STICK TO THE FARM.
Advice to Negro Farmers In Confer
ence at Tuskegee Institute.

At the conclusion Of the eighteenth
annual Negro farmers conference re-
Gently held at Tuskegee institute, Ala
bama, the following declaration was
adopted:
"As representatives Of 100000 negro
farmers Of Alabama and of the south
we urge our people to assist In the en-
forcement Of the laws against the liq-
uor traffic wherever they exist AS
people we know the evils of the liq-
uor business, and we should not fall
into the habit because the laws are
made by some one else of Sinking our
responsibility in seeing that they are
enforced.
ITO Negro farmers throughout the
south we say: Stick to the farm The
cities have proved a curse to too many
Of our race. In spite of hardships and
special difficulties we are making prog
ress on the soil. In Alabama alone
Negro farmers paid taxes ten years
ago on $7,OO0,O0O worth Of property.
Now they pay taxes on over $4,000, 900.
ITO all our people In the rural dis
tricts we say: Stand by the rural
schools. Do not let your children wan
der away to the cities because they
cannot get proper schooling at home.
We can improve our home schools. In
a single year the farmers Of one coun-
ty Of Alabama contributed $1,000 from
their own pockets to lengthen their
school terms and improve their school
buildings"

More Trained Workers.

The report Of the Philadelphia Do
mestic Training Institute For Young
Afro-Americans, at Philadelphia, re-
Gently made public, showed that for the
first six months Of its existence 1874
young men and women had secured
work in pleasant homes and with few
exceptions were giving satisfaction to
their employers. The demand for
trained help, says the report, is in e1-
cess Of the supply. and many applica-
tons for trained workers have been
refused on that account. This institu-
ton is in need Of funds to carry on
its work. but will not solicit outside
aid. Plans have been made for the
sale Of food prepared at the institute to
secure the necessary funds.

PORTLAND, June 3o.-Despite the
Biting of st. Louis, who wished the

toda yaecepted and granted the recon-
mendation of the committee appointed
to consider the application of the
American Baptist womans home mis-
sionary society that the society be ad-
mitted as part of the convention.
The convention also referred to the

budget of 100000. The request tina.
tive committee was refused for the
reason that no society representation
as such, is permitted on the executive
committee.

afternoon. An official ballot was pre-
nared and 1ei delegates voted the solid
ticket, there being only two who
