MANUAL OCCUPATIONS
URGED FOR NEGRO RACE

CHICAGO. Sept. 1S-ManuaI occupations
were urged as best for negroes by Gov.
Charles S. Dineen in an address to a
large audience OF negroes last night at
an exposition OF the Negro Business
league in Bethel African Methodist Epis-
copal church. Governor Dineen pointed
out that the desire TO shine in a pro-
fession instead of working at a bust
ness career was the bane of any member
OF a race that must climb against as
many obstacles as must the negro.
The governor advised young negroes
looking for an opening to turn their at
tention to the farming enterprises of Can
ada and the northwest. He recommended
the establishment in a building, to be
owned by the negroes. of a permanent ex-
position Of negro products.

of his alleged responsibility for a NUM-
Der of negroes in the federal services

Floats may take the place of a large

While insoluble phosphates will not give
as good return Immediately as the
acid phosphate, when used I'm consider
able quantities through a series of years,
the results obtained to date seem to favor
the use of floats, while the cost Of apply
ing the needed fertilizer has been reduced
by about one-haf. Two tons of acid phos-
phate will cost about $50, while containing
the same amount of phosphorus as one
can buy for IS in a ton of finely ground
phosphate rock containing as much as q
per cent OF phosphoric acid. good rule
to follow Is to apply 100 pounds of rock
phosphate to each ton Of manure or COM
post as 1t is made. In lieu of this 100
pounds of floats may be mixed with each
load Of manure just before spreading on
the efild. The floats will hardly prove as
effective when used this way as when al
lowed to remain mixed with the compost
heap for some time before 1t is applied to
the. soil. Where farmyard manure is not
available. 1000 to 1000 pounds of finely
ground phosphate rock may be applied to
each acre of land, the application being
made once in three years. To use floats
In this manner. however, one must prac-
tice rotation of crops in which cowpeas,
soy beans and other legumes will have a
prominent place.
In general we may conclude, therefore.
that the soluble phosphates, like acid
phosphate. are quicker in action and bet
ter suited to short-season, high-value
crops which It is desirable to force to
early maturity. For long season crops.
and for such plants as turnips, rutabagas,
cabbage, ETC., insoluble phosphates may
often prove quite as effective and much
more economical. To secure satisfactory
returns from floats, the soil must be well
stocked with vegetable matter or made
rich through the use of farmyard manure,
green manures or compost. rotation
must be practiced where insoluble phos-
pilates are substituted for the more quick
ly available acid. phosphate now In COM
mon use. Insoluble phosphates Will often
give good results on moist lands, and es-
pecially clays, but do not seem to be well
adapted for use on dry sandy soils.
