Burn Cross On
Property Of
PTA President
Backed School
IntegratiOn Decision

Milford, Del. Jan. a - A cross
was burned last week on the prop
erty of Robert Jaquette, who pro-
tested the Milford School Boards
ban against its athletic teams play
ing nonsegregated teams.
Jaquette, president of the Mil
ford High School Parent Teachers
Assn, said he interpreted the Incl
dent "as the response of some per-
sons in the community to my stand
that since the law of the land
provides for racial Indignation in
the schools, making it (the law
effective is the duty of all good
citizens"
Jaquette and his wife were not
home at the time of the cross burn
ing. He said he was summoned
home by his four children. They
told him they noticed motorcade
of cars passing in front of the
house before the incident.
Jaquette suggested in letter to
the PTA that it back student pro-
test of the School Boards policy
of nonintegrated athletic competl-
ton.
The present school board restor-
ed a segregation policy in Milford
schools after the old board resign
ed in the wake of protests over the
admission of II Negroes to Milford
schools last year.
Police are investigating the cross
burning.

Phi Beta Sigma

LOUISVILLE, Ky. The 41s'
Anniversary Conclave of Phi Beta

four-day meeting last Tuesday
December 81, 1866. The theme OF
the Conclave was Full Pledged
Freedom for Every American Cit
izen." DR.. George G. Iggers, Pro-
fessor of Foreign Languages and
Literature at Philander-S Smith Col
lege of Little Rock, Ark, was the
conclave speaker. Bushes SEES

Church last Wednesday, December
% before a crowd of one thousand
citizens Of the city, DR.. Iggers told
those present that while there has
been tremendous progress in race
relations in this country in the last
decade and half, the end of legal
segregation must not be confused
with the thorough Indignation of
Negroes into American life.

educator, ain regards to his rights

front of the bus and to send his
children to the nearest school, will

Farmers Told To
Top Dress Ryegrass
Al Proper Time

Young ryegrass, just germinat-
ing, should not be top dressed with
nitrogen until late winter or early
spring, according to w. r. Thomp-
son, Extension agronomist.
1.-THE ryegrass can be damaged
by the nitrogen, if top dressed
while too young" he said. IF /
were choosing a time to top dress,
/ would do it the last week of Feb
ruary."
Management of yong clover and
legume areas is important, the pas
ture specialist stated. Clover, vetch
and winter peas just coming up are
delicate until they become estab-
lished. Heavy concentrations Of
cattle on these young plants can
cause a lot of damage.
Lespedeza seed is in better sup
ply than in recent years, he said.
Now is the time to plant lespedeza
on land where it has faded out
and on new land going in.1 sum-
mer pasture.
He also stressed the need for
hill farmers to cut cotton stalks,
even where the land is not to be
plowed up now.
"Cotton stalks seem to decay
more on top of the ground than if

Stevens has faith that enough of
these measures will be followed to
return cotton to a sound economic
crop that will continue to occupy
the primary spot in Mississippi
paintings.
Not Worried About Abundant Pork
Though pork prices are down and
hog population is at peak, Stew
ems believes the hog business is
stable enough in Mississippi - for
bonafide farmers, of course. Poul-
try enjoyed a fairly prosperous
year in 1866 and prospects for '56
are encouraging. The timber sit
uation, he maintains, is in health
Ter position than it has been for
many years with high lumber prices
and more emphasis on profitable
diversion of acres.

War;. We did that, he said, and
the return to peace left an expen-
sive, geared up farming system
that couldn't cut back production
arbitrarily.
Among the recommendations cur
rently being made by the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau are:
/. Make cotton price support
level reflect the average grade.
2. Study method of calculating
parity for cotton.
8. Increase research for cotton.
4. Mandatory labelling of textile
fiber products.
S. Textile imports subject to
limitations.
6. Further reduction of produc-
ton and CCC surplus stocks (the

all farming operation. Current
cattle prices are fairly good. Even
current low pork prices have fail
ed to upset the beef business.
Dairy Situation Bright Too
1856 has been a year Of prog
ress for dairying. A year ago a
surplus of milk and dairy products
plagued the industry. Today, con-
sumption has increased and stocks
in storage are on the way out.
A constant ray of cheer for the
dairyman is the fact that the av-
erage U. S. family realizes it has
scrimped on the milk budget. A
stepped up advertising program
points out the fact that even adults
need three glasses of milk per
day. Television advertising by
Walt Disney films has added to
the emphasis of milk consumption
in the U. S.
Milk prices have held up fairly
we'll for the dairyman and the flu
ture remains bright with an in
creasing population and more en-
phasis on milk consumption.
Cotton-PrOblems to Solve
Despite the most critical cotton
situation in history, Stevens be-
lieves the Mississippi farmer will
keep cotton at the helm of this
states economy. Summarizing
some of the ills of the industry
Stevens reports that U. S. cotton
acreage has been cut back drastic

