SCHOOLS
(Continued From Page 1)
Within minutes after the Gov
ernor finished speaking, the joint
session dissolved and the House
and Senate reassembled in their
respective chambers. At that time
eight bills designed to carry out
the Pearsall Plan were introduced
in each branch.
These provided for an election,
probably to be held September 8,
on the adoption of a single amend
ment which would make two
changes in the State Constitution.
One would authorize the payment
of tuition grants (estimated at
$135 per pupil) from State funds
for educating in private schools
children whose parents object to
sending them to a mixed school.
The other would authorize a local
community, by majority vote, to
close its schools if integration
threatens.
Others of the bills would re
write the statutes to implement
these changes if the constitutional
amendment is approved, would
amend the compulsory school at
tendance law so no child would be
required to attend a mixed school
and would authorize the allocation
of sums from the contingency and
emergency fund to pay the tuition
grants for the first few months of
the plan’s operation.
The eighth measure was a reso
lution “of condemnation and pro
test” against the Supreme Court's
liamslon, speeding, $5 and costs;
Phillip McNair, jr., colored of
Plymouth, careless and reckless
driving, $25 and costs;
Roger Leigh Sexton, Roper, im
proper passing, $5 and costs;
John Curtis Roberson, Roberson
ville, speeding, $5 and costs;
Robert Alan MacSwain, New
Bern, speeding, $5 and costs.
segregation rulings, described as
“an oppressive usurpation of pow
er” by the Court. This resolution,
while avoiding the real of nulli
fication and interposition, would
call on other states and Congress
“to bring to an end this tyranncial
usurpation of power by the United
Ctates Supreme Court and to pre
vent now and in the future other
and further encroachment upon the
reserved powers of the states and
the rights of the people, to the end
that constitutional government
shall ever be preserved.”
Immediately after the eighth of
ficial bill was introduced in the
House, Person County's Represen
tative Byrd Satterfield offered a
I measure calling for a Constitution
I al amendment which would author
ize:
The General Assembly to pro
vide for the education of children
by maintaining public schools or
by grants to pay expenses of chil
dren attending private schools, or
both.
Satterfield explained his propo
sal would give the Legislature
greater discretion in meeting ef
forts to integrate the schools.
“I cannot go along with the Pear
sall report in its present form. I
believe the constitutional amend
ment and the implementing bills
would hasten the integration of our
public schools and in my opinion
would perhaps destroy public edu
cation in North Carolina,” he said.
Satterfield said his proposed
amendment was prepared by Dr.
Beverly Lake, former Assistant At
torney General, who last week
made a similar warning. Satter
field would not say whether he
planned to introduce other legis
lation. That will depend, he said,
on what the Governor said.

Want Nigerian
Pen Pal, Huh?
Would you like to correspond
with someone from far off Nigeria
and perhaps exchange something
you possess for African products?
The Beacon this week received
a letter from Prince Adewale
Oyenuga, 5 Orogiri Street, Lagos,
Nigeria, stating that he desires
American pen pals. “I would like
to correspond with both sex of all
ages,” he writes, stating thpt he is
an African boy stationed at Lagos,
the capital and chief trading cen
ter of Nigeria.
For exchange the boy lists such
African products as ebony, carved I
knives, raffia bags, snake skins,
tiger skins, monkey skins, hand
bags. calabashes with cover, Afri
can dresses, daggers, bows and ar
rows, African drums, etc.
He would gladly accept in ex
change such American products as
dollars, sweaters (size 36), sport
shirts (some size), size 9 shoes,
jacket and camera.
QUOTAS
(Continued From Page 1)
assured themselves of a national
average price support of $2 a bus
hel on next year's production, the
same as this year. Under farm law,
the price support would have drop
ped to around $1.21 a bushel had
quotas been voted down.
Similar quotas are expected to
be proposed for next year’s crops
of cotton, rice, peanuts and major
types of tobacco as well as wheat.
Surpluses exist in all these crops.
The 1957 wheat program, like
that for the past three crops, is de
signed to limit plantings to 55 mil
lion acres in contrast to 80 million
planted in the immediate post-war
years. It also would restrict sales
to the quantity grown on allotted
farm acreage.

Demand Greater
Now for Feeders
-»
The outlook for profits from
well-managed, cow-calf herds looks
good, says Guy Cassell, extension
livestock marketing specialist at
State College.
Cassell explains that the com
bination of cheaper and more plen
tiful feed should result in more
demands for feeder animals. That
would put the farmer selling feed
ers in the best comparative posit
ion he has been in for several
years.
He adds that out-of state buyers
that have been supporting North
Carolina feeders sales are expected
to return and that others have in
dicated an interest in buying feed
er cattle here. Local interest in
cattle feeding is also expected to
boost the demand for feeder cattle
this fall. And with the cheaper
food, buyers may pay a little more
for feeder cattle and expect to
make a profit.
Cassell says that spread between
prices paid for steers and that paid
for heifers is not expected to be as
great this fall as last year. Local
feeders that bought heifers last fall
have in most cases enjoyed fairly
large margins between buying price
and selling price.

New Hog Raising
Areas In State
♦ -
The area cast of North Carolina
no longer has a monopoly on rais
ing good hogs, says J. K. Butler,
jr., extension animal husbandry
specialist at State College.
He says that there are a num
ber of good hog producers in other
sections who are making hogs a
very profitable enterprise on their
farms.
Harley Whiteside of Kings Moun
tain, Route 1, is one of these. But
ler says Whiteside is averaging bet
ter than nine pigs per litter wean
ed on eight to 10 sows.
Also, in Gaston County, Law
rence Hovis has five sows with 45
pigs between four and six weeks
of age. Butler comments, “Unless
something unfortunate happens,
Hovis will wean all of these pigs.”
Butler adds that Gaston County
has the distinction of being the
home of one of the leading Berk
shire breeders, from the standpoint
of sow productivity, in the world.
Webb Carpenter of Lineolnlon, lit.
4, has a smal lherd of registered
Berkshires which have won him
recognition on the number of pigs
weaned per sow.
Over in Stanly County, several
good swine operations can be found
one of which is Lowder Farms
where Herdsman Fielding Miller
is producing more than 2,000 mar
ket hogs per year. His pigs wean
ed per litter has averaged around
I eight for several years,
So it looks like the hog belt" is
spreading.
Drought Cycle Due To
Run For 10 More Years
Albert W. Cook, chief meteoro
logist, stationed at Denver, Colora
do, has predicted that the current
drought cycle gripping the Great
Plains area will not end until about
1966. Cook predicted the future
will bring gradually increasing
amounts of precipitation. He said
the drought cycle reached its low
ebb in 1954.
