The California HOIstein-Fri es-
ian Association.

During the State Fair at Sacramento
last week a number of the Holstein-
Fresian breeders got together and
organized a state association. Those
present we're DR.. Rowland, Los An
geles County Farm; z. A. Davis, San
Anselmo; L. j. Gilkerson, Stratton;
F. L. Morris, Woodland; L. A. Hall,
San Jose; j. w. Benoit, Salida; II.
E. Cornwell, Modesto; President,
Charles WEIGH, Los Banos; Secretary
treasurer, j. w. McAllister. Chino.
The mbership fee was placed at the
nominal fee of one dollar which is
within the reach of every breeder no
matter how small and all are urgently
requested to join the association.
The president will appoint an ex-
ecutive committee and several vice
presideuts-t plan being to have a
vice president in each county where
there are any herds of registered
Holsteins. The objects of the associa-
ton are set forth in Article OF the
constitution which is as follows:
"The objects of the club shall be
the production Of good fellowship
and the general interests Of the Hol-
stein Friesian breed Of cattle, by secur-
ing favorable legislation, equitable
freight rates, uniform classifications
at fairs, ample representation at the
National Association, holding public
sales at auction, discussion OF best
methods of breeding, rearing and ex-
hibiting. and raising the standard OF
excellence of the breed, and to bring
before the public the good qualities
and exceptional merits of the breed,
and other subjects of interest at
regular called meetings and in all
ways to generally widen and extend
the interest of this breed of cattle
and act in unison on all occasions
which demand it.
One of the prime motives in organic
ing at this time is to plan for a big
show on Holsteins at the 1915 fair to
be held in connection with the Pana-
ma Pacific Exposition at San Fran

Bishops Great Live Stock Farm

The Ranch has received a number
of warm compliments on the hand
some cover of our September 1st issue.
The combining of two color cuts in
such way as to make good picture
is a difficult matter for the printer.
The picture was sort of combination,
illustrating farm buildings, herd and
scenes on Mr.. Bishops Holstein ranch
at Chimacum, Washington. His herd
now numbers about 200 head Of pure
bred Holstein COWS and about 100
grades. There 80 A. K. o. COWS and
soon as the others can be tested those
going below the test admitting them
to the big record will be eliminated
and high test COWS put in their places.
Mr.. Bishops oldest bull is Quirinus
Cornucopia, grandson of the world s
greatest bulls (Aaggie Cornucopia
Johanna Lad), and Quirinus Cornu-
copia's dam has an official record of
3O.7 pounds of butter in seven days
with an average test of milk of 4.42
per cent fat and this bulls four
nearest dams average over % per cent
of butter in seven days.
His first pure bred cow was bought
in 1900 and she had six bull calves in
five years. Prior to that time Mr..
Bishop was running a dairy farm of
graded Jerseys and common COWS.
He has no difficulty at all in selling
all his surplus bulls and other stock
at reasonable prices.
The farm now occupied by Mr..
Bishop was located on in the year
1854 by Il. S. Robinson, who was kill
ed only short time ago in Seattle
by an automobile. Mr.. Robinson
took up the place as donation claim,
he being the first settler in Chlmacum
valley. Mr.. Bishop bought 1T In 1889.
He has paid for two other farms since
then, though that is only % years
ago, Both OF the other farms are
under cultivation, there being about

great force and intelligence. He has
been in the state Legislature, served
in session in 1899, 1901, 1905 and 1909.
He has always exerted a strong in
huence in legislature which effects
the farmers of this state, particularly

CLASSIFICATION OF THE
RACES OF THE WDRLD

So much is being said concern
ing the "yellow peril and of the
increasing intelligence of all of
the dark races that a brief sum-
mass of the population of the
world as divided between the white
and the dark races is peculiarly
interesting.
The whites include the Hindus,
Persians, Greeks, Latins, Celts and
Anglo Saxons. or all the people of
Aryan stock, who number approx
imately 69O,Ooo,Oo0, while the
dark or colored races include $780,
100000. Mongolian, or yellow
people; l5O,000,000 Negro, or
black; 30, 100000 Malay or brown,
and Is, 100000 Indian or red to-
tai of 93O,O00,00O people of the
dark races as compared with $780,
100000 whites.
The difference of 140,000,0OO in
favor of the dark races seems to be
a cause of serious apprehension in
certain parts of the world, and it
is thought that the militant stride
of the Japanese will be copied by
the Chinese and prove source of
inspiration to the other dark races.
From every quarter of the globe
comes disquieting news. Even in
this country, where the Negroes
gave 240 or more years of unre-
Quilted toll, they are treated as
aliens, and through the process OF
elimination on account of color
they share the humiliation of the
Japanese and Chinese.
But the dark skinned people
throughout the entire world are
awakening. The cloud of ignor-
ance is rapidly passing away be-
fore favorable breeze of intelli
gence. They are asking the
whites for square deal, and it is
feared by the "alarmist" that with
in the course of few years, the
request will grow more insistant
and finally take the form of de-
mand. After that Wash

