One of the plans that the commits
sioners5 will bring up as a basis for
discussion|next Friday is that the
dealers agree voluntarily to double
the price at which cheap wine will be
sold. thus materially lessening the
sales, for the cheap wines, particularly
the several wines known here as
"dago red, are sold principally to
poor people. ~ ~. a
The voluntary raise in the price of
dagO red, it is believed, would have
two effects. First, it would cut down
the sales in this drink second, ii
would turn the drinkers largely from
wine to beer, since wine would then
become higher. proportionately than
beer. ".->.-~ III.
Chairman willard F. Brown of the
license commission said today that
while the plan proposed cannot, Of
course, be made an order of the COM
mission, he believes that it will meet
with favor by many dealers.
Such move" he said, will be
purely voluntary, but the licensees
who already largely oppose the sale
of the cheap wines, will probably wish
to agree to the plan rather than TO
allow present conditions to continue.
for present conditions might lead to
more drastic legislation than any yet
passed. H. So
These cheap wines are much more
stronger in alcoholic content than
beer, the wines being about twenty per
cent and the beer four per cent. IL
the price of these cheap wines can be
raised from twenty-five to fifty cents
per quart, the sale would be much di-l
minished and many drinkers would
probably turn to beer, which has not.
the same injurious effects as wine
This so-called dago red is not taken
as drink, anyway; it Is taken to pro-
duce aF.jag
while we recognize that the plan.
proposed is not perhaps an ideal one.
yet it seems to offer possibilities, and
we hope to get large gathering and
free discussion next Friday afternoon.
The commissioners will also be glad
to hear as to any other plans for
checking the evil"

of these institutes were held in
twelve different counties. and
the Negro farmers became so
much interested to hear and
learn that many of them drove
thirty-five and forty miles in
order to attend these meetings.
AS might be expected, many
practical results have already
followed. For instance, in New
tea County, Georgia, forty-one
Negro farmers, according to in
structions received at these in
stltutes, set aside one acre each
of cotton, worked and feriilized
according to given instructions.
From these forty-one acres
they gathered forty-two bales
of cotton, averaging $500
pounds each, while forty-one
acres cultivated lin the usual

these twenty-nine acres they

1.-THE need for a more wide.

to give the Negro his chance.
At Clark University, one of
the largest educational institu-
tons of the South for the train
ing of the Negro, is a depart
ment to agriculture, which is .
credit to those in charge. It is
exactly along the line the South
claims the Negro should be
trained, yet how many people
of the city or State interested
in social progress have taken
the trouble to look into what is
being done there? The work is
