BEE COLONIES SHOULD BE
"WATCHED TO ASSURE PLEN
TY OF FOOD i
CLEMSON, April 18?Bee keepers
of the state should watch
their colonies closely at this season
of the year to sec that they
have plenty of food. W. C. Johnson,
Clemson extension entomologist
and beekeeping specialist,
eays this is especially important
this spring because of the damage
to nectar-producing flowers by
the recent freezes.
He points out that many colonies
are lost each spring during J
the period just before the spring 1
honey flow. The losses are cspec- '
ially heavy if the weather is unfavorable
during the first few
days of the flow. Beekeepers
sould keep a close watch on their
-.^Colonies during the period. A col-""1
' ony should have at least 15 1
-potmdo--of honey at all times. '
This is the equivalent of 2 deep 1
frames, or 4 to 5 shallow or super
frames. ?1
"If necessary to feed the bees, I 1
dark off-flavored honey may bo'
used," Mr. Johnson states. "It|
ehould be diluted with one-third I
to one-fourth water. Sugar syrup? 1
may be fed by mixing two parts > '
sugar to one part water or dry | J
i augar may be poured over the I
frames at the back of the hives, i
Do not feed in open containers in <
the yard as this will encourage <
Tobbing. A simple feeder may be
made by taking an oyster pail or
- syrup can, anything with a fric- ;
iion top, and punching a few
small holes in the top. Use a shingle
nail and barely punch through 1
the lid. Invert this over the brood
..frames and use an empty hive
body to house this feeder.
"Diseases are most noticeable
in the spring, and beekeepers ~
should be on the alert for disease
symptoms as they look through
.their colonies," h e continues.
"They should look for off-colored
and sunken-capped brood, and also
for a moaty odor lika that of
decayed fish.

BUSINESS AT RAK'nnxn
~r . '
What may easly turn out to be
the most momentous meeting of
the century, if not in history, is
currently sitting in Bandung i n
Indonesia. It is a gettogether of
of the non-white ponplna n f th.i earth,
Asians and Africans, the
20th Century underdog peoples.
The worm is turning at Bandung!
Although the fact may bo
camouflaged, it is nevertheless
true, that the current conference
at Banrung. is protest in action.
Too long .have the darker peoples
sat supinely by and allowed them-,
selves to be moved as pawns upon
a chess-board, fooling themselves
into beliving that their highestrinterests
would be served by 'going
Colonialism, with its exploitat-)
ions and discriminations, has dig-illusioned
the darker peoples whO|
are being forced into some kindj
of confederacy for protection and
preservation. The white peoples
are already together on a general
policy of subjugation for the darker
peoples; it was inevitable that
Africans- and Asians would awake
td the solemn realization that the
"little" done by themselves was
more of a certainty than the
"much" others mav do.
This writer many years ago
made a careful study of world
population distribution, along color
lines. -It was found that India
cast her lot with the Nordies, tho
latter wouki have numerical preponderance;?while
if?India?cast
iter lot with the 'Non-Nordics,
they would have a populational
balance of power, so far as numbers
were concerned.
But the study further revealed
that propaganda had been carried
an to prove that the Indianswerc
Nordic, or of Aryan- strain, and
therefore t belong racially with
he caucasoid peoples. There is toiay
a strong feeling among the
Indians they are dark Nordics. It
can be proven by a litUe research
hat the notion was deliberately
planted among the Indians- to
bring a division among the darker
peoples. As long as India was
suffused with the notion that they
were dark Nordics, there could
mong the darker peoples. The political
classification of the Nordics
left the Chinese among the
nuii-i-*uruics anu peupies ui rNegroid
persusasion.
But fortunately for the cause
of race consciousness, these 'dark
Nordics' or- Indians were subjected
to the same discriminations and
and slights shown the nonwhite
world; and the Indians too, became
victims of discriminatory race prejudice.
This writer remembers vividly
some summers ago, while
:ruising down the Mediterranean,
how after dinner on the famous
Naldera liner, the Englis-h danced
in the ballroom, while the Indians
stood on the outside looking. InihnTs
whu had tried?to high-lrtt ^
the writer n the voyage had to
look on the great carryings on of
a gala occasion.
In a thousand ways, the Indian.}
have been victims of coloi
Jiscrminations, being told the
while they were of the Aryan
race.
India is. today awake and so
are the millions-of Asians and
\fricans. But nfost important of
all they are deciding something about
it. It will never he forgotten
,hat the atom-bomb was "tried
>ut" on the darker peoples while
Germany deserved it.
It must be observed that the
world's poorest peoples will be represented
ab^Ut the ta8le at Bandung.
Silver they have
little or none, out such as they
lave they bring; and that is, the
"Nosema, which is a disease of
adult bees, may be recognized by
bees crawling on blades of grass 7
in froht of thif hive, and also by

