MI. Berry. With regard to the water program, at the
present time that is handled not by VICORP but that is
handled by the Virgin Islands Government Is that right?
Mr.. Bartlett. That is correct.
They are responsible for the catchment areas, the
collection and Importation and distribution.
Mr.. Berry. Then il VICORP took over q part OF this
water provision program, you would have to sell the water
that you produce at less, or cost, would you not?
Nr. bartlett. That is correct
It is contemplated to establish a contract with the
Virgin Islands Government to purchase the water at cost,
including depreciation, amortization and overhead.
Mr.. Berry. So if there were a loss in the n~lanufac-
sure Of the water, the Virgin Islands Government and not
VICORP would take the loss?
Mr.. Bartlett. That is correct. sir.
MI. Berry. Do youthink you would be able to sell
all you could manufacturer?
Mr.. Bartlett. Yes, sir.
Mr.. Berry. Without a subsidy from the Govern
Mr.. Bartlett. Perhaps not. No, not definitely without
a subsidy, or an increase in price by the Government e
their consumers.
Mr.. Berry. / think that is all.
Mr.. OBrien. Mr.. UT?
Mr.. Utt. I have no questions.
Mr.. OBrien.t Mr., Collier?
Mr.. Collier. No questions.
Mr.. OBrien. Thank you very much, DR.. Bartlett.
Mr.. Bartlett. Thank you.
Mr.. OBrien. I just have one question. You men
toned that private enterprise SHE'D away a little bit, and
i can understand that. Do you think their interest would
be whetted a little bit if we went through with this
water proposal in the proposed new bill? Is not their fear
primarily Of a drought
Mr.. Bartlett. Yes. OF course, that would not affect
the agricultural operation on St. Croix in any way.
Mr.. OBrien. It would not?
Mr.. Bartlett. It would not; no, sir. 1t is primarily
for domestic water for the island Of St. Thomas.
MI. OBrien. Do you believe if the pilot plant pro-
iect referred to by Mr.. UT were worked out it could lead
to greater development there?
Mr.. Bartlett. Of course, it would depend upon what
price we could purchase the irrigation water for. It comes
down to a matter Of dollars and cents.
Mr.. OBrien. I thought Mr.. TIT brought out a very
good point yesterday when he said we are having these
experiments and studies, and that here is an opportunity
to have a pilot project where the products would be used
right away. That could very we'll bring the answers in

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Saturday.
Dr.. Miller. Yes.
Mr.. Aspinall. That does not take into consideration,
thoughSthose people who are working on various plots OF
land which have been assigned them. They are al work
ing2
Mr.. Bartlett. That is correct. Andit does not take into
consideration the labor which they use also.
Mr.. Aspinall. This is just the imported labor for
harvesting?
MI. Bartlett / am talking about the imported labor
for harvesting, which is for a period OF approximately 100
days. This year it is 20 days. Ordinarily it runs q hundred
days.
Or. Miller, Can you tell me anything about the NUM-
Der Of Puerto Ricans that might be in St. Croix, IN parti-
cular engaging in the sugar cane business?
Mr.. Bartlett. The Puerto Rcans would probably
outnunber the natives in quantities produced but not IN
total numbers producing. There are a number Of Puerto
Ricans who have farms Of 20, 80 or 40 acres, which think
would at.least equal the entire native production.
Ofcourse, the Puerto Ricans now, many Of them are
natives, are considered natives They have been born
there and have been absorbed into the community. So IT
isa little a question Of TECHNOLOGY when you speak OF
Puerto Ricans as against natives.
DR.. Miller. 1t occurs to me the overall acreage OF
around 5000 acres is not a very large acreage compared to
what we run through our sugar beet plants in California,
Colorado and Nebraska. If we do not get a hundred thou
sand acres signed up you probably lose your plant.
Mr.. Bartlett. There is a definite problem in the
operation Of the plant with the volume of cane which we
grow.
Dr.. Miller. Would you be able to handle 10000
acres if it were available?
Mr.. Bartlett. Possibly not as much as that, but we
could handle certainly up to, / would say-We would want
for the plant think il / answered on a plant basis it
would be better. We would certainly be able to process
through the plant economically 10000 to 100000 tons OF
cane, and we could average about 30 tons per acre.
DR.. Miller. Your average is about half of that now?
Mr.. Bartlett. No Last year was an extremely good
year. We actually ground 1872 tons Of cane. This year we
will grind less than 70 tons. Our estimates are about
$4,000 tons Of cane for this year.
DR.. Miller. About half?
Mr.. Bartlett. About half, Or a little less than half Of
what we had last;year
DIR. Miller. That is all.
Mr.. OBrien. Mr.. Berry.
Mr.. Berry. was wondering this: If you were per-
mitted d larger allotment Of sugar-frst, do you fill your
allotment under the Sugar Act?

