BUSES, TRACTORTRAINS AND BOATS I Early Summer Notes About Livestock Proper attention to livestock in Juno la particularly Important, says County Agent W. C. McCaiiey, giving brief suggestions to guide farmers. Animal Husbandry ? Start hogs to grazing soybeans when beans are about twelve inches high. Hulld a creep and feed beef calves some grain. Treat sheep for stomach worms every two weeks If heavily infested Market the spring lambs when they weigh seventy to eighty pounds per head. Provide shade and fresh water for all i lasses of livestock. Mow the permanent pastures to destroy weeds. Observe the livestock for screw-worm Infestation and give treatment If needed. Dairying?Control files by keeping all manure spread on the fields. Cool milk and cream immediately after milking to control bacteria and undesirable odors and flavors. Mow the posture often enough to keep down | obnoxious weeds. Sow Sudan grass I or puarl millet on a rich plot close to the barn to graze or to cut and reed green when pastures are dry and short Keep an ahundane supply of fresh water before the cows. Poultry?Keep pullets on clean range during summer months. Do not push pullets into egg production; feed a low-protein ration made up mostly of grain Watch the birds for lice Infestation and examine the sleeping quarters occasionally for mites. If r 1-otiDleM each fall with chicken pox or sorehead, vaccinate the pullets when three to four months ot age to prevent an outbreak. let grain ripen well before using combine a word of caution to all farmers who are planning u? combines for harvesting their small grain crops i? gj\.m bv County Agent \\ C Met arl,.y, Who points out the importance of letting the grain thorough!) ripen before starting the combine. ""During the past few years thee, has been some criticism of the combine method in certain sections on tic-1 count of the grain spoiling after barvest" savs the agent. ' 1 his difficulty however, was probably due in most ra?cs to harvesting the grain before it was dead ripe. In harvesting most cereal grain the combine should not b<- started until ten days to two weeks after it is customary to begin harvesting with a bind.-r if the thresh-M content is usually too high for sale storage. One mill operator In South Carolina recently stated that some of Me combined wheat i eceived at his mill ].tm war "as far better than the ge'lrun of regular-threshed wheat, whn h -how s that the combine meth, ,',,1 of harvesting is entirely satisfaeprovided the grain is thoroughly rip?* : ? f.u e harvest lag. Mr McCarley advises that if there an> lout.i as to the safekeeping .juai'.ti'-s of '.he gr.cin after being harwm.,1 With a combine it should be lVy, m| out on the floor of some shed oth. r building and stirred trecpienty -. vera! days. Ah'dh'r method that h?- suggests is to sAc k the grain in -.n ks that are not more than twothuds full, stack the sacks in rows so that air can circulate freely on at l,.a-i two sides, and move the sacks once or twice a day to insure better vent ilatioi;.

NEGRO EDUCATOR TURNS FARMER IN DEFENSE OF RACE Atlanta, (Sa., .June 3.?Dr. Win f red 11 Nathan, 3!Fye?r-old negro educator. i holds four academic degree*, earned by study In thin country and Europe. None of his study at the higher Institutions, however, wan In agriculture. Neither had this native of Jama lea, Hi lt lull Weal Indies, any practical experience In farming of uny kind. Yet eighteen months ago, ho quit his position as acting chairman of th?* department of education at the Allan , ta university and took up dairy farm ing from scratch to prove something he had taught In the classroom for eleven years-In his own word", that: "A negro does not have to go back to Africa to be self-sufficient economically. He does not huve to go to the north, east or west. He can do It right here In the South?where freedom from slavery left him to find his fortune." Nathan has proved this contention, he says, to his satisfaction. To con| vince others who may have doubts, he offers the following statements: From an Investment of approximately $33,000?roughly $25,000 In cash and the rest In mortgage loans or other credit?-he has In a year aud a half been able to develop a modern 100-acre, 90-cow dairy valued at $60,000. At the same time, he has met all his obligations and earned a satisfactory salary. He is furnishing profitable employment to seventeen workmen, good living quarters and good living conditions to five families. As creditable as this achievement may be, Doctor Nathan regards It only aH a demonstration of what can be done. It must be repeated with variations a thousand times over, he asserts. if the negro's contribution to American civilization Is to survive. "There was a time," he says, "when we were bequeathed large sums by generous persons and philanthropic agencies to foster the social and Intellectual development of the negro. Hut these donations will become less and less until they are no more. Many negro institutions are then likely to find themselves with a tremendous overhead but with no funds to carry on. If we are not to lose the services which these institutions can give our i young people we must create wealth | in order to support them." This further general observation: "It is quite possible for us to become a productive race, because we j have the strength and ability to work. What is needed is an exodus of trainI ed youth from our economic and industrial Institutions that will take the j initiative creating small economic I units that will provide work for skill' *'?I and unskilled people." With that. Doctor Nathan outlined tiie following suggestions, drawn, lie said, from his years of study and his recent practical experience. "With tin' proper training, the negro is able to do anything that anybody else can. j Proper training' does not mean he ' must go to Cornell university, for in| stance, to get Ph.D. In agriculture. It means learning by doing?in other words free exercise of ills intelligence and common sense in a life situation. Therefore, there should be many more business enterprises for negroes than there are. "Racial lines should be forgotten in these Industries. The negro should learn to compete In Industry and business. If he,makes better brick than anyone else, he will find a market for ills brick. White men will buy his product but. mind you. only if it offers a competitive value. 