Indians' Education Problem, Too By DR. K. IX W ELLON S Pres., Pembroke State College When, in 1885, the State of North Carolina, by act of its legislative assembly, set up a separate system of education for its Indian citizens. It is safe to iay that r>o one stopped to think of the end to which such a separation would lead. This system now consists of some 3j elementary schools, six high schools, and one four-'year o?undLud liberal arts college, with no provision for post graduate studies. Very few people in North Car olina know what has happened in this third educational sys tem, and only the Indians know the limitations that have thus unwittingly been put upon them, but when a graduate of Pem broke State college takes his bachelor of Arts diploma to the University of North Carolina and presents It as a credential lor admission, he knows that he has already reached the end of his education when he is told by the University registrar: "You aie now academically elig ible for admission to the Gradu ate School of the University, but racially you are not eligible." If this same graduate of Pem broke State college seeks admis sion to the graduate school of some other university, he soon learns that the other univer sities prefer to follow the prac tice of the University of North Carolina In the matter of ad missions. Thus the separate system which was created in an effort to serve the Indians leads, so far as graduate education Is concerned, to a dead end. How To Handle Rats ? Don't Let 'Em Get In "Don't let him in" is the motto of J. A. Floyd, Robeson county farmer, in his year round fight against rats and mice. ' Mr. Floyd recently explained his method of rat-control in a letter to James T. Conner, Jr., in charge of extension entomol ogy. Ever since he was a boy he knew how he was going to fight these destructive pests, Mr. Floyd said, but it was only a few years ago before he could put his ideas into practice. Since that time he has not lost an ear of corn nor a pint of ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as adminis trator of Clara Roper, deceased, late of Macon County, N.

Dearstyne, extension p^ultij specialist at State college. The success of North Carolina poultrymen this year Wtu de pend to a large extent upon how carefully they carry out these practices, Piofessor Dearstyne said. _ Overcrowding baby chicks is a sure way to check their growth and reduce vitality, tnt poultry leader said. Reduced vitality in turn causes tne out oats and has never had but one mouse In hts home in more than IS years. The secret, he says, li> ratproof buildings. "Our cellar Is ratproof and mouseproof," he stated, "and, also, our garage, corn crib, hay loft, tobacco barn and stables.' Poisoning rats is a good way to get rid of many of them, said the farmer, but if you "don't let him in," you don't have to worry about putting out poison. They must eat to live; therefore, If their food supply la cut off, they will either leave your farm or starve to death, he tald. ? break of varlou* dlMaM*. Each chick should have one-half square foot of floor space when started In the brooder house, and this space should be in creased as the chicks develop in size. Excessive brooder house tem perature gives the same results as overcrowding. Normally, dur ing the first few days, the tem perature should be 95 degrees at abaut two Inches above the floor at the edge of the brood er. This temperature can be reduced five degrees each week until the chicks are feathered out, depending on the outside temperatures, he said. All brooder houses should be built to provide constant cir culation of air without direct drafts on the chicks. Failure to properly use ventilation facili ties reacts against the health and growth of the chicks. Litter is placed in the house to insulate and absorb moisture. Droppings from the birds and condensation of moisture in the house usually work the absorp tive capacity of the litter to a high extent. Goad ventilation absorbs a high per cent of the moisture in the litter and thus aids in keeping it dry and lengthening Its use. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How can X t.cat pruning wounds In my orchard? A. Pruning wounds will heal moet rapidly when made close. Avoid leaving stubs which will eventually rot, especially if large. It is not necessary to cover wound* of two Inches or leu with protective material. When larger wounds are made It Is ad visable to cover them with a preparation of pure white lead and linseed oil Grafting wax. Tree Tangle Foot, or a Bordeaux mixture linseed oil preparation may be used. Grafting wax which can be applied with a brush is made as follows: Resin 5 pounds; bees- ( wax, 1 pound; raw linseed oil, about one teacupfull. Melt res-'. In, add to melted beeswax and then the linseed oil, mixing thoroughly. The operator should carry along some kind of a [ heating device in order to keep the wax in a melted condition when applying with a brush. A grafting lantern is often used as a convenient heating device. Bordeaux mixture linseed oil preparation is made by adding linseed oil to powered Bordeaux in proportion that will give a mixture similar to white-lead paint. Q.

BIG JOB for Earnings . . . meeting your BIG and GROWING NEED for Oil! The better you live, the more oil you v need. Today ? 3 million more cars are on the road ' than pre-war. 1,500,000 more homes have oil heat. Five times as many diesel locomotives now. Twice as many farm tractors and trucks. More oil spells more progress. Bui? this rising need for oil can be met only by modernizing and expanding on a big scale ? and in a hurry in spite of to day's high costs. I To do this job, Standard Oil Company ( New Jersey) and its affiliates are spending one billion dollars in 1947 and 1948 alone ? for new wells, plants, tankers, pipelines, storage tanks, and all the other things it takes to get you the oil you need. That billion dollars is money that goes back into the business from earnings, past and current In 1947, for instance, we put 426 million dollars into replacements and expansion. To do this, we: (1) used all funds set aside to replace worn-out equipment ; 2 ) ploughed back w%ell over half the year's profits ? all that was left after paying dividends; and ,(3) dipped heavily into savings put aside in years past to help meet just such ? needs as we face today. In the seven years 1940 through 1946, we spent well over one billion dollars for needed equipment, mostly for war needs. Now, in fust two years, we are spending another billion dollars. This money comes from the business itself. Money made on the job goes back into the job. Profits we reinvest for needed produc tion facilities work for everybody. They pay for the capital investment that we must make today to get the oil you need tomorrow. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (NEW JERSEY)
