PRRsHING ON THE NEGRO SOL.
DER.

(Southern Publicity Committee)
Washington. d. c.. May 29.-Ru-
mors from overseas have perslstently
decried the efficiency of the Negro
soldier when led by Colored officers
the conduct OF division so offered
being cited as proof. These men
II is failed under fire, but their Col
pred officers had to be court-mar-
tailed for c0wardice.
Pershing's version OF this story,
given 10 the white and Colored men
who at the governments request in
vestigated 1t, should be given as
full publicity as the stories emanat-
ing from less distinguished sources.
Any officers OF any race, the COM
handing general said, might we'll
have failed in the same way under
similar circumstances. The troops
had been brought near the front to
receive several weeks of intensive
training before being put under fire
for the first time. But the Germans
broke through; and in the desperate
need these green troops were thrown
in the gap, along with every other
man available Twelve Of the Col
ored officers lost their heads, and
were afterwards contaminated,
though some OF them were acquitted
on trial. other Colored officers in
the same division were promoted for
conspicuous courage in the same bat
tie, and were awarded the Dis-tin-
guished Service Cross.
IN was also atafad AZ Amarinau
Headquarters that the morals of the
Negro soldiers, as evidenced by the
number OF charges brought against
them. were not below those of the
white troops. This is interesting in
view Of much that has been said
II deserves wide circulation, not only
in justice to men who did their duty
and risked their lives for their coun.
try, but as an antidote to those mis-.
understandings and antagonisms
which enemy propaganda seeks tC
foster in so many quarters.
It would seem that for genera
ton, at least, any tale calculated Il
make one group of American citi
zens censure or despise any othel

health told of one little boy who,
after he had been examined by the
nurse, went to the teacher in tears,
complaining that the nurse called him
names.
When the teacher expressed her
surprise, the boy sought to prove his
case by handing her the card the
nurse had given to him as her record
of the examination.
''Look at that!" he cried.
"PoOr nut" read the card.

teacher, finally sending the child away

was erected to mark the end of the
thOroughfare. The wall was built by
the city engineering department at a
cost of only 1919. Had all the mate
rails and labor been paid for at regu-
lar rates 1t would have cost about
$1,000. The saving was made possible
by using samples of brick and cement
which had been submitted to the de-
partment for tests, including the use
of "rattler" for the bricks. The
fact that the rattler nicked off the cor
ners of the brick did not detract from
their usefulness. The wall was built
largely by department employees when
other work was slack. Ii served as a
barrier between the end of the street
and ditch skirting railroad right

bridges crossing this ditch.-Popular

GOOD SEED POTATOES
FOR MORE POTATOES

The average production Of potatoes
per acre in the United States is very
much lower than in Canada, Great
Britain, and European countries out
side of Italy.
One of the reasons for the lower pro-
duction in the United States is tina.
less attention has been given to the
character of the seed. Good seed is
one Of the determining factors in the
production Of maximum crops OF po-
tatoes.
The use of high grade seed would
increase the returns from the potato
crop of the country by many millions
Of dollars.
The production Of high-grade seed
should be regarded as a special bus
mess.
Good strains Of seed may be obtain
ed by the tuber-unit, hill, or mass-se-
lection methods through the process
of roguing, out the diseased and weak
hills.
When tubers from diseased or weak
plants are planted, similar harvest
will be reaped.
Only seed from productive plants
should be used.
Careful attention should be given
to securing seed that is free from va
rietal mixture and that is true to type.
Good seed cannot be produced unless
the growing plants are given good cul-
tural attention.
As a rule the quantity of seed used
is not sufficient to produce a maxi
mum crop.
From Is to Is bushels be used per
acre instead of 9 to II, as at the pres
ent time.
All seed stock should be disinfected
before planting.
Good storage conditions are essent-
ial to insure sound, firm seed at plant
ing time
These points are discussed in de-
tail in the United States Department
OF Agriculture's Farmers Bulletin
533, Good Seed Potatoes, and How
to Produce Them" which was recently
revised and will be sent free on re
quest.
