FRATERNAL INSTITUTIONS.
Hearty Support For Those (which
Meet Definite Needs of People.

Richmond. Na.-The National Ideal
Benefit society. of which a. w. Holmes
Is the national president, is the young
est fraternal organization in this city.
1t was organized about six months ago
and is forging rapidly to the front. 1t
is filling an important place in this
community and in other parts of the
state where its claims have been pre-
sented to the public.
One of the most encouraging signs of
progress in business. education aud
church life among our people at this
the fiftieth year of the races freedom
is the trend toward closer union for
mutual up!ift. The National Ideal
Benefit society therefore has not come
upon the scene too early, but at time
which calls for concerns of its kind to
strengthen the great fraterna chain
which must eventually encircle the
whole race. protect its members in the
time Of illness and gloom and give hope
and self reliance to those who are max
ing the fight up through difficulties to
higher planes of usefulness and citizen
ship.
The outlook for business enterprises
is brighter because a larger number of
persons of means and business qualifi-
cations are cooperating and giving the
benefit of their experience TO move
ments for racial advancement Again,
the business man of today can gather
around him better prepared assistants
than was possible to do a few years
ago. Young men and women Of bust
ness training may be easily secured.
The concern which gives employment
to members of the race if properly con
Quoted will prosper.
The fraternaI organization which
meets the definite needs of the people
should receive hearty support. Correct
business methods. faithfully kept rec
ords and promptly met claims are fea-
lures of this new mutual benefit soci-
ety. which is destined to spread
throughout the United States. The pro-
moters of the society are well known
in the business. religious and educa-
tional life of the city.
Among others interested in the anne
lioration of conditions among our peo-
pie worthy of mention Is the Bragg
Bros concern for securing better
housing for members of the race. Seq
regation laws cannot stop the progress
of the. determined, thrifty class OF
Afro Americans who know how to
overcome difficulties. The Anglo- Amer
lean hnaace corporation directed by
John MitchSll. Jr, is another strong
organization with large possibilities for
defeating unjust municipal enactments.

COUNSEL FOR ADVANCEMENT,
Precepts Adopted by tho Tuskssse Ne.
gro Conferences.

Precepts Adopted by the Tusksgse Ne.
gro Conference.
The following declarations of princi-
piles were adopted by the Tuskegee Ne
gro farmers conference during its re-
cent session at. the Tuskegee institute
In Alabama:
"At this twenty-secOnd annual meet
ing of the TuSkegee annual Negro con-
ference, fifty years after Abraham Lin
roln set us free. we rejoice ut the evil
dences we see around us Of the prog
ress of the people of our race.
while we rejoice in the opportuni-
ties that have come to us with emanci-
patton, we recognize that complete
freedom can come to us only as we
gain the knowledge that will flt us to
use these opportunities.
I'VE therefore urge upon our people
everywhere especially upon our teach
ers and preachers. to see to it that the
masses of our people are given the
kind of education that will fit them to
be honest, industrious and law abiding
citizens.
I'VE advise all of our people through
their local conferences. business
leagues or other organizations to urge
upon the proper authorities and also
upon their own people the wisdom and
necessity of improving the school
houses, lengthening the school terms
and of securing teachers who are able
to fit the education in the schoolroom
to the needs of the community outside
I'VE are glad to learn by the last
census that during the first fifty years
of our freedom something like 40 per
cent of our people have learned to read
and write. We urge especially upon
the farmers of our race to make use of
this knowledge. to read the agrcui-
tural papers. make themselves ac-
quainted with the best scientific meth
ods of improving their lands. increas
ing their stock and help to bring in an
era in the south when the farmer will
stop robbing the land and begin en-
riching it.
In this connection we are glad to
know that our farmers are making
progress. rs is shown by the presence
here today of colored man who rails
ed 200 bushels of corn upon one acre
of land. thereby winning among 10000
contestants the second prize offered by
the state OF Alabama to the farmers
who raised the largest amount of corn
per acre.
In conclusion we urge upon all OF
our people north and south to make
this fftieth anniversary of our free
dom the beginning of more united
effort to the end that the progress OF
the next fifty years may be even more
rapid. more enduring and more worthy
OF the respect of the world than that Of
the past"