It is t-ber^torp no wonder.
that Gen. Calos P. Romulo, spec-,
ial and personal envoy of the president
of the Philppines to tho
United Staes, has warned American
to "Watch Bandung."
The worm is turning at Bandung!
Does this mean that the color
lines will b e drawn throughout
the world 'with tighter hand?
They have already been " tightly
drawn by the white people.
May it not be that the nonwhites
have belatedly decided to
do some drawing on their own
accounts? Etdfes this Bandung

Economic Workshops, Also
Admittedly a column's!, is on
dangerous grounds when he comments
on somo things on which he has
not done any research. Yet
this writer is doing just that in
this article.
' At this season of the year one
finds an abundance of information
in newspapers pertaining to commencements
and the programs, or
courses of study in summer, school
of our various colleges. This article
will be confined to ihe summer
programs trr courses of study.
Reading over the programs and
eoueesef study in a large number
of our summer schools, one sees
courses in this and courses in
that a mutiplicity of courses. And
of course, all of them have their
share of workshops in various
phases* of disciplines. However,
nomics, and in many cases not
any. And again, seemingly our
colleges are competing with each
other in the number of workshops
they can conduct and the fantastic
names they give them. But^
one looks in vain for a workshop
in economics or any phase of economics.
Now
please do nob misunderstand
this writer. He is certainly
not attempting to speak slightly of
the foregoing.. Neither has he any
desire to appoint himself judge in
matters pertaining to education
and what should be offered by. our
colleges, whether in their regular
school year, or summer school.
However, I am sticking my neck
ou^fat- enough to say that I fegl very
keenly that many o f our
schools should place more stress
on economic traning and thinking
than they are apparently doing
at the present time. And, especially
do I believe they should put
more emphasis, than at present
in economic workshops in our
summer schools.
It is appalling how little the averagc
person knows about economics.
It follows that it is most
astounding how little economic
thinking the average person attempts
to do.
Many people seem, to feel that
economics in an area of study reserved
for those who are in business,
or who plan to go into business.
The foregoing is, of course,
an erroneous conceptio/i ' of tho
problems of life. Certainly only
those who arc in buiness or plan
to go into business should specialize
in the various fields of advanced
economics. But the rank
and file of people also frpgrts try "
know a great deal of general economics.
From eighty-five per cent
of the national income is spent
for consumer goods. Those who
spend that large sum of money
by a large, house-wives, need a
great deal of economic informat1

