Handicapped by Racial Prejudice

Mr.. A. l.. jackson. himself a neg
70, takes up the cudgels for his race
in the February Forum. He says:
LAS with the Indian, so ii has been
with the Negro. In most every field
of endeavor his demonstrations of "a
bility and fitness have had to be on a
racial basis. He has had no other
choice. Therefore many achieve
ments by Negro men and women
have been to him not 50 much ac-
complishments of talented indiVidu-
ais. but racial accomplishments
refuting the constantly repeated
assertion of pre- ordained inferiority.
For generations the Negro has
been looked upon as a predestined
tiller of the soil. Any effort to break
down this notion was frowned upon.
So he titled the soil in an effort to
satisfy ignorant and unscientific
overseers and plantation owners un-
til the day came when, following the
advice of wiser men. he began ac-
curing his own land. Today more
than 100000 Negroes are owners of
their own farms; 612964 are renters
or share troopers looking forward to
the day when they will be owners:
1892 .S92.21S worth Of farm-bulding
stock and equipment are owned by
these tillers of the SOIL

Stunned Dyed Cloth.

John Woolman, the American
Quaker, piilanthropist and autnor'
refused to wear any clothing tnat
had been dyed. He carried MS
scruples so far that he wore nat
that was of the natural color of the
fur thereby presenting, as one OF ms
biographies remarks, the aspect OF
sort of Robinson Crusoe.
One of Woolman's objections 10
dyes was that they concealed dirt.
Travelling often in wet weather
through narrow streets, he was fire.
ouently distressed by various impurl-
ties-especially when his Journeys
took him to places where cloth mad

he had to walk over grounds where
much OF their dyestuffs had drained
away" This produced in his mind
great longing that people might
come into cleanness of spirit, clean
ness of person, and cleanness about
their houses and garments"
AS a further reason against dyes,
he argued that the spirit that would
hide dirt leads TO the concealment OF
anything that may be materially or
morally disagreeable, and is there
fore contrary TO sincerity. He con-
tended that if the money spent on
dyeing were devoted TO the promo
ton of cleanliness much good in
every way would result anchester

Shells Very Old

sea shells about six inches across

at Big Eddy. near the Dalles, Ore,
lying at the heads Of Indian skele-

Plenty Of Evidence to Show Value Of
TESTING Cows

There is plenty OF evidence on file
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture to convince any one Of
the value OF COW testing associations
as a means OF developing profitable
dairy herds. In all these associations
records are kept Of the amount of
milk produced and feed consumed
by each COW, and with this Informa-
ton the members Of the association
are able to weed out the poor pro-
ducers OF the herd to make room for
the .ileifer calves Of the COWS that
give the largest production Of milk
and butterfat. This practice, togeth-
er with the use Of purebred bulls. is
the best and surest WAY OF building
up the dairy herd, say dairy special
lists Of the department.
The Grove City, Pa, Cow Testing
Association has developed some high
producers by this method, and is an
illustration Of what it is possible for
such an organization to do. In one
month recently there were IS cows
in the Grove CITY association that
produced more than so pounds Of
butterfat each. OF this number IT,
produced more than 40 pounds.
Most Of the animals that produced
larger amount were three years OF
age or over, but there were seven
cows under three years that produc-
ed more than 40 pounds. The high
est WELD was IS. f. pounds Of butter
fat, which was made by J-year-old
Holstein The highest yield made by
an animal under > years was '6
pounds. produced by a 2-Near-old
