Why Wg hate each other is not always based on facts supported by reason. Never-the-less, people continue to cultivate this particular _ instinct. There are three ways to handle an enemy, an author once saidr First, crush your enemy. But that will not settle the difference. When you crush an enemy you make your enemies' friends your enemy and thereby increase your list of enemies. Se<^ond?Ignore your enemy. That is not a good plan. If you ignore your enemy, he still remains your enemy. Third and best, make your enemy yout friend. When that is done one has removed man hindrances that will not again apear to hinder his progress.' EXTEND THE EXTENSION i nuuHAKl gram should be extended beyond The work of the extension prattle set-up in 18 counties as pub lished in .the press last?Sunday? " ThTs~fine program of work should enable Negro farmers to find e place for their farm products on the curb markets in Columbia, , Charleston and other nearby cities in a big way. This extends the extension with profit. We go a step farther. From these worthwhile farm projects yielding the very best agricultural products should come an ar ray of fine exhibits to the Negro \ State Fair annually. Apparently these Negro farm agents would be of much help in making the fair what it'Should be if they would teach the Negro planters to put into their plans a development of the best for display at the fair. This would be a very good way to advertise the work and inspire Negro planters in other sec tions to do more and become mor< prosperous. We congratulate the - farm ' agents and hope they can extend the extension as aferresaid. To show that the conferences re. ?fleet a muvenient to challenge our vital problems.

One hundred thir. ty-seven demonstrations were conducted in cprn on one to five acres with an average yield c^f 3$ bushels per acre, 47 demonstrations in wheat with an average yield of 22 bushels per acre._ Home mixed fertilizer for these demonstrations brought a saving to the farmers at an average of $3.50 per ton.

The Negro agents in Aiken, Clarendon,k Chester and Williams>urg counties have taught farmers the correct methods of cutting uid curing meat.

Four of the eight farmers have milk cows and all have a yearround garden. Every effort is made to make these farmers self-supporting on the live-at-home plnn. Similar results are to be found in the 18 counties with Negro agents. THE BOARD'S GOOD JUDGEMENT The executive board of trustees of Allen University met Monday, and after cool deliberation and sensible investigation of the $tudentsl?strike at-Allen, accepted the resignation-of the Rev. E. F. Cr. Dent, Acting President of the University since March 8. The board elected as Acting President Dea- Therman B. O'Dahiel to serve in addition to his duties as Dean of the College. To our way of thinking this is regular. The board used good judgement and it put a stop to a "nastjl" affair that had been going_ on. for 18 days. It saved the college's good name and also much in daily expenses. It costs more than $1,000 a week to operate Allen University. This expense went on while the students stajyed out of their classes and the employees and professors were without work notwithstanding" the overhead con. tinned to increase. The executive board, composed of Id men and one woman, realized the gravity of the situation. If the board had acted ten days ago it would have been better still. But, finally the board acted anci the work of the college is again going on -as per schedule. Schools and colleges are not conducted now as they were 30 years ago , Teachers and trustees realize now more than ever that students havej certain rights that must be re-j Apeeterl Thf .student*- at- Allen- re-1 sented the action supposed to have been performed by the Presiding i Elders1 Council. The students at Allen had great love for the lamented President McGill. They did the unusual, the unexpected? they stood by their conviction. The executive board finally realized that the students' contention] was not without merit?hence the action of the board--and it ,is fid nal. ~ " ; ' I The students made no fight on Dr. Dent. He is liked by all who know him. We are of the opinion] that the students would have ta-| ken similar action if appointment1 had been made of any one else at the time and In the manner in] which it was done. All sane thinking people regret to learn of the affair and we hope the like will not happen again in any of our colleges. NEW TRINITY RAIT nii ufw Rev. B. F. Stewart, Pastor ?Wellfuiil, S.

PARTIES?NOW One Sunday afternoon I took time out to watch a crowd of child ren. They were guests at a birth day party. There were children of all sizes, shades and dispositions, but nobody could charge that these children were different in the joy and merriment seen in their every move expression. My memory carried me back to the parties of my childhood days I saw again the happy children at their games. I saw large glasses of lemonade and great big old slices of home-made cake. I saw stick candy. There wasn't much of any other kind then. I contrasted the happiness I enjoyed in the old days of simple living with the times these present day children have.
