BACK BAD TODAY?

Backache is usually kidney-ache
and makes You dull, nervous and
tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills fol
weak kldneys-the remedy recon-
mended by your friends and neigh
bors. Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. J. O'Keefe, 514 Houmas
street, Donaldsonville, says: "My
back caused me much distress. When
| did any sweeping, my back hurt me
SO MUCH that every time | moved a
sharp pain went through me. My
kidneys didn't act right and | felt
miserable and run down. I began
to use Doan's Kidney Pills and they
brought me great relief and soon
this particular attack had disappear

had the least sign of this complaint,
few Of Doan's Kidney Pills have
given the same fine results. This

New Breed of Poultry Developed
by Uncle Sam.

Lamena is the name given to a
new breed of poultry that has been
developed at the experimental farm
of the United States department of
agriculture at Beltsville, Nd. 1t has
been named by Secretary Wallace
after the originator, Harry NJ. La
mon, senior poultryman of the bureau
of animal industry. 1t is a white
fowl with red ear lobes that lays a
white-shelled egg. White Plymouth
Rock, Silver Gray Dorking, and White
Leghorn were the breeds used as
foundation stock. The fowls are
larger than Leghorns, with long,
deep bodies, we'll feathered, and
comb and wattles of medium size.
The new breed is not ready for in
PRODUCTION and neither eggs or fowls
can be secured. When a sufficient
stock of birds has been raised speci-
mems will be sent to state agricul-
tural colleges and experiment sta
tics to test their adaptability to diff
ferent sections and conditions.

Educational Plans in North Carolina

The state department of educa-
ton in North Carolina has created
a division of negro education with
an enlarged staff Of white and
colored assistants. Mr.. Newbold,
who has had charge of negro rural
schools in the state for years, will
have charge of the division. His
work has already attracted notice
outside of his state, and has long had
the confidence and support of both
races in North Carolina.
The new plans put increased en-
phasis on teacher training. Teach
ers will be prepared at the three
state normal schools and the state
college for negroes, at eight OF ten
private and church schools which have
asked for state cooperation and
oversight, at twenty-one county
training schools, to which four will
be added next year, and at three or
four state high schools. .Six-weeks'
summer schools are also being held,
and winter study-groups will be pro-
vided for during the school year.
The establishment of city high schools
will : be Systematically promoted.
Close state oversight of all schools
from the graded schools up, is
planned, that the work may be STAN
dartlized throughout the state.
Thirty seven new Rosenwald
schools have been completed and
paid for during the year, and eighty
one are under construction. County
superintendent in twenty-five coun-
ties are arranging for sixty-six more
of these schools next year, the coun-
ty school boards having made the
necessary appropriations. Forty-five
counties have Jeanes industrial su-
pervisors, and five more will have
item next fall.
TO finance the work of the new
division of negro education the state
appropriates S635,00O, the Rosen-
wald fund $4,000, the general edu-
cation board 1000, the Jeanes and
Slator funds $4,000 each. In ad-
dition are the large sums given by
counties for Jeanes supervisors,
county training schools, Rosenwald
etc.
The state department of health is
in close cooperation with the di-
and standards of education
and living are rising among the
colored population in way that
speaks we'll for the negroes response
to broadening opportunities, and
forecasts increasing prosperity for
both races throughout the state.

Why Build a Sweet Potato Storage
House ?


NJ. Hull. sweet potato specialist in
the State University Extension Di-
vision gives several good reasons why
every farmer who grows sweet pota-
toes should have storage house.
Here they are:
l. The storage house will keep the
potatoes at minimum of loss from
rot.
2. The curing process improves the
favor of the potatoes and makes
them more salable.
8. The expense and labor Of MAX
ing the dirt banks each year is done
away with.
4. The house can be entered and
the potatoes removed during wet or
cold weather. This is not practicable
with dirt banks.
5. The house can be used for the
storage of Irish potatoes and other
farm produce after the removal of
the sweet potatoes
6. Sweet potatoes produce three
times the feed value per acre of corn.
Cribs are built to store corn. Why
not house to store sweet potatoes?
z. The storage house increases the
livestock capacity Of the farm,
s. Sweet potatoes are relished by
all classes of livestock. A storage
house will enable you to feed them
the year round.
8. Sweet potatoes reduce the cost
Of production of milk and pork. A
storage house, enables you to feed
10. The storage house is simple
and economical of construction and
operation. Any farmer who is handy
with a saw and hammer can build
one.
