be made for cross pollination by
planting two or more varieties to

Cosford has hardy catkins and

are Barcelona, Medium Long and

Tlie pecan is adapted to what is

CITIZENS’ SIGN
NEW YORK—The National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People has vigorously pro
tested the public display of mem
bership in the White Citizens
Council by a Sears and Roebuck
store in Mississippi.
In a letter to Crowdus Baker,
Sears president, last week. Glos-
ter B. Current, director of branch
es, called attention to the fact
that the Scars outlet in Canton,
Miss., was among those merchants
in the city ‘.vho have displayed
Citizens’ Council stickers on win
dows and doors.
Current reminded the company
that Sears “enjoys considerable
patronage among Negro Americans
tluoughout the entire country."
The. NAACP called on Sears to
investigate the slatuation imme
dlately and “If the facts . . . are
found to be true that the signs
Immedtately be removed from
your your establishment in Canton,
