PLEASANTVILLE, N. Y.
In less than a generation,
Negroes have marched farther
toward full participation in
American life than In all of
the past, says Albert Q. Maisel
n the September Reader’s pi-
gest.
Appraising Negro pro^-ess
in industry, Maisel notes that
in the South as well as .the
North, more and mor^ Negro
are finding skilled jobs. For
example, Lockheed Aircraft
today has 1000 skilled Negro
workers in its Marietta, Ga.
plant alone.
In 1930 there were fewer
than 200,000 Negro trade-
union members. Currently
there are almost two million,
and a "growing number of Ne
groes have risen to posts of
union l^dership. In 1944 the
telephone industry hired its
first Negro clerks and switch
board operators. Today it has
more than 10,000. Big-city
banks and department stores,
formerly employing Negroes
only as janitors, now have
many as clerks, stenographers,
tellers and accountants.
The Negroe^s wages have
increased to more than four
timest their 1040 level, the ar
ticle states. This new pros
perity has created a vast new
market wth a purchasing
power of $16 billion a year.
Full integration is now the
rule in the Armed Forces.
Among the nearly 6000 Negro
officers is Brig. Gen. Benja
min O. Davis, Jr., of the Air
Force.
Similar advances are evi
dent in education. In 1932 only
7000 students' attended Negro
colleges, with possibly 2000
more Negroes in unsegregated
colleges of the'North. By 1047,
Negro-college enrollment had
cHmbed above 70,000; Negroes
in other colleges numbered 12,

Ml Carolina Farmer Gets Greater Production
With Less Fertilizer After Having Soil Tested
GREENSBORO
A North Carolina farmer
has found out the “liard way”
that proper use of fertilizer, is
lot less expensive and much
jre productive than using
more than enough.
J. H. McCollum, Route 3,
Lumberton, a tobacco grower
related last week an interes
ting story of his experience to
S. J. Hodges, agronomy speci
alist, with the A&T College
'Extension Service. He pur
chased eight bags (1,600
pounds) of 3-9-6 tobacco fer
tilizer per acre for the W. L.
Powell Estate for the past ten
years. McCollum had never
had his soil tested. The only
reason he could give for using
1,600 pounds of fertilizer was
that it took eight bags of fer
tilizer to make a good tobacco
crop' and many of the people
in the community used that
much.
Plans were all worked out
and English teacher Mfs. E. M
Robinson who will be employ
ed by the Greensboro City
System. This teacher awaits
and a replacement for Science election at present.
purchasing fertilizer for the half bags of fertilizer per acre
the ‘55 crop, the same amount
for purchasing fertilizer for
and analysis as in the past. Af
ter listening to a discussion on
soil testing and tobacco ferti
lization by the county agent,
S. T. Brooks, McCollum de
cided not to follow the recom
mendation of his neighbors,
but to have his soil tested.
He spent one day taking
soil samples on the 28 acre to
bacco allotment on the estate.
By late December he had re
ceived all of the reports on
his soil test. He was amazed
to learn that the Soil Testing
Division had recommended
only 900 pounds of 4-8-10 fer
tilizer per acre. In studytag
his reports he noticed at the
bottom of the report the fol
lowing statement; “If you
have any questions on our re
commendations for crops, con
tact your local agricultural
leaders or write to the Soil
Testing Division.’’
McCollum could not rest
until he made a trip to Lum
berton to talk this over With
the county agent. He told his
story, pointing out that the
Soil Testing Division had evi
dently made a mistake in re
commending only four and one
for his tobacco crop. The
county agent pointed out that
for average conditions 30-40
pounds of nitrogen; 60-70
pounds of phosphorus; and 80-
100 pounds of potash was suf
ficient for an acre of tobacco.
Before leaving the office, Mc
Collum decided to go along
with the recommendation.
By July 15, McCollum was
so pleased with his results thdt
he sent for the county agent to
come out to his farm. MThen he
was asked if he thought the
weather conditions had any
thing to do with the crop he
answered—“We have had fa
vorable weather this year, but
I have been here for ten years
and have seen favorable wea
ther condition; before, but I
lOWN

Wtmtiiiii Hiiwwitt
have never seen htUrr pro*-
pectj for a tob*oco crap that I
have thia year.” When aiirwl
bow he thought it wotiM MO*
he said he didn’t know, but
the quality seemed good. He
also stated that bjr toUowing
the recommendation of the
Soil Testing Division, be bad
saved $400.00 in fertilizer,
which should go a long way
toward harvesting the tobacco.
McCollum is not only con
vinced that soil testing pay*
and that one should buy NPK
rather than bags of fertilizer,
but he has learned'much about
liming and fertilizing other
crops grown in rotation with
his tobacco.
Many of McCollum’s neigh
bors who have watched the
crop grow all the year, com
mented on the good tobacco
crop he has produced with
four and one-lialf bags of fer
tilizer. Many tell of the money
they have wasted in fertilizer
and say they will not . plant
another crop without first
having their soil tested.

I’VE LIKED THE TASTE OF
EVERY LUCKY I’VE SMOKED”
Luckies taste better
thon any of the rest
says HOLLYWOOD HAT DESIGNER
FRANK L. STAf||EY, editor of Louisville Defender, has
this to say about Luckies: “I liked the way my first Lucky
tasted ... and I’ve liked the taste of every one I’ve smoked
since. That’s why I smoke them.**
“I smoke Luckies
because they
taste better”
says CIVIC LEADER
MILDRED BLOUNT, famous Hollj^ood hat designer, has
smoked Luckies about four years. “I’ve tried all the brands,
one after the other,” she says. “Honestly, Luckies taste
better than any of the rest.”
Luckies taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste
better. —the famous Lucky Strike process—
tones up Luckies’ light, mild, good-tasting tobacgo to make
it taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother. So,
next time it’s light-up time, light up the better-tasting
cigarette, Lucky Strike. •
'It'S toasted" to taste better!
