Under the direction OF the bureau
of negro economics with DR.. George
e. Haynes as DIRECTORY co-opertive
committees of whites and negroes
have been formed in seven states and
five others are taking up the work.

Among the circumstances disclos-

the fact that the exodus of negro work

United States Department of AgrieuI-

Cooperate in Purchase of Va
rioUs Farm Outfits.

Work which is generally done in
some part of the country with the aid
Of machines that greatly increase the
efficiency of the man employed is still
largely done by hand in other parts.
Machinery for the most of the work in
connection with preparing and filling
the soil is available in many sizes, and
frequently two or more outfits, each
requiring the time of one man, are
seen working in the same field on op-
erationS for which implements OF two
or three times the size Of those used
could be employed with just as salts
factory results. There are few farm
horses which a driver of ordinary in
teIligence cannot train to work in
large teams in a few days time, and
most OF the larger implements are lit
tie if any more complicated or diff
cult to handle than the small ones for
the same work.
Machinery Profitable

not possible to procure sufficient labor,

sometimes the gain is considerably
more than that. If the nature Of the

Body of Water in Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
of Travellers.

Cold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
OF central Africa. The traveller in
Africa finds the mystery Of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath-
enable here than In the battling mazes
of the jungle or in the silent smile Of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering condolences
It stretches on and on, measuring its
miles OF surface in sweeping wave
lengths
AS far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses
Here and there the line of the gray ex-
panse is broken by slender islands
bearing up a few round-topped native
huts, outlined dimly against the sky
line The effect is that Of q painting
seen through gray glasses. reducing
the whole TO a low key. II is in the
grayneSs that the lakes effect Of mys-
terry lies, the grayness that hoyers
dull and cherries over waving reeds
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thrill

is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispel the feeling Of entering
the most shut-of place in central