WORK STOCK
I wonder if horses and mules
are on their way outTT"
It sure begins to look that way.
Figures worked up by our economtstV
H. Sutherland, show
the strong trend in that direction.
In 1920 there were 220,164 mules
in South Carolina. Last year
this had dropped to 105,000, a loss
of- 9 percent since the year before^
In 1920 we had 77,517 horses,
-fearst?.veat onl,y 10,000. This was
5 percent less than the year before.
The combined totals show 297,
618 horses and mules in 1920 and
only 123,000 in 1954.
During that time our population
has increased almost 50 percent.
Yet we have se^n lour work
stock shrink 58'percent.
From available facts, It looks
as^hough^this decline in numbersi
of work stock' will continue, and
maybe at accelerated pace. For
just not being raised. And those
we have are fast wearing out.
but gone. The last one I saw was
pulling a mail wagon in PhiladeL
phia last fall. And it sure looked
odd there- in?tho bustling traffic.
The great farming state of Iowa
was noti so long ago powered by
draft horses. Now, I understand,'
mey nave an average ol less than
one work animal per farm.
Change, change, the constancy
of changel
I'm old-timey enough to sort of
hate to see the critter go. In the
past it was our fort, our power.
We bred it, raised it, and fed it.
We were masters of it, and it served
our needs. It was a part of
our security out there on the land.
Now the machine takes its
place. And that has multiplied
our efforts much. It does not eat
the substance of our land. It is
sustained by dollars for fuel from
afar. But with it, man is riding
to new glories on the land.
But, anyway, I. sort-of hate to
see the critter go. And T wonder
how it might be with us if the
lightening* of atomic-war should
strike and fuel from afar is cut
off? A s ort of frightening
thought.
RICE, CROWING IT AND EATING
IT
As I've told you before, commercial
rice growing shows signs
of coming hack to our Low country.
In the past few years its acreage
has grown to a thousand or
so. And some of the yieMs^have
been so good as to indicate it can
7 tz~T '
ion and especially^ d o they need
to know a great deal of consumer
economics.
A large number of people do
not have the slightest idea of the
way a bank serves its community
and the nation. And, yet, almost
everybody in one way or another
has some type of dealings with a
bank. It is my considered opinion1
that the vast majorty of the people
do not understand the Social
Security Act of 1935, and amend"ed
several times ST7TCC them. ,
When a part ofthc employee's salary
is witheld, he does not know
whether it is for employment insurance,
of old age and survivors
insurance, or for federal taxes.
All he or she knows is "Social Secuity".
I feel that one could build
an entire workshop around the
problem of taxes. Formerly only
the well-to-do and the rich paid in
taxes. But thoso "wr>ori oi/i
have "gone with the win." Now
people with very moderate income
es pay income taxes, both state
and federal. The foregoing is just
a few of the many problems of
life involving economic thinging
of which the average person knows
but little.
I especially feel that we (Negroes)
should put forth more and
more efforts to acquire more and
more geneal economic infomation
Also I feel that we should cultivate
the habit of thinking in matters
pertaining to economics more
Than seemingly we do. In maters
pertaining to property ownership
and income we probably compare
less favorably with other people
than in another phase of American
life. Lets strive more and
more to make the foregoing cothparison
more favorable.

An experienced Texan has put-in
a mill at Walterboro, where
our local rice was milled the past
winter. And there they did the
first enriching of rice for home
use in this country. Some of th(^_
large mills have been enriching
it for export to-Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, where enrichment
is required by law. But this a 1
Walterboro is the first enriched
for retail sale in this country.
In connection with, rice, Clemson
has just recently published a
popular circular number 9E entitled
"Recipes and Enrichment ?

BOYS ARE TIIAT WAY? - ^
Earliest recollection in t h e \
Dutch Fork carries me back to "V
the Dutch Oven.
In the early days, all of our I
folks had'em. But when 4 came _i
along they were eroine out. It F
served our needs before stoves C
tame.
It was of rock, mud, and brick,!
looking like pictures of the ancient
beehive. As I remember t
them, thifey wer& about 5 f e e t ii
square, tuilt up ft-om the ground c
solid about 2 feet. A dome of J
brick topped it off, hollow mSide, a
with a small door at the front and n
hole for smoke to go out of tho v
buck ~
On bake day, which was about t
about 3 times a week, a roaring v
fire would be built in it with dry
hickory wood. That burned down
into a large bed of coals and ash- ;
es were taken out and put in the [
lye hopper, from which our lyo ?
for soap making was dripped. (
Pies, cakes, bread, and sweet /
potatoes were ready. They wero s
then slipped into'the hot oven c
and that heated bricks baked them
to a turn that old-times say has ?
never been equaled \
I recall as' a kid, eating that e
divir.t stuff that came- from Aunt ?
Vennie's Old Dutch Oven. And a- 5
long through the years it still c

of these old relics remained. A ?
