Clemson, March 14. A revised
ecuuon 01 circular m, x ouiiry
Sanitation and Health, ' is now
being distributed by the Clemson"
Extension Service; It was prepared
by P. H. Gooding, leader, Clem
son Poultry Extension Work;?
Topics discussed in the circular
include brooding chicks on clean
ground, keeping the laying housed
clean, use of the double yarding sys
tem, the value of good rations, nu
tritional, diseases, common diseases,
turkey diseases, parasites,
poisoning, tonics for laying hens,
disinfectants in drinking water,
common disinfectants, controlling
flies, and whitewash formulas,
Mr. Gooding points out that
the"- .greatest enemies of poultry
ate disease germs and external
~md-tnternal parsites. He says the,
primary requirement for a healthy
flock is starting with strong, vigorous
chicks. However, the flock
t must be kept healthy by constant
attention to management of soil on
which the chicks run and by control
of parasites, which often lead
to some of the disease caused by
, germs- Mr. Gooding cautions that
poultry diseases are costly in that
they cause losses by death, retard
grtfwth, and decrease egg produc/
tibn. /
"It is not possible to control^ill
poultry diseases by sanitation, yet
it is an established fact that strict
sanitary practices are helpful in
controlling most disesaes and in
keeping a flocky healthy," he
states. "Any program which will
protect the growing stock from
contact with mature birds and
with ground infested?with parasites
and germs offers a practical
*** means of controlling diseases.
"The first requirement for controlling
any disease is a correct
diagnosis," ha countinues. "Poultry

The Southern whites of liiberal
persuasion constitute the most for
midable trroun with which the
segregationists have tohTeaTT KOTit
is common knowledge that when
a Southerner becomes a convert to
a cause, he goes all out and all the
time andvunder all circumstances
There is no more vigorous defen
der of a cause than the Southerner,
i once he committed.
Lynching enjoyed what seemed
like an indefinite currency until
Southern women led Mrs.?JessieDaniel
Ames, great southerner,
gave the lie to the then prevailing
propganda^ that lynching was essential
to the protection of South
ern womanhood. Mrs. Ames and
hnr?mpportinc group Tinnn drov<
Judge Lynch to the Wall, where he
dares, not raise his bloody head.
So when Southerners more and
more begin to espouse the cause of
democracy as embodud in intcgra-?
tion, we may expect happy deve-*
hlopments. The cause of full demo
cracy is by no m6at\S lost in the?
t South, in spite of its Talmadges
' and its byrneses. There are rites
|~who. have resolved?to, make the
I South a decent?and?democratic
j place in which to live.
I For years and years this writer
I has been contending that there is
| good will and oral decency in the ^
South to save"thc interracial situa
ddon It?was?contended that moral
courge was he great requisite to
complete interracial understanding
in the South. The latant Negrophobes
have long held sway and
the demagogue, has had a field day;
but there .were signs that the latent
moral courage is beginning to
assert itself and the cause of better
race relations is being wonder
fully served.
, Lillian Smith with her vigorous
writings is being heard with a con
viction heretofore to manifest. Her
strange Fruit and her Killers of j
the Dream and her more recent I
^ Now . The Time are making a portent.
impression on the current situation.
Now comes Mrs. Sarah
Boyle of Charlottesville Virginia, a
Southerner to the manor born, with
her chalnging article of recent date
in Saturday Evening Post declaring
that Southerners will like integration
The opposition that Mrs. Boyles'
article stirred is easily one of its
finest points. Their point of view
bristles with moral challenge! the
criticisms of her gainsayers are
deeped in prejudicial lore of the
Old South that is currently dying
a natural death. Mrs. Boyle's article
looks toward 2055 AD and that
of her critics hark back to 1855.
The world nor the critical situations
thereof cannot be daved by
some nostalgic forla devised by pre
judieed human creatures who can
not bring thcmsolvesto realize that
a Civil War has been fought and
lost by those who take their great
est pride in feeling better than"
some of God's unfortunate' children.
The South needs saving from j
these happiest creatures who spe- j
cialize in trying to throw stumb-1
ling blocks irt the way of fellow
| travelers.

