HAMILTON Clemaon Collesre Extension Information Specialist MUSKRATS m TOUR PONDt Keeping the dam of your pond free of dense vegetative cover at and below the water level re duces muskrat digging, accord ing to Fish and Wildlife Service. Pond owners are frequently alarmed by this animal’s appar ent efforts to break dams and spill out water the owner has so laboriously attempted to pre serve. The pond owner who is anger ed by the mischievous behavior of these rodents might reduce his blood pressure by studying the habits of this rodent. Muskrats start the entrance to their burrows under water, and preferably under steep slopes having a dense vegetative cover. After digging below the water for some distance, they excavate a dry chamber above the water line where they raise three to five litters of young muskrats each year. Since the dam is the feature you’re most interested about, keeping it free of vegetation above and below the water line discourages his digging. Main taining a good slope to the dam also aids in discouraging him. The fish and wildlife special ists say the slope on the water side of the dam should never be steeper than a three to one ratio. To obtain this slope it is good to use gravel or coarse sand which fills Jiis burrows as he digs, causihg the muskrat to choose another location for his “house.” Muskrats can be attracted to points away from the dam by providing an environment more to his liking at a safe distance up the lake. Here, you’d want to provide steep slopes, and al low the vegetation to grow hop ing, of course, to induce him to dig here rather than into the dam. Constructing this favorable place for muskrat breeding may not be to your liking, but you might rationalize the cut by real izing it is the lesser of two evils. If .you want to take more drastic measures against the muskrats, you might call your game warden for suggestions. The muskrat is a protected fur bearing animal (the most im portant fur animal in the U. S.) But he can be, and is, a pest in many ponds in South Caro lina. • * • WEEDS AGAIN With spring comes the annual bout with weeds. Jon W. Hooks, Clemson agronomist, says weeds and their control in cotton cost South Carolina farmers fully 16 million dollars annually. I don't have the values for other crops. However, Dr. Warren C. Shaw, Betsville, Md., says losses due to weeds and the cost of their control would come to about 4 billion dollars annually in the United States. Last year farmers used about 200 million pounds of herbicides which cost them 200 million dol lars. Herbicides are rapidly be coming the chief tool for con trolling weeds in crops and pas tures. The chemical 2, 4-D Amine used at a rate of % to 1 pound per acre kills most broadleaf weeds in pastures. YoUr county' agent can advise you as to the best time to spray for good con trol. If you plap to use it with nitrogen solutions ask for the specoal recommendations. • • • COTTON EXPORTS UP U. S. exports of all types of cotton during August-January of the current season were 2.7 mil lion running bales, double the 1.35 million for the same period last season, according to a U. S. Department of Agriculture source. This is 14 per cent above the 2.4 million average for the last 5 seasons. SENATOR I STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE The Hidden Monster IN THE PENDING so-called civil riphts lepislation there are many provisions which are ex treme. impractical, and uncon stitutional Some bad features are covered up by what some consider to be worse provisions which are petting all the public attention Classified as being the worst features of the bill are Title ll on so-called publi. ac commodations. Title VI on fund withholding, and Title VII on FEPC Title VI would provide a multi-billion dollar blackiack with which to force integration and could stand as a powerful bill by itself Titles II and VII provide for integration of pri vate life, private property and private business. LURKING behind these ob noxious titles is the old Title III of the 1957 “civil rights” bill. It has now been redesigned as Title IV in this bill This title would give the Attorney General vir tual carte blanche authority to force integration of public schools at his whim under the threat of trial without fury for those refusing to comply with court orders he obtains from Judges, most of whom he ap pointed to the bench. WHEN PRESIDENT, then Senator, Johnson led the success ful move to strike these “poison ed fangs” from the 1957 bill, his act was hailed as a tremendous victory for moderation, reason, and good judgment The dragon had been slain. NOW THAT race agitators and leaders of lawless mobs are demanding preferential rights under the threat of more vio lence, there is strong likelihood that Title IV may be approved without amendment in the Sen ate. The House added one pro viso in an attempt po sweep un der the rug Northern protests over the “busing” of children across town to ccrect racial imbalances in Northern schools In a further effort to muffle ris ing Northern opposition to the bill, <1 orthera Senators are now criticizing the proponed “stall- in” at the New York World’s Fair. This is being tabbed as a “civil wrong" insteac of a “civil right.’' evidently because tht« demonstration Is scheduled for the North instead of the South. TITLE IV auy be approved because all the attention la be ing focused on Titles H, VL and VIL Yet, this title could wreak more havoc in race relations, especially in the Sonth. than any provision In the MB. THIS TITLE on dsMgncationi of public education is a force provision which is impractical and unconstitutional and which also confers preferential rights on a minority There are some school districts where integra tion of the races may never be feasible until the population ra tios are adjusted to nearer the national population ratio of whites to non-whites. TITLE IV is unconstitutional because it would deny the right of trial by jury as specified in the Constitution in Article 1 HI and the 6th Amendment. It is also unconstitutional because the Federal Government has been delegated no authority over the field of education in the Consti tution. PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS are conferred on a minority by empowering the Attorney Gen eral to go into court to sus in the name of the Government for any non-white desiring to at tend a different school. TITLE IV also provides for payment of “technical assist ance” money which could b' used to bribe school districts to in tegrate. It also provides for in tegration institutes for teachen and also for bureaucratic sur veys of local school facilities and operations to be studied by the centralizers in Washington. TOO MANY who are aapport- ing this legislation are ignorant of its powerful provisions. Some ministers who have not studied the bill have appealed to me te vote for the bill or be con demned as being on-Chriatian or immoral. One ministei pleaded with me to pass the bill so the government would prevent him from sinning against his “Negro brethren” DR. BILLY GRAHAM haa provided a good answer to those do-gooders who have not studied the bill. Ha stated recently: ‘“There is absolutely no solution for such human relations unless both sides are willing tr meet this problem with Christian love. It can be accomplished in no other way. It ia no mors right for tha majority to he deprived of civil liberties by force than it is for tha minority.” H. R. 7152 is certainly not tha answer to race problems in this country. In fact, it wfll create more problems than^it wfll ever aohre. This is why tha entire bill must be defeated, regardless of tile demands at the lawless mobs or the misguldhd tio-gooden.
