THURSDAY, MAY, 26, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE SEVEN FARM NOTtS ISSk • «»' 11'iimitjiiiiiunnf Weeds pose a serious prob lem for cotton growers this month. The worst cocklebur infesta tion in history is rapidly cov ering many fields where recent rains have provided sufficient moisture. Cool nights continu ing to hold seedling cotton back while weeds that were not con trolled by pre-emergence chem icals are growing rapidly. Some growers have already started fighting the weeds with shallow cultivation by sweeps, rolling cultivators and power rotary cultivators. Cotton must have its first true leaves and be at least 3 inches tall before directed sprays of chemicals can be safely applied. Cotton quality and harvesting efficiency are seriously affect ed by cocklebur, Johnson grass, nutgrass, morning glory and ether weeds. The problems need immediate attention if the weeds are to be controlled. Tomatoes are grown exten sively for home and fresh mar ket use but the crop can sel dom be grown without disease problems. These are some of the most common diseases and their suggested controls. Uootknot Nematodes damage the roots, causing the plant to become stunted and yellow un til it eventually dies. The roots are usually heavily galled. Con trol is by use of pre-plant soil fumigants, which have to be applied at least 2 weeks before planting. Early Blight, caused by a fungus, can be destructive to leaves, stems, and fruit. Dark brown spots develop on leaves and stems, beginning near the ground. The spotted leaves turn yellow and die. The disease will spread gradually up the stalk unless controlled with a spray. Dark rots some times develop at the setm end of fruits. Rotation and use of disease-free trans plants are important. Spray with Maneb at 5 to 7 day intervals, beginning when plants begin to bloom or earlier if spots begin to show on bot tom of leaes. Fusarium wilt causes intense yellowing, stunting, and slow death of vines. The tissues un derneath the outer skin of the stems become dark. Control is by the use of wilt-resistant var ieties, such as Marion, Mana- lucie, and Homestead Manapal. Many tomato varieties available for use do not have resistence to Fusarium wilt. Gray leaf spot, caused by a fungus, occurs first as small brown spots on leaves and stems. The leaves turn dark, shrivel and die. Control is the same as for early blight. The varieties Marion, Manalucie, and Manapal have excellent re sistance to gray leaf spot. Bacterial wilt causes a sud den, rapid wilting of the entire tomato plant. The plant does not usually turn yellow as it does when affected by the slow ly acting Fusarium wilt. Bac terial wilt causes greatest dam age to tomatoes planted on newly cleared land or land that has been laying idle for many years. There are no varieties with good resistance to htis dis ease.

The newest “civil rights” proposal to hit Capitol Hill con tains all the ingedients neces sary for a good political fight. Before the debate is over there will have been a lot of heated words exchanged in the halls of Congress. Hopefully, the American people will learn a- bout the proposal and investi gate it thoroughly. For under its lofty facade, the pending legislation is a hornet’s nest. The proposal is for a national “open housing law.” The pre cise language of the eventual law—if indeed it is passed— is impossible to predict. But the general idea is explicitly clear: it would be unlawful for a homeowner to refuse sale of his home on racial or religious grounds. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, its propon ents assured American voters that the government would never, never interfere with private property. Those who suggested that the Act was just the beginning of a long list of Federal controls were laughed off, and called fearful extremists. Now that the laughing has stopped, it turns out that the extremists were right. Nowhere in the Constitution is the Federal Government giv en the right to control the sale of private property. ‘But the ! powers that be are unworried 1 by Constitutional restraints. They are ready to shrug off any notions about limitation of government. Their object is to legislate what they consider to be “morality.” It is immoral, say these mili tant civil-righters, to be preju diced against anybody. To pre vent mass immorality of this sort, an open housing law will be passed. It will be impossible for anyone to commit the sin of non-selling for a bigoted reason. And really it is for the good of all our spiritual lives. Isn’t that thoughtful of Big Brother? No longer will Am ericans have to decide for them selves what is right and what is wrong. The government will decide it for us, and we will be forced to do what is “right” and avoid what is “wrong.” Life will be a whole lot easier this way. There are of course, some problems involved in this en forced goodness. Suppose the government were someday made up of people who believed that artificial birth control was immoral ? Or, on the other ex treme, what would happen if the Government decided it was immoral to produce more than one child per family ? There are individuals who believe in both of the above positions— but they don’t take it upon »## YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS' 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 themselves to enforce their be liefs upon the public. Bu twhen you cloak an issue —any issue—under the lovely mantle of “civil rights,” nobody is supposed to object. Being against “civil rights” is like being against motherhood and apple pie. What is really at stake in this issue is not civil rights, or morality, or prejudice. The question to be decided is whe ther or not your private prop erty is yours or the Govern ment’s. If the State can tell you to whom you must sell your home, what is to stop it from telling you how much to sell it for? Your titular own ership means little or nothing once the State controls the handling of your property. The right to own and control one’s private property is a natural, inherent right of man. A civil right, on the other hand, is a “right” created by the State. When the lesser right supersteds the natural one, and when private property is no longer a right of all Ameri cans, freedom will have gone down the drain. Remember that when you choose a Congress man and Senator this year.