Federation, believes that we are
entering a period when good farm
ers will earn good incomes and
inefficient farmers will fall by
the wayside and enter some other
profession.
Evidence that this trend already
has begun, Stevens points out, IS
the report of the 1854 census OF
agriculture which points out that
since 1850 the number of Missis-
sippi farms has shrunk by 3d.
432 - or an average of 432 farms
per county in Mississippi. Many of
these farm operators have dropped
out of the business, Stevens said,
because of the fall in farm prices
during the past several years.
Postwar neutrality-suspicious. or
part-time farmers are getting out
of the business now that the time
of sure returns has passed.
What does this mean? Let's
take beef cattle for instance:
Right after World War II there
was furry among businessmen
with money to invest who consid-
cred livestock farming as the best
route to a profitable sideline. This
was true for a spell. Then prices
started down as beef numbers in
creased. Many such investors
bought into the business during
high prices. Falling prices hurt
them. They got out.
Most of the spectators are out
now. Bonafide farmers now are
carrying on a moderately prosper

Sion"
Another management item is
sued to farmers by Thompson is
not to sub-soil land while wet.
Land should only be sub-soiled
where a hardpan is present.
"You can tell if hardpan is
present by examining the roots to
cotton stalks. If the roots spread
out close to the top of the ground
and do not pentrate deep, it is
likely that a hardpan is present.
Another method of determining if
a hardpan is present is to dig down
with a shovel and check for the
depth of the soil"

housing, economic and education
opportunities for generations to
come even if he may enjoy
slightly larger share of Ameri-
can prosperity than in the past"
Iggers stressed the INTERROGATION
of the defense of our traditional
An erican Civil Liberties with the
struggle for Negro equality. He
discussed at length the case of Carl
Braden, white Louisville news re-
porter, who was convicted to a 10
year term under a Kentucky sedi-
ton statute after having bought
house in a white neighborhood
for a Negro family. "The point
is" Iggers said, "that none ac-
cused Braden of bungling the house
or of actively conspiring to over
throw the government, but that
under a vaguely worded law he
was convicted of holding certain
unpopular opinions. The college
professor further asserted: eff he
retical opinions are the basis OF
legal prosecution, then all of US
who see flaws in the status quo
are threatened with Imprisonment"
Finally, Iggers called on the fra
ternity to support the NAACP, to
challenge segregation practices, to
establish closer cultural ties with
the white community, and to pro-
vide scholarships to train students
for areas of employment not ira
ditionally open to them"
Business And Social Activities
Aside from the regular business
of the Conclave which included dis
cussions of the fraternity's Bigger

The '55 yield per acre of All
pounds is the largest in history.
The supply this season is an all
time high of 26 million bales with
an all time high carryover esti-
mated at Is million bales.
Aggravating the situation is a
critically tagging export situation
with rs exports likely to be the
lowest in 100 years except for war
years. Low-cost synthetic fiber
production doubled in the period
1949-54 - amounting to mil
lion bale equivalent competition for
raw cotton.
What will be done about the
situation? To this question Stew
ems describes the position of the
5000 Mississippi Farm Bureau
members who state their recon-
mendation thusly:
;. High cotton production
costs, brought about by government
action in minimum wages, tariffs
and other concessions to labor and
industry, so handicap the U. 5.
producer that he is unable to make
the necessary price adjustments to
meet this competition alone. Since
the situation is primarily the re-
suit of government action, partic-
ularly the restrictive sales policies
of the State Department, govern
ment must assume it's share of the
pricing necessary to recapture and
maintain our share of the world
cotton industry.
Stevens explained that cotton
farmers were asked several years
ago to gear for higher production

a public relations phase to cover
up a rather un-enlightened selfish
ness.
II can tell you how these words
sound in the ears of one man who
hears with some frequency rather
intelligent people say that we
should treat one race of people
with greater tolerance because If
we do not the Communist will get