man, have, in recent years been
seized with the desire to own a
farm, SO that today thousands and
tens OF thousands Of landless men
are either buying or planning to
buy farm. 1t is true that the
free homestead lands and the irri-
gated fruit lands In the west, to-
gether with the highly advertised
Canadian grain lands, are keen COM
petitors with Minnesota, but this does
not in the least discourage me In
the sanguine belief that Minnesota
will get her share-or more. The
prudent purchaser will surely &C.
quaint himself with the important
fact that in Minnesota we do not
have to "dry farm" that we do not
have to irrigate and we do not suf-
fer from early and disastrous frosts;
that our lands are, considering their
fertility, the cheapest and the best,
that they win produce and that we
have never had crop failure. With
these undisputed facts and figures
before me, I am firm in the opinion
that when l say that Minnesota will
accomplish more in the way of agri.
cultural development in the next
ten years than she has in the past
thirty. l feel that 1 have taken safe

convenient, and beautiful as they
might be-they just "put up with"
the old home and its old equipment
This doubtless has been due largely
to the difficulty in getting trained
architects to take up their peculia9
problem.
Now the State Art society, do
partment Of the state government
has taken up the problem for them.
Prizes totaling $780, will be given
and it is expected that a large num-
Der of plans will be entered. They
will all be shown at the exhibit of
the State Art society In the audi
torium, st. Paul., March 1-S; in the
Minneapolis public library, March q
TO 81, and in the Owatonna public
library, April IL to 81.
At least the six prize-winning
plans will be published and may be
obtained by any Minnesota farmer.
Later the first prize plans pros
ably win be carried out In house
built on the agricultural college
grounds In st. Paul.
The whole enterprise promises TO
be of great value to Minnesota farm
ers, who, If they will avail them
selves Of the information, may trans
form the appearance of their farms
and add greatly to the pleasure Of
living on them.

Interesting Facts About Minnesota
Farms

Some comparative figures compiled
by H. ]. Maxf1eld, commissioner of
immigration of farm statistics, COW
ering the period of thirty years,
from 1880 to 1910, are particularly
interesting as they show remark
able strides Of agricultural develop
ment IN Minnesota during that per-
iod. From 1886 farms in Minnesota
In 1880 to 156,137 in 1910 gives a
gain OF 63,751 farms or an average
annual Increase of 2,125 farms. OF
the 92,3S6 farms in 1880 but 54.1 per
cent of the land was improved.
However, 1910 figures show that of
the 156,l37 farms, II per cent are
improved, gain of about II per
cent In 1880 there was 7,246,69
acres of these farm lands improved,
while 1910 figures show that there
are 19,643,533 acres, a gain of 12,-
3S6,84O acres or an average annual
increase of 41322S acres. Perhaps
the most remarkable figures of all
are the values in 1880, Minnesota
farm lands with improvements, in
Guiding the buildings, amounted to
$193, 3,724,260 and in 1910 it has reach
ed the sum of s1,262,441,426, a gain
of $l,06S,717,166 and an annual in
crease of $35, 5,657,23S. The value of
implements and machinery on Min
nesota farms in 1880 was $13,089,-
7S3 and in 1910 1t amounted to $52,.
329,165, or gain Of $39,239,382 an
increase Of about 400 per cent.
Minnesota live stock values in
1880 was $31,904,S21 against $751;
641,146. a gain Of $129.736,325 and
an average annual increase OF $4,.
324,544. To total the whole, includ-
Ing farm lands, improvements and
property, We hnd that IN 1880 these
figures were $23S.71S,S64 against 81.
476.411737 In 1910. a gain Of 81.
237, ,692 1873, or an average annual
increase Of $41,256,429.
While the figures that / have just
quoted, show steady and substan.
tial increase Of agricultural develop
ment In Minnesota, predict that
during the next few years, we will
witness remarkable progress along
this line; in fact, believe, that we
will accomplish as much in the next
ten years, as we have in the last
thirty, and there are many things
that indicate that my prediction will
come true. Almost everyone who is
at all observing will agree with me,
that there is a universal land hunger
and that this back to the farm"
movement has firm grip unon us
