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.