Because the custom-er is always right. Just right. In shampoos too, there are cus tom blends available. Now why don’t you sit down a minute and think about whether you need one. Ever envy the deep velvet hair of the girl who sits in front of you? You want to almost touch it (not to put in the inkwell, of course) and ask her what the “secret” 4s. Your mane in com parison is lank, limp and lifeless and looks like you sat under an oil gusher. Or you have enough white flakes on your shoulder to build your own snowman. Everyone has suggestions. Some Mother’s are staunch advo cates of Thrifty-Laundry-Soap; others think the Hot-Oil-Hat will make the hair becoming. Maiden Aunts are generally of the borax, beer or bay rum-on-the-hair per suasion. Who hasn’t heard of the lemon wash, the camomile tea treatment, the vinegar douse, and the raw egg mess. We say—and you should too—fie on them. Who wants to smell like a walking pantry anyway? ►So what’s the answer? Good news. Salvation is just around the corner —or as far as your nearest cosmetic counter. Beau tiful Hair Breck has taken your individual problems to heart and has come up with three custom- blended shampoos.

So a girl goes right on wishing and keeps her hands off the table at every special dinner party. But now, and without benefit of magic wands or sparkle dust, every woman can have her wist ful wish for marvelous nails come true. One way to achieve beautiful, longer nails is Helena Rubinstein’s new nail hardener and condi tioner called “Strong and Long”, a truely unique product that creates a protective film that re sists water and detergents like a breeze, and will help prevent breaking, chipping, splitting. There’s no bum, no sting, so one never need clumsy shield^. In addition, its secret formula is not based on formaldehyde— it contains an exclusive discovery to reinforce the natural substances in your nails. Overnight sensation? Dietrich- length nails? No. Precious little that is really worthwhile happens overnight. But watching the marvelous effect on your nails will be rather like watching early spring crocuses growing up out of the snow. How do you work this trans formation? The method is amaz ingly simple. Apply the dear liquid to clean, dry nails with its own brush—just like nail enamel. As soon as the first application dries, after about five minutes, repeat the process. Women who use enamel should be sure the conditioner has dried thoroughly before applying polish. For best results, this nail conditioner should be used twice a week for the first two weeks and once a week or twice a month thereafter, depending on rate of growth. You will find that regular usage will make your nails noticeably stronger from cuticle to tip. Your daily routine of regular hand care to prevent dryness or irritation can continue right along with application of “Strong and Long.” If the conditioner can take in its stride sinks-full of dishes, a brood of boys, a cranky typewriter, or a stubborn zipper, it certainly won’t mind in the least coming in contact with a smoothing hand cream. Once the nail conditioner starts working for you, the next step is —hands on tabletops! And gloat ing is definitely allowed! I mentioned casually last week that Mr. McMeekin, pres ident of the South Carolina El ectric and Gas Co, had brought both electricity and natural gas to our State and behind that decision of the directors of that great company, under the guidance and inspiration of Mr. McMeekin, was not only a careful exhaustive study but a boldness in making effective a splendid service even though it required many millions of dollars, being part of the five hundred million dollars invested in our State by that great or ganization. All this brings to mind a trip of mine across the lower bor der States of our country. Being still full of youthful dreams I need not cite the years, but it was quite some years after Noah left his pass engers go ashore at Mount Ararat. So now, I am thinking of seeing fires along fields in Texas, Arizona and other west ern states. I wondered if the farmers were burning brush be fore planting. But I soon learn ed that those fires were burn ing the gas at oil wells. Now think of that: it is a story of utilizing very profit ably what was regarded as waste. Today, as I recall, the sale of natural gas is about number six among products for sale. Some years before we made natural gas available and pro fitable our farmers learned