BENEFICIAL TO
THE NEGRO RACE
FIELD SECRETARY OF SOCIETY FOR ADVANCEMENT OF
CoLORED PEOPLE TELLS OF IMPROVED
CONDITIONS.

CAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-The war
> has had many results that will be
found beneficial to the American Ne
groes. according to James Weldon
Johnson, field secretary of the Ma
tionoI Association for the Advance
ment of the Colored People, who eX-
plained the work that this organlZa-
tion is doing to advance the interests
of Negroes in the United States, in an
address in this city recently.
The war has not only served as an
occasion for another demonstration OF
the Negroes loyalty to the ohiteu
states. he said but it has been instru-
mental in bringing to light many other
facts regarding the Negro race that
would otherwise have doubtless re-
mained unknown.
Speaking of the nature OF the WORN
that is being done by the National AS
sociation for the Advancement OF the
Colored People, which has several nun
dred branches throughout the country
and 100000 members, he said that this
organization is taking an active part In
defending in the courts the constitu-
tionol rights of the Negro people. Inc
most important victory that has peeh
won in this regard, he said, was the
unanimous decision. of the united
States Supreme Court to the erect
that segregation ordinances that nave
recently been passed in several South
ern cities, whereby Negro and white
people were not allowed to live IN the
same block, are unconstitutional. Ihis
decision, he said, marks the turning
point in a long line of decisions that
have affected the Negro race, ana VIII
have far-reaching results wherever
Negro people live throughout the coun-
try. -, l.,

CONVENTIONS FOR

New Orleans, La.-TwO conventions
have been held here recently, each hav-
ing for its object the furtherance of
the welfare and the Improvement OF
conditions of the Negro in the South.
One of these meetings was made up OF
representative white men of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. This is the Wei
fare League of Mississippi. The other
embraced Negro leaders, about equally
divided between North and South, who
organized themselves at their meeting
into the Lincoln League.
Both these organizations went on
record as holding the same views of
changes necessary in existing condi-
tiOns for the betterment of the Negro,
such as improved opportunities for
education; better comforts on trans
portation lines where the Negroes are

Georgia has already begun. This is
only one of a number of steps taken
by the federation in its efforts to aid
the Negro. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, Lynching substitutes the
violent passions of the mob for the
orderly processes of the courts of JUS
tice, thus creating in the minds of our
people disrespect for all law; and,
Whereas, The fair name of our
state has been grievously injured and
its development retarded by the pub
lication abroad of lynching statistics
which misrepresent the overwhelming
majority of our law-abiding and peace
loving citizens; and,
"Whereas, 1t is in the power of the
enlightened women of the state to Gre

and against the continued blight of
mob violence; therefore be it
"Resolved, That the executive board
of the Georgia Federation of Women's

condemnation of lynching as a means
of furnishing crime of any name or

AN ECONOMIC DRAW
BACK
TT HERE is great deal said about

" HERE is a great deal said about
attracting sturdy western peO-
pie to the untenanted acres of
the South but we defeat our own pur-
poses when we sanction contempt of
law and resorts to violence. The
Western people have quite Il different
idea of what is good citizenship and
they seriously doubt the wisdom of
settling in a land where the laws are
flouted and no one is brought to pun
ishment for so doing. They cannot
understand that life and property as
general thing, are as safe with us as
in any other part of the country. They
judge by what they read in the pa
pers and, so judging, decline the pro-
posals to move into the South.
Thus it is that lynching does us in
calcuable harm on the economic side.
1t hurts also since it is interpreted as
the evidence of low state of civilian
ton. The few who are lawless have
the power to cast discredit upon the
whole southern people.
Inc way TO escape is through the
creation and establishment of sound
public opinion. The thing is possible,
as we see exemplified In Virginia Let
self-respecting people speak out
against this sort of crime let grand
juries indict and the courts try and
convict the law breakers, no longer
making excuses but recognizing that
lynching is an unmitigated evil and
must be blOtted out.-Journal, Mont

DEMOCRAT FLAYS PRESENT
POLICY OF DEPARTMENTS
TN SHARP ATTACK UPON HIS OWN PARTY SENATOR KING
CHARGES CONTINUAL WASTE-HINTS ILLEGAL
EXPENDITURES.

wv 7ASHINGTON, July 15.-One of
w the sharpest attacks which has
vet been made in Congress upon the
policy of the executive departments
and bureaus to keep as many persons
ON the government pay roll at the eX-
nense 4',e taxpayers as possible was
made by Senator Nag of Utah, one of
the Democratic Leaders. Senator
Kings statements bore out much that
has been said with respect to the ex-
travagant insistence of officials to EN-
ploy practically as many people as
.ney en,..s,rsruyed while the war was on.
Senator King declared some of the
heads of bureaus ought to be investi-
gated and perhaps suit ought to be in
stituted against them to recover ex-
penditures Illegally made.
More Than Required.
"When our country entered the war
of course it became necessary to in
crease the number of employees" said
Senator King. "The result was that
tens of thousands came TO Washing
ton, many more, in my opinion, than
We're needed. 1t has seemed to me
that there is predeterminatiOn upon
the part of departments, bureaus and
governmental agencies to keep in
Washington and in the service of the
government all those who We're brought
here for an emergency. Instead of
there being an attempt to separate
some of these individuals from the
rolls there seems to be a determine
tion to keep them upon the rolls as
employees of the government. Only
few thousand have been discharged
from the various departments and in
many of the departments and bureaus
there are more people employed now
than there were at any time during
the period of the war.
Continue to Spend.
Instead of endeavoring to reduce
expenses and practice economy many
of these executive agencies are evinc-
ing purpose to continue upon war
basis and expend the same or larger
sums than the necessities of the war
called for. Reductions will only come
when Congress enacts appropriate leg
islation and refuses to make the ap-
preparations demanded by such agen-
cies and departments. AS long as the
appeals and demands of bureaus anu
departments and agencies and mstru-
mentalities are controlling, this vast
army of employees in Washington ana
throughout the country will be con-
tinued. 1 venture the opinion that eN-
cry department and exery execu-
tive agency represented here in
Washington has submitted man!
reasons for continuing the war
agencies and war machinery ana war
appropriations There are outcries anu
walls of despair when Congress at
tempts economies and threatens TO res
duce the number of employees or the
compensation which was based upon
war conditions"

