PAGE FOUR REDUCE COSTS AND EARN MORE ■• Average Farmer Possesses Innate Power To Stage Successful Comeback ♦ —— By GUY A. CARDWELL If markets for farm produce do not strengthen sometime soon, those farm-, ers who have not •topped the many j leaks left .->v_i from an easy living era will have to tighten up things or go broke sure enough. This should not be permitted to happen. The aver age farmer has the innate power of recovery, and when he finds that lie is dragging on the bottom he will make up his mind to come hack; fro he and his family are not going to ■ surrender to poverty without a des perate struggle The remedy for reduced income, if not found in advancing markets, will' have to be found in reducing losses on the farm. Many rural economists have sug gested various saving ways, hut it was A. W. Blair, soil chemist, New Jersey College of Agriculture, who discussed j the cust-cost-production question in an interesting and instructive article. Mr j Blair said in part: "For success the farmers of today have found it necessary to consider the following questions: 1. Have I carefully saved and used , all the manure that has been produced on the place? I "2. Have I followed the practice oi , having seed tested for purity and get j mination? > * 1 , "3. Has my land always .heen thor- | oughly prepared so that the seed has a , fair chance of nation? " !, "4. Have I given sufficient study ti>' , the problems of farm and , crop rotation? "5. Have I estimated how much I , might have saved had J put into prac tice well-known meth ids of control ling insect and fungous diseases i ( • "6. Have I heen as careful P"| might have been in the matter of neat-;, ness and quality and quantity in put- , -ting up .packages of fruits and vege j tables for the market "7. Have I studied the fertilizer re j quircments ofniy soil with particular j reference to the crops that I am grow-' ing? "8. Have I squarely faced the fact that it is contrary to the laws of na-i ture to take from an acre of land, for a period of 20 to 40 years, more plant food that I return to it, if I would my yields increase rather than- dr crease?" , Experience has shown that (he faini! ers who study these questions most carefully, and act accordingly, arc the farmers who survive and succeed.

While rummaging around in hit father'i trunk for paper to start a fire with, Mr. Freeman came »- cross a note on the Reichbank in Berlin that was issued in 1923 for 100,000 marks, j Before the World War this would have been worth about $23,000 in American money. . Now it is absolutely worthless, according to officials of the Branch Banking and Trust Co., who in vestigated. The bank note was found in the paper of H. L. Free man,- who died in 1926. It is not known how the elder Freeman ac quired the note. THE NEGRO AND HIS OWNNEW EMANCIPATION A Better Understanding Is Being Fostered Between Landlord and Tenant ByRwTjTM. PERRY For-the last year, there have heen several meetings in our county for the express purpose of fostering a better understanding and more cooperative ■effort between the landlord and the tenant. These meetings have been the means of bringing together both white ! and rolorul, most of whom were of; local prominence, and, best of all, men who have the problems of economic j justice, better race relationships, and j more profitable cooperation on their hearts. One year.has brought gratify- ' ing results, and if carried out on a j nation-wide scale, would have far reaching and telling effects upon the whole approach—problems and pro grams of the two races, and especially j of the farmers-of the south. The progress of the negro race in ! America since the Civil War is not j only a compliment to the colored race, j Imt to the helpful attitude of the white race, who, have, in untold ways, given the colored man who was really try ing' to do and to be something a help ng hand. eGELFAND RELISH "It's Always Fresh" j. R. PARKER GROCERY CO. At the ctose; of the war, only about i 12,000 negroes owned their homes, | now more than 700,000 own their homes. It is claimed that they have in this period accumulated more than two billion dollars in wealth. Their business enterprise touches almost everything from farm to factory— hanking, insurance companies, these two businesses alone running into the millions. At the close of the war, only about 10 per cent could read and write, and now nearly 90 per cent can read and write. It is true that among the col | ored soldiers of the late war they were about 50 per cent illiterate, that is, from the standpoint of the army offic-t ials. They could not read newspapers and write home. However, these sol diers represented a smalt fraction of the nearly 50,000 schoolteachers and more than 2,000,000 pupils of the pub lic schools, who can read and write, ti> say nothing of the college students iin institutions like Tuskegee, Fisk, Hampton, and the many others with state aid, and a chain of denomina • • tional schools for the colored all over I the south. The writer had the pleasure of ob serving the »external appearances of the physicaf equipment'of Tuskegee some time ago, its 52 stately and im posing buildings, its.jgiouiids, drives, 1 ;; nd walks, and was impressed with the potential power of such an insti tution for the training of leadership for the race. In fact, the colored race, like all other races, need trained, Christian leadership. No nation and no people can go forward without it. j It is an essential; it is indispensible. My own church group maintains colleges for the colored at Martins- 1 \ille, Va., Edwards, Miss., and Haw i kins, Texas.

However, the trend, thank 1 God, is toward law and order, and away from lynching. In 1889 there were some 175 lynchings, and by 1928 there were only 10. This is a sign on (he horizon of our national life that I portends for good, both to the white and the colored. It denotes a grow- : ing sense of respect for womanhood, motherhood, and virtue on both the part of the colored, and it also shows a trend away from mob violence to a respect for law and the orderly con stituted provision of trial by jury, j which is fundamental to true democ-ii racy, and which alone offers fairness I and justice to all concerned. 1 If civilization it to survive, we must : begin to practice the art of living to | gether. This is a question that touches the family, the community, the races, 'and the nations of the world.
