OUR POLLUTION
PROBLEM

Pollution in Mississippi is
a big problem. Since May /,
1868, the. Pollution Division
of the Game and Fish Com
mission has investigated
many complaints, out OF
which 8 pollution cases were
made with a total of $4,000
in fines. imposed.
In addition to investiga-
ton complaints, the Pollu-
ton Division makes periodic
checks Of all of ,the indus
tries in the state and OF all
of the oil wells and oil fields.
Through the combined eff
forts of the Game and Fish.
Commission and all of the
hunters and fishermen Of the.
state, the pollution problems
in Mississippi could be great
ly reduced.

ting lots of boil rot at pre-
sent time it would be advis-
able to bottom defoliate your
cotton if at all possible to do
SO. If it is not possible to bot
tom defoliate and you are
getting lots of rot on bottom
,bolls it would probably justi-
fly you to- put a light dose of
cynamid in order to knock
off most of the mature leaves.
AT this time / do not find
any new boil rot in cotton
fields. Most of the boil rot
We have had was two to
three weeks ago during damp
hot weather. Very little boil
rot has occurred since the
cool spell we had a few
weeks ago. Unless it rains
with low over lying clouds
and hot weather it is doubt
fui if too much rot will occur
before we would have a
chance to defoliate our fields.

By w. R. SULLIVAN

COUNTY

Cotton -
Questions are coming in
every day as to whether or
not / should keep poisoning
my cotton for boil weevils
and bollworms. OF course
that depends on whether or
not your cotton has matured
and cut out completely. The
general rules to- use in deter
mining as to whether you are
to keep poisoning are, if you
feel it is still green and
blooming with good, healthy
blooms then it would certain
ly justify you continuing
poisoning either one, two or
three more times for both
boil weevils and bollworms
as both of these insects are
certainly a problem at this
time. Z
If you can save one boil
on every foot of row 1T is
equal from $13 to SIS worth
of cotton. In some cases 1t
would only take one poison
to accomplish this. In other
cases one to two poisons
would be needed to save an
average of one boil per foot.
In fields that have hot
been poisoned in the past 10
days or two weeks, particu-
lar in the hill area, it is
doubtful if further poisoning
would accomplish anything
because the boil weevils and
bollWOrmS have already eat
en- up most of the bolls that
you would want to protect.
Let me urge that if you
have kept your fields rela-
lively free of insect damage
up until this point and your
cotton is still blooming and
is capable of holding on the
bolls already developed then
you should certainly poison
one or more times with a
long lasting insecticide for
boil weevils and bollworms.

Harvesting :

Harvesting -
Moisture and trash in seed
cotton arriving at the gins to-
day are the two most critical
factors that effect grade and
ldictata ginning treatment
which may damage quality.
Poor harvesting can cause
a loss of grade and quality
even before cotton is ginned.
Do not allow hand pickers
Ito pick when cotton is too
wet with dew or rain.
Do not allow pickers to
pick partially open bolls. On
ly pick well open, fluffy
bolls.
Mechanical Pickers
Before starting mechanical
pickers be sure and clean out
the turn rows and have free
CT grass.
Adjust your machines.
Take your handbook and
go over every part of your
machine to see if it is in Al
shape before starting to harv-
est.
Excess grease and oil
should be removed from
picking unit before entering
field. Our cotton buyers will
refuse to buy bales of cotton
showing grease and oil.
Follow close directions of
your handbook.

NASA Announces Russ
 Spacecraft Explodes Into "A Orbiting Pieces

WASHINGTON R - One of several Soviet spacecraft about which the Russians have said nothing apparently exploded into 24 orbiting pieces shortly after launching last fall, the US. Space Agency reports.
 In any event, it probably was the biggest buSt-up in space since the US. Transit A satellite vehicle shattered into 186 separate orbit ing parts after launching June 29, 1861.
 The hitherto unreported Soviet spraying of orbital debris occurred last Oct. "A. There was no indi- cation in the US. report whether the spacecraft could have been manned.
 The breaking up of the Soviet satellite was brought to light in a satellite situation report pub lished semi-monthly by the Ma tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
 The disclosure clearly was the result of the recently announced change in policy under which NASA is to make public all non- classified space flight data sent to it by the North American Air Defense Command and oth r agencies. NORAD, among it's other duties, tracks foreign objects in orbit.
 For many months, virtually all information on Soviet shots, ex- cept for data announced by Mos COW, was withheld from the NASA reports even though the informa- tion had no apparent military sig nificance.
 The pieces of the unsuccessful Soviet shot began dropping back into the earth's atmosphere on Oct. 29, five days after launching, NASA said.
 The last section left orbit Feb. 26.

dependable and gain seniority and
other benefits.
"Everytime the worker quits
and starts another Job he will be a
beginning worker and loses all
seniority and other benefits"
A general conclusion expressed
by both relocation officials and
many succeS Ssful Navajo relocatees
can be summarized as the fact that
relocation is not a miracle treat
ment. Everyone has in Individual
responsibility and must shoulder
this personal challenge and learn
to be self sufficient.
For both Relocatees and Adult
Vocation Training groups tempo
rary quarters are provided by the
Field Relocation Office. Generally
these are boarding homes for
single and student Navajos and
light housekeeping units for family
groups. These are carefully
screened for good, clean and ade-
quate condition in preferably
residential districts and close to
shopping and transportation faci-
lities.
Prior to the job application
(Which is chosen by the Navajo
Relocatee) a thorough screening is
given of opportunities, information
on potential companies where the
Navajo may be employed, tests
similar to those which will be given
by the employer and practice in
filling out job application forms
used in the area and personal atti-
tude when applying for the job. Al
SO advice on many aspects of big
city life are covered.
After placement on the job the
Relocation Office will helpthe Nav
ajo individual or family in obtain
ing permanent housing in good
locations commensurate with in
come.
The financial assistance pro-
vided for relocarees and adult vo-
cational training students provided
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
covers living costs until after job
placement.
Bureau financial assistance at
the destination Reloc alton Office
is provided on the basis of needs
as they arise during the first year
after arrival. Generally the bulk of
this is used until after the first full
pay check from permanent employ
ment is earned by the relOcatee.
The total financial sistance
which can be given is outlined here
for information; however, this is
not guarantee that each reloca-
tee will get the maximum amount
listed. Some families or individ-
uals will require less than others
On the need basis SO any amounts
unexpended (not needed) are then
available for other relocatees. 1t
should be pointed out that the funds

Marie Streeter emphasized that
these programs are not welfare
programs. The attitude of her Of

class citizenship treatment. The

sed through one of the seven Nav
ajo Agency offices and is counseled
after which arrangements are
made for relocation through the
proper Subagency Employment As
sistance office. "a detailed study of
local procedures is planned in the
near futurel
The choice of being relocated or
taking vocational training in one of
the eight major large city reloCa-
tion centers is strictly voluntary
as to the choice of the area to
which they wish togo, although it is
recommended that areas offering
the most opportunities for the ca
pabilities of particular reloCatee
be given strong consideration
rather than random selection of a
city.
Transportation and initial ex-
penSeS are paid 70 the destination
by the local bureau office and
arrangements made with the re-
location office at the destination
for receiving the relocatees.
Reception procedures may vary
somewhat in each area but for pur-
poses of example the San Jose,
California, Relocation office, pro-
cedure will be cited.
RelocateeS are sent by train to
San Jose where they proceed to
designated hotel in whichreserva-
tions have been made for their
arrival.
In the morning they are met by
a San Jose Reloc alton office rep
