TroublemakerS have difficult time
finding welcome anywhere. This is true
whether they be in Alabama, New York,
California, or elsewhere
Such a group, as we all know, is now
involved in a tour of certain states. Those
in the caravan call themselves freedom
riders" but the truth of the matter is
that they don't actually know the real
meaning of freedom. Their warped minds
have failed to grasp the true implications
of the American concept of liberty and
democracy.
The tragedy of the whole matter IS
that there are some who would encour-
age sympathetic attitude toward those
instigating strife and dissension. A large
portion of he press in our country, eS-
pecially the wire services-Unlted Press
international and Associated Press, has
on numerous occasions been guilty OF

EDITORIAL COMMENT
EXHIBITIONISTS FIND NO
REAL WELCOME ANYWHERE

breach of ethics in the reporting of such
sordid affairs.
Many commentators and reporters,
supposedly dedicated to objectivlty, have
both implied md openly maintained that
the recent actions opposing the freedom
riders" tended to deprive them of their
rights These same individuals are ap-
parcnrly conrending that such exhibition
ism, regardless of its intent or ramifica-
tions is iustifiable under our legal system.
Those who are dedicated to promoting
trouble and turmoil are not entitled TO
customary constitutional guarantees. No
p@raon d-serv-s protection and special
privileges when he IS simply attempting
to gain attention, regardless of its effects.
There cen be little doubt that the free
dom riders should be dealt with in
severe manner.

Issues Final Call
For Corn Farmers

LJ iii Jordan, Chairman OF
the Holmes Agriculture Sta
bilization and Conservation
County Committee, issued the
final call this week to farmers
who normally produce corn
and grain sorghum. The final
date for such farmers to par
ticipate in the 1861 Feed Grain
Program is June l, 1861.
eve feel that the Congress
has put a law into effect that
can materially reduce the
grain and at the same time
increase the farmers income"
Mr.. Jordan said.
Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman has announced that
he plans to release govern
ment-owned grain on the mar
ket in such quantities as are
necessary to mold the market
price Of corn to around $1.00
per bushel.
Wit. corn selling at $1.00
a bushel, Mr.. Jordan said,
I'VE believe that it would be
to the advantage Of even
farmer who normally uses all
the corn that he produces to
divert at least the minimum
acreage under the program
and then buy corn on the open
market. Such a farmer, by CO.
operating in the program,
Mr.. Jordan continued, "is as
sured Of a specific ncome and
eliminates the production ha-
yards Of unfavorable weather,
insects, ETC."
ii Holmes County 123 far
mers have already signed up
under the 81 Feed Grain Pro
gram to divert 3088 acres Of
corn and grain sorghum. In
return these farmers will re-
ceive approximately $50, 100000.
Most have already received
UP to half Of the total payment
that will be earned by them
as cooperators in the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Jordan said that in
terested farmers, or all far
mers who produce eligible
feed grains, should go by the

my relations with him have
found him a gentleman in all
the word implies. A great man
is one who lives for others,
loves humanity, helps the poor

sad and bleeding hearts. Mr..
Ellison has done all Of this.
He has been a wonderful bene-
factor to his community and
a blessing to his felloWman.
He has been a good citizen, an
ideal neighbor, has led a life
that is worthy of emulation,
has prospered because he had
a magnanimous heart, and
now in the evening of his long
life, commands love and es-

Garden Insects
Take a close look in your
garden for insects damaging
your vegetables. Malathion
and SEWN dust or wettable
powder will control most in

You can eat your vegetables
in days after using. How
ever. be sure and wash your
leafy vegetables several times
before cooking.

Cotton

COCtOn-
If you haven't planted all of
your cotton yet or if it is ne
cessary to plant over due to
not having a stand it IS still
not too late to expect a normal
production of cotton if you
have enough moisture to bring
up the seed within 5 to 10 days
after planting. At this late
date don't plant cotton seed
not properly treated, if you
do you are liable to wind up
with a bad stand next plant
ing.
In planting at this time,
whether drilling or hill drop
ping, be sure and plant plen-
ty of seed. Try to plant them
deep enough to be in moist
soil. Then if we get heavy
rains you will possibly have
enough seed to come through
the packed soil.
Spraying Cotton - We GER
tainly want to urge you to
spray your late planted cotton,
particular for thrips as soon
as it comes out of the ground.
No insecticide can do the job
for you unless you use it pro-
perly. Put the poison on the
cotton right, at the right time,
and in the right amount. Don't
wait to see thrip damage.
Spray Immediately after cot
ton emerges from the ground.
Make sure you use the correct
nozzle tips, preferably a No.
3 tip. Apply from Il to 2 gal
Ions per acre of the mixture.
Your tips should be approx
mately 7 to s inches above top
of your cotton with approx
mately 40 pounds of pressure.
On a windy day it may be
necessary to lower pressure
to 80 pounds. Always use clean
water when mixing insecticide
sprays. Keep your machine
clean. Old pond water and
branch water will certainly
clog up your spray machines
and give you trouble all year.
Older Cotton = With dry
weather in our area | certain
" think it would be advisable
to also spray your older cot
ten for thrip. With the grass
and weeds at the end of row
drying rapidly thrip are leav--
ing the older, tougher grasses
and weeds and feeding on
your young, tender growing
cotton. You may use the fol-
lowing insecticides:
l gallon dieldren mixed
in enough water to cover
25 acres of cotton.
gallon endrin mixed in
enough water to cover "A
acres of cotton.
l gallon toxaphene mixed
in enough water to cover
z acres of cotton.
Either of the 8 poisons men,
toned will do an excellent job
of controlling thrip if applied
properly. Dieldren cost much
less per acre than the other
two.
Cut Worms - It seems that
cut worms are becoming a
problem in cotton at this time.
It would be advisable to check
your fields closely particularly
around the edges of pasture,
weed fields and etc. Toxa.
phene, dieldren and er1drin
will also kill cut worms. If
spraying for cut worms the
correct dosage is as follows:

with enough water to COW

BRUSSELS, Sept. 81 (AP).-
The Council of Ministers of the
European Common Market to-
day decided to invite Denmark
to send a delegation to Brus-
sells to discuss its application

Denmark is the second men,

The Outer Seven. officially
known as the European Free

I wish to advise you, Sir,
that the people of the Virgin
islands ARE CONCERNED
about the operations of the Vir
gin Islands Corporation. They
deserve better treatment, and
are demanding that improve
ment be shown. Heretofore,
the public has been fed SO
many press releases promising
improvement, only tofind
themselves in in the same off
again, on-again situation, that
it behooves VICORP now to
give consumers meaningful as
surance of improver service
Because the r~ate-making acti-
vities attending the proposed
increase appear to have been
performed in secrecy, unlike
the procedure followed by 9TH
er public utilities, and since
the consuming public is entitl-
ed to information, it seems
fair to request that the Virgin
Islands Corporation publish
within the next ten days in the
newspapers of general circula-
ton in the Virgin Islands the
information:
1.-The reason for and manner
in which the new rates
were arrived at;
2. Information indicating
whether the new rate lev
Ell is an economically
sound one. adequate to
cover all costs of the SER
vice demanded by the pub
