II. p. Ewing. negro farmer OF

evolved plan that promises well for
the betterment Of his race. A farmer

The outcome of his long cherished
plan is the successful launching OF

walton and is now preparing to market
crop of vegetables OF all kinds that
will show results OF scientific and in
tensive farming.
For 35 years Ewing has been raising
crops in Wyandotte county. at one
time having 1000 acres OF ground
planted wholly to potatoes. From his
years OF experience he has evolved
ideas that not only increase his yield.
but enable him to market the best
class OF farm products. For example.
he has found that turnips furnish the
best fertilizer for potato ground.
81 find for this climate and soil that
the Red River Ohio potato is the best
seed to plant" he said In describing
his methods. "As soon as the crop Is
harvested | SOW the ground to turnips.
The best OF these harvest. the bal
ance are plowed under. enriching the
soil and resulting in better grade
OF potatoes the following year. The
best time to market potatoes here Is
in July and August. Prices are bet
ter. as we do not have to compete
with the northern grown product"

The American Genetic association
foresees a solution of the so-called
race problem In the natural increase
of the two races as analyzed by Pro
fessor Wilcox of the census bureau.
Mr.. Wilcox says the Negro is stead
lily losing ground in the South both
by immigration of whites and by
their own declining birthrate. They
are losing still more rapidly in the
North.
The more rapid increase OF the
whites is attributed not only to the
influx OF immigration. but to the fact
that in the registration area where vi
tai statistics are available. including
threefifths of the whites and one-fifth
OF the negroes, the negro death rate
exceeds the white by about two-thirds
In the past 80 years the excess in the
proportion of negro children has been
falling until the present differnce be-
tween the race is less than one-fourth
that OF 1880. and will, at the present
rate, have disappeared when the next
census Is taken. This decline In the
birthrate is ascribed largely to ne
pro emigration into the northern cit.
les. The birthrate among negroes in
the city is but two-thirds OF city
whites. whereas in the country 1t is
above the country whites. Besides the
fecundity OF all races is lower in the
North and the negro trend northward
Is constantly increasing.

Not only Is II of vital interest to this
whole municipality Of Houston that its
large negro population should acquire
that reasonable intelligence which is
the fruit OF a good system OF. public
schools and those useful habits of sus-
tained labor which will make them in
valuable in the growing Industrial en-
terprises of Houston. but 1t is of equal
interest that the negro population
should live on sanitary streets and in
sanitary yards and homes and that
when stricken with disease they should
have access to a we'll planned and well
regulated hospital. Modern economists
and statisticians have demonstrated
that the financial losses due to pro-
ventable illness reach an astounding
annual total among those employed in
the Industrial enterprises OF the ma
ton.
These statistics apply with force to
the colored population of the South
where the negro is a large Industrial
factor. Hence this movement for
negro hospital facilities is timely
step in the right direction-a step die
tated by an enlightened scientific self
interest on part of the good white peo-
pie as well as by the more unselfish
humanitarian and religious motives.

tunity presented you in this great city.

 Mrs. Burnett always looks stunning and yesterday in her dark blue cloth gown trimmed with fur and corsage cluster of lilies of the valley she was a fetching ex- ponent of the new modese.
 The bride followed her matron of honor to the altar wearing smart going-away suit of midnight blue broadcloth, to which little turban encircled with zebra feath- CTS gave a bright touch. A white prayer book marked with a spray of valley lilies accentuated the dignified note of her cos tune, and her ornament was a handsome diamond pin, the gift of the bridegroom

mingham. After the fairs each year we want to convert the grounds into a. real playground for the people,. In Cleveland l visited the fair which was novel in that the idea is stllAin it's infancy there. The fair is held under tents as they have no buildings at all yet. They had an im- mense attendance, however, and a very good fair. In Nashville l was impressed with the immense proportions of the grandstand. It is almost twice as large as ours. and it was filled to it's utmost capacity each time ISwas present. Of course in Louisville the live stock was one of the most important features of the fair. Twelve hundred head of cattle magnificent specimens, too-were on exhi- bition.''
 So much for the fairs l have attended within the past 10 days said Mr Brown and now for the Alabama State Fair l want to say first of all that the woman s department surpasses anything I have ever seen anywhere. Rice x Dores car nival, which is a brand new attrac- tion at this years fair, is a southern organization, and you can judge of it's popularity when I tell you that 1t has been booked from Seattle to Cleveland consecutively since the fair season com menced The giant roller coaster which MT. Welcher has built is half mile track and is one of 20 which he operates in the
 
 fact that has already been stated, that in the 20 roller coasters which he operates, also one in Toronto, where the attendance at the fair is 100000 people. and in Dallas, Tex, where the attendance amounted to 750,O00, and of course you can imagine the number out of these who patronize the roller coaster, he has never had an acci- dent, not so much as a pin scratch to any of his patrons"
 "Paines fireworks this year." MT. Brown went on to say will be pre- sented on larger scale than ever be- fore and MT. Duffield, who will su- perintend the production, numbers over 300 people in the performance of the Panama Canal In Time of War The free acts with MT. Caruthers again at the helm, includes some very high salaried performers, and some of the best acts that have ever been seen here or anywhere else are on the list
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-25

We have chosen the cleanest and the most wholesome attractions in every de- pertinent, for we want the atmosphere of the Fair to be educational, entertain ing and productive of good. We have not only considered the pleasure of our patrons, but their safety and comfort as well, and am enthusiastic over the manner in which everything is being done"
 And tho music?" I questioned
 The very best has been provided" said MT Brown. 'The Scotch High lander band, under the directorship of MT Ray Smith, has an enviable repu- tation, so much so that MT. Caruthers has booked the band for a tour of the country after thef fair saeson is over On account of conflicting dates Mem phis was unable to secure the Scotch Highlander band, and so they asked Nashville to allow the band to go to Memphis for Sunday concert for which they paid $125O. The Scotch Highlander costume-kilts and head dress make the band a very picturesque figure, appealing to- the eyes as we'll as enjoyable to those who love music"
 Tt is unnecessary to ask if you have received hearty cooperation in your efforts in spite of the war;" I sug- gested, because your enthusiasm shows
 
 Unlimited and enthusiastic support has been received from every quarter" said Mir Brown, "and the board of di- rectors has not only given freely their support and energy and time, but the members have solicited opportunities to assist. That the fair is one of the greatest advertising mediums that Bir- mingham has ever had---in fact, that Alabama has ever had-is pIaintly shown in the desire of the concession peo- pie to come here. They have all headed for Birmingham and the State Fair and they all want to come here, which they are doing, following on the heels of the fairs at Louisville, Nash vile and the other big cities, showing that Birmingham stands high in the list of fair towns. I would like to have this point understood: The fair belongs to the people of this state-to those who have helped and are helping to make 1t success. It is theirs, and we want them to enjoy it, and just here it may be timely to suggest that it is a mis- taken idea that so many have that the fair Is not as good on the opening days as it is later in the season We pay for the same amount of music and the same attractions on that day, as we do will be in order next Monday just as II will be on the final day of the fair We ought to have a record breaking attendance next Monday We have done our best tp make the 1914 Alabama States Fair Ia success, and now we off, fer it to the public for approval"