1 know because 1 am selling twenty gallons of milk a day to white users. "The semi-illiterate negro is. anxious for leadership and is ready to give his full cooperation to efforts for ins advancement Therefore it behooves our Institutions and those who have benefited by the training they give to provide the leadership. l-speriaiiy do we need advancement in hir h technical fields as baking, weaving, tlie rai.-ing. slaughtering and mar, keting of live stock, in industrial fattiling and food manufacture. "And. finally, these industries i an be finan< ed Some negroes have ngiderable money, others less. Tic y jcatr jh)o1 their resources and get bai k' ing from government agencies or i >cal banks. There must be strict j t.-ntlon to developing Integrity and I honesty. Members of our race wt'.l j attract capital and backing in proposition as they establish confidence iti . the investing as well as the having j public. i "For example, I can go to any lo? al bank and borrow $l,0oo to buy catte-. | The reason is that they know I mean business, that I am attendnlg to my j business and I mean to repay the I loan." | Nathan did not know anything about dairying when ho took it up. i Since then he has learned many I things?that it requires system, close supervision, attention, a knowledge of | animal husbandry, feed crop product1 ion and land improvement. Other | negroes, he emphasized, must learn I lessons similarly in this or any other1 field if they are to succeed. His plant is located within five miles! of Atlanta. It has a $3,.">i)t) deep well! water system, sterilization apparatus,! a $3,00o refrigeration system, filter' room, laboratory for hutterfat test and' bacteria counts and other modern! aids. Vp to date equipment, he finds, [ is a requisite in any business nowa-j days. Doctor Nathan provides a garden tract for winter and summer vegetables for each of the families ho em ploys. He furnishes mule power toj till the garden. Kach family has aj cow of its own and some also have, hogs and goats. Schooling is encour-j aged?almost made compulsory?not, only for children but also for adults; unable to read and write. The educator says that although he. has found success and profit in dairying and regards it as an activity that could t>e copied by members of hia race in many communities, there are other fields of equal or perhaps greater promise. "For Instance," he says, "I already have had plans drawn for a sausage factory. Then there should be large profits in a milk candy business. "Other sections have made such enterprises pay rich proftfa. They have less God-given sunshine and other advantages than we. So why shouldn't we do as well or better?"

The 1-1-1 Mixture For Saving Cotton "The Kershaw county farmer who^ would protect his investment Htul lahor In this year's cotton crop needs] to apply without delay tl^T-11 pois-j on," says County Agent W. C. McChiley. "This mixture will do much to reduce the toll which, according to all indications, the boll weevil may he expected to take this year." The ill mixture, the county agent explains, consists of one gallon of molasses, one gallon of water, and one pound of calcium arsenate and is applied with a hand mop or with a machine Three to live applications of the ill mixture may ue applied; but three is the maximum number which can he conveniently applied on most South Carolina farms. The first application is made Just before the earliest squares are large enough for weevils to puncture, the other applications at intervals of five to seven days. It is best to make a paste of the calcium arsenate with a little water, add the full amount of water to the paste, and then stir in thy syrup. It iu essential to keep thu mixture thoroughly stirred at all times to prevent settling. It is essential hIbo that only* the amount sufficient for one day s application be mixed, as ut times damage to cotton foliage ha? been reported from the use of material more than one day old. CARNIVAL8 AND LICENSE The Observer is certainly in agreement with The Shelby Daily Star in its praise of the Mecklenburg county commissioners for the latter's action in adopting a policy by which carnivals will no longer be given license to operute because they may happen to have a local charitable sponsorship. As The Star observes for several years it had been the policy for nonprofit organizations to sponsor carnivals in Charlotte with the understanding that the organization get a cut In the profits. In order to save money and insure that there would be more profits to distribute, the county commissioners made it a practice to forego collection of the usual $200 license fee. "We have seen here in Shelby, time and time again, carnivals and amusement companies, come in under the sponsorship of some local organization," says The Star. "Members of that organization would be asked to appear before the city or county officials and urge that the license fee be waived. Under the pressure of a local group, the officials have consented to it. thereby losing the license revenue. It is true that the local organization would share in the profits, but this was only an indiiHiCt way of tht; public helping that organization.. In losing the license fee the organization would get a cut in the profits, if any. Many times, however, we have seen the amusement company's operating costs absorb all of the receipts, so the city would not only lose the license fee but the sponsoring organization would receive nothing. "These amusement companies are purely commercial and should pay their own way. If a license fee is imposed by law, they should pay such fees into the public treasury and not seek immunity under the skirts of a local organization." We feel sure the policy adopted by the Mecklenburg commissioners will not only commend itself to the good judgment of similar bodies in other counties of the state, but will stand up everywhere in just and fair-thinking public sentiment.?Charlotte Observer.
