TUSKEGEE'S EFFORTS
BRING RESULTS.

Tusl1egee Institute, Alabama, Nov.
lO.-The efforts of DIR. r. r. Motion,
Principal, Tuskegee Institute for edu-
cational, economic and general rural
betterment of the Negro are being
evidenced in many essential move-
ments These endeavors are largely a
basis, not only of study, but for gem
eral rural development. They are in
teresting thousands of Negroes, es-
pecially in the agricultural regions of
the South, in methods of better agri-
culture.
DR.. Motion, through the agencies of
'Tuskegee and other activities for the
uplift of his race, and better under
standing between the races, is aiding
the rural Negro to cooperate with
the better element of white people for
safe farming and cooperation for
human progress.

ment, field agent for the United
States department of agriculture, with
headquarters at Tuskegee institute,

resulted in splendid campaign for
better rural conditions to be launched
throughout the South.
Direct results of these plans are
shown in the Improvement of agri
culture, home life, schools self help
among Negroes which reveal practical
demonstrations of safe leadership and
progress.
Recent agricultural fairs held at
Tuskegee Institute, and throughout
Alabama and the South, reveal con-
structive strides of Negro farmers in
all branches of farm life. This is
fairs; the cooperation of Negro local
agents, home economics workers, Smith
Hughes agricultural teachers, Jeanes
supervisors, preachers and teachers
and Negro schools in the territories
where fairs are held, and the sub
stantial encouragement of the white
school authorities and business people.
At each fair there was revealed a
spirit Of working together for bet
terment of community, state and coun-
try.
Dr. Motion is advocating principles
for rural betterment emphasizes abso-
