The Local White Church Kneel.In
Pray-In Attempts

While the kneel-in and pray-in demonstrators
acting in the name of Negro civil rights have been
attempting to invade local white Protestant church
eS here Sunday after Sunday, we have been a.
waiting the that they have succeeded in in
tegration of the local Jewish Synagogue and the
Greek Orthodox Church out on West Capitol St.
The first reason of course why there has been
no kneel-in pray-in attempts at the Jewish Syn
agoge and the Greek Orthodox Church is because of
the long established right of equal protection under
law guaranteed to all people of various racial and
national backgrounds, living under the heterogen-
eous canopy which is the real United States of
America; and for the further reason that any
Negro or group of Negroes, would look ridiculous
trying to integrate a Jewish synagoge and Greek
Orthodox Church.
This leads to the proposition that Jewish
Synagogue and a Greek Orthodox Church being
guaranteed the equal protection of the law-against
efforts of ntegrationist-every other group
whether designated as white protestants, or by any
other name, is also operating under that guar
antee and should be free from kneel-in and pray
in demonstrators, whether for Negro civil rights
or any other purpose.
We recognize the fact that the church knee-
ms and pray-ins, nstigated primarily by the Con-
gress Racial Equality whose pronounced pol
icy is that of using the Negro problem to constant
ly embarass the United States Government has
little or no concern for the realities of Negro
rights in this country.
What the white church kneel-in and pray-ins
accomplishing is only increased enimity in the
Wnlte community against Negroes IN general, and
is deferring rather than speeding the coming of
full recognition of Negroes as citizens of Jackson
and of the state.
In conclusion, we would urge those among
us of intelligence and influence to completely g-
more, and cease to contribute either in words or
money, to this useless effort on the part of the
Twentieth century carpet-baggers, and their i'm
ported Negro stooges, who have come into the
state to exploit the Negro issue, with little or no
regard to the future and the realities of Negro
white relations in the state

Waterways Experiment Stations
Contribute To Economy Of The State

Central Mississippi's economy
is stimulated by the employ
ment, purchases and activities
of the U. S. Corps of Engineers
Waterways Experiment Stations
located at Vicksburg and in the
Clinton-Jackson area. The staff
of the stations numbers more
than 1000 persons, and 1873 new
employees were added during
the past year.
Many of these are profession
al engineers and scientists of
international reputation. At the
Vicksburg installation, there
are 842 civilian and "a military
personnel. At the Jackson in
stallation, where a model of the
Mississippi river is located and
where studies are carried on at
the concrete division, are 176
civilian and five military en-
ployees. About 100 engineers at
the Installations are graduates
of Mississippi schools.

FOODS-NATURAL OR
UNNATURAL

With all this fuss from time
to time about what we should
eat and what we should not eat,
We hear a lot of talk about
natural" and "un-natural''
foods. Let's be honest about
this. There are no such things.
To counteract all this nonsence
about what food is natural or
ideal for man, it behooves all
of us to keep reminding people
that the basic reason why we
consume any food at all is be-
cause our bodies require, not
any particular kind of food, but
certain nutrients protein.
minerals, vitamins, energy-pro-
ducing carbohydrates and fats
That is why we learn early to
include a balanced, moderate
diet daily of the four basic
foods: meats, fruits and vege-
tables, breads and cereals, and
the family of dairy foods.

Ranlie Tested As
Fiber Crop But
Not Recommended

Ranlie is a fiber-producing
tropical plant occasionally con-
sidered as a possible crop for
Mississippi. G. D. Green, Ex-
pertinent Station agronomist at
Mississippi State university,
recently summarized the states
experience with ramie and con-
cluded that prospects for this
crop are not bright at present.
Considerable enthusiasm for
the crop has arisen from time
to time in various quarters, Mr..
Green said. AS early as 1890
the Mississippi Agricultural
Experiment Station grew some
ramie in tests. Delta Branch
Station tried it in the 1940's
and small areas were grown
at the Central Station at State
College as late as 1869. The
dried bark fiber ribbons were
sent to the Everglades Expert
ment Station in Florida for pro-
cessing and testing. Ramie pro-
duced here did not measure up
to that grown in the Everglades
in yield nor quality.
Prospects for ramie as a
commercial crop Of much i'm
portance in Mississippi at the
present time do not appear
bright" Mr.. Green said. ut
can be grown, and would prob
ably do well on good soils in
the southern part Of the state
if it were highly fertilizeed
and irrigated when needed
Before widespread produc-
ton Of the crop takes place,
several things must come to
pass. Manufacturers must want
large quantities Of it and be
assured Of adequate supplies Of
the desired quality. Producers

