SUBSCRIPTION T
lilly. 1861

1t is hard to believe that the Fourth of July is only six
days away. This brings us to the half way mark of 1861, days
will start getting shorter from now on until December Il.
The Fourth Of July is so named for several high points in
our great nation. July is remembered as the anniversary of
the Battle of Gettysburg, which occurred on July ], 2 and 3,
1868, and marked the high tide of the Confederacy. July 4th
is remembered as independence Day, the date of the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence, signed by John Hancock,
the president of the congress, July 1, 1776.
July 4th is also the birthday anniversary of former pres
ident Calvin Coolidge. There are other memorable dates
which fall in the month of July.
There are people today that are quite certain the country
has never passed through an era of such critical Importance
as faces us at this time. However, when one takes a look at the
past it is plain that our country has been faced with serious
conditions before, and has survived them all.
"The Linden, in the fervors of July,
HUNS with a Louder concert When the wind
Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime,
AS when some master hand eXuting sweeps
The keys of some great organ, ye give forth
The music of the woodland depths, a hymn
Of gladneSs and of thanks"

EVERGREEN BROWNING

The browning occurring on eV-
ergreen branches this time of the
year is not always due to insects.
In most cases, the browning has
been caused by winter burning of
the needles by wind and sun and
is not the result of disease T
insect infeStation.
There is no known treatment
for the injured areas on trees.
Winter browning can sometimes
be prevented or lessened through
he watering of the evergreens
before freeze-up or by protecting
the trees, particularly the low
growing ornamentals, with some
type of windbreak or covering to
prevent excessive drying of the
needles. A piece of burlap stretch
ed between stakes will do. The
trees will recover from this injury
unless they are excessively dam
aged. An insect which is
called the red spider mite
causes a similar papearing in
jury to evergreenS. These tiny
spiders similarly dry out Ehe
needles by feeding on the sap of
the needles. They are vrey diff
ficult to detect as on trees they
are not visible to the naked eye.
If you notice spider webs, how
ever, in the trees, you can be
quite sure the mites are present,
If a spider i~nfestation exists, a
good spray material is mlalathion.
Use the fifty percent emulsifiable
concentrate at the rate of one
and one-haf teaspoonSful per gal
lon of water. If you are not pre-
praed to spray your own trees,
you can have this work done by a
local custom operator who does a
very good jb. The important
thing is to treat the trees before
serious injury results should in
SectS be present.

SAFETY IN USING
FARM

Agricultural chemicals are play
ing a more and more important
role in the farming community.
They are now widely used in the

INSECTICIDES FOR


During The past few weeks we
have received a multitude of calls
requesting information on grass
hopper control. Many of the ques-
| tionS have centered on the use of
various Insecticides and rates of
application. Dieldrin is the most
| common insecticide used in this
area for grasshopper control.
Most dieldrin foundations con-
tain "a ounces of active dieldrin
! per gallons, SO the following rates
of application r made on this
basis.
For spraying cropland, field
margins, roadSideS, and waSteland
one full ounce of dieldrin per
acre is the standard rate of appli-
cation.
On rangeland, dieldrin is being
used with good results at the
rate of one-half ounce per acre.
Other common insecticides
which are being used for grass
hopper control and the standard
| dosage per acre include toXa-
phene, one to che and one-haf
pounds; aldrin, two ounces; and
h~eptachlor, two to three ounces.
ALI of these rates are based on the
amount of active material that
the ~inseoicide contains.
Most farmers and ranchers use
the same amount of water per
acr in applying insecticides as is
used in spraying weeds. The i'm
portant thing here is to get thor
ough coverage. Also, it should be
added that proper precautions
should be taken in the handling
and application of standard grass
hopper insecticides. Follow the
manufacturers directions on this.

move. House Republican Lead
er Halleck charged that Secre-
tary Of the Interior Udall urged
some House Republicans to sup
port the Rayburn proposal.
Mr.. Udall, Q former Demo-
cratic House member from Ari-
zona. was not available for
comment. House sources said
that within the last three days
he had telephoned Republican
Representatives Reifel of South
Dakota, Harrison Of Wyoming.

