GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1922 Haiti Will Produce Many Mil lion Pounds of Aromatic ' .. Berries This Year. PRICE IS VERY GOOD Si. Mare. HalCTf 0t. 2. Tier ara indlctlon In plenty hersXthat the coftW crop which Is now being flicked and shipped will be the Urg ent exported from Haiti In all her history. St. Mare la the center of the coffee growing oountry, and already the roads and trails are pouring In a flood of the aromatld berrlss that And such high f avoir In Western urop. Blnce the export tax on coffee produces a little more than one-third ot the government's entire revenue, and the coffee exports aver age1 two-thirds of all Haiti's export, trade, the Importance, of this recdrd breaking crop can be appreciated. ', At the peak of the French regime in Haiti a crop of 74,000.000 pounds s was exported to Europe ,Jn 1791, Thirty years later It had dwindled to 29.000,000 pounds as a result of neglect and the Incessant civil wars following Haiti's Independence In 180. Under Haitian rule It finally climbed In 1180 to 71,000,000 pounds, but the production was again at low ebb when the United States Inter vened in 1915. Three years later, when American troops had restored jorder In the Island, -It reached a tola! of 10.000,000 pounds, of $1,600. 000 declared value, and that year the crop paid 40 per cent of Haiti's en tire revenue. The present crop, however. Is de tlnod to exceed all previous French Haitian and American occupation figures, and the average price to the peasant will be nine cents a pound. Practically all. of the coffee goes to Havre for distribution through France. Belgium. Holland. Germany and Austria, where It Is used in small lota as a grading, coffee. ' It is worthy of note that prac tically not a dollar of the millions that the new crop will bring to Haiti wll) go Into the pocket of a single American, for the coffee Industry in Haiti Is wholly In the hands of Haitians, a few French, and a small number of men of mixed blood. There Is -not a single cultivated plantation In Haiti. The berries grow semi-wild from the old French days, requiring no Irrigation and re ceiving practically no care. , Coffee experts hold that through the Indo lence and (gnoranoe of the peasants, fully one-half of the average orop f t not picked, With attention to shad- I Ing and pruning, and with reasonable A 1 1 laranna thA Am 1 n sr hiimnatii Of An ' could certainty b quadrupled, they aver. The coming revision of the Haitian tariff that will materially reduce or eliminate the present ex port tax of three cents per pound will materially Increase the profits ot the peasant, and with the exten sion of the roads and trails made possible by the Haitian loan, coffee prospects are considered very good Indeed. "While Haitian coffee has not as yet gained a foothold In the United Slates. Its distinctive aroma and strength have outstripped all com petition In Western Europe.

Raleigh, Nov. 7 Ricks hall, agri cultural temple BtandlnK on "Ag hill" of Stata college grounds, is goMng through that domestic tragedy known aa moving day. But tha work Incident to houaing the experiment station and exten sion forces will be completed within a fortnight and when it is finished no Institution in the state will have a more beautiful home for those who are dedicated to the dutyif putting insuiuiiunni atiuc v nurii id ucim o mo people. Hicks hall is a-magnificent structure of pressed brick exterior and reinforced , concrete, gra.it te trimmed with limestone and terra cotta. It atanda three, stories bigb , and is 184 feet Ions by 81 in A-idtn. Designed by Architect ?. Murray Nelson and built by C. V. York, It Is one of the most Impressively con structed and situated of the group now attracting attention of all trav-' elers who pass it by rail on the south and by hard surface road on tha north. Upward of 60 offices, laboratories and classrooms make up the interior of Ricks hall. The experiment sta tion forces, agronomy division, horti cultural, poultry, animal husbandry and plant diseases departments, the state agent of farm demonstruMnn work, director of boys' club work. Dean C. B. Williams and others will occupy this bn tiding which his been named In honor of the soldier, states man, and philanthropist, Robert H. Ricks, of Rocky Mount. The building cost approximately $200, 000. The simple addition of a new building lo the material equipment of the college, is, however, not the cir cumstance which overflows State college with Joy. The Institution Is golng'to be a clearing house for the college. It Is called an "extension building" and It Is going td extend the college. It Is going to live up both to the privileges and the nbll gatlona that Inhere in the consolida tlon plans by which the experimental work of State college and the North Carolina department of agriculture 10 years bgo wptp lasting: and effective. How State college became lost In the sundry activities common to both the state department of agrl- j culture and the college, nobody seems i to know. But the citizens of Ricks, hall do not intend that it shall hap pen again. When Governor Morrison spoke at the formal opening of "Wlac" radio station here a few nights ago, he adverted to that peculiar circum stance by whloh State college, a de voted child of the fctnte. had been allowed to drift Into a state of rela- k tlve orphanage. His excellency pledged his best to keep perpetually before the people the work done by this Institution. Under the special advantages which the extension building will provide by having the bulk of agricultural workers, both In extension and In experiment station housed within the same walla, the Institution hopes for that recogni tion, tardy as It has been, which will show the people that It isn't merely a peddler of farm and engineering Ideas. It Is no less pragmaUst than tt Is expounder of theories. Moving day is therefore a happy occasion at State college and will be despite the chaos which attends thefceremony. The folks within the walls of Ricks hall are going to carry what the college is doing back to the state. The institution is go ing to be In' the commonwealth and of It. It always has been, of course; the trouble was nobody seemed to know It, MINIMUM WAGE LAW IS HELD TO BE INVALID Court Fssrs Social Disorder snd Revolution If Tendencies Ar Not Curbed. Washington. Nov. 6. Declaring that the "modern tendency toward Indiscriminate legislative and Judicial JiiKirlery'' with great fundamental questions of free government. If per sisted In, would lead ultimately to 'social disorder and revolution," the District of Columbia court of appeals today held unconstitutional the minimum wage law effective In the capital. In holding the law Invalid and thereby establishing what Is re garded as likely to be a precedent of far reaching Importance, the court of appeals reversed Itself from a deci sion handed down In June, 1921. The court divided two to one on the question. The dissenting opinion, rendered by Chief Justice Smyth, assailed the right of Associate Justices Van Orsdel and Rohb to rehear the case, brought b ya local hospital to enjoin the wage board from enforcing the law. The majority opinion, however, denounced the minimum wage law, which It declared would take from every American cltlsen the "moet sacred safeguard the constitution affords, the right to bargain and sell his labor for tha highest wage his skill and efficiency afford." "No greater calamity could befall the wage earners of the country." the opinion asserted, "than to have the legislative power to fix wages up held. Take from the cltlsen this most sacred safeguard and the laborer would be reduced to an automaton a mer creature of the state. It. it' paternalism In the highest degree, and the struggle of tbe centuries tu ' establish the principle that the slate estsla for the cltlsen and not the clt lsen for the state would be lost." The opinion added that tha act ! oould not be vindicated as a proper exercise of the police power nor could it oe oiassed as a law to tide over an emergency, on which ground some war time legislation has been upheld by the courts.
