The reporting Of crop conditions
throughout the country by the wealth
er bureau will be taken up again on
May 18th along the lines pursued by
the bureau several years ago. This
will be an added feature to the ma
tional weekly weather bulletin and to
the bulletins issued weekly by stat..

Prof Charles F. Marvin, chief of
the weather bureau has decided to en-
large the scope of these publications
by giving more attention to the eff
feet of the weather on the progress of
the different crops.
A special effort will be made to
make these statements as comprehen
sive and accurate as possible, keeping,
in mind the fact that weather is also
frequently responsible for the presence
of many plant diseases, especially
those of a fungus nature, as well as
many insect pests. The object of these
weekly bulletins will be to report the
present state of the crop and just what
the effect of the weeks weather has
been on it's growth, whether satisfac-
tory or unsa tisfactory and to what ex-
tent. and the contributing cause.
The cooperation of a few inte1lf-

and impartial weekly reports Of the
weather and crop conditions in their

still further increase the value Of
these publications. a summary will be

WHITE MAN KILLS

added that white men have never
bothered after colored women as
much as persons, like the women
quoted, have often declared. Hard
on the heels of the above discus
sions comes this shocking news
from Franklin, KY: Nov. IL
Two White men are being tried
here for the murder of Dona Gard
ner, colored woman. The men
are Hobby Taylor and Porter
Butts. 1t was testified by color
ed man that he and the woman had
attended a dance, aud on the way
home were stopped by the waite
men. Butts, after accusing the
woman cf promisine not to run
with Negro men, shot her three
times, killing her instantly. This
testimony was substantiated by
Leona Whitesides, another colored
woman, who said she and Dona
Gardner had an engagement 10
meet Butts and Taylor that night.
AS stated editorially by the
News last week, it is very common
in small towns to have white men
drive colored men away from their
own women. The case proves that
the while lady aud the News are
right and the Courier-Journal
wrong.

while Lioerian planters continue
to follow the crude and primitive
methods which they employed de-
cades ago.
And again, palm kernels are sold
to West Coast traders for S65 per
ton. This same ton of kernels,
once within the doors of modern
ly equipped factory, is quickly
transformed into a valuable oil
which forms the basis of many of
our toilet requisites, and is then
worth the handsome sum of S135.
Liberia has no such factories and
is quite content TO give 100 per
cent. profit to the other fellow.
The palm oil which she does not
export is so poorly filtered that its
commercial value is minimized at
least so per cent.
AS late as September 5, 1914, a
trade report stated that Liberia
was in urgent need of -four, pick
led pork, salt beef, corn meal, lard,
preserved milk, salmon, sardines,
vegetables, cheese, lice, sugar,
dried fish, tobacco, etc. On the
surface this statement looks quite

in enormous quantities, and here
is country whose waters abound
in fish and yet depends upon far
away Norway and Sweden and ev-
en- Amirica to supply her with
dried fish, while the blishment
of inexpensive fish curing stations
along her own sea coasts would
easily meet all her requirements.
Liberia, we fear, is a slave to ig-
norance, and foolish traditions.
Liberia needs more than anything
else the establishment of schools
to teach agriculture and practical
methods of doing things. Back
to-the Farm should be the Liber-
ian slogan.
With the government conduct
ing a systematic effort to educate
the two million Inhabitants of the
interior and perfecting an interior
drainage system, conditions there
would quickly assume important
propositions, the population would
increase and the natives would be-
gin to realize their agricultural op-
porlunities. And when advance
ment is made along these lines
and the Liberian people begin to
show disposition to get away
from their crude methods of doing
things, capital will come to their
aid and assist them in the develop
ment of their natural resources by
the establishment of factories and
the construction of railroads.

Forty-three thousand square
miles of Africa's most productive
soil, with sea frontage spanning
distance of 34O miles, convenient
to trading vessels and only ten days
from Liverpool, constitutes what
is geographically known as Liber-

the Western coast of Africa, tropi-
cal suns have coaxed nature to I'M

out the uncultivated forests, such
valuable products as coffee, ginger,
rubber, kola nuts, palm oil and

When we attempt to analyze
and classify Liberals possibilities
we find ourselves lost in maze OF
undeveloped resources more dense

stantly asking ourselves if Liberia

tablished Liberia as a colony for
the free Negroes then in their
countries. At that time, some of
the "wise ones" said that the ex-
pertinent would be failure while
others were broad enough in their
views to believe that with the in
filtration of white blood from the
Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese
slave traders and some knowledge
of western civilization these Ne

into one of the worlds important
commercial centers. The $4,000
Negroes of American, English and

American civilization. Instead of
applying what agricultural know

the soil what it has to offer them,
they depend upon the half civilized

content to gather, in a sort of
desultory fashion, whatever nature
choose to grow for them and send
it to the world markets as their
own. And even in doing this,
they are often careless.

coffee has supplanted it, not be-
