Moreover, they allege, workers

At the General Motors plant in
Atlanta, Negro workers allege that
colored persons are initially hired
as janitors and in other menial
classificationS exclusively, and
that they are denied equal pro-
motional rights into production and
skilled craft occupations. In sew
eral affidavits, Negro workers state
that they were told by the plant
personnel manager that they could
only be employed as janitors. Ne
gro workers charge that the COM
pany violates the seniority rights
of Negro workers in layoff and
recall. All facilities INF the Chevro-
let Division plant in Atlanta of the
General Motors Corporation are
rigidly segregated. The collective
bargaining agreement at this plant
is held by the United Automobile
Workers of America, AFL-CIO.
In Cleveland. qualified Negro
employees of the Chevrolet divi-
sion of General Motors charge that
they are denied admission into the
company's apprenticeship training
program; that the company has
a policy of concentrating Negro
workers in the lower paid unskill-
ed job classifications and refuses
to hire Negroes on the basis of
qualification and previous work
experience. They further charge
that in its hiring procedures the
company racially designates job
applications.
Sixty affidavits were filed by
the Association on behalf of Negro
workers who are employees of the
Republic Aviation Company n
Farmingdale, Long Island. These
affidavits further charge that the
company is responsible for "dis-
criminatory practices against Ne
groes in employment and upgrad-

the status of Negro employees at
this plant reveals that Negro work.
ers are mainly concentrated in
certain limited service and pro-

Negro workers employed by the
Illinois Central and the st. Louis

panies in Memphis, and who are
members of Lodge No. SIS, a seq
regated local of the Brotherhood
of Railway Carmen, charge that
the railroad companies in col

are violating their seniority rights

Plant Cotton for More Profit

Results of research by the Agricultural
Economics Department, Mississippi State
University show that cotton returns per acre
compare favorably with any other farm
enterprise.
Cost and returns were computed for the
cotton production on "a hill farms included
in a research project in 1858. These farms
had an average allotment of ga acres.
According to this study the farmers got about
1922 profit for the use of their land and
labor in cotton production. Where all labor
had to be hired the returns for the use of the
land was still above $50 per acre.
Holmes County herald., 1961-03-23

No other enterprise on these farms paid
more for the use of land and labor where
labor was available.
Where hill farmers do not have available
labor, chemical weed control and mechanical
harvesting on a custom basis may solve
this problem and even reduce total cost of
production.
Plant your cotton allotment in 1851 If
you have good" cotton land and labor avail
able. IF you do not intend to plant, be sure
to release your unwanted acres before April
l for reapportionment to your county or the
state.
Holmes County herald., 1961-03-23

DON'T LOSE your cotton acreage allotment. If you
released all of your ollotfed acres for the post fwo
years, you must uetvalIy plant some cotton in 1861
or lose your allotment in 1862.

Pine Seedlings
If interested in setting out
pine seedlings this winter The
Forestry Commission urges
that you make your applica
ton for seedlings Immediate
ly if you expect to get your
orders filled.
Each farmer of the state
is entitled to 1000 pine seed
lings free plus 35c for shipp
ing charges. Each additional
1000 seedlings may be pur
chased from the Forestry Com
mission at $3.50 per thou
sand plus delivery charges of
35c.
The ASC office will pay
$500 per thousand for the
purchase and setting of pine
seedlings provided you make
application and get it approx
ed before doing the work.
Application blanks for secur
ing pine seedlings may be
obtained from your local area

Soil Samples

l would like to urge each
farmer to take soil samples
of his row cropland and pas
ture land within the next 80
days. There is only one way
to know the kind and amount
of fertilizer your acrops need
for next year. That way is by
taking soil samples and send
ing them to The Soil Testing
Laboratory at State College.
The analysis of your soil may
save you many dollars on your
fertilizer bill. 1t may also
cause you to increase your
production so percent or more
by applying the right kind and
amount of fertilizer per acre.
1T you wait until next spring
to take soil samples it will
take from l to 2 months to
get your results back, whereas
at this time of year the
laboratory is not rusned and
you should expect to get your
analysis back in two weeks.
During the spring months
your soil is usually too wet
to apply lime to soil. If lime
is needed you will certainly
save on other fertilizer ele
ments by applying lime where
needed.
Dispose of Stalks
AS soon as you are through
harvesting cotton and corn
shred the stalks with a stalk
shredder or bush hog so that
these stalks will not be in the
way of planting your crop
next year. Shredded stalks
Will decay ouch faster than

if allowed to stand in the
field.
Deep Flowing
On row crop land, both corn
and cotton, if your land has
not been broken deep in the
last couple Of years let me
urge you to take a mold
board pillow and break your
soil 10 to IA inches deep be
fore winter sets in. In most
fields there is a hard pan from
3 to 8 inches deep below the
top soil. By breaking this
hard pan moisture will be
stored into the sub soil
that will be valuable to your
crops next spring. This will
allow he roots easier penetra
ton into the soil next summer.
At least try a few acres of
deep breaking this fall. | am
sure that you will be satisfied
with results and will make
this one Of your normal farm
practices from thereout.
White Dutch Clover Areas
If you have an abundance
of white Dutch clover in your
pasture let me urge that you
plant rye grass in these clov
er areas in order to reduce
bloat in livestock next spring.
White dutch clover is Ger
tainly dangerous to Craze in
the spring unless there is plen
ty of roughage Or grasses with
it.
Plant 20 to 80 pounds of
rye grass seed per acre at thi
time on the sod. The rye
grass will certainly be of value
in helping control bloat and
will also give more grain
during the spring.

hard news is his knack of applying

local news features-an ability which

The scene pictured on the next
page, taken from news reel featured
recently on shows hosted by Del
Malkie and Ed Meyers, is prime ex-
ample. Sent to cover an annual dolls
contest at an Arlington recreation
center, Larry, who had filmed the
event in past years, pondered way
to come up with something different.
He found the answer by giving a
small, doll-like spectator, star-billing
among the life-size mechanical dolls.
The little girl posed motionless until
Larry beckoned her smiling toward
the cameras. Viewers were startled
and. delighted.
Larry dates his professional life
from his Seventh-grade student days.
He photographed a wrestling bout in
his hometown of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and it was promptly featured by one
of the towns daily newspapers. He
came to Washington after World War
I during which he served as Coast
Guard photographer to set up his
own commercial photo business. Then
he joined the staff of the Washington
Daily News and later became free

1860 when Channel became his full
