The True Moral Issue In
Chicago School Fight

In reSigning superintendent of the Chicago
Public school system, Benjamin c. Willis sought to
make a moral issue of his situation. He said that if
he were to bow to order by Superior Court Judge
Arthur Sullivan IT would sacrifice the integrity Of
the office of Superintendent of Schools" The court
order covered transfer of students, and aimed
This is quite a switch! The moral issue is not
equality of opportunity but the Integrity Of an
office which has been dragging its feet on a pro-
gram that has been demanded by the large Negro
community, has been adopted by the Board of Edu-
cation has been ordered by the Superior court and
concurred in by the Appellate court.
There has been difference of opinion between
Willis and most of the rest of Chicago the ques-
ton of whether there is segregation in Chicagos
schools Willis says there Is not. Most other people
agree that there is The Chicago superintendent Is
said be the highest paid public administrator in
the United States except for the President. One of
the Jobs of an administrator is to know what Is
going Another is to know and understand the
mood of the people he is dealing with, and the prob
lens which concern them.
Instead what Willis has done is to stand the
dignity of his office and make moral pronounce
ments about integrity" In a school system that has
failed as Chicagos has failed there is to the
issue of integrity than the dignity and perogatiVes
of an administrative office. We hope that Superin
endent Wilis's successor will understand this and
win have the administrative sagacity to put into
effect policies which will be in tune, instead Of at
odds with the needs and wishes of the community.

Arrest OF Narcotic

There are those who claim that the percentage

percentage-wse in the state. We know some of the
causes for such condition and have enumerated
them for years discrimination in Jobs in education
and in many areas.
However the Negro community, and most of us
are guilty, have ignored of the principal reasons
for the large crime rate is that we have too long
tolerated much Of the corruption and crime which
have infested some Of neighborhoods without
citizen challenge.
Only a few hours Sunday after a Northsde
Minneapolis mother of five had told a large public
meeting of crime operating openly in the area where
she was trying to raise her children, the Federal
narcotic agents assisted by local police had arrested
IL Twin City persons and sought IL others under in
dictment for participation in a alleged dope ring
Fourteen of the 18 suspects arrested are men,
bers of the Negro community Most Of them 38 wears
OF age and four were less than 25 years old
Narcotics is a terrible scourge and the know
ledge that members of the community from all Sec

come a shock to some of our satisfied citizenry
who think don't have much crime in our fair

Secretary Freeman has ap-
proved the 1864 Agricultural
Conservation Program. There
are no major changes from
1868, but in approving the pro-
gram for next year the Sec
retary said: "The 1864 ACP
will emphasize even more
strongly the kinds of conser-
walton practices that help far
mers establish permanent veg
etative cover". USDA econo-
mists also say there is a need
to shift millions of acres that
are now producing row crops
and small grains into other
uses--from intensive crop pro-
duction to forestry, grass and
legume pasture, cover for Wild
life habitat, and other non-crop
uses.

of the more important duck
species In North America.
Starting In the breeding season
of 1862, a special research
team has been trying to develop
survey techniques that will be
effective in the vast forest-bog-
tundra homelands of black duck
and Canada Geese in eastern
Canada.
Research completed lastyear
has demonstrated conclusively
that the survival rate of can
vasbacks and redheads has been
increased to a marked degree
by means of appropriate shoot
ing regulations.
Banding now provides depen-
dable figures on annual NOR
tality. Different types of sur
veys, including wing surveys,
hmter-kill surveys and others,
serve to complement and check
each other.
1t is an accepted management
principle for several species of
resident game that cunning
pressure has very little effect
on breeding stock. In the case
of certain waterfowl, however,
the opposite has been found to
be true. During periods of low
production even a moderate kill
reduces the available breeding
population for the following sea-
son.
The Bureaus waterfowl re-
search program is continuing
to study many factors that af-
feet the status of the water
fowl resource on the North
American continent. The ON
inous decrease in waterfowl
habitat, extremes of drought
and flooding of breeding areas,
the effect of pesticides, and
hunting pressure, are some of
the factors affecting waterfowl
production which serve as focal
points of research.

