Thursday, March 29,1956 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE By C. B. CANNON, County Agoni The deputy, with the prisoner, went before the local judge to complete extradition papers. Hie judge attempted to influence th« prisoner to oppose extraction by saying, “You don’t want to go back to South Carolina and be thrown in a dirty jail or put back bn the gand where you will be abused, do you?” The answer was, “Yes, Sir.” The prisoner had rather serve time for his crime in South Carolina among under standing friends than to be in New York among hypocrites. 'this is an instance of attempted influence being exertde upon the Negro of the South to make him dissatisfied with his home and neighbors. Then, of course, the greater source of unrest comes by the efforts of the Communsit-in- spired, left-wing units of labor unions who are the backers and sponsors of the NAACP. ♦Since the expulsion of the Ne gro from the University of Ala bama the tempo of verbal battle has increased. Autherine Lucy may, now have her eye on a more remunerative in Hollywood or as a model in New York City. If the worst comes to pass in this controversy the Negro will certainly get the worst end of the deal. This fact is the will of the Cre ator and no man or group of men can change it. It is -reasonably certain that there will not in this generation be social equality in the Deep South. In this part of the country the birds of the air know better, all kinds and colors live peacefully together, yet no one has ever known of a blue bird and a black bird fraternizing. While gloating over a termed measure of success some members of the NAACP have, by vitupera- Page Nine tion, reverted to the cowardly tac tics employed by the left.wing unions and of their old foe, the KICK . Apparnetly many members of the high brass have inflamed im aginations, they know and care little of actual existing conditions. EDWARD C. HENDERSON Clinton PLANT COASTAL BERMUDA Coastal Bermuda sprigs at once, Farmers are urged to plant although the sprigs may be set from early spring to early fall M. B. Henderson, Owings com munity, set three acres just be fore the last rains, using sprigs from his seed patch grown onr his farm. He used the furrow meth od in sprigging the Coastal Ber. muda. ° Hie sprigs should be planted on well prepared soil in high season in 30 to 40 inch narrow rows. Ap ply and mix thoroughly in soil, 600 to 800 pounds per care of a 3-12-12 or 4-12-12 fertilizer in drill. It is not best to broadcast the fertilizer due to grass and weeds in the middles. Freshly dug sprigs dropped 20 to 30 niches apart in drill and covered by running tractor wheels on edge of furrow at once to press sprigs in soft soil. Coast al Bermud asprigs should not be completely covered up—this is different from sodding native ber- muda. As soon as the Coastal Ber muda grass begins shoeing new growth apply nitrogen on the row and cultivate between rows to keep down grass and weeds so the new runners of the bermuda will peg down to the soil. Another method in sprigging Coastal Bermuda is to make small beds and set sprigs similar to set ting sweet potato sphouts. How ever, this is a slower method than hte tractor system. Also there are plant setting machines that may be used, provided the ma chine will not cover the sprigs completely and plant when soil is in high season. Experiments art Clemson college have proven that Bermuda grass contains 1.9 per cent more protein than alfalfa when fertilized and limed according to recommended practices. The experiments at Clemson college further showed a net in come of $80.56 per acre from Coastal Bermuda es compared to $15.69 per acre from common ber muda in beef cattle garzing test. Dairy cattle do well on Coastal Bermuda. Coastal grass may be , used not only for grazing, but as silage and hay. Under the ASC program a soil building practice payment of $17.15 per acre may be earned, us ing 15 bushels of certified sprigs and fertilizer and limet per acre according to regulations.

PEACH DAMAGE Spot checking of commercial peach orchards the first part Of the week showed severe damage to very light damage to commer cial peaches. It is too early to de termine the extent of a peach crop. On peach trees in low places the bud crop is killed more se verely than peaches on higher sites. It is hoped that with the large crop of peach buds that a fair crop of peaches will be pro duced, however, this early in the season it is hard to tell whether the peach buds, apparently good now, will stick on the tree and produce peaches. It is a certain fact, though, that the peach buds cannot stand many more freezing nights and still have a crop. i Public Forum Editor The Chronicle: This writer knows of an escap ed South Carolina chaingang pris oner (Negro) captuerd in New York after a period of liberty in the big city. Ae deputy sheriff (not from Laurens county) went there to return him to this state.
