The purposes of Brotherhood

Conference, are to give
people an opiportunity to re-dei

Brotherhood Week is essentially

-I ANOTHER IMPORTANT BKAT-_
TITUDE ;
% A I
The population of these United
States is growing hv the proverb j
j._al "leans and hounds " and what
is more, nothing is being done a- !
bout it, in spite of the much talk ,
" about it. ~
Today it is estimated that
there are 160,000,000 of us and.
we are increasing at the rate of
5,000,000 a year. This means thai j
I within eight years by there j
' will be no fewer than 200.000,00(1 i
souls in these United States', and
f this fact has some important im,
plications.
f As a serious student of econo:
"nriFS, -this writer?is-deepiy?eon,
cerned with the problems of the
r econommic life, as they will ef-'
feet the Negroes as a minority;
s group. There is one thing of
s which we may be dead, sure, ami ]
that is, economic competition will
be Siharp enough to cut to the
r quiOk, in a way it is not cutting r
now. The competition of tomor*
7 row .will be ruthless and?burial, and
woq unto rum who postpones
too long the day of intelligent
1 preparation for a competition that
| [will have elimihative conse'qtien'
J Ires. r~~
i In facing the issues involved,
" I t?he writer evolved some years a*
go certain formulae for the meet- .
ing of these bristling issues.
Whereas everybody was talking
;iIwuif ifr hut, in the classroom wo
attempted to apply the economic
9 principles studied to the fact o i
r the economic life o f Negrots,
r both as a special group and as a
part of a great whole. i
9 It was not long before we Were
r preachng t.he gospel of the Dou9
ble-Duty Dollar as a means of o1
conomic survival; and later we
added the doctrine of Job-consciousness
wherein Negroes were
implored ^ stop laying off Mon.
days after thrilling Saturdays
r and Sunday nights experience.
And still later we added the doc1
trine of Vote-Consciousness, This
trilogy was developed in the class
'room at Virginia Union through
f 30 years.
f Dr. Luther Jackson, late Pro
fessor of History in Virginia
1 State College, took up the doc-j
: : trine or vote-consciousness and
.(made himself immortal; for he,
more than any other an, literally ''
, applied the vote consciousness con 1
; :ent to a concrete situation and 1
thereby quickened the political '
life of the Negroes of Virginia 1
and the nation. The doctrine of ]
i the Double-I>uty Dollar has been' {
c popularized 'in a very definate '
: way, and is making headway a- '
, mong those who spurned at 25 *
c years ago. The application of tne
> principle and practice of the Dou- !
ble-Duty Dollar it too., prevalent 1
, to be longer gainsaid. It is a '
bristling and stubborn fact. ^
But it is out of Fayettevrihr-1
Teachers College, Fayetteville, X. c
~ ., thai another constructive Voice
. is being heard by a teacher who 1
' is trying to correlate what.he is c
teaching with his surrounding sit- 0

NEGRO HISTORY WEEK
Again we are around to the *
annual celebration of Negro History
Week and, of course as we
celebrate it too much credit and '
honor cannot be given to the ^
founder of such a grand and ^
ivorthy movement, namely, Dr.
Carter G. Woodson. Moreover,
et us .hope and pray that now
3r. Woodson has deceased w e
ihall not let Negro History ,
v\ eeK lag and eventually^ die a s
apparently we have ohr once
famous Emancipation Day Cele- *
jration. I have been reliably inormed
that Dr. Woodson gave ^
i large nart of his life endeav j
>ring to get us (Negroes) fo
itudy the history of our own
ace as well as The history 0 f ~
tther races. He could have lived ^
>n the flowery bed of ease. At y
he least he could hata been the j
lead of the Department of Hisory
in "sonTe of opf large institJ ^
itions of higher education, i j
mi informed that t.'ie salary for
uch as the foregoing is sufficint
to maintain a family i ? a
air degree of comfort. Hut, 1
lave been told that he lived in
elative poverty for the cause of |
he Association for the 4 Studay f
f Negro History and Life. ?
I have said again and again f
hat a race that does hot/ know ^

?vc.i.ihl iiuvi- a origin ^
mpe for its future. Then, with f
10 hope for the future, t.hat raeq
vill put forth no strenuous ef- 0
orts for the future. A race that h
ins no or but little knowledge h
f its past will have no confi- 0
enee in or respect for itself. A1 rx
o I have pointed out again and p
gain that it is my considered
pinion that one of our (No- j|

Ajnd, what is most

such expressionst^u'e not only

rill influence the perpetuation

Many of us seem to think that

We seem to know but

EESPEDEZA SEEDING TIME
Four dry Summers in success
ion nave hurt the lespedeza crops' "
a lot. And last,year the extreme'
drought jiu?t ahout' ruined it for
hay, seed, and grazing. ,
But we have faith that all summers
aren't going to be dry. And
when we get even a little rain along,
this great crop is needed on
practically every farm..
Now is the?time to seed it v 11
the grain. A good time to do it is
.when you tondress the grain, and
I then run a snike-tootn harrow i
lightly over it. That sort of ties
both the 1*eed and the j'-irtUizer to
the ground and kills a lot 01 tiny I
weeds.
(j * .
IRRIGATED , CORN
County Agent Wood of Pickens
tells me Henry Bolding irrigated ?
8 acres of corn last summer and
averaged 147.34 bushels per acre. {
He had plenty of water from a
creek that runs through his land. , j
Water's the limiting factor. Find
out first if you have it, then you
can proceed.- Many who thougnt J
they had it found out it wasn't ^
half enough last summer. For it ^
voollxr ial-no ' ! x
, ?awci vv irrigate.' ^ ^
Ponds of all sorts' are being built1 ^
over the state to store some for [ .
lion whon Hrniipht ctriU-cg Xtr>rHjrC j " ^
basins are being dug and wells ^
put down in the Loweountry.
Folks are really searching for
water This was stimulated by p
seeing results where irrigation
, . . ma
was used the past few years. .
IS IT GOODBYE , SYRUP ?c
The Upcountry used to have
its sorghum and the Loweountry '
its sugarcane. p
The cooking of syrup from
these was a fall chore familiar "to "Kl?
con
many a farm. '
. "TliT
But, jn this changing world,
this has changed too.
I like sorghum syrup and^Jtgjit-?^7"
an eye out for it lastTTaTT Saw ^ ^
the remains at an old mill in the ^
Upcountry where a little had
been made. Stopped to ..Inquire.
But it had all been sold.
I rode a lot in the Loweountry * 1
trv
too in v fall. I>jdn t see sugarcane *
molasses being made at a single t ^
spot. Even 10 years ago, I'd have 1a
. . . I mei
seen a lot of it. I
Farms are specializing more, (
and stretching the labor out. . ^
Folks tell me it doesn't pay to j
make svruh "anv more. It's n lot
-. the
of trouble, and they say they I .
can buy what they need cheaper. I ,, .
And that's the trend , of the times. I ^
But here is another angle. We J ^
are growing a lot of stuff we'
can't eat up, and the government1 f?'
is having to buy a lot of it. In a 1 & ^
world of atomic bombs, it might! '
pay us to get too commercial, too !
far from the old idea of living-at gra
home. For we might have to do : uall
that some day. ity.
SOY BEAN SEED
The farmers of Edgefield have 3
built up quite a little business in
growing Ottotan sov beans tor j jn~
seed. But County Agent Llcyl a j,
teHs me the crop-was very short' ,,u^
last ye&r. Many of them couldn't | f(U.

Likewise, County Agent Cain f(.e(

beans grown for ?crushing and glo,

J.ure to use for seed. . ),a(|,