Favorable Soybean Price Seen

A University of Illinois eco
nomist is forecasting a huge
demand, short supply and favor
able prices for soybeans during
the coming year. T. A. Her
onymus who is familiar to many
Delaware soybean producers
made this prediction at the
American Soybean Associa-
lions annual meeting in Colum-
bus, Ohio recently. Hieronymus
spoke at a soybean growers
meeting at the Georgetown Sub
station last fall. He is a noted
agricultural economist and is
widely respected by soybean
producers.
In making his predictions, he
said an all time record high
crop is In prospect but huge
demands will bring on high
prices as bidders seek to satis-
fly their needs.
Here Is how Hieronymus ap-
praises the market outlook for
the year ahead.
The A percent higher acre
age planted In 1868 than In 1862
is less than the normal ex-
pansion In demand that has been
taking place. The current rate
of soybean acreage increase
points to long-run shortage of
soybeans.
While the current crop esd
mate of 723 million bushels is
the best possible one at this
time, it is subject to change
before harvest.
Soybean exports rose about
rs million bushels during the
past year. Further increases
seem likely In the future as
Japan and European countries
increase their needs for soy
beans and soybean meal.
Export demands seem quite
stable unless a drastic price
rise takes place. Japan buys
soybeans mainly for food, and
European countries use large
quantities of soybean meal for
livestock feed.
Soybean oil is In surplus,
and the stockpile continues to
climb. The market for protein
is expanding more rapidly than
the market for fat. However,
the market for soybean oil is
expanding because production OF
other fats is not expanding as
rapidly as our population.
Public Law 480 has provid-
ed the means for disposing
of much of the accumulated
surplus oil since 1854. How
ever, this disposal method is
expensive, and there is limit
to how much the public will
tolerate spending for such a
program.
While soybean oil selling al
8 cents a pound is cheap, it is
not likely to go up until u. S.
inventories can be reduced Il
inventories begin to shrink, a
price of 9 cents a pound seems
possible.

FENCE TALK
l. with George K. yupuu
Kent County Agricultural Agent

THE LONG DROUTH and its
effect on crops has been very
much in the news this week.
Fortunately the situation for
Kent county can be described as
sporty. No one has had an ex-
cess of water. But many have
missed several critical show
ers.
Bill Ireland, local soils
scientist with the Soil Conser-
vation Service, tells me that
he had to auger down to nine
feet below the surface to reach
the water table north of Leip-
sic. Ordinarily we can expect
to find ground water within TWO
feet of the surface in that area.
Those farmers who have been
hurt with reduced yields will
find sympathetic ear with local
banks and lending groups. Bank
directors realize that farming
represents a major source of
income for this area. They
also know that farmers are al
the mercy of the weather in
spite of tillage skills.
Cover cropping is a good
practice for farmers to con-
slider after drought damaged
crops. The small grain cover
will take UP and retain unused
fertilizer for the next crop.
Otherwise the fertilizer might
leach out of the soil as a re-
suit of winter storms. Another
benefit of cover crops. They
improve soil tilth or texture,
which in turn creates a more
fertile soil condition.

SilO or Crib?
Farmers Must
Decide In
Few Days

This is the time of year when
many Delaware farmers are
making the important decision
whether to put the corn crop
In the silo or in the crib. This
decision must be made within
the next few days or the corn
will become too mature to make
good silage.
If you're looking for the most
pounds of total food value for
your livestock then corn siIage
is your best bet. A crop that
will yield 100 bushels per acre
for grain will probably make 20
tons of high quality silage If
1t Is properly handled. In terms
of total food value 100 bushels
of corn contains about 4500
pounds of digestable nutrients.
That's net gain of $500 pounds
of nutrient that can be con-
verted into milk or beef.
Since forage crops are In
short supply this year due TO
the dry weather there is an ad-
ditional advantage to harvesting
corn as silage. 1t can replace
much of the hay In the ra-
lions of livestock, thus reducing
the winter feed bill substan-
TALLY.
If you decide on silage you
should go out In the field now
and check the maturity of the
crop. The corn plant is unique
because it increases in feeding
value as 1t approaches mat
urity. You get top value when
most of the crop has reached
the full dent stage. If it is cut
earlier there is some loss In
food value and total volume.
If 1t is cut too late it may
spoil In the silo. Also there
Is a loss of food value as it
goes beyond the full dent stage.
For best results especially
where large acreages are to be
harvested start cutting when
some of the crop is In the early
dent stage. This will allow time
to finish the harvest before the
crop becomes too mature.
1t is important to chop we'll
maulred corn silage as finely
as possible. This improves
packing and reduces the risk
of spoilage. Don't use a pre-
servadve for corn silage since
it will preserve satisfactorily
under a wide range of cond-
dons.

OVERPLANTING WHEAT al
loments this year can reduce
a farms future allotments. This
is one of several factors which
farmers will want to consider
In planning their 1864 crop op-
erations.
We call attention to a pro-
vision of the law passed In 1858
which can affect farm IS wheat
acreage history. 1t directs that
when no marketing quotas are
in effect, farms exceeding al
lotments will receive that
years allotted acres as history
for future allotments. Comply
ing farms receive their base
acreage as history.
Here is how the provision
will apply on a farm with a
l00-acre wheat base and a 1864
allotment of 90 acres. If a
farmer complies with his allot-
ment. his wheat acreage credit
for 1864 will be based on the
l00-acre history. But II he ex-
ceeds his allotment, he will be
credited with only go acres ir
computing his 1866 allotment.
Overplanting for the 1864
wheat crop will not affect the
1865 allotment since national
and state 1864 wheat acreage
figures will not be available
when allotments are deter
mined.
A farmer who overplants
his 1864 allotment can still
avoid loss of base acreage
history. He can dispose Of
his excess acreage by the
deadline date and still receive
his 1864 base acreage as his
tory credit future allounents
BY complying, he also becomes
eligible for price supports.
Farmers are urged to check
with the Kent county ASC office
for further information on the
1864 wheat program.
