I > Clemson, June 20. With tl

9Rr! trymen should endeavor to r i
their poultry houses of externi
parasites. The two most commc
\ ". external parasites affecting poi

live in the cracks and, crevici
~of the building and go - on tl
ratwr'- hirds at night to feed.
y'/ P. H. Gooding, leader, Clemst

opinion that lice do not do ai
great harm since they live <
scales of the skin and feathe

this idea is not correct as pro

showed that lice lower eggs pr

INTEGRATION: CURSE OR j

' Under a regime of segregation >

- Even a casual study nf the history |
of segregation in this country will J
i reveal that the Negro has neither

I offer nor has -he given his best
and this is doubly true of the !
' white man. -When we consider
what has been done to bolster
L regime of segregation by t h e
' white man we must be convinced I
*? '
that so much of the white man's 1
energies .have gone into Uie sordid
! business pf segregation tnat h Us
' higher posibilities have been slighted
greatly.
Not least among his losses was
' .he loss of not being brought into
I he! *' ' contact with the^unfortwi-1
1 ate 2 -voes at his doors. The.
blessing cf helpful the helpless
has heen d-nied him. Then the
blessing that would have gone with
an unsegregated Negro race has
also been denied him. These denied
-blessings have caused, do
now cause, a social sickness that "
only integration promises to cure.
But just as our Southern friends'
J often urge waiting as a policy in1
race relations, forgetting that
changes do not come of themselves,
but must be brought about by
men, so integration will fall short
of curing what ails us socially and
8 economically, unless it is wisely
8 appropriated. When viewed con~
structlvely, it posits a cure?for
r many of our social ills; but viewr
ed selfishly it may easily become
a curse. '
Here and there about the coun-1
try we find white ministers advo*
eating the opening of church mem '
|bership to Negroes; this is as 1 t
should be but unless Negroes ?pen
their doors to~whites it means"

r "' I %.:. ' &* '.-"+tr-* :
By C. A. Chick Christian
Churches and the
Courts
History points out that all religion
always have been conservative
and averse to charge. And,
even today we find that established
churches and organized religion
are among our most conservative
institutions. It is not
the purpose of this article to|
ligions over the coals.1' It must,
be admitted that the conservatism
of the church in many, instances
throughout the ages of
civilization has been the saving
grace of civilization. Durng such
times of decadance civilizations
and or of revolutions, by a n n
large,?it has?been the?church ~
that came forward and conserved
the best there was o f civili*
zation at the time. Moreover, it
should be pointed out that the
foregoing has not always been
an easy task for the church. For
Vi 11 v/? V\ tn A ? ?
"VAiW VA4W.&V11 UU LI1C lUICgUl[lg,l
many individuals sacrificed their_
lives. ~ ' * ?
However, ] with due respect to
the foregoing, it is tljis -writers
considered opinion that all too
often the Church has been too
conservative--lages too far behind
secular or civic institutions,
in matters pertaininjr~to moral
righteousness and justice Xqt sdk
mankind.- As my readers well!
know there are mutiplicity of re-l
ligions. However, this article has
reference only to the Christian I
religion and the Christian church'
j with its many auxiliaries organizations.
Organized Christianity has
been been, amd is today, tremend
ously interested in the souls ofl
the so-called backward races. It
has speent, and is spending today,
large sums of money in con|
nections with its efforts to con-|
vert the so-called backward races1
to the Christian religion. However,
organized Christianity has;
said all too little about imperial-ism
and colonization and economic
expliotation of the weaker
xaceft 1) V thp mocfor T*Q T M
I our own country, it is real pitiful
and discouraging to see organized
Christianity trailing the
courts, and far behind at that. It
is disturbing to say the least tct
read iti the newspapers that in
many christian bodies, conferenI
ces, associations, etc. when the
Supreme Court's decision pertain
i ing to racial segregation in pubI
lie schools^ isnbrought up, it almost
disrupts the entire meeting.
And, whereas some christian gatherings?have
bgen able to?ptror
strong at anti-Tacial segregations,
, resolutions, others have made
j such weak platitudes as follow
"Do the Christian thing in the
I matter." '"Treat all people liko
humans." "Obey the law." And,
one christian body decided to
"Study the question until 1901).'
I Some religious bodies have not
had the courage to even mention
the? Court's decision in their)
meetings.
We 'pieach and teach that with
lithe exception of the Christian
homes the Christian church is
the highest, most ideal, and the
best organization that human
beings have been able to bring
forth. Let us hope the foregoing
is true. I, for one, believe it is.
However, it must be admitted,
tha4?in more than one instance,
the Christian church fails to live
.up to us mgn ideals. And, itj
should be pointed out to the.
Church when H faHs to live up
tion is equally 7true of the rate's
business and professional ties,!
and of the Negro press. In spite i
of the finer possibilities suggested
by integration, the Negro cannot
yet stand alone without that .help
that is based upon intra-raeial loyalty.
Integration thaf separates

