Junius G. Groves, negro farmer of
Kansas, seems to have answered in the
affirmative the question as to whether
his race is capable of conducting busi-
ness on large scale and becoming
financial factors in their communities,
Booker T, Washington likes to tell the
story Of tins man and his wife, who be-
gan life without dollar and now own
farms in the best sections OF Kansas.
Last year Groves produced $4,000
bushels Of the finest potatoes more
than any other one man is known to
have raised on his own land. He is
called the 'potato" king Of America,

lines pointed out by Mr.. Groves.
