Negro Dairy Man
Wins Honors

Were it not for the colored
newspapers we would seldom
know the honor that man,
of our colored folk are receiv-
ing in the various industries
in this state and in this coun.
try. At the recent milk test
held in Des Moines for the
state of Iowa Julian O. Win
ston, Negro dairyman resid
ing near Ottumwa received
the highest from his milk.
The manner of testing milk
comes about in this way. The
state dairymen officials collect
two bottles from the dairy
man without acknowledging
the fact or telling them, and
they deliver these bottles of
milk to Des Moines, where
they hold their annual test.
And this year Julian Winstons
milk won the first prize. Mr..
Winston moved to Ottumwa
low a. from Charlottesville. Va
ten years ago and bought a
farm of $50 acres. Two years
ago he entered the dairy bus
mess, known as the Willow
Springs dairy. At first he had
twenty five head ..of cows.
When he first started the peo
pie of Ottumwa tried to down
him because of his color, but
his milk being superior, it won
it's way. and today he cannot
supply his demands, although
he is constantly increasing his

THE NEGRO EXODUS TO

Mr.. Lipscombe Writes on the
Attitude of the South.

To the Editor of the Rich

In your editorial of Deem
ber you stated that the white
people were appealing to the
Negro leaders TO assist them
in stopping the Negro exodus
from the Southland to the
North. 1t seems to me the
white people are appealing to
the wrong source. They
should appeal to those who
have created and are creating
such an intolerable condition
that makes it impossible for
the Negro to live in peace a
imong them.

Negroes who have recently
come from the Southland with
the specific purpose of ascer-

the same. viz; that they are