to sell profitably cotton seed. Many years ago cotton seed was just a troublesome thing of no value. Then it was used for stable bed; and then it was the source of cotton seed oil, and several by-products, all today a valuable source of in come. The Great Giver of all things reveals something useful when ever our need is urgent. We used forests for fuel, then coal, then electricity, then natural gas, and now uranium. What next? There is nothing of utter and absolute waste: we just don’t know all that the Bountiful Provider has stored for our time of need. Perhaps within the next 50 years men will find treasure in the sand hills, in the swamps and in the marshes. “As thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be”, as the hymn tells us. To you that for refuge to Jesus hath fled? Fear not, I am with thee, O be ye not dismayed For I am thj God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand Upheld by my righteous Omnipotent hand.” Since I am honored by many friends who tell me they listen to me on Sundays I like to re fresh their recollection—now and then—of the beautiful hymns of the churches. I cite and quote in part two sweet hymns which are sung in most churches. “Art thou weary Art thou laden Art thou sore distressed? Come to me, saith one, And coming, be at rest: If I ask Him to receive me Will He say to me nay? Not till earth and not till Heaven pass away.” This is said to have been a favorite of Martin Luther: “How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He hath said? ! I am in accord with the President of France in his wish to have foreign troops leave France. We sent troops to France in defence of France In the First and Second World Wars. And we have troops in England and West Germany. There was a reason of pru dence in the beginning, but the time since the Second World War (1945) justifies France and Germany in wishing us to leave. Certainly we have no right to station troops in any foreign country except by pe tition from them; and certainly we have no right to maintain troops against the will of France. Try to imagine how we would feel if French troops were quartered here because they came to our aid in the War of the Revolution! I think someone could make an effective argument for maintaining America for the Americans and having good will for all other nations. Good will, yes; but not maintaining armies and navies all over the world as though we were lords pro tectors of all mankind. of her nine rivals, got only a- bout 143,000. Mrs. Wallace’s triumph was seen as an en dorsement of Gov. Wallace’s anti-Federal policies. He is barred by law from succeeding himself but hopes to continue running the state through his wife. More surprising than Mrs. Wallace’s easy win was the lack of success by Negro can didates, even in areas where Negroes can out-vote whites. Of more than a score of Ne groes running, none won a ciear-cut victory. More than a dozen Negroes face runoff con tests against white opponents May 31. Mist civil-rights leaders saw the results as proof that racism is a long way from dead in Dixie and that Negroes have far to go before they'll play a prominent part in Southern politics.” Can you believe all you hear? No; unfortunately your friend or neighbor just didn’t hear the story correctly or his friend mistook the whole thing. The only safe plan is to hear and J say nothing. If you listen and then comment, basing your comment entirely on your friend’s story, he may repeat that tale as coming from you. Now, then, what about all this story of the sale of Gov ernment supplies and buying them back and paying a profit of a thousand percent? That we are a wasteful peo ple is quite true and it may spring from the superabund ance of things allowed us by the Great Jehovah. It is fully admitted by our officials that millions of dollars of supplies have been declared surplus, therefore virtually worthless, yet we, in need, buy it back at an enormous profit. The things worth nothing, or virtually nothing, last year may prove so necessary that we buy it back at an enormous profit to the seller. How do you account for this? Our discarded war material may be found in France, England, Germany, Veitnam—and quite possibly in the moon, if our men landed there. Is there no method that can regulate our affairs? We have a Comptroller General of the United States. Can he do no thing ? “Lurlee Wallace crushed Ala bama moderates in a landslide victory.

