viii Teach Native Africans
Modern Farming.

Chicago, April 21.-Purchase of l.
600 acres of farm land in Portuguese
West Africa for demonstration farm
and trades school for African Negroes
on the model of Hampton and Tus-
kegee Institutes has been made by the
Board of Foreign Missions of the Me-
thodist Episcopal church. 1t was an
nounced here by the church's com
mittee on conservation and advance.
The high cost of living in Africa
since the war has caused real hard
ship to the native population, mission
aries report. Cotton cloth and iron
hoes cost five times more than in
1914 Before the war, plantation
hands wore three or four yards of
cloth around them, now only a half
a yard is used and many natives wear
only the skin of some bush cat or
gaZelle.
A brewing plant situated on the
tract and operated by water power
will be converted by the Methodists
into sugar mill.
Establishment of the farm and
trades school forms part of a plan to
raise the economic status of the Afri-
can natives. which investigation found
to be necessary for successful mission
work on a large scale among them,
says the announcement.
The property was acquired in ac-
cordance with the Methodist Episco-
pal centenary program for Africa,
which calls in Central Africa, one for
each Methodist mission conference
there.
Purchase of the tract at Quessua
in Portuguese West Africa brings the
total acreage acquired by the Metho-
dists in Africa above $4,000 acres, at
nine different points widely separated.
Among trades to be taught In ad-
dition to farming. animal husbandry
and horticulture will be carpentry,
brick making, masonry, broom making
and furniture making. Agricultural
experts have been sent out and a civic
engineer sailed recently to direct con-
struction and Industrial training.
Superintendent of the mission at
Quessua where the work will be
started is the Rev, Bassett Kipp be
Onago, Ill. His wife Mrs. Lettie Mas
on Kipp, is from Lowell, Mass. Four
other American women are training e
