
ellis in Alabama and Mississippi

deny the prerogative TO perma-
nently disfranchise the Negro cit
liens of this country. The organ

prophetic of others to come and

tralize each other. To organize a

pede!
A CORRECTION
In a recent release, we stated
that the Baptist World Alliance
did not take stand on race re-

American Baptist Convention, DR..
r. Dean Goodwin, writes me that
the Alliance went on record as
being "unalterably opposed to ra-
cial discrimination in every form. I"
The writer stands corrected and
as a Baptist takes great pride in
making this acknowledgement. We
did not read the account of the
above quotation but did read the
statement made in connection with
the statement of religious liberty
which we did not continue as a
fortnight stand on race relations.
We also stand corrected on our
release on Billy Graham who we
said has failed to take a stand on
race relations. We have facts to
show that he has said that race
determinations are sinful and we
are glad to make this correction.