The closest BRIGHT IDEAS FOR BATHROOMS Depending on size of bath room, general light from one shielded overhead fix ture is usually adequate for everything except the mirror. You can, however, give the tub area added interest by having several recessed moisture-proof fixtures containing 100- watt bulbs ever it. c For bathroom mirrors, two re cessed 15-watt fiuoroscont tubes at the sides are recom mended for uniform shadow- free lighting. If you like to keep a tan all year round, place an adjustable sunlamp over the mirror. An unusual idea is hav ing luminous columns of fluted glass shielding Syl vania 40-waft fluores cent tubes and fixtures. These supply full-length mbrer lighting, help with general illumination and give tho bathroom a “decorator" look. “High speed train service be tween New York and Wash ington is to be provided by the Pennsylvania railroad under a Commerce department contract.

Our nation is going—and has gone—down the road to what seems to be a phase of im becility almost beyond serious contemplation. At the risk of exaggeration I am disposed to think that the greatest blessing that could come to America would be to wipe out all the legislation of the past six years. Then we might rebuild on safe founda tions. Of course there is a pos sibility that most of us are now so accustomed to the new prodigality that we could not conform to what used to be sanity.

JA. msyam\ SENATOR STRO URMOND Reports PEOPLE THE MOST MISMANAGED WAR—PART 1 IN THE CATEGORY of “mismanaged wars,” the war on poverty heads the all-time list. The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) e s t a b- lished in 1964 to conduct this “war” to eliminate poverty, has launched many campaigns in its two-year history. Not much poverty has been elim inated, but all sound rules for administration of government funds have been demolished. AMONG THE MORE adven turous expeditions launched by the OEO Is the Job Corps. In this program, 97 Job Corps centers have been set up throughout the nation , to feed, house, and “train” 22,0811 en- rollees, all supposedly young people caught In the web of poverty. The cost per enrollee, as reported by the OEO, is $4,650 for nine months, almost twice the cost of tuition at Harvard. The national average spent per school child Is $484 per year. MORE THAN $292.5 million in federal funds have been obligated to the Job Corps. At Camp Atterbury, in Indiana, the cost per enrolee is an ex orbitant $22,000, and yet this $10 million project has proved unworkable. SQUANDERING OF public funds is by no means the only shortcoming of the Job Corps. Even unlimited funds cannot compensate for poor adminis tration. SOUTHERN ILLINOIS was given a $9 million grant to op erate a Job Corps at Camp Breckenridge. Kentucky, for a maximum of 2,000 young peo ple. As of January, 1966, the effort produced 250 dropouts and 8 graduates. This record setting performance cannot be attributed to a pupil-teacher overload, for in November, 1965. the enrol lees outnum- oered the staff by only the narrow margin of 358 to 350. After sensational “exposure” type news stories broke In Hie press, the Director of the Breckenridge Camp was fired because his wife and the wives of 51 other middle-management staff employee* were on the Camp’s payroll. FEWER EXPOSURES have come to light slnoe January, for at that time, the Job Corps clamped tight censorship on the release of figures on drop outs. The censorship was, ac cording to the OEO, necessary In order to give a “more bal anced picture of the program’s effectiveness.” OF ALL THE programs in the “war. on poverty,” the Job Corps comes closest to taking on a “warlike" posture. |N KALAMAZQO, Michigan, a group of Job Corps trainees clashed with a rival group in a riot that spread over several city blocks and required 50 policemen to queft. In [Texas, three Job Corpsmen yppui^ charged with shooting two A& v Forte policemen. Warrants Were issued Ur Kingsport; TetH .. nessee. for two Job Corps trainees, charging them with bludgeoning two victims with a lead pipe. At the Charleston. West Virginia Women’s Cen ter. there were reported drunken fights, thievery, and immoral conduct. AT THE MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho, Conservation Center, another Job Corps Camp, the Director reported that 18 of 37 prospective train ees had criminal records, sev eral of whom had serious and repeated offenses. OEO or dered these prospects accepted, nevertheless. Subsequently, one of the trainees, who was on parole from California after three felony convictions, beat and stabbed a fellow trainee in a dormitory fight. NO ONE CAN accuse the Job Corps of not taking care of Its own, however. It to a policy of the Job Corps to pro vide legal services for the de fense of Job Corpsmen faced with criminal proceedings. THE “WAR ON POVERTY.” although waged for more than two years, has brought us no nearer to victory over the enemy.. IF CONGRESS should agree to “escalate” this “war”. by voting greatly increased funds, as requested fay the Adminis tration. members should expsct and deserve the taxpayers to declare a war of their own— on the members who vote for more money.
