hundred Negro farmers have
banded together in an agricul
tural cooperative in Holmes
County, Mississippi. They are
part of a movement to orga
nize Black farmers into viable
economic organizations.
Hie Mileston Co-operative
was originally formed in the
1940's by the Farmers Security
Administration. Through the
years the co-operative slowly
lost its vitality due to lack of
management and lack of assist
ance from Federal and State
agricultural services. Over the
past year the Mileston Co-ope
rative has been reorganized
mainly through the efforts of
Howard Bailey, a field organi
zer for the Southern Coopera
tive Development Program
(SCDP). To support the co
operative in areas of manage
ment and education SCDP will
provide technical and financial
assisstance.
On May Ist in Lexington,
Miss, a general assembly of co
operative members was held.
Officers were elected to the
Board of Directors. P. K. De
laney was elected President of
the co-operative. .Robert G.
Clark, the first Negro State
Representative, since recon
struction was also elected to
the board.

te Artist Atter Two Decades
Again the traditional truth,
that pure singing and artistic
perfection in an artist comes
only with time and vast ex
perience on the stages of the
world before countless audi
ences, was evident in Camilla
Williams performance last Sun
day afternnon before this gath
erring of world famous report
ers and critics who have heard
the best of them around the
globe wherever music was
played and sung.
One wonders why Miss Wil
liams, who "broke the color
barrier" in 1946 when she sang
the leading role in Madam
Butterfly with the New York
City Center Opera Company,
and continued with them sea
son after season, never made
the 'Met'. Certainly she was
heard in nearly all the great
opera houses in Europe, but
never the Met. Why?

today, still a top artist after
two decades of appearances in
major concert and opera houses
of the world.
Some claim that Miss Wil
liams was the victim of 'music
poliitics', that the Met and City
Center weren't speaking to each
other when Camilla came on
the scene, and that Ctiy Cen
er "pre-empted" the Met when
the first non-white opera sing
er was hired by the first major
opera company in America as
a 'regular". The Met was un
der heavy pressure at that time
to integrate its roster of sing
ers, and the City Center beat
them to the draw. After that,
the Met had to find a non-white
artist of its own to top the City
Center, and preferably a name
greater than Camilla Williams.
It did-, and the name was Ma
rian Anderson. But Miss An
derson would be the first to
say, that opera was not her
best media, and after one sea
son in one role, she quit.
