NEGRO FARM DEMQNSTRA- j TION AGENTS Reprint Front The Shrevcport, La. , - Sun - Saturday, May 21, 1938. (Editorial. Comment) Among the public servants who are rendering constructive service to the colored citizens of the tri.state area, Negro farm demonstration agents rank high. Unattended by brass bands and public demonstrations of what they intend to do, these men are getting down with fhe "diit farmer" and prov??ing by concrete- examples the- va7 lue of improved and diversified farming. They are teaching how to build eroded land, as" well as how to lengthen the life of already fertlle Tandi"They"In o teaching ? tlie utlue, in cash dollars ofbuy^j hogs end chickens that tests und experience have found to produce the -largest returns for the ampunt of labor and money invested The home garden, under the direction and teaching of these dem onstration agents is proving a great asset to farmers in keeping down their expenses while cultivating and harvesting Jfre farm and at the same time, furnishing the variety of foot} so necessary tn sound bodies. The ?"year-round"! garden is becoming ^quite general! among farmers who, in the past underestimated the garden as..a profit making department of his _ ? former "one' crop" program. Another fundamental feature on the program of parish and county farm demonstration agents is ORCAVT7ATTAV TV,? T? stitute, New Farmery, of.

Flower garden, home and kitchen contests hav6? in many cases, almostrevh^ Iutlonized the appearance of homes of communities. Although many people try to igi. nore it, but the fact remains eygjL presentr: th~CTNegro's chances for1 survival today, as never before, lay along the line of agricultural and the manual arts. The profes-' aions will take care of only a { small fraction of the 14,000,000 colored citizens of America, and this field is now at the saturation jl point. The Negro is without capital! ftlfd should and must, choose those y , fields in which security in cpiploy1 ment may be found.