Satisfactory equipment for pro-

Research Shows
How To Maintain
Cotton Quality

Deterioration of cotton be-
tween harvest and ginning time
has been studied at the Delta
Branch Experiment Station in
an effort to preserve high quail
ty of both lint and seed during
storage.
r. E. Parker, and other U.
S. Department of Agriculture
engineers working at Delta Sta
ton, recently reported On sew
eral years of study during which
time they stored cotton under
varying temperature and humi-
dity conditions.
Mr.. Parker summarized his
research report as follows:
"Based on research, the fol-
lowing recommendations are
suggested to insure the preser-
walton Of cotton's quality from
the time it is harvested to- the
time it is ginned:
81. Producers should make
every effort to harvest only dry
cotton. Cotton can be stored
reasonably safe if it is picked
after morning dews have dried
off and before dark.
"2. Ginners should attempt to
gin Immediately any cotton that
arrives at the gin in an ex-
tremely wet condition. Ginning
Of sborderline' loads Of cotton
may be delayed. However, il
these bales Of cotton begin to
heat, they should be ginned as
soon ~ possible.
%. Tramping damp seed cot
ton on trailers should be avoid

Total payroll for the fiscal
year 1863 totaled $6,246,000. In
1862, a total of 10000 visitors
registered at the installations.
Of this number, approximately
one-fourth came to Vicksburg
for the express purpose of
study and consultation regard
ing IVES testing. Others were
tourists. Vicksburg claims more
foreign visitors than any other
city in Mississippi because of
the nG<cber of persons from
foreign countries who annually
visit the IVES for observation
and training.
Originally planned as a lab
oratory for studying flood con-
troll problems on the Mississip-
pi river, activities of the in
stallation cover virtually every
type of engineering problem of
interest to the government to-
day.

Problems Face
New Oil Crops
In Mississippi

New oil seed crops for Mis-
sissippi, and especially the Del
ia, such as Safflower, Seasame,
and Castorbeans, have been
tested extensively at Delta
Branch Experiment Station.
Research reports indicate,
however, that none seem to of
fer any real opportunity at this
time.
T. W. Culp, USDA agronom-
ist, who has been testing these
crops at Stoneville, makes the
following observations:
Safflower makes an excellent
edible oil and brings a good
price but several years of test
ing has shown the crop is not
adapted to Delta conditions. Ac-
ceptable stands of safflower are
hard to get because of excess
sive moisture at planting time,
and hard to maintain because of
root rot throughout the grow
ing season. Surviving plants
produce inferior seed and low
yields.
Seasame offers little more
promise. Research has shown
that excellent yields may be
produced during most years. The
problem is present varieties
cannot be satisfactorily harvest
ed by mechanical means in this
area of high humidity and rain
fall. Until more easily harvest
ed varieties are developed, Sc
same can be recommended only
to farmers who understand the
problems and have the time and
patience to do a good job of
harvesting.
Castorbeans are beset by a
disease problem. Tests have
shown that capsule drop causes
extremely high losses and that
this disease must be controlled
before castorbeans become a
commercial crop in this area.
Resistant varieties are consid-
cred the best approach. In the
meantime, early harvest before
the capsules drop is the best
means of avoiding loss. Pros
pective producers, however,
should have definite harvesting
and selling arrangements made
before planting this crop.

no holds barred by either side.
During the recent Democratic
primaries in themselves
rip roaring vote getting hassles
the uncontested candidacy
of the Republican Rubel Phillips
was relegated to the position of
scant comparative consideration
by the voters. But all that has
undergone a drastic change in
the closing days of the cam

fateful years. Our rapidly ex-
panding industrial development
will bring new problems of liv-
ing and if we are to live
out this future, with its glowing
prospects, together in peace
and harmonious goodwill, the
