Tarburton Cops
Corn King Title
With Record Crop

John G. Tarburton not only
took the corn growing crown but
also broke the all-time record
for corn yields in the Delaware
Crop Improvement Association
contest with yield of 1856,
topping the l74.5 posted in 1856
by Marshall Wootten, Millsboro.
Tarburton was crowned at the
Capital Grange Hall in Dover
Tuesday evening before 258 peo-
pie attending the 50th anniver-
sary banquet of the D.C.LA.
Top soybean producer, Elwood
7. Fox, Jr., Bear, who produced
SIS bushels of soybeans per
acre in the contest, was crown
ed soybean king.
George M. Worrilow, dean of
the school of agriculture at the
University of Delaware, was
toastmaster and M. o. Pence,
extension agronomist with Pur-
due University, reminisced on
his early days here as the first
county agent in Kent County in
1914.
Other, leaders in the yield con-
tests were:
Corn-second to Tarburton, B.
Irving Armstrong, Middletown,
174.08 bushels; Roland Garrison,
Dover, 1887; Townsends, Inc,
1924; Daniel Harris, Newark,
l60.6l; Samuel Sloan, Lewes,
1854; L. M. Reichert, Town
send, 1854; and Raymond CHM,
Middletown, 1924. That makes
seven farmers with more than
$50 busels per acre in the con-
test.

Garden Tractors
And Rainy Days

How long did it take you to
get your garden tractor perco-
lating last spring? Blew a couple
gaskets you say?
Well, during the long cold
winter, George Vapaa, county
agricultural, says you might be
able to save yourself, or the gar
den tractor, depending on which
of you blow the gaskets, a lot of
strain next spring by tearing
yourself away from the televi-
sion and shaping up the old gar
den tractor for the spring work.
First off, Mr.. Vapaa says,
wash it. Get the old dirt and
grease off. Then, if it needs it,
paint it.
Now get after that motor.
Here we go.
/. Run the motor a few min
utes, then change the oil. Then
pour a little oil in the cylinder
through the spark plug hole.
2. Drain the gas out of the
tank and carburetor.
3. Clean and RECAP the spark
plug.
4. Put a light coat of grease on
the ignition points.
5. Grease the bearings and
other moving parts.
6. Last, take the weight off
the tires by blocking it up.

st. Louis, Sept. 5.-"Negroes will
probably be more influnced by
racial and civil rights issues in
1858 than in any election of re-

assistant to NAACP Executive

talk prepared for delivery at a
conference of the American Po-

today.
DR.. Morsell was scheduled to
speak on the Negro vote in the

Negro vote. The southern scene

national committees were also
scheduled to participate in the
session.
The emphasis on the civil
rights issue seems inevitable, DR..
MorSell said, mot only because
the threat to the New Deal pro-
gram now seems remote after
six years of a Republican admin
istration; but also because, at
the same time, the issues of
civil rights and racial diScrimi-
nation have been ever more
sharply joined.
"For three years now, "he con-
tinued, "a defiant S ut has
sought to check the Negroes pro-
greSS in it's FUN and final flood.
The signs are that this uncheck-
ed display Of crude political and
economic domination has pro-
duced an equally strong counter
reaction among Negroes in the
North as welll as in the South"

day $4,000 richer due to the
generosity of Mrs. Matte Dick
son. an 83-year-old retired do

cutive secretary, flew here to re-
ceive the check at a brief pre-
sentation ceremony at the Downs

I'm giving this in Gods name
to fight against the disgraceful
abuse of American democracy"
Mrs. Dickson said in making the
presentation. II mean" she add
ed, whats happening at Little
Rock where the NAACP is carry
ing on the fight to see that all
youngsters are treated alike. I
mean what they did to Rev. Mar
tin Luther King in Montgomery
and to Jimmy Wilson in Ala

In accepting the contribution,
Mr.. wilkins expressed the As
sociation's appreciation for the
gift which is one Of the largest
the NAACP ever received from
an individual. He praised Mrs.
Dickson for her generosity and
her dedication to the fight for
freedom, which, he said, is a
struggle of the spirit as we'll as
of legal rights.

Ike Urged To Denouce Police Attack On
Dr. Martin Luther King

New York, Sept. 4.-Roy wilkins,
executive secretary of the Nation
al Association for the Advance

called upon President Eisen-
hover to express "the indigna-
ton felt by every decent Ameri-
can" at the arrest and treat

In a telegram dispatched today
to the President at Newport, r. l.,
Mr. wilkins said THAT the man.

ed the nation and demands in
the minds of millions of Ameri-

Previously, the NAACP leader
had wired Mr.. King assuring him
of the Associations support. The
NAACP, he said, "along with the
rest of the nation is outraged at
the treatment Of you by the
Montgomery police. We t a n d
ready to assist in any way to our
maximum ability"

MAINTAINING yesterday of Rev.
Martin Luher King by police in
Montgomery, Ala, has shocked
the nation and demands in the
minds Of millions of Americans
a rebuke from the Chief Exc
ecutive. DR.. King is distinguish
ed citizen of the country. A man
dedicated to non-violence a nd
peace, but with a passion for
justice for his people. That he
should be subjected to the indig-
mites reserved for hoodlumS and
criminals is an outrage and an
affront to the American sense of
fair play. This occurrence in the
midst of a wave of acts ofnaked
oppression by state and local
governments and of indictments
to violence by governors n d
others against Negro citizens
would seem to require from the
highest place a statement re-
flecting the indignation felt by
every decent American.
DR.. King, who led the success

Montgomery in 1856, was arrest

Every now and again some
thing dramatically points up
the need for a human relations
committee or commission in a
city like Phoenix where things
can happen because people real
ly don't know often the possible
results of their actions, and
where people are much more
eager for fair treatment Of all
citizens than would appear from
the unpleasant and sometimes
humiliating things which mi
nority peoples often face.
AS a school principal frustrat-
ed in my efforts to get the work
for my young people, which they
were quite capable Of doing, I
began to oppose the staging of
minstrel shows because I felt
very sure they contributed to
the unfortunate notions often
held about Negroes. Happily, I
had most encouraging success
both in my efforts working
alone and after I was able to
associate with me other mdi-
viduals and organizations. Many
of the people involved in the
promotion of minstrel shows,
always ''for good causes" have
been so definitely convinced of
the harm these performances
do to mutual interracial respect
and understanding that they
have associated themselves with
our friends in helping us to get
advance notice of preparations
for minStrels and helping to
discourage tn cir performance.
True, many people still think
minstrel shows are just "good
wholesome fun" but they often
find strong opposing sentiment
right within their own groups.
Minstrel shows are definitely be-
coming unpopular as entertain
ment.
Recently there was announc-
ed in the press that a motion
picture was to be shown for its