IRRIGATION ELSEWHEn u
Irrigation is rapidly bu >ming
b live subject all over thl rainfall
belt. I tell you much \ ! i t
here in South Carolina. ! Let*s
look at Alabama a bit, as ; eport
ed in "The Farrow."
For the past three years Leon
Lindsay of Limestone countj^ hasi
averaged two bales per acre! an
Ii60 acres of irrigated cotton.
We are told this i# twice the local
yield on identical unirrigate^
cotton. He said, "The first ye^f
I irrigated cotton, I made twf>
bales per acre on the part that
got the extra water, while thi
unirrigated field made only- i
third of a tsale per acre. No' r
I'm trying to irrigate all mp
crops. I have found it very pr< fitabje
for the past three years, '
Horace Hall of Houston Coui ty
made almost 100 bushels <f
icorn per acre on 80 acres irrigated.
he staggered his planting o
it wouldn't all need water at tl e
same time. By moving^~tfie~~Un( s
Jhree times a day he could pi t
two inches of water on the f 0
acres in 5 1-2 days. ' ?
Irrigation helps other goc d
practices pay off. In a 3-yej r
experiment at Auburn, progress ively-better
yields of- cantaloups h
r* n m o wifVi onnVi innnl
CM4I1V TV A VII VMV.il MUUIV/lVHOl JJIttUtice.
A half ton of complete fertilizer
gave a yield of 280 standard
. 70-pound crates of marketable
cantaloupes. Where 10 tons
of stable manure was added t o
this, the yield was 4 5 0 crates.
And where irrigation was added
to the fertilizer and manure, the
yield jumped to 606 crates of
fine melons. In a similar experi:
ment, pimento peppers were uppI
ed from two tons to 12 tons per
' acre. And these increased?yields
(of most crops are of a better
1 quality too.
Director P. O. Davis of the
Alabama Extension Service says,
"The few farmers who irrigated
cotton reaped big returns."
JULY, MELON TIME

Charleston Gray watermelons

BOYS ARE THAT WAY I
There was a batch of standard'
equipment we boys of the Stone
Hills used to carry in our pockets.
It viried some. But not
much. :
j A horseshoe nail withpoint imbedded
in a small eroded piece
of corn cob was always among
my valuables there. It was, and
fetill is about the best nutpick I
have ever used. Specially for
ones hard, to get the meat out
of like hickory nuts. A modern,
nutpick can't get into those narrow
caverns.
The other day a reader from
Alabama mailed me two shiny
jiew horseshoe nails and wondered
if I knew what country boys
used 'em for. They were the
first I had seen in a long time.
Another use we had of 'em
was to make darts out of. We'd
(insert the quill end of a wing
or tail feather of a chicken in
a wood spool that thread came
on. Then we'd wedge it in with
a horseshoe nail, driving the
head clear ' into the hole in the
$pool to fasten it and the feath

j Although our harvest o f wild

in the fall, we had use for that
