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.

WHOSE HOUSE IS YOUR
HOME?
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

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.

Custom-er Is Always Right
If you’ve ever experienced the
luxury of having something made
just for you—clothes, cosmetics,
a new hairstyle—you’ll remember
the delicious fe&ing it brings.
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. Over-Oily?
Not any more. Too DaYn Dry?
Rinse that problem away. Nor
mal? Lucky you to be able to
stay that way. Give yourself a
Breck break soon and see what
glorious things these individual
ized blends do for your hair.

Be Beautiful to Your Fingertips
NEW YORK (CFN)—Is there a woman in the house—young
homemaker, harried mother of four, or chic hat-on-in-the-office
career gal—who hasn’t muttered these immortal words, “I wish
I could do something about my nails!”
Some women depend upon an °
assortment of gloves to shield
their nails during housework,
gardening, or end-of-the-month-
clerical-file-time at the office.
-— —
I
Frankly, gloves often just cover
up an already existing set of un
lovely nails. 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 ?

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

the 226-mile trip in less than
three hours at speeds up to 110

It must be very comforting
to be as ignorant of rudimen
tary Economics as some of our
leaders are, apparently, for if
they are not grossly wrong then
they misjudge all the rest of
us and are advocating a lot of
trials and trivialities that are
nauseating to sound people.
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.

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.
