MoorMan’s Phenothiazine Minerals
—A Double Duty Help!
Jast by putting MoorMan’s Phenothiazine Minerals out before
your sheep you get a COMPLETE mineral feed, plus all the
benefits of the new drug phenothiazine in helping you lick the
stomach and nodular worm problem. It is also effective against
the less common forms of worms, such as le*ser stomach
worms, bankrupt worms, hookworms and large mouth bowel
worms (but not tapeworms).
MoorMan’s Phenothiazine Minerals need not be fed the year
round in northern climates, and alternate monthly feeding dur-
ing the summer will give good results. In southern areas where
winters are mild it may be advisable to feed It ev»-y other
■uonth during the winter, but during June. July, August and
September it may be advisable to fes d it continuously, especial-
ly when sheep are on heavily contaminated pasture or range.
Except in seasons of severe worm infestation. it is probably
unnecessurv to give ewes any additional treatment. On the oth-
er hand, lambs—particularly late lambs which are not weaned
by the time worm infestation becomes serious—may not eat
enough of the mixture to control the worms and may. therefore,
require dosing with MoorMan’s Stomach Worm Sweep for
fl-
Only a small amount is needed—proper consumption is 1-2 to
2-4 lb per head per month \ko a tailor made mineral for all
kinds of livestock.

of them in the South.
“The South is poor, and yet at
no time anywhere on earth, has
any other large group of negroes
attained the vigor and civiliza-
tion now enjoyed by those who
now inhabit the Southern United
States,” says Mr. Price.
He points to Haiti and Liberia

by himself.
“No honest person wants to
minimize the greatness of such
men as Booker T. Washington,
Dr. Carver, the negro scientist, or
Paul Robeson, the negro artist”,
he asserts. “But a few exception-
ally-gifted negroes cannot change
the fact that the race as a whole
is a backward one. To say this to
negroes is no more insulting to
them than it is insulting to young
white people to tell them that
they are less mature than their
elders. Rome was not built in a
day, and neither can the negro
race evolve to its peak overnight.”
As to race discrimination, Mr.
Price says the South is honest
about it, while the North pretends
to offer an equality that does not
exist.
“There are no Jim Crow laws
or poll taxes (in the North), but
there are discriminations far
more relentless than any that ex-
ist in the South,” he says. “In the
path of the negro up North there
are mountains of frigid forbidden
reserve . . . The recent riots in
Philadelphia were not led by Geor-
gia ‘crackers” or Arkansas ‘hill-
billies’.”
“The Southern negro has his
faults, trials and tribulations,
both God-made and man-made,”
concludes Mr. Price, “but he has
special virtues, talents and bless-
ings that white people might well
envy . . . When undisturbed by
uplift, he attends to his own busi-
ness. He lives from day to day
and enjoys it. He refuses far-
reaching schemes in favor of pre-
sent tranquility. He is master of
ihe art of letting well enough a-
lone and refuses to work himself
up to the high tension of more
sophisticated men wfliich cracks
their nerves and gives their civi-
lization the jitters.

Price’s Southern Weekly article
“The South and its Adopted
Children”, with evident approval
of its opposition to Northern in-
terference and Federal coercion.
From his “Maybe So” Column in
The Fort Worth (Texas) Press.
Lloyd E. Price, Fort Worth
lawyer, is author of an interest-

pends on agriculture and in nor-
mal times the average income of
a farming family, white or black
is the princely sum of $180 per
year. This poverty of the South
is not natural but artificial.
“It is the direct result of econ-
omic discriminations enforced a-
gainst the South ever since the
Civil War by the Northern-con-
trolled Federal Government.”
Mr. Price challenges the
Northern “liberals” who harp on
the social discriminations against
the negro, but ignore the more
basic discriminations which have
hampered -he South’s economic
growth, such as the ancient
freight rate differentials.
“The Northerners have gra-
ciously given the negro three con-
stitutional amendments,” jibes
Mr. Price, “but unfortunately he
cannot eat the 13th amendment,
wear the 14th or live in the 15th.
What he needs is exactly what the
South needs: freedom from the an-
on
schoolers, and working
tees have been appointed to
making tentative plans.
As pointed out by Marcel Mc-
Clure, Midland High School stu-
dent who spoke at the district
PTA meet, youth canteens offer
the best means for recreation O»r
high school age students. That is
because they make their own
