by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
that there are no negro chemists in
this country, during the debate on
the agricultural extension work bill
in the senate, Ralph w. Tyler has
sent letter to Senator Smith nam
ing a number of negro chemists.
Il do not know negro chemist"
was the remark of Senator Smith.

Mr.. Tyler. In his letter Mr.. Tyler
says:
At Tuskegee institute they have a
negro agricultural chemist, Professor
Carver, graduate of the University
of Iowa, whom former Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson pronounced on of
the best agricultural chemists in the
country. There is also now in the
department of agriculture negro
chemist, Richard H. Lewis of the
University of Illinois, who won his
place in competition with white
chemists. l could give the names of
many negro chemists, but even one
is sufficient to puncture your sweep
ing statement that there are no ne
gro chemists.
