deep enough over the limestone to satisfactorily produce
citrus.
g. HIGH cost of insect and disease control. Year around
climate appears to be particularly favorble for certain scale
nd other citrus insects which are difficult and costly to control
The semi-arid climate is less conducive to fungus diseases but
might favor virus diseases if they become introduced. Some
greasy melanose was seen on grapefruit, The scales in partir
Icular would require thorough applications of pesticides to keep
these pests under control. Application of p~esticides requires
expensive materials and machinery as well as labor.
hence is more subject to damage from limb breakage and
fruit loss from wind than lower growing crops. Severe tree
breakage would require pruning expense and time to grow new
trees, whereas annual crops could be replanted without this
Expense. The Virgin Islands is in the tropical storm area and
hence would be subject to periodic loss from this cause.
The Island Of st. Croix has some areas which appear to
meet the minimum requirements of citrus. However, these are
on the higher elevations which receive more moisture, with
better drainage and more favorable temperature. Experiment
paintings of citrus have not been extensive and those available
for inspection were not in the fiat lands under consideration.
Summary and recommendations. Commercial production
of citrus on Vicorp land being considered for lease to NBC
now in sugar cane is doubtfully feasible from 4 standpoints:
~ insufficient water supply; ~ limestone subsoil deposits
over much Of the area which presents citrus from absorbing
sufficient iron () high cost of insect and disease control and
az subject to wind damage from tropical storms. 1t is there
fore recommended that at least three experimental blocks of
citrus be established on the different soil types so that data
can be obtained on productivity. Conversion of any large
areas of land from present cropping practices to new crops
should be baesd on thorough testing as to productivity and
economic feasibility of these new crops.

REPORT ON VICORP BY THE
u. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Continued from yesterday

Projecting a 3-month drought and a supplemental need of
3 inches of water on 1900 acres per month (Which would wet
Virgin Island clay soils to 1913 inches) would require LIPS
acre feet Of water. To this must be added a loss factor from
the storage due to evaporation (85" evaporation rate less than
90" replacement due to rain or As incheS) which, depending on
the storage surface involved, would nearly double the amount
OF water needed or 2,250-acre feet to meet the requirement
Two major drainage areas, Castle Burk, 1876 acres, and
Chimney Bush, 1869 acres, or a total of $500 acres, pass
through the Vicorp land. Runoff figures in two recent years
are as follows 1859 accumulated runoff, So" x 3600-335-acre
feet; 1861 accumulated runoff, 189 x 36OO-648-acre feet. This
could be increased with high-yielding intense storms but
such storms are irregular and are less likely to occur in dry
years. A 10" storm in "a hours, which is a 5Oyear frequency
would be considered a flash-flood and, depending on soil con-
ditions, could yield g." or 1,700acre feet runoff but would tend
to silt up reservoirs and present danger to retaining dams
unless constructed with sufficient safety factors.
Increasing the size Of the present storage basins would
E~ry ssitate deepening and would probably penetrate carbo-
nate Illustrates which would not hold water and therefore
might not be feasible engineeringwise. Storage of water in
a greater number of shallow ponds would result in greater
loss from evaporation.
C( Iron deficiency chlorosis. Citrus generally suffers
from inability to absorb sufficient iron when grown on highly
calcareous soils. The amount of injury varies with the degree
of deficiency but severely affected trees are chlorouc, do not
grow vel. and are less productive; if the deficiency is severe
enough, trees. die or fail to grow. When trees are planted in
good Soil but which is underlaid with calcerous materials,
trees usually grow well until the roots spread out on top Of
the calcareous strata when they terminate growth and turn
chlorotic. AT least 5 feet Of good soil is necessary for satisfac-
tory Growth when the substrata is cacareous.
Iron chelates sprayed on foliage have been successfully
used to alleviate mild chlorosis on citrus but are not success
fuf when the chlorosis is severe. Repeated applications IN
themselves cause foliage burn. The application or iron sulfate
to the soil or to the foliage has not been satisfactory.
Surveys have shown that much of the 1900 acres Of Vicorp

NAACP Critical
Of Proposed Bill
On Public HOUSING

The Minnesota Dakota State
Conference, NAACP, today crit
icized the proposed amendment to
the Minnesota laws on Municipal
Housing and Redevelopment now
pending before the Minnesota Leg
islature.
Approval of this amendment
(Senate File No. $50 and House
File No. 639) would only serve
to deny decent housing to low
income families; impede the pro-
gress of slum clearance, and to
curtail the authority of responsible
municipal officials, stated, Tim
othy Howard, NAACP State Hous-
ing Chairman.
In further emphasizing the AS
sociation's position on the amend
ment, Donald Lewis, State NAACP
President, stated, Public Housing
programs often present low-income
families with a long awaited op-
portunity to move out Of econ
omic ghettos into better neighbor-
hoods with better housing. Public
housing holds promise of accomp-
fishing more than breaking up a
ghetto. When planned intelligently,
and with vision, these programs
can create new patterns of demo-
cratic living which can benefit
the whole city. Densely populated,
run down areas, in which low in
come families are exploited by
slumlords, can be replaced by
whole new communities. These
areas, when redeveloped with ade-
quate and attractive housing
benefits family life, community
leadership and the schools and
other public facilities that sur
round them.
Public housing" Lewis stated
can serve as an effective tool moi
only to eliminate slums and i'm
prove housing conditions but also
to broaden the housing opportunit'
les for all low income families
There, the State NAACP, urges
the Minnesota State Legislator
to leave to the municipal officials
the right to determine the number
of housing units they may need fol
their respective communities
whenever they feel such public
housing is necessary" Mr.. Lewis
stated.

Powell Claims

am Clayton Powell, stunned and
electrified a crowd of nearly 1000
persons here, when he exclaimed
Negroes are doomed unless 80
called" Negro organizations rid
themselves Of white people sitting
on their boards of directors.
Making his first public appear
ance since the bitter congressional
attacks launched against him last
Feb. 8, Powell literally fooled his
audience who thought he was COM
ing to offer a defense against
charges leveled at his conduct as a
Congressman.
The dapper, polished legislator
literally ripped to shreds such long
standing organizations as the
NAACP and the National Urban
League whose progress, he charged
in the field of civil rights has
been stiffled because monied
whites on their boards control
their policies.
He spoke here in Washington
as the second Of a series Of three
speakers sponsored by the Capt.
tai Press club, an organization
Of Negroes in journalism and
public relations.
Almost from the very beginning
of his prepared speech, Powell let
it be known that he had not come
to defend his travels as a Congress
man nor the use Of counterpart
funds in foreign countries.
Quoting from a recent book of
Emmett John Hughes, entitled
