Who's Got the Hay

VANCOUVER, Wash. R - The fellow who cut and stole the hay that William Ressiter wasn't raising may be in for something worse than a larceny charge if he's ever caught. He's run afoul of the federal government, no less. And ResSiter may have to explain to Uncle also.
 Ressiter owns 15 acres of crop land northeast of here. He put the tract into the governments soil bank program and was paid to seed it on condition that no crops be harvested.
 The thief didn't read this fine print. He cut, baled and hauled away the crop, volume unknown, said Ressiter to Sheriff Clarence Mckay. Now what does every one do?

Rye should be seeded between
October 10 and November at "a
bout 6 to Z pecks per acre when it
is to be used for grain. When rye
is used for pasture, the seeding
rate can be increased up to IL
pecks per acre and the time of
seeding can be as early as Sept.
l. Balbo and AbruZZi are the varie-
ties of rye that are recommended,
Ralph said.
For most satisfactory yields,
soils for wheat, oats and rye should
have a PHI of Sc or above and bar
ley a PHI of 60 or above.
Growers should be sure to take
soil samples and get their soil test
ed this fall SO that they will have
time to meet the lime and feri-
lizer requirements for their next
springs crops. 1t is not too early to
be thinking about next year when
we are dealing with factors such
as PHI and nutrient levels in our
soils the agent said.

further details concerning fall
seeding and other crop informa-
ton contact Ralph at 856-2553

Small Grain Seeding

Farmers who will be seeding
small grains this fall should be
thinking about the varieties and
planting dates that will give them
the best yields says Ed Ralph, asso-
ciate county agent.
Research has shown that varie-
ties and planting dates can make
difference so why not use the re-
search data that are available, the
agent asks.
The smooth varieties of wheat
(Tayland and Seneca) have yielded
we'll but are more susceptible to
scab than the bearded varieties I'M
der humid conditions. Smooth va
rieties should not be planted along
the coast because of frequent fog.
Wheat should be planted after Oct.
Is to avoid the danger of Hessian
fly using one of the following va
rieties - NuDel, Dual, Tayland or
Seneca, at the rate of to s pecks
per acre.
Barley should be planted early
in October. If planted too early,
too much growth may cause smoth-
ering If planted too late, the plants
may winterkill. Wong, Hudson or
Dayton varieties should be used at
the rate of pecks per acre.
Lee, lie Conte and Dubois are the
varieties of winter oats that are re-
commended They should be seeded
about September 25 to October 10
at the rate of s to 10 pecks per
acre

Prince Edward to operate public schools on an inte

The position Of Prince Edward is obundonty
clear - has been clear since immediately otter the
Supreme Court decision on May II, 1854 - publicly

into action in 1859. The action of Prince Edward
County is open book.

and their officials has been according to the lows of
the Commonwealth and those Of the United States
government. Controry-minded people question the
low Here the controversy rests. The Department of

needy, ask for its orders to end
the countys private school sys-
tenn and the present method of
financing them through both
state and county educational
grants.
Called Unlawful
The Department in effect
the U. S. government said
it was taking the last-named
action because the present cir
cUmstance of no public schools
and a private system attending
by whites only means:
The closing of public schools
to avoid compliance with a de-
segregation decree while schools
elsewhere in the state remain
open is an unlawful obstruction
to the carrying out of such de-
cree, and the diversion of state
funds from the closed schools to
privately operated segregated
schools is an unlawful circum-
vention of such decree"
Heretofore, the government has
entered school suits in friend of
the court" status. that is. as
legal advisor and definer of the
law. but without litigant status.
The petition Wednesday to enter
as co-plaintiff on the same
side of the issue as Negro pc
titioners would. if granted,
make the government a direct
itigant.
The Justice Department pc
tition explained to the court that
1t took the action to prevent:
impairment of the integrity of
the judicial process; the obstruc-
ton of the administration of JUS
tice, and the deprivation of rights
under the Constitution and laws
Of the United States"

failure to operate a system of
