The business and professional Ne
gro men of Chicago are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY Of organizing a ma
tional Negro exposition and semi-cen.
tennial to be held in this city in 1915.
The purpose Of the exposition Is to
exploit the skill of the Negro crafts
man and, presumably, to show how
greatly the Negro has progressed in
civilization since his emancipation In
America. It is an excellent idea and
1t Is to be hoped that it will be car
ried out. The year 1915 will mark a
half century since the American Ne
gro has been free. In that time he
has accomplished great deal, but
the full story of his accomplishment
is not as well known outside Of his
own race as it should be. An ex-
position such as the one proposed will
tell that story more fully and wildly
than in any other way, and 1t Is a
story not only worth the telling, but
highly necessary to be told. At such
an exposition the country will be en-
abled to see with it's own eyes what
the negro has done and what he is
capable Of doing.-Chicago Inter-

Sam Mccall Is an ex-slave, illiterate
and seventy-fiye years old, but he Is
teaching the farmers of the world
some noteworthy lessons. He has
won fame by producing on his little
farm in central Alabama the largest
amount of cotton to the area ever
grown in the United States. This is
one bale to an eighth Of an acre Of
land. Sam Mccall has developed a
method of cultivation on once worth
less land which Is so successful that
he thinks nothing now Of producing
three or four bales Of cotton on an
acre, or eighty bushels Of oats or
bought land to the amount of 100
acres. He cultivated forty acres and
the first year he made hardly enough
to keep himself. He concluded that
with his limited equipment and in view
of the fact that he was doing practical.
ly all his own work it would be wise
for him to reduce the amount of land
He gradually brought his cultivated
farm down to two acres, and for TWEEN.
ty-four years has spent all Of his time
and energies in what farm experts
call one of the most interesting ex-
amples of intensive farming carried
on In the United States. According
to some who have gone to Alabama to
study his methods, the reason for the
ex-slave's success in agriculture is due
largely to the fact that he has manu-
featured nitrogen In the soil unknow-
ingly by feeding the soil bacteria with
carbohydrates and cellulose, coming
from the refuse of the crops. Nc
Calls land is part Of an abandoned
farm. Before he began to cultivate it
the soil was perhaps as bad as any
that can be found on any farm in the
southern states. The former slave
knew nothing Of scientific methods Of
cultivation, but he was good obser-
yer. He noticed white farmers in his
section gathering leaves in the fall to
spread over their land to form humus
in the soil. He had never heard of the
word humus, but he concluded the
white farmers knew what they were
doing and he followed suit. He later
decided to use the refuse of all crops
as fertilizer. At the time he began to
cultivate his land commercial fertil-
izers were little known, and the ex-
slave has never made use of them

Record Crop Yield

The college of Hawaii in its
course in Crop Improvement" is
developing superior strains of five
varieties of field corn suited to
Hawaiian conditions.
The main object sought after
in t hi S experimental breeding
work; is to develop high yielding
strains of uniform quality.
Some of the yields obtained from
the college farm at Manoa are ex-
ceeding 90 bushels per acre an
average of all varieties tested being
about 70 bushels per acre.
These are record yields and
show the value of thorough bred
seed stocks; which are being deve-
loped with the same care as live
stock.
Beginning Dec. 1st. the college
of Hawaii offers for free distribu-
ton to all who will agree to re-
port upon the results of their X
perimental paintings two pounds
of each of the following varieties;
Reids, Yellow Dent; Funks, Nine
