The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-18

Washington devised a plan to call the
Negro farmers of Alabama, Georgia
and other states together once a year
for a conference. This conference had
been so f%ar-reaching in usefulness that
before his death he had planned the
program for the farmers confer
ence" of 1916.
Wednesday, January 10, was confer
ence day, and there were farmers
from all over the southern states. and
many from the North and West. Ne
groes who owned their land, and who
had been successful, and others who
wanted the experience lessons in order
for greater success for their own eff
forts, writes Mrs. j. B. Reid in the Bir-
mingham (Ala.) Age-Herald.
The crowd was tremendous. 1t was
estimated that there were as many as
three thousand Negroes present at din
ner on the lawn, where a barbecue had
been arranged. and a bountiful dinner
served in picnic style. 1t vas a won
derful sight to behold, and the portion
of the grounds designated for hitch
ing places looked like the scenes on
the old-time camp-meeting grounds.
There were many white people in at
tendance, men and women; in fact, it
was a tremendous demonstration of in
terest in the best methods of farming
and home improvement. There were
many speakers from among the Ne
groes telling of practical experiences
and of experiments. The boil weevil
seems to be the most formidable en-
envy in every section, and he is usu-
ally the conqueror. Nothing said or
tried seemed to destroy his appear
ance. Each farmer starting out as II
he had the remedy, but the final re-
suit only proved there is but one way
from the destructive power, and that
was raise a diversified crop, have

The Negro is a natural farmer. He
loves the soil and the sunshine-and
that they are buying homes and using
modern methods is an assurance that
they are beginning to be more thrifty
and are being benefited by the encour
agement and training they have been
given.
had a keen desire to spend a few
days in Alabama's most wonderful
workshop. and this was an opportu

their white friends for the conference

ments, expenditures, insurance, loss
and profit. etc. Thus every arithmetic
class knows the detail business of the
school for that year. AS the lesson is
local, there is more interest in the
study.
These figures can be obtained for
every day of the year now-for In
stance, l have before me today tho re-
port for January Is, 1916. This report
is placed on the desk of John H. Wash
ington. director of industries, and fur
nishes some interesting facts Is re-
CARDS the detail management of the de-
partment, upon which depends the sup
plies for the table, and buildings and
financial success of the institution.
There we're 1891 pounds of coal used
in "a hours at a cost of 1921 a ton.
On January Is there were 9,S25 gal
Ions of milk, containing So per cent
fat, MIXED and 10 gallons bought ex-
ira from farmers. A milk wagon
twice a day supplies many families in
! Tuskegee, and there is also a bread
and vegetable wagon operated each
day from the bakery and garden.
Bought from farmers same day, 20
gallons of skim milk and 10 gallons Of
cream.
Churned 200 pounds of cream, test
80 per cen fat; made rs pounds u
ter.
Number of dairy cattle on hand, 1872;
amount of feed used for the day, $50
pounds of cottonseed meal, 20 pounds
of oats, % pounds bran, 700 pounds Of
bulls. 700 pounds hay, 1900 pounds
silage.
In the poultry yards there are $50
hens and 81 cocks; 20 dozen eggs laid
that day.
This is only to give an idea Of the
details and careful attention given
each department each day; as each
department submits an accurate re-
port daily. Another feature of the in
dustry, the institute buys from farm
ers, white and colored, their surplus,
and thus furnishes to them a market
and encourages other industry. A
cannery for the preservation of their
own products is operated, and other
growers are encouraged to plant and
cultivate a bountiful supply by an
arrangement to use the cannery on
shares. Every boy or girl near by can
make their extra dimes by supplying
this market with berries in season, to
be preserved for winter. Much canned
stuff, with the Tuskegee institute
brand, is shipped each year.

since it began, innumerable tales have
been told Of the escapades OF Frank
Smith in the country around Union
