HEALTH WEEK.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala. - After
carefully considering the whole mat
ter, I am authorized by the Executive
Committee of the National Negro
Business League to invite the follow.
ing organizations, as well as others
to be named later, to unite with the
League in observing a National
Health Week:
Daily and weekly newspapers,
Health journals,
The National Medical Association,
The National Association of Grad.
uate Nurses,
The National Association Of Color
ed Women's Clubs,
The National League on Urban con
ditions among Negroes,
The National Association of Teach
ers in Colored Schools,
The National Negro Press Associa-
ton,
The bishops and other officers Of
colored religious denominations,
State Medican Associations,
Annual Church Conferences and AS
sociations,
Secret society organizations,
Colored insurance companies,
Farmers Conferences,
Farmers improvement Societies,
Churches, schools, and other local
organizations,
State health officers.
In Alabama, Louisiana, North Caro-
lima and other states special Health
Days have at one time or another
been observed. For some years the
Virginia Organization Society, under
the leadership of Major r. R. Mo.
ton, has observed a Health or Clean
up Week. 1t is thought to be well
to unite all these efforts into a Ma
tional Movement and join the move
ment on to the Virginia effort.
1t is thought the race will welcome
this opportunity to unite all these eff
forts in n great National Health
Movement, and thus gain the benefit
of the momentum and the enthusi
asm that will come from the great
united Health Movement.
Without Health and until we reduce
our high death rate it will be impossi.
BILE for us to have permanent success
in business, in property getting, in
acquiring education, or to show other
| evidences of progress. WITHOUT
HEALTH AND LONG LIFE ALL
ELSE FAILS!
The following facts will illustrate
something of the need and importance
Of this health movement:
100000 Negroes in the South alone
are seriously i'll all the time; the an
nual cost of the sickness of these 450,
900 Negroes is SIS, 900, 900.
10000 Negro workers in the Soutl
alone are sick all the time; their an
nual loss in earnings is $45, 000, 900
As per cent of he annual deaths
among Negroes are ~preventable.
225,000 Negroes of the workin,
class die annually; 100000 of thes
deaths can he prevented.
The annual funeral expenses of Ne
groes in the South alone are SIS
OOO, 900, $6,5O0,OOO of this amour
could be saved.
Sickness and death cost Negroes O
the South alone, 800, 100000; $50
100000 of this amount could be saved
We must reduce our high deaf
rate, dethrone disease and enthron
health and long life. We may diffe
on othr subjects, but there is no roor
for differences here. Let us make
strong, long, united pull together.
Other facts will appear in the weel
ly press and in circulars from wee.
to week, and information will be GLAD
ly furnished.

The Association has been open
three months last Sunday. In the
Praise and Thanksgiving service the
Executive Secretary called the mem
bers' attention to the number of bless
ings that have come to the Associa-
ton during the past three months or
since the opening of the building. I
Among the causes for Thanksgiving
were: the enrolling of over 400 men,
bers with the second largest boys de-
partment in the country, the loyalty
shown by this membership, the
changed life Of a large number of
men and a greater number of boys;
there having been twenty-five men
who have made decisions for Christ
in the Sunday meetings; the large
number of men in the dormitory, the
fine patronage that has ONE to the
cafeteria.
So impressed with the testimonials
given by the men for Christ who took
part in the meeting two young men
confessed Jesus as their Lord and
Saviour. A strong address will be
given next Sunday. All men feel well
come at these meetings.

This time the night riders are ter
rorizing the Negroes down in New
Madrid county, not because of any
lawlessness upon part of our people
but because they are thought to be
too prosperous and too law-abiding.
The average poor white man just can't
stand to see a Negro make any real
Roadway. He likes the trucking, jim
o black man but he cannot bear
the ambitious, thrifty, self-respecting
Negro.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-02-27

The worst part of it all is that our
people do not learn from all these
sufferings the lesson of unity and race
loyalty. Cheap white concerns are
~patronized rather than struggling en-
terprises of u own people until the
white concern is strong enough to
close its doors against our trade, then
the support is diverted to build up
another enterprise of the same ind.
A good illustration OF this may be had
by watching the trade at the white
drug store across the, way from the
Negro drug store. How poor and
weak is the Negro, shorn OF this last
yestigae Of self-respect.

GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
Low, Heavy Soils Make Industry Pre-
carious-Much of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loam.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry success is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain focks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
Is damp AMI cold the greater part Of
the year.
The success of many poultryman
is not always so much due to his feed
and care as the warm, dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look well to the ground
you buy. If it ID not Ideal poultry
ground IN soil, drainage and location,
you can scarcely make 1t that except
at cost that eats up the profits fast.

APPLE CROP BROKE RECORDS
Estimated Production for 1914 Placed
at 259,0O0,ooo Bushels-Largest
!; l-s~, Ever Raised.

The apple crop of 1914 is probably
the largest ever produced in the
United States, being estimated at 1885,.
100000 bushels, as compared with 145,-
100000 bushels in 1918; about 235,0O0.-
900 bushels in 1912; 214,00o,000 in
1911; 142,OO0,0O0 in 1910, and 146,000,-
900 in 1909, as reported by the census.
These figures represent the total "ag-
riculturap crop and should not be
confused with figures representing es-
Inmates of the "commercia" crop,
which comprises only the marketed
portion of the total production.
In 1913 the commercial crop was es.
timated at 10 per cent Of the total ag-
ricultural production. The census re-
port of 146,000,000 bushels in 1909 is
the basis Of yearly estimates Of total
production, being used in connection
with crop reporters estimates Of per-
centage Of q full crop produced each
year.

cultural College)
Seeds with high vitality possess
Gse power of terminating quickly and
oe producing healthy, vigorous plants
Seeds with Glow vitality" sprout SLOW
ly and produce weak and spindling
plants. The chief influences affecting
seed vitality are as follows:
i. Age-Vitality of seeds decrease
with age.
2. Matufity-Althgugh seeds WITH
germdnate when not fully mature, the
rxants produced are weaker than
tAose from. fully 1natured seeds.
3. Sase-Earge and heavy seeds
have a greater terminating power and
produce plants with more vigor than
small seeds
4. Percentage-s'eed should come
from plants whose pedigree is known
to be good. Strains that are run out
produce seeds of weak vitality.
5. Methods of Curing and Preser-
vation-Seeds cured and stored in a
very moist atmosphere lose their vi.
tality quite rapidly. Seeds should be
stored in a cry, eool place
6. Variety--Similar storage condi-
tions do not affect all sorts OF seeds
the same. Vitality is variety char

sILo is QUITE ECONOMICAL
Preserves Paiatabiity and SuecuIence
of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build a silo. Here they are:
The silo preserves the palatability
and succulence Of the green corn
plant.
The silo increases the live stock ca
pacity of the farm.
Silage is a good summer feed when
pastures are short.
Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo it
is an economical means Of storing
forage.
The silo located near the feed man
ger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand in stormy as we'll as
fair weather.
The silo assists in reducing the cost
of grains in fattenlng cattle and sheep
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost of production.
There are no stalks to bother in
the manure when corn is put into silo.
All should understand that silage
is not a complete or balanced ration.
It is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

OF woodland, or on a hillside. If the
hillside be chosen and the hill be OF
considerable height, it is we'll to have
the apiary located about half way up
Bees may be successfully kept in
houses having entrances through the
sides of the building. Bees may also
be kept upon roofs of high buildings.
Several experiments with hive
stands at varying heights have proved
that low stand is preferable. If the
hives are eight, ten or twelve inches
above the ground the heavily laden
bees returning from the field will
often drop to the ground before reach
ing the entrance, losing considerable
time, if they gain the entrance at all.
IL hives are on rather high stands it is
well to have a sloping entrance reach
ing nearly to the ground. The hives
may be arranged separately or In
pairs. We are using low stand con-
tanning two hives with about eight or
ten inches between. Many of the bet.
ter beekeepers are keeping bees after
this method and several have the
stands single with from five to ten feet
between.
The hives should all face in the
game direction, and between the rows
there should be sufficient room for
the bees to rise up out of the way of
the operator.
The hive should be placed on stand
nearly level from side to side, with a
very slight tilt forward to allow water
to run out in case of a beating rain.

The grass should be kept short around
the hive so that the bees may have
free access to the entrance.
AS in the case of the site for the
hives, every step of bee culture should
be carefully studied. Don't go too
fast. First, "be sure you are right,
then go ahead"
DR.. E. F. Phillips of the United
States department of agriculture says
that it is a conservative estimate to
claim that the honey bee does more
good to agriculture in its Office as a
cross-pollinator than it does as a
honey gatherer. Many orchardists
realize this, and keep bees solely for
the benefits derived from cross-fertili-
zation of the fruit blossoms.
