Home garden ers should begin now t o prepar soils for their fall gardens. A. E Schilletter, Clemson extension as sociate horticulturist, points ou that if soils are prepared well i advance of planting rains wi! settle the soi? and- make it easie to get a stand. He suggests that in preparin; for fall gardens a liberal- amoun of. well-decomposed stable manur should be applied. The manur should be well decayed or it wi burn the plants. The manur when properly incorporated in th soil will hold moisture and thu help keep the soils from dryini out. Plenty of commercial ferti lizer should also be applied t Boils for the fall garden. In the July Extension Garde Letter, Mr. Schilletter advise planting such crops as turnip for greens and for turnips, beam rutabaga turnips, beets, carrot; sweet corn, squash, and Irish po tatoes. Collard, celery, cabbag; and tomato **plants should b transplanted. "Plants of the. above-named vei etables are always scarce for fal -* plantings," he states. "Therefor; do everything possible to sav the plants and help them_.gnn off rapidly after transplanting Puddling of roots, which is simp ly plunging the roots into a mi ture of soil and water befor transplanting, is very helpfu Shade the plants with newspaper pine tops, or old shingles unti the growth begins," he adds.1 Mr. Schilletter also suggest ' that a topdressing of nitrate o sodashould be made td growtrr crops and worked well into th ? soil.

I M f , ? areas* BOYS ARE THAT WAY We have spoken of the horseho nail and knife that was standar equipment in our pockets as kid . in the Stone Hills of the Dutcl Fork. There were many othe * things is those pockets too. Strings were scarce. We alwayi picked up any we found, speciall] , if they were bright colored. Somt I of the boys just stuffed them i i their pockets, irt assort of tangle* way, with their other things. Bu I always wound hiind around m j hand and tied them like a plow line. Then they didn't get tanglei and knot up. Boys have a lot o uses for strings. e I usually had an Indian arrow j head or two in my pockets. Yoi e could find one occasionally in i n cultivated field after a rain, an< n we always had an eye out for 'em g- Then, a fishook or two imbeddei e in a cork stopper was alway S1 there. And a slingshot and a fev extra pieces of pliable leather cu from the-tongue or side of an oh n shoe. They were used as the pieci e to hold the rock in the slingshot t you know. We always managed to fin? ^ some scraps or lead somewhere u And we usually had some of tha j in our pockets. We'd use it t i mark on " the barn and for sinker * on our fishing lines. A few assorted rocks of varie hues, that looked like bird egg; were treasured too and carried i our pockets. A couple whistle ie made from canes that grew on th >f creek were there, usually one o ipjid moj jo auo pus >u We dried the peelings from th g few oranges we had. A piece o i- that was carried and we chewe le j bits of it as long as it lasted. An g, sassafras "roots .too. Wire wa .1- scarce in our time, specially sma! v, pliable wire. When we found piece, it was wound and carried i ;d our pocket until a need for i jr came.?? - ? ? id Usually -a-. brass screw and 11. small bolt or two, and maybe or piece of bright glass of some sot was carried. The latter was high ly. prized, although without utilitj a sort~of lucky piece. er - ['] ACTIVITIES IN;AND AROl'N .. 1 MORRIS BROWN A. M. E. 0, CHURCH f" I Rev. J. C. Quarles.

NATIONS, N.Y.-ANP "Tropical Africa has in the past s few decades experienced the eff fects of economic changes," the e UN Department of Economic Af, fairs stated this week," which j .have profoundly altered its ecot nomic and social structure. \f "One of the main changes has . been the transformation of smallj scale subsistence economies into f exchange eco'nomies largely de. kets." j The statement was contained in t a comprehensive report entitled j ocop.e ana ^structure or money u Econimies in Tropical Afrida." , & liifi?II?N?firnnnmiats furter g pointed out that the problems of v African development as they rfow t appeared arose in conditions->-of j partial commercialization. e "Further economic development ( averred, "thus presesnts two aspects: on the one hand, it involj ves the shift of resources of land !# of labor from subsistence prot ducation to production exchange; 0 on the other hand, it implies the s more effective use of all economic resources. Together with the probd lems characteristic of the ex!( change economy itself." n Simply put what the UN econs omist have sought to do statistie cally in their report is to deterf mine the difference between ex^ change and subsistence activities e of .Africans in seven African f countries (the Belgain Congo, d Kenya, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, d Northern Rhodesia, Southern s Rhodesia,' and Uganda). II Such a study is oi great value a for the formulation of economic n policy which is definitely related t to political and social developments within each of the couna tries .covered in the survey. a It is contended in the report >t that the essential features of the i- money economics oi the seven Afft rican countries covered in the survey could be simply stated. i ne impetus to economic activity has its origin:, "it is claimed," (2) in investments from extra-ter ritorial sources; and (3) in tratfs fers of funds, other than invest^ ment, from extra-territorial source's. " . [" "Of course these three export l" demand is by far the most inihr portant. However, some of theine come derived from exports is paid out to foreign owners of factors of production, and in so c fas as it is not reinvested in the y territory it exerts no further efe fects on the economy." rt" The interrelationship oT econo^ mic and political factors, as stat^ ~ed above, 'caTvTiest illustrated by d ehe example of the Gold Coast. e The Gold Coast Government has n officially stated, "The main obl" ject of the Government's policy 'd has been to assist in creating the IS general conditions in which it a considerable increase in develop ie" ment expenditure could be under) taken. > "The principal factor which it r. was considered could affect sta ic bility, apart from development ex i- penditure, was an increase in coit coa income." d United Nations economic cirir cles also reveal that in the Gold i" Coast, Nigeria, and Uganda the ;s retention of a substantial portion 5t of expert receipts by the marketis/inp: boards "has had the effect of 'd. checking the increase in the pur)s chasing power of the private sec:n tor." j: It is very interesting to note J- that UN economic circles agree ic with the statements of Negro c>n conomist Dr. W. Arthur Lewis of ir\the University of Manchester ic (England) when they conclude that the further economic develi opment of seven African studies in "involves an enlargement of the ?y money economy- that is, a further ir shift of resources of land and la's bor from subsistence production to specialized production for markets." 1 Here again they disagreed with n the proponents of "colonial eco o nomies" with the statement: y "Since the proportion of total indigenous resources presently dc ie voted to subsistence production s- is large, the scope for further en d largement of the exchange econ -o omy is wide. 3.

President. ?1 ?. - PES money-income associated with an enlargement of the money economy and changes in the distribution of such income, will induce changes in J?^>its of spending and saving in elasticity of supply. -1,Thirdly,? changes in techniques of production especially in agriculture," are a necessary condition for economic development, and such changes cannot be presumed to come about automatically. " "In addition, there is a further problem-the development of incen tives appropriate to a money e conomy. As all competent observer? j)t_ the African developments in the spheres of economics, political changes, and social implications know fully well, in all countries of tropical Africa "economic policies must be considered in relation to their wid^r sbclfll Impllcat ions." African leaders in both the Gold Coast and Nigeria cannot help but agree with the assertion to the effect that economic development is largely contingent upon the evercoming of social resistence to economic and technical changes. It goes without saying that part of government resourses must of necessity be devoted to the mitigation of some of, the social consequences of economic development.". HOWARD CHAPEL AME CHURCH - Rev.
