City news, locals Wednesday. Telephone 4623 Saturday, Sept. 9, 1939 MORRIS .COLLEGE The Baptists in particular, and the Negro race in general need Morris College as one of the educational agencies in Negro uplift and progress. Morris College has done, up to the present a fine piece of work in Sumter and South' Carolina. It is th result of Negro self-help and a fine demonstration of Negro man agement of his own institutions. One dollar annually from 50,000 Baptists sent to Morris College will care for tho hndget. and give the trustees some money for expansion. Let's take care of Morris College. It.is one of our worthy institytioms. > FARM ECONOMICS On the highway to Greenwood in Saluda County are many crops of white potatoes well under way ^ and promising as an October har*vest for the markets. These potatoes wiU be ready for market when the fluctuations in white potatoes, run low, arid nothing Tike consumption and scarcity of commodities help more to regul late market prices. The farmer who can harvest two crops of white potatoes yearly is in a class alone in farm economics; he knows how to diversify and supplement his money crops. A barrel of white potatoes in October is wen th more in October than in June when potatoes are plentiful and in easy reach. These farms observed in Saluda County are owned b y white people, but Negro planters snouid do likewise. We suggest that our planters and land owning Negroes arrange apple orchards for full fruitage and study how to grow other money crops in addition to cotton . and tobacca. Money from eggs, chickens, potatoes, melons, farm gardens and orchards will count much in reducing the farmers overhead and enable him to put under the shed a few bales of eotton for the spring market, when better prices are offered foi his cotton. And, don't forget Mr. Farmei you should continue to grow small giain and grow it more abundantly. \K)UTH MUST BE SERVED By l|ouglass Hall "This young generation is go-, ing to the doys, why when I was ; young ..."

Verily I say unto you, Inasjnugh as\ve did it- not to one of thti least of these. Ye did it not unto me". (Matt. 2f>) Youth' is driven fn/m the church today by inaction. The churcj: makes up its jinifi am and leave? youth out and youth in turn make? his program and'leaves the chim-li out. Youth's blood is hot, am his youth limbs not only desire action but oftm demands it. Youth must give vent to this energy within him-that eides-for an-o'utlet. Will the church find -some way to usc> this youthful energy 01 will it let youth continue t< wonder into .foi'bidib n paths tc find an outlet? Youth finds ohly enough room in the average churcl to put his name on a church l'ol and when he applies fo'r a "jyb" in the activities of the church the sig? "NOT WANTI-ID" is fiashec before his face. Some churches aic doing something for youth am when you compare them with the ' churches that ar,? doing nothing they get an "excellent" rating but when you c-ompaie what they are doing with what they shoulc be dying this "excellent" rating drcps to "poor". Youth must hi hrcnight in froiii the streets an. from the back seats of the church and put on activddutv in tin army of Jesus Christ. Youth ha* too much to sUuvjl>l< over to get to church. Often, yea too often, a mother or father. Hr admires them and adore everything that they do. They arc his he roes, his ideals; their teaching; are hisj^principles. They tell hin ab.ut the benefit derived from go ing to church hut they are "toe tired to go today", in fact he ha? been noticing that they are usu ally, "tuu t-i-rcd-" to go to. church He doesn't say anything yet hi.tender mind id being molded.