CORN AND SUNFOwERS
IN THE SlLO FOR DAIRY
:. NJ. Reed in Field and Farm


-Four years ago We put corn and
suntiowers into the silo and the fol-
lowing winter We fed the silage To
our dairy herd. The result was in
teresting and important. The cows
ate the silage with more relish than
they did the straight corn silage.
with an increase in the milk flow and
a marked change in the color of the
milk. II became quite yellow, resem-
bling the color of milk of cows upon
June pastures. 1t also remained the
same color during the entire time the
silage was fed.
The crop was planted Just as ordi-
nary silage corn. The seed was COM
posed of equal parts of sunfiower and
silage corn seed. The seed was put
in with n corn planter and the field
was cultivatd just as a field of corn
would be. About the first of Sept
ember the sunfiowers began to open
and week later the entire field look
ed like mammoth flower garden.
The crop was allowed to stand until
the 10th of October, when nearly all
the sunilowers We're ripe. The corn
and sunfower1 were cut with a corn
harvester, shredded and put into the
'ilo. all parts of the sunfower plant
we're put in--stalk. leaves and head.
Many of the stalks were an inch and
= half in diameter at the base and
from seven to nine feet tall.
The silage was fed just as corn
siiage, although less was required OF
the combined silage than that of the
pure corn. Sunfower seed is rich in
oil and is very filing seed. Many
people watched the cows eat the sill.
age and Were astonished to see them
consume all of the stalk, for the butt.
of the stalks looked rather coarse and
hard. However, these pieces Of
the stalk were well soaked with tn.
juice of the silage and the cows con
sumed every particle of it with relish
We have tried the experiment fou
different years and each time we hav,
obtained similar results.
We find no fault with the systen
and realize many advantages ans
good points. Sunfiowers yield abou
three times as much to the acre a
corn. This alone helps US to a grea
extent, especially in a year like thi
which is unfavorable for a good Gro,
of corn. Sunfowers are hardie,
plants and are much easier grown
They also mature earlier than corn
and hence, if the crop is injured b,
an early frost it will not be a tota
loss. Sunflowers are able to with
stand frost much better than corn
II it is impossible because of weathe,
or labor conditions to fill the silo be
fore frost, the sunfowers do not dr.,
up and break into fine pieces as cor,
docs when that crop is frosted.

FEEDING VALUE OF STRAW

Field and FARM
The feeding value of straw varies
so much with the manner in which it
is fed and the kind of live stock that
ehews it that it is difficult to name a
definite price that any one can afford
to pay for it. Straw contains a high
percentage of crude fiber and should
not be fed in any large quantity where
any great gain or hard work is ex-
pected. Horses at hard work or cows
giving much milk cannot profitably
use much straw, as the energy neces-
sary in mastication and digestion are
too nearly equal to the amount of
nourishment received. Such stock
that is being wintered over can use a
large proportion of straw in their
ration, but even then it should be
supplemented with a small amount
|of grain and silage or other succulent
feed. Il Is much better Il run thru
u Ted cutter or IN ordinary silage

PREPARE TO FIGHT IF LEAGUE

Former Economic Director for Allies
Tells Students at Stanford lnas
Peace Treaties Need Covenant

Palo Alto, California, Oct 2:-"H
the League of Nations is to break
down, we must at once prepare to
fight Herbert Hoover, former
economic director for the supreme
war council told the students Of the
Stanford University in an address
here tonight.
"The peace treaties" he said Can
not be carried out with out the league
II the league fails, the treaties also
fall. II the balance of power is to
supplant the league of nations, we will
have torn asunder the only hope that
Europe will not break into further
wars of races, classes and combina-
tons that will take civilization back
to the middle ages.
81 am confident that if we attempt
to revise the treaty we will tread .
road thru European chaos If we at
tempt to keep our soldiers out of il,
We will not escape fearful economic
losses.
-The allies may themselves revise
this treaty without US and then as
semble a council of nations Of their
svn in m endeavor to solve the prob
lens of Europe. 1t would be a coun-
eil Of Europe, and in the midst Of
these terrible times, considering the
debts they owe US, the material they
must have from US or starve, would
rather that we be represented therin
less it become a league of Europe
against the western hemisphere. A
peace without us, means more army
and navy for US the old treadmill Of
taxes and danger.
Pointing out the likelihood that
some European nations will again be
plunged into war with their neighbors,
Mr.. Hoover referred to a probability
of the invasion of Poland if the treaty
failed.