Shriver Of Kansas.
Mr.. Reifel. a first-term men,
ber who has announced he in
tends to vote against the plan,
told reporters he received q
telephone call from Secretary
Udall yesterday. There were no
threats or direct pressure, he
said.
. He said he would like to see
the Speakers proposal 20
through" Mr.. Reifel recalled.
He didn't ask me how I would
vote. but left the feeling with
me that he would like to see it
passed"
Mr.. Harrison declined to say
whether Mr.. Udall called him
Mr.. Shriver was in Kansas to-
day. but associates said he re-
ceived a call from Mr.. Udall
The conversation dealt with
other matters. The Rayburn
plan repeatedly was mentioned
but Mr.. Udall was said to have
made no direct request for sup
port.
! Supporters of the Rayburn
plan countered by charging
that many Southern Demo-
Gratis have received calls and
messages from their respective
State officials and others urg-
ing them to vote against the
plan.
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith. Democrat Of Virginia,
interpreted the vote postpone
ment as q sign that the resolu-

grafton of public facilities of the state of
Mississippi.
1t was a well known fact that in the
recent session of the Mississippi legisla-
ture, about ali one had to do to get a bill
enacted into law was to somehow get a
segregation tag attached to it.
With little discussion and less study,
the bill would be enacted into law.
Conscientious lawmakers who deplor-
ed such legislative procedures were
~bludgeoned into silence by the fact that
they would be thought soft on integra-
ton.
Ihe great majority of Mississippians
want to do everything legally feasible to
protect Mississippi's segregated society.
But, we do not believe they want, in the
process, to make a wild, radical departure
from good, sound, conservative policies.
To give money to private organiza-
lions with no strings attached regardless
OF the banner under which it is given is
a stellar example of the worst sort of
abuse. And We predict that one day these
and other outrages committed under the
all encompassing name of preserving seq
regatlon' will come home to roost.
1t is, as always, the average non-vocal
taxpayer who is being victimized bv the
open-handed generosity of the Sovereign
~ty Commission, the Governor and the
Mississippi Legislature.

IN YEARS SAYS WEEKS

Marriage licenses issued the
past year to whites reached the
lowest figure of many years, ac-
cording to a summary given by
j. D. Weeks, Circuit Clerk of the
county whose duties embrace the
issuance of the certificates.
According to figures at the
office 66 licenses formed the
totals of the year 1880, and in
digging back over the past years,
the lowest record found was in
1912 when 70 certificates for
whites held the lowest record.
The largest number in recent
years was 101 which was in
1929.
According to the total of white
and colored marriage licenses
issued December Is 1880. the
number was given at 1877. This is
far below the average number
for the same period of time it
is learned and no reasons have
been assigned for the decrease.

Behind the Scenes
In american
Business
by Reynolds Knight

industrial research in the past
decades has brought forth new
products and services at such a
fruitful rate that the man-in-the-
street has, it appears, come to
take 1T pretty much for granted.
But currently there are some
clouds on its hirizon.
10 finance research, a business
obviously must have operated
p~rofitably enough so it can put
funds aside for this purpose. But
before it can, it must pay its
taxes and meet obligations on
Its securities = bonds, deben-
lures, and stocks. Thanks to
good profits in the latter 1866.
most businesses have had ample
funds to pursue research.
Currently two factors r cause
for worry: the re~cessionary
trend, which has lowered earn
lngs, IN many fields, and the
corporate income tax which
has stood unchanged at 81 per
cent since before the Korean
War.
A professor at the University
of Chlcago's Graduate School of
Business recently predicted that.
If there isn't some relief from
the tax bite, industrial research
may be cut in half during the
years ahead. This, he says. could
result in a reduction of so per
cent or even more in the nations
economic growth.
Tax Loophole
The federal government loses
ar estimated $500 million a year
in excise taxes NOT collected
from the moonshine industry.
according to Lewis S. Rosenstiel,
chairman and president of
Schenley Industries, Inc. In addi-
ton, state governments lose an
estimated $3.50 million in excise
taxes NOT collected from the
moonshiners.
The federal government, which
had upwards of $500 agents dur
ing Prohibition when no liquor
taxes were at stake. today has
only $40 men ASSIGNED to Opera
ton Moonshine." Mr.. Rosenstiel's
proposal is that the government
earmark one per cent of the
total revenue accrued from ex-
else tax payments on distilled
shirts to enforce "anti-moon-
shine laws" He pointed out that