Next?
In This Our Day
By C. A. Chick, Sr. \v~~j
"FEAR NOT"
It was the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt who, during the
days of the Great Depression said
to the American, people that they
had nothing to fear hut fear itself.
Now most certainly I am not attempting
to compare myself with
Roosevelt. However, with inference
to the stock market investigation
by the Senate Banking Com
mittee I am taking the liberty to
say especially to Negroes that they
need not fear or be alarmed. It is
the legal right and duty of the Con
gress to investigate in and all busi
ness. if it is feit that something is
going wrong, that may be classes
as interstate commerce business.
It is my considered opinion that
the Congress should investigate all
such business concerns including
stock markets more that it does,
Personally I am pleased that the
Senate is investigating the stock
market. If the investigation should
discover any unethical and economi
cally unsound practices, it most cer
tainly woyld be the duty of the Con
gress to order such practices discontinued.;?
And, the Congress
would do just that The investing
public in particular and the Ameri
can people in general would be the
? -r ? ?? ?
..v.iuiuniicb ui suen an order -by
the Congress. On the other hand,
if the Senate Banking Committee
does not uncover any unethical and
economically unsound practices on
the stock market, the confidence of
the investing public in particular
and the American people in general
in the market will be greatly in
creased. They, thusa, will invest
more in stocks .n th> lutuie than
they have in the past. The foregoing
will enal<fc? our business con
cern.- to expand tiw.r plants an 1
facilities, thus, supplying peqple
with more and better goods and
services. In other words, if no glaring
unfair practices are disclosed
on the stock market by the Committee
the American people will
still he the beneficiaries of the investigation.
So, "heads or tails"
we, the people win,
The vast majority of newspaper
articles and editorials as well as ra
dio commentators seem to he thoroughly
convinced that the ..stock
market is ethically and economical
lv sound It is true that the prices
of stocks declined when the investigation
\vas-ffrst begun. But that
was uKsnmmffile-ttr anyone who has
he slighest knowledge regarding
stock market operations. The pri

County Agent Jackson of Wil
liamshurg gave me thb figure!
from T. O. Baxley's farm. On the
3.4 acres of tobacco he had watei
for he veraged 2,498 pounds pei
acre that brought $1,<507 32 pei
acre. On his 6.1 acres not. irrigated
he made 1,398 pounds per acre
jthat brought $900.30.
T~^-Jackson says 40 to 50 more irr
gation outfits are gqing in this
i
summer.
Last, year at Clemson cotter
made 0(50 pounds, of seed cottor
per acre without irrigation! Varied
[irrigation rreSTmorits gave?yields
j runnng from 1,300 to 2,150 pounds
* of seed cotton per acre.
In this same experiment, corn
made absolutely nothing without
irrigation. With, the varied treatments
yields ran from 09 to 91
bushels per acre.
Common Bermuda grass made
only .0 of at ton of hay without it,
With varying applications of Irri
iration water the?fields?run?ft-nm
3 to 5 tons per acre.
Pearl millet, usually considered
orre of-the bast drought-resistant
crops, made but .7 of a ton of hay
But responded to varying applications
of irrigation with 2.7 to 4.E
Elberta peaches not watered a
veraged 3 7 bushels per tree. Thos<
treated to different applicatior
rates and timings of- - irrigatior
made from 4.7 to 6 bushels of finei
fruit ppr tr?p.
Folks, remember this; water u
the important thing. First hav<
"some competent authority helj
you determine the amount of watei
I you have or can get. Then you cat
act intelligently. Your county a
gent and SCS man can help yoi
with this initial determination
And then if Sufficient water is
I found, they can help you design ^
i suitable irrigation system.
( NEW SOY BEAN
County Agent Thompson o:
Hampton says the Lee soy beai
was the most shatter-resistant on<
they had last year. Duo to the e:
treme drought, other vurietie:
that were normally shatter-resis
ant did shatter considerably.
Soy beans following grain an
growinr in nopularity. Thpmpsci
says they had 25,000 ac-es thu
planted last year. And thi? yea
too most of their grajn will be fol
lowed b& them. This not only twi
money crops from that land a yea
but it also adds two heavy roug
,>?
ces of stock are very sensitive. Th
outcome of a baseball game ma;
cause a change^ in stock prices. Ce
tainly such prices are affected b;
the law of supply of and demand
just as other prices are. When th
investigation first started ther
was a wave of psychological feai
Everybody startccI^seJTihg thei
stocks. Thus, prices went down. I
a large number of people would a
~ tempt to sell their?kmd?at?orr
time, the price of land would g
down.
It should be pointed out tha
"j while the stock prices were deolin
j ing several days ago, fnr-sightei
; business concerns -\wre spehdinj
millions of dollars in expendini
their building, purchasing new ma
cbinery, and carrying on research
es as to how to make new good
and to find new used for goods al
ready made. Such activities as thi
1 foregoing will enable our busines:
:_t;oncerns to supply us with mor<
' e?n<l better goods and services
And, in the long run the prices o:
stocks are determined not by shor
periods of psychological fear as w<
now apparently have, but by1 th<
I -r ,* ?
uLviviucs ui our lactones, tianks
merchants, transportation systems
- <?tr F.vpn though the prices ol
stock may decline momentarily at
any piven time, in the lonp run the
trend of pood stock is up.
Thus, apain, I repeat, let us not
fear. It may he that we are on the
verpe of an economic revolution
Let \rs (Neproes) he on the alert
for pooeL and sound investments
thafwemay ride the waves of this
present expandinp economy and ec

