Red Custro's Threat to the Church

church. Students have noted
that Karl Marx is its old
prophet and Lenin the new.
Their writings constitute the
holy book of communism.
The mummified bodies OF
Lenin and Stain are its most
sacred relics. The dogma OF
communism provides a tai
lor-made answer for any
question and offers authority
to those who want to be told
what to believe and do.
Those Christians who hold
on, in the countries domi-
mated by Russia, are develop
ing, quite naturally, their
own theology. Dietrich
Ritschl, writing in the Chris
tian Century. says the East
ern Christians (of Czecho-
slovakia, Hungary and
Poland now assert that the
church has become middle

ing of guilt pervades them.
They now say the church
never seriously attempted to
heal national divisions, never
acted to stop wars, meyer

Some assert that Commu-
mist oppression is a scourge
of God-that the hour of
judgment has come. THE

acts of mercy which should

is the comment of Czech
Christians.
This reflects the shrewdly
conceived Communist twist.
But Western Christianity
will ignore this problem to
it's regret. Cuba is 80 miles
away from the United States.

the closing of churches, the

A great deal Of hope and
expectation is being placed
on the forthcoming visit of
President Kennedy to Paris.
where he will be the guest
of the redoubtable French
President Charles de Gaulle.
There is also a considerable
measure of grave concern lest
the encounter of the young
President and the old Presi-
dent lead to a disagreement
of major import to the free
world.
While it may seem. on the
surface, almost impossible
that the Constable of France
would be a major mover in
anything that might impair
the unity of the West in the
cold war, most diplomats
know full well that Gen. de
Gaulle's sentiments go far
beyond the mere facade of
Western unanimity in inter-
national affairs.
Gen. de Gaulle has made
1t abundantly clear, many
times over, that he diSlikes
the present structure of the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. He has also
blasted. in no uncertain Gal
lie terms, the existing Struc-
ture of the United Nations.
Perhaps, a few weeks ago,
the policymakers in Wash
ington and London and Bonn
could say reasSuringly that
Gen. de Gaulle was only one
man who was leading q di-
vided country. who had tre-
mendouS political opposition
in his bailiwick, and who
faced a desperately hostile
European people in the col
ons" of Algeria.

longer be said, and can no

NOTICE TO THE INSURANCE BUYING PUBLIC
BY WALTER DELL DAVIS, COMMISSIONER

The Department of Insurance has been deluged recently
by calls and letters from persons who cancelled their existing
automobile liability insurance policy in order to obtain a
policy with another company at a lesser rate. These people
find themselves in the unfortunate position Of having had
their new insurance cancelled or rejected because of the
insureds driving record, insecure financial status, under-age
drivers, etc. The person so involved then finds himself in
the position of having no insurance, and with a cancellation
or rejection on his record finds it impossible to again be
written voluntarily by the company with which he formerly
is to go into the Assigned Risk Plan, which means that
his liability insurance coverage will be placed in a company
method to write his particular policy. The Assigned Risk
Plan rates are as high as the manual rate, and sometimes
higher, based upon the insureds experience of accidents.

courts can prevent a COMPANY
from effecting cancellation under
the terms of the policy itself.
l must re-emphasize the i'm
portance Of knowing positively
that you can procure and retain
automobile liability insurance with
another company before cancellinq
or failing to renew the insurance
already in force.
The Insurance Commission
which has jurisdiction over auto,
mobile liability rates in this state
has recently announced approval
Of a safe driver or merit rating
plan, whereby the insured can
procure credit for safe driving
experience. Should your record he

reduced rate, approach your pre-
sent agent in regard to renewing
your policy under such plan. In
the event you r ineligible under
the safe drive plan with vour
present present agent, you have little
chance OF being accepted by a
company writing at a below
manual rate.

sidered desirable business by MANY
companies because of extreme
losses IN recent years. Do NOT

Cotton Farmers Urqed

age was taken in Jackson last
week as representatives OF key
agricultural groups began a cam
paign to urge farmers to release

A similar drive last year re-
suited in the release of some
49,, 759 acres for reapportionn-
ment on other farms in Missis-

acreage was wanted. OF tn
amount, "a 431 acres were re-
leased to the state ASC commit
tee for reapport'onmont to othe~
counties, and 98,328 acres wee
reapportioned wi h the county

HIT 81 MILLION BARRELS
By HEBER LADNER

The State of Mississippi pro-
duced during the year 1860 APP
proximately $1,000, 900 barrels Of
oil, which will exceed the pre-
vious high of 49,620,291 barrels
produced in 1859. A total of 649
wells were drilled in 1860; 286
we're completed as oil wells, 81
as gas wells, and 326 as dry
holes. Twenty-one new field dis
coveries were made in the state
to date, of which Is we're COM
pleted as oil discoveries and
three as gas discoveries. Wild
cat drilling activity has been
centered in the southwestern
part of the state. The counties of
Amite, Franklin, Lincoln, Pike,
Walthall, and Marion accounted
for ten of the new discoveries.

