COUNCIL RAPS SEGREGATION
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 6.—The
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America today denounced
race segregation and recommended
that the 25 denominations in its
membership do likewise.
The council, meeting in special
session to deal with postwar prob
lems of its 25,000,000 church-goers,
adopted without dissent a long re
port calling “special attention to the
unchristian character and unfortu
nate results of the segregation pat
tern?”
SENATE SEEKING STRIKE CURB
WASHINGTON, Mar. 6.—Senate
sentiment was increasing tonight for
some sort of legislative curb on the
right of workers to strike in utilities
which affect public health and wel
fare.
On the eve of the telephone strike,
senators working on labor legisla
tion were talking about compulsory
arbitration or cooling-off periods in
disputes^ affecting public utilities of
a quasi-ipuiblic nature. Those are
the utilities whose rates are fixed
by government.
A mater brought to the fore by
this winter’s capital transit strikes
and more recently by the New York
tug-boat and other tie-ups, it is
one of several corrective measures
that will be suggested tomorrow to
an executive meeting of a Senate
Education and Labor subcommittee.
The committee postponed its
scheduled meeting today, due to
other business. It is seeking a more
moderate form of the Case strike
control bill recently oassed by the
House.

BODY ASKS SOLONS BE BOMB
TAPGETS INSTEAD OF GOATS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 6.—
Jood goats are scarcer than good
xingressmen.
At least that’s the opinion of the
Southern Dairy Goat Owners and
Breeders association.
The association sent a protest to
Washington today against a Navy
proposal to put 300 goats on a ship
:or the forthcoming atom bomb ex-
jeriments.
Good goats are too scarce, they
laid.
They suggested “some of the con
gressmen” be used as substitutes.
MORE SUGAR PREDICTED
FOR CANNING
WASHINGTON, Mar. 6.—House
wives may get a little more sugar
for home canning this year than last
season.
OPA revealed this yesterday in
announcing that spare stamp num
ber nine will become valid next Mon
day for five pounds of sugar.
The agency said it expects to
validate another home canning stamp
in June or July. It added that the
value of the second stamp cannot be
fixed now but was not likely to be
good for any more than five pounds.
A grant of 10 pounds a person
would be 3 1-2 pounds more than the
average home canning allotment
last year.
FOR BETTER FERMINR
Suggestions by P. B. Ezell
County Agent
To get ready for a better year in
farming, County Agent P. B. Ezell
makes these better farming sugges
tions for March:
Agronomy
Make save, and use farm manures
and compost in producing crops.
Study the nods of your soil for food
to feed the plants to be grown and
buy fertilizer to suit. Plan to manu
facture nitrogen on the farm; that
is, grow more legumes. Buy enough
certified seed to grow your next
year’s supply (to maintain quality
production). If not already sown,
sow lespedeza early in March. Make
last top-dressing on grain before
end of month.
Horticulture
Set out fruit trees for home or
chards if not already set. Plant
raspberries, blackberries, and straw
berries early in this month. Apply
spring fertilizer to orchards. Plant
hardy vegetables—cabbage, turnips,
mustard, spinach, kale, lettuce. Make
plans for vegetables for home use
throughout ;he year. Get gardening
publications The vegetable garden
was never more important than now
because of the world food shortage.
Insects and Diseases
Treat cotton to prevent damping-
off and to obtain better stand. Mach-
ine-delinting of cotton seed should
be done before and not after treat
ing with mercury dust. Get and
study Extension Bulletin 96, “Im-
pertant Field Crop Insects”, for crop
insect control. Control outworms
with poisoned bran mash. Use cut
worm collars around valuable garden
plants. Plant wilt-resistant toma
toes and cotton. Get extension circu
lar 262 “Longer Life for Fence
Posts.” Give bses better care to
make a larger crop of honey. Clean
and repair all bee equipment. New
equipment will be hard to get.
Agricultural Engineering
Check over all farm machinery
for needed repairs, and purchase or
order parts now. Put planters and
fertilizer distributors in shape right
away. Plow terraces before plant
ing ti give them extra width and
height. Investigate the possibilities
of irrigating the vegetable garden.
GIVE!
A bit of boogie woogie or a
ood old-fashioned songfest go far
ward dispelling that homesick
(eling of many a serviceman over-
sas. Portable pianos, used by the
ed Cross in hospital recreation
rograms and in its clubs abroad
>st $311. Your contribution will
sip make recreatfon programs more
vely.