?GRAIN STORAfLE
, Harper and Bowers of Estill
have provided that area with the^j
finest grain storage I've seen. I j
went in there at dusk the other I
day. Silhouetted against the glow
that still lingered in the we .t was !
hat great batch of sky-piercing ele j
~~ ^vStOTs." Few small towns in -the- fabled
West could- out do that scene, j
They have dryers too.
Those great concrete structures[
have a capacity of 1,200,000 bushels
of grain. At most' times, I was
told, they are full. They then had
700,000 bushels of grain, rice, soy
beans, and corn in them, despite
last summer's record drought that:
t practically ruined these crops over
much oi ihe area there: j \
Safe storage like this adds to I
* the stature of these cmps. It
? makes them legal tendeV^l'st like
? cotton.
'' At places there and elsewhere
r farmers are providing on the farm {
c storage for their grain. The con
f crete based metal bins are proving I
' satisfactory for this purpose. The !
government will, loan you a con
' siderable portion of the cost ofI
5 their construction, with 5 years to !
pay it hack. Profits on grain thus I
1 stored have at times paid for these
1 permanent structures in a year or ;
' two But here you have the pro
u blem of drying damp grain that j
! must be solved if it is to keep
safely.
1 To take advantage of the govern
' ment support price on grain,'"it
has to he stored in some such safe
place. Local ASC (farm program)

I Last /week I told you of us drivI

* the "working" molasses in on our
h way from Chapin
When we got home at dusk, w.c
? put the syrup jug under the kit~
r-hon tahle at ils accustomed place 1*
We had licked so much of the
1 foaming stuff from the sides of
1 that jug on the way home with it
1 in the wagon that wi didn't want
f a%y fcr supper.-"
A practically grown colored man
3~"we had talsed did want nnmc, hnw
5 ever. He hadn't been with us on
> otj!r jaunt -to Chapin __f<?r__it. So,
r after finishing the main part of
1 his meal, he decided to top it off
" little syrup, as was the us*
utfl rule with us.
,ne got tne jug out and tugged at
' that corn cob stopper we had dri
? ven in and hour or so before on
our way from Chapin to keep it
from foaming over and wasting.
J He had trouble with it and put his
krtee on the side of the jug to hold J
f it beter so he could really put all j
* he had on that stopper.
- Finally, out it came with a "pol
< opp." And a geyser of syrup shot ,
s up, hitting him square in the face, j
t That jug must have been about i
ready to pop.
e Well sir, it almost drowned him. i
> Syrup in his mouth, nostrils, hairs,
s ears, and all over the floor! It was j
t oyer in an instant. And when we
- got there from the adjoining room,!
c the amber, foaming syrup was gen :
r tly cascading down the sides of the
- jug into a puddle it had'madcthere <
on the kitchen floor.
That Boy was really wiping at
e that stuff so he could got his
^ breath and see his way out to the I
r horse trough where he could wash
^ j it off.

FAiHQ'S ROLE IN THE TOD/
The story of the Old Gold Pradue |
tion man of decision is the old Ho :
ratio Alger-American success story '
come true with an added final
twist. It began twenty-six years ago
when the slender Alabama-horn ,
Negro hired on as a plant*"laborer
at the Old Gold branch of P. I.or j
illard in Jersey City. It finds him
t 'day with the title, of Assistant
to the Production "Foreman at thcP
same plant a long title that simply
means this: he is answerable
for the performance of more than
a hundred employees and as_ many
machines in the most exact phase
of cigarette manufacture. He is al
so the only Negro in the nation to
hold such a position.
A tvnical diiv in this rr??rwinsil,h>
man's iife may run like this:
Early in the morning he arrives
at the plant ami distributes time
cards to a dozen or more employees.
If new workers ate in the
group,..he gives them a brief "pep
talk," introduces them around, familiarizes
them with the machinery,
and-helps them to get a good start
on their jobs. ??1?
Soon after he'll make the first
of his many daily tours of inspection,
to check the output and ue-'i
curacy of dozens of making, packing
and sealing machines. He'll
stop and observe the workers at
their tasks, note the machinery is
running in a smooth fashion. an~
stver a dozen phone calls from the
office upstairs. After lunch with
his boss and close friend, he'll stop
and talk- to -workers ul_ their lunch
break, then join in a production con
ference with the manager of the
plant. A little later the operators'
supervisor, ma.t urn^tfj him with