CORN
FOR OUR AREA

If you are going to plant corn
this year and are going to ferti-
lie for high yields Of corn say
rs to 100 bushels per acre it
would be advisable to plant by
brid corn. The following hybrids
are recommended for our area:
White Corn - Coker GIL,
Dixie SIS, Funks G-785-W. Pfister
PAG 6553-W.
Yellow Corn - Dixie %, Dixie
18, Dixie 80, Jackson, Funks
G-730, Pfister PAG 487, North
Carolina 288 and Funks G-740.
These are the only varieties
recommended by the Experiment
Station for our area. However,
there are lots Of other good va
rieties of corn that would yield
we'll in our area but are not
recommended for one or more
of several reasons. Some of the
reasons are: The stalks will not
stand up well in the field. The
grain is soft and allows weevils
to damage before harvesting. The
shucks do not cover end of ear

AS Commissioner OF Insurance,
| would urge all persons con-
templating changing their in
surance from one company to
another to analyze the situation
before making such a change. Be
sure hal you are eligible for the
type OF insurance written by a
company that offers a dividend at
the end of the year, or which dis

is available only to careful drivers.
people who drive only a little, and
people with clean driving records.
Even though unfavorable informa-
ton is withheld by the insured,
an investigation through the
various retail credit report chan
nels will reveal any unfavorable
driving experience, the presence of
under-age drivers, or chronic
alcoholism on the part of any
driver, and such information will
inevitably result in cancellation of
the policy. Following a cancel
lation, for any reason, it becomes
extremely difficult for the insured
to procure insurance from any
company. The public must UNDER
stand that q contract of automobile
liability insurance is simply a con-
tract between the insured and the
company, and the provisions of
the policy itself specifically pro-
vide for cancellation by either
party upon proper notice; neither

Jan. 81, DeadIine For
Agricultural Workers
To Report On 5. 5.

Farm operators are reminded
hat the January 81 deadline for
reporting their covered" agrl-
cultural workers is near at hand.
According to the District Man
ager of the Social Security Ad-
mlnistration, they have until this
date to file tax returns for their
employees, who in 1860 met the
agricultural work test.
To be covered a worker
must be in at least one of the
following categories:
L. Cash wages paid to him
by the farm operator must have
amounted to $3.50 or more dur
ing 1860. The wages do not in
clude such items as room and
board, clothing and other pay
ments in kind.
z. He must have worked in
at least 20 different days during
the year, for cash wages figured
on a time basis.
If a farm worker was a mem
Der of a crew, the crew leader
is usually responsible for report
ing him at this time. However,
IN many cases the farm opera
tor is the person responsible, if
such is the agreement between
him and the crew leader.
The District Manager stated
that for 1860, the social security
tax is six per cent with three
per cent deducted from the en-
ployee's wages and three pc
cent to be paid by the employer
This tax is figured on earnings
UP to $4,000 a year.

pULPWOOD PRODUCTION

The South's leadership in pulp
wood production is decisive.
Dixie harvested more in 1853
than all the rest of the United
States, more than any other sin
gle country, and more than any
other area of comparable size in
the entire world. Mississippi's
1859 pulpwood crop was valued
at $40,316,000 or seven per cent
bigger than the 1858 harvest.

COTTON SEED
FOR PLANTING

Let me urge you if you have
saved cotton seed to plant this
year to be sure and send off a
sample of your seed and get a
termination test run On them SO
that you will know the amount
of seed from a specific germi-
nation test you will have to
plant.
If your seed test as high as
30 per cent you certainly would
not need to plant as many seed
as you would if the termination
was as low as so per cent. From
seed already tested this year we
have seen termination as low
as Is per cent and as high as
IS per cent. If your seed should
test below SO per cent it would
be advisable to sell those seed
to an oil mill and buy new
planting seed.
Let me urge you to get q
representative sample of the
seed you have saved and send
them to the Seed Testing La
boratory, State College, Missis-
Sippi. You should receive your
analysis within a three week
period.

COTTON SITUATION
AND

Cotton disappearance is ex-

1960-61. Exports continue high
and are estimated at about 6.5
million bales for the 1960-61
season. AS a result carry-over
August l., 1861, is expected to
be about 70 million bales and
the smallest since 1854. This is
less than half the record high
of 14.5 million bales in 1856.
MississIppl's share of the 1861
cotton acreage allotment of 49,
458,434 acres is 1,761,717 acres.
This repre- entS an increase of
225 463 acres or about Is per
cent over 1860. Mississippi cot
ton farmers planted about SO
per cent CT the 1,536,254 acres
allotted to the state in 1860.
Growers who do not expect to
plant their 1861 allotments are
urged to release them to their
county committee to preserve
acreage history and prevent loss
to economy.
Cotton must be planted on the
farm at least one out of three
years if the allotment is to be
preserved.
For the 1861 crop there will
be no Choice A or B support
level, Legislation specifies one
support level between 70 and 90
per cent of parity. Also, the
quality to which the support
level applies is changed from
middling /8 inch to the average
quality of the crop. After 1861
the lower limit will be IS per
cent of parity.
The price of cotton is expect
ed to be supported between 10
rs per cent of parity. An an
nouncement will be made b.
