DIR. Garrett Cites
Differences In
Whites, Negroes

DR., Henry Edward Garrett,
former head Of the Columbia
University psychology depart
ment, and now visiting professor
at the University of Virginia,
told the student body at Long
wood College Thursday that the
physiology, psychology, history
and society of Negroes point to
inherent differences between the
races.
If Negroes and WhiteS) were
thrown into school willy-nllly,
white children would not get a
good education, and their edu-
cation would be pulled down one
or two grades" Dr.. Garrett
said.
DR.. Garrett, a native of Hall
fax county cited several scien-
tific studies to assert a differ

to generalize (the Congolese)
falls down."
This conclusion was reached
through the use of electro-en

Garrett said.
DR.. Garrett said that as far as
the historical point Of view is

historian Arnold Toynbee's as

D claw are Soil
Needs Lime :
Short Course
ed

Soil samples coming into the
University of Delaware's test
ing laboratory are showing a
greater need for lime than ever
before. Some Delaware soil
needs lime so badly, according
to DR.. William H. Mitchell, ex-
tension agronomist, that farmers
are questioning the accuracy of
the tests.
He says this problem will in
crease unless farmers do some
thing about it. s'We now have the
.know-how to make our present
average crop yields look small
in comparison to those that can
be produced on properly lined
and adequately fertilized soils. -"
In an effort to solve this lag
between the availability Of
knowledge on the subject and it's
application on Delaware farms,
the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service is conducting a
lime short course in connection
with its annual crop show. The
short course, sponsored by the
crop Improvement Association,
will be held on November 26tt

In discussing the seriousness
Of Delaware's lime deficiencies,
Mitchell said a record number
of lime deficient plants were
sent to the college for examina-
tion this past season. And col
lege specialists were asked to
visit a large number Of farms
where lime deficiencies were
showing up. Many Of these prob
lens, Mitchell said, were traced
to acid soils.
"It'S pretty obvious that
farmers are not using the amount
of lime needed for best crop
production. The seriousness Of
this situation is being com
pounded by recent trends in till
age practices. The use Of larger
tractors has resulted in farmers
plowing deeper and bringing mol e
acid subsoil 20 the surface. Also
farmers are using highe /
analysis fertilizer with less
room for limestone in the formu-
lation. In 1850 the leading
fertilizer grade In Delaware was
3-12-6. Today it is 10-10-10
supplemented with large amounts
of nitrogen materials. High nj
trogen fertilization increases the
need for lime to offset its acid
effect.
Mitchell says lower cost nj
trogen materials also encourage
farmers to use acid forming nj
trogen top dressing material.
The use Of nitrate Of soda, which
is basic or neutral, has dropped
sharply in the past ten years.
Taking its place has been the
acid forming nitrogen solutions
anhydrouS ammonia urea and
ammonia nitrate. Increases in
crop yields have also rapidly
increased the need for more
lime. AS these crops pull more
nutrients from the soil they also
require more lime:
Mitchell says the purpose Of
the lime short course is to tie
all Of these factors together and
present them in such a way that
farmers will realize the i'm
portance Of adequate lime for
maximum crop production.

Russell Resigns
Test Bon Position

LONDON, Jan. II (AP).-
The resignation of 90-year-old
Lord Bertrand Russell as presi-
dent of Britain's Antinuclear
Committee of 100 was dis
closed yesterday.
In a letter to the Pacifist
weekly, Peace News, the aged
philosopher cited the pressure
of other work and the fact he
now lives in Wales. The COM
mittee's headquarters are in
London. He said he would
still support the committee
whenever he could.
The committees function has
been to oppose nuclear weap-
ons by a campaign of civil dis
obedience, including a number
of mass sitdowns in places like
Trafalgar Square. 81,
In 1861 Lord Russell served
a week in Jail on charge Of
breach of the peace arising
from one of the demonstra-
Itions.