Safety Precautions For Dry and Dusty Roads

The last dry spell at Nome caused one serious traffic ac- cident and several close calls. All drivers are urged to observe the following precautions when the roads are dry and dusty: l. Drive slowly - this will en- able you to avoid accidents and reduce the amount of dust you create for others to drive through.
 2. Do not follow the car ahead of you as close as you normally would.
 3. Come to a stop when ap- preaching large trucks-they will blind you.
 4. Slow down when approach ing any vehicle or a dust cloud left by someone else.
 5. Keep your windshield clean "a dirty one will catch the sun and blind you.
 6. Remember-the speed limit depends on the condition of the road. The maximum speed limit of fifty miles per hour does not apply when road conditions are bad, the safe speed limit on all roads near Nome is thirty-five miles an hour or less when wis ibility is obstructed.

Judge Bans Negroes
 From Little Rock School

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, R - An Arkansas Federal District Judge Saturday ruled that racial in tegration at embattled Little Rock Central High School could be supended until 1861.
 U. s. Ditrict Judge Harry J. Lemley of Hope said in his order, received by mail in the district clerks office here, that the Little Rock gradual plan for de- segregation could be suspended for 215 years without the school being considered collectively or individually, in contempt of this court"
 Lemley, "A, heard the boards petition for suspension in court here June 3-5.
 His ruling means that the seven Negro student still enrolled in the 2,000-pupil school at the con- clusion of the past school year will be banned from Central this September.
 In New York, the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People who opposed the suspension, aid notice of appeal would be filed promptly.
 Wayne Upton, president of the school board, expressed pleasure at the judges decision. T feel we made a strong case, and I am quite well pleased with the re- suits of the hearing"
 In Washington White House press secretary Hagerty referred inquiries about the ruling to the Justice Department. A spokes- man for the department, however pointed out that it has not partic- ipated in the case on which Lem ley ruled and declined comment
 Upton and other board wit nesses told Lemley at the hear ing here that racial incidents continued in the halls of Central throughout the past school year despite the presence of federal troops. They said they saw noth- ing to indicate the situation would change this September if the Negroes were allowed to return
 The school board president said the board based it's request for g 212 year suspension in part or the fact that Gov. Orva1 Faubus may no longer be governor 1T 1861.
 Faubus, now seeking Democrat, ic renomination, would complete third term in office-if re-elec. ted-by 1861. Arkansas has nev- CT elected a governor to fourth term.

An Evergreen Shrub
Rosemary is a perennial
evergreen shrub belonging to
the mint family which is ma
tive to the Mediterranean
countries but is cultivated in
Europe as well as in the

mary rarely produces seeds,
and Il very slow to germi-
nate, it is advisable to OBJ

nursery. Two or more years
is required before rosemary
blooms. but the mass Of pale

the plant with burlap. This

Like so many Of the herbs.
rosemary likes poor dry
chalky soil. At least twice a
year lime should be dug in
around the roots. After the
first year it is advisable to
prune back the branches sew
eral inches once or twice a
season to give it more SYM
metry.
The smaIl narrow green
leaves have a definite spicy
odor and when you brush
past a rosemary plant in
your garden it gives of a
lovely pungent aroma. We
usually dry the leaves from
the pruning and sometimes
it is nice to tie them in small
cheesecloth bags and keep
them in the closet. This not
only adds a pleasant scent
but is a good moth preventive.
Rosemary plants grow quite
large, so be sure to allow
ample space for them to
spread. In many of the lovely
gardens in Virginia rose
mary is planted as q hedge,
as is lockwood or hyssop. If
you do this, it should be
planted Q feet apart to make
a dense shrub.
