LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Pond AIooe Is a Food Problem
BY JAMES BIRcHFlELD

Frank Harper over at the
Soil Conservation Service sent
me a message from Lawrence
Compton. the services chief
biologist.
Mr.. Compton said it may be
true that nature provides the
algae in ponds. but that too
much of it Is not good-gives
too much protection for the
small fry.
The trouble with farm ponds
is that they have to be kept in
tune, Just like the family piano.
and if they get out Of pitch,
then you don't get the kind
of fish you want for the Sunday
dinner table.
Mr.. Compton explained that
If there is too much algae on
the pond, then too many fry
provide too few dinners for the
larger fish. That means that
you end up with too many fish
In the pond and since there can
be food enough for only so
many, the fish you have never
get large enough to provide
good sport in the catching or
good eating at the table.
Better get rid of some Of the
algae, he advised. if you want
good big bass and bluegills.
Just for good measure. Frank
included a bulletin on fish ponds
and I find that I first have to
determine the kind of algae I
have before I can do anything
to get rid Of it.
If mine is single filament
algae, then copper sulfate will
do the job. But If mine is the
branched filamentous algae. then
I have to wait until the scientists
learn how to control it. The bull
letin says this is now under
study.
Meanwhile. I'll toss in a little
extra fertilizer and hope that the
water will remain dark enough
to discourage the growth of
oxygen-robbing plants on the
ponds bottom.

Seems like the weather can't
get in balance this spring Could
be that we are in for another
summer like the one Dick Downs
was telling me about the other
day.
Dick said he could remember
a year there wasn't any summer
in Loudoun County. 1t stayed
cold all year long.
Dick said he couldn't remem-
Der the date. He was a small
boy. and the one thing that i'm
pressed him was seeing men in
overcoats threshing wheat.
I marvel at how the clover

which the modern cultivated
varieties were developed. It ex-
plains the difference between a
BURBERRY and a huckleberry.
The blueberries we think of are
those blueberries and huckle-
berries that have many very
small, soft seeds in contrast to
the true huckleberry which has
10 large, bony seeds.
The bulletin is we'll illustrated

grows at my place. The only
trouble is that it doesn't grow
where it ought to.
Instead of growing in the pas
lures. it seems to like the drive
way. 1t seems to like to come up
through the gravel.
So maybe I'd better rock over
the two front pastures. Then we
will have good hay crop for a
change.

A Message To Congressman
Adam CLAYTON Powell

In the north Negro leaders, and organizations such
as the National Association for the Advancement of
Coored People, whose real leaders the so-called
northern Negroes, express their primary concern
the welfare aid and advancement of the the southern
Negro although for the most part their knowledge of
the realities of the South and of the southern Negro in
his relations too and with southern white people is at
best very limited, if for other than that of
being seen from afar.
Now comes Congressman Adam Clayton Powell of
New York showing for the southern Negro but
handicapped by viewing the conditions they effect the
southern Negro from affair." having obtained conference
with President Eisenhower to discuss ntegration of
southern public schools
On the orders of President Eisenhower federal troops
in Little Rock Arkansas to protect Negro stu
dents involved in Indignation effort with the net eff
fect of the presence of the federal troops in the light
the past history of the South and of the nation being
a deepening of the anomosties towards Negro and
widening of the gulf between responsible Negro and
white leaders at the southern Community levels, who
must be brought together before anything good be
accomplished effecting the community life
The need for his daily bread, the right to live and
within the community without fear and the fact
that the southern Negro has neither the economic indie
pendence, political power which to sustain
contrary course leaves him totally dependent in
terracia goodwill. Interracia goodwill for the south
ern Negro is need that is present. urgent, inn
mediate and continuous.
In another period in southern history when federal
troops sent to the south behalf of the Negro,
sensing his utter dependence he for time able to
look hopefully at the promise of forty and mule
1t seems now however in the efforts to drive the
southern Negro into head-on conflict with his white
neichbors attention is being given to his total de-
pendence.
Much is being said about the need for desegrega-
ton in the United States because of the demands of
foreign relations and the effect upon the nations stand
ing leader of the democratic world No one will
doubt the truth of these demands but such demands
not urgent and immediate that they will not allow
such time will inevitably indicate when responsible
southern white and Negro leaders will come to work
together for the best interests of the community the
state and the nation.
In the light of the above think the best thing
that Congressman Powell do, and before his
fixed date to meet the President if he is really
ed about the welfare aid and advancement of the south
Negro is urge the President to withdraw the troops
from Little Rock and keep them out of the South
the time cannot be too long before Negro and white
southerners of goodwill will be found working together
to solve the problem in the best interest of the
ity, the state, and the nation.

Not Our Sentiments

Since the famous (Sachmo) Louis Armstrong made
his remarks concerning the government few days
have received anonymous letters and telephone calls
asking in effect why have not expressed editorial
opinion on the subject.
In the first place say here that because of
great admiration for him, and appreciation of the
great amount of good that he could do in helping the
Negroes of the nation in maintaining the kind of
ationship with their white neghbors out of which the
future advancement of the both in civil rights and
economic opportunities must come, startled by
the vehemence of his statement and perhaps for the
moment left stunned for words.
However, say here and that the remarks
made by the great Satchmo concerning the United
States government in way expression of our
sentiments
Our main reason for not harborng in any way wise
the sentiments expressed by the great Sachmo and
that surely must should have long become observable
to him in the wide world travels that he has made in
his fabulous is this fact that the American Ne
go looking both at the past and towards the future is
better off, in every respect than any group of Negro
people anywhere in the world living in the midst of
white people, and better off than group of Negro
people living under any other condition anywhere In
the world.