25OO CONVERSIONS
IN 8 WEEKS

Norfolk, Va, May 2.-All Nor
folk is wild with religious excite
ment. Thousands of white people
stand around the Bank street Bap-
tist Church unable to ger in, while
hundreds of young converts join
with hundreds of older Chris
tians in working over from three
to five hundred mourners. Last
week was the most wonderful ever
known in the religious history of
Norfolk. Beginning with Sunday,
when there were fifty-one converts,
the number of conversions rose
higher as the week went by, until
by Saturday night 912 had made a
profession of. religion in the
church. Monday night there were
100, Tuesday 81, Wednesday 113,
Thursday 232, Friday night 296,
Saturday 26. Up to date there
have been about $500 conversions
in this one church alone; 250 have
already been baptised, and there
are $50 awaiting baptism Sunday,
while it is probable from the num-
Der who are joining nightly that
there will be about 1000 additions.
Many of the leading white pas
tors are attending the meetings.
The saloons, of which there are a
great many in the colored neighbor
hoods are deserted. In one case
the barkeeper was converted and
gave up his job, and in another the
keeper of the pool tables gave up
$25 a job because he was con-
verted.

read from time to time your
paper with great deal of interest
and profit. I am glad to note the
sane advice which you give to the
people of Liberia from time to
time.
No one, not even the citizens of
Liberia, is more interested in the
progress and success of the he
public than [ am.
One thing 1 consider fundamen-
tai 1t is this. No matter how
much aid or encouragement Liber-
ia may receive from outside sour
ces whether in the form OF money,
advice or service, permanent sue
cess, and therefore permanent in
dependence, cannot be achieved
unless all the people in Liberia
realize that it is with nation as
with an individual, the nation
must earn more than it spends 9TH
erwise it will go into bankruptcy
sooner or later. A nation must
export more than it imports or IL
nancial disaster follows. This
means but one thing, that the Lii
berian people should try to get
their living out of the natural re-
sources OF their country instead OF
depending to any extent upon the
resources of foreign countries.
Everytime Liberian eats tin OF
canned goods imported from any
other country, it means poverty for
the Liberians; it means that the
Liberians are paying somebody
else to manufacture the tin cans,
paying somebody else to put the
goods in the tin cans, are paying
the freight upon the cans, and all
this of course means money taken
out of Liberia.
| very much wish that in Lioer-
ia there might be something of the
old time New England spirit in re-
gard to a consumption OF home
products. l wish that the lead
ing Liberians might set the fash
ion and therefore create public
sentiment that would make 1t
fashionable and desirable for LII
berians to eat, with little excep
ton, only that which they can pro-
duce in their own county. Here
in Tuskegee our teachers and stu
dents are encouraged to have their
meals composed as often as posi-
ble of things which are produced
on our own farm and in our own
country. 1 have frequently gone
into our dining room where we
have over 1000 students and
The Colorado statesman., 1911-05-13

teachers boarding, and have found
practically nothing upon the tables
but what has been grown upon
our own farm by the hands of our
own students. Personally moth
ing gives me more delight and
satisfaction than to have on my
own table poultry, vegeta bles and
other products which have raised
with my own hands in my OVID
garden. | value this much more
highly than anything produced by
the hands of others which might
purchase.
Liberians must in an increasing
degree, it seems to me, go into the
soil, go into the water, go into the
forests, and get out the riches OF
nature and consume these riches
and not debend upon outside ma
tions to suppy them with the ne
cessities of life. All this means
another thing, and that is, that a
large proportion of the brightest
men and women should receive
scientific, technical and industrial
education in order to enable them
to understand and master these
natural resources to the extent
that these riches right about their
feet can be gotten out and used in
the markets of the Republic. No
matter how many loans Liberia
may secure, unless this policy is
pursued financial and other en-
barrassmeuts will be the result.
l am glad to note that in your
paper as we'll as in other publica-
cations of Liberia that there is an
increasing tendency in the direc-
ton to wich I have referred.
