NEGRO EXTENSION WORK
SHOWS STEADY PROGR

Steady progress has been made in
the improvement of farm production
and living conditions among Negroes

agricultural colleges, as provided for
by the Smith-Leyer Act. AS result
of the extension work, negro farm
ers are growing more profitable crops,
acquiring good live stock, starting
orchards and pastures, and building
better homes, while Negro farm wo-
men through special training i'll
housekeeping, food preparation, the
making and care of clothing, nursing
the sick. improving sanitary condi-
tions, and beautifying their sur
roundings, are materially improving
conditions in their homes.
Since the beginning of extension
work in 1904 southern Negroes have
participated to a large degree in the
benefits resulting from the activities
of white demonstration agents sup
plemented later by the agents oi

WARNS Of HARD

Army's Industrial Homes Jam

Thousands Out of Jobs.
BY FRANK w. GETTY,
Irterna tioual News Service.

NEW YORK, July 3o.-The wolf at
the door Ia going to be fiercer this
winter than for the past twenty-five
years. The Salvation Army is max
ing unprecedented plans to relieve
suffering and distress among the
poor.
But the margin Of safety will be
small, Evangeline Booth. head OF the
army's forces in America. declared
today. All indications are that the
coming winter will be the worst in
a quarter of century. There are
going to be two principal difficulties
lack of housing and employment.
Poverty i'm Summer.
The army bases it's assumption that

Whereas In previous years the army's
Industrial homes have always been
half empty in the summer time, they
are liam full" now, and more people
are trying to get in. And those that
are in are going to stay-no taking
chances on a shelter when the snow
begins to fall.
Then there's the question OF unem-
ployment with the army secretaries

to the Salvation Army for better po-
sitions. One man who had been max
ing $4,000 a year applied to the New
York headquarters and they got him
a job he was grateful to take at $12
a week.
Jobs Much Scarcer.
Applications for work are 20 per
cent greater than last year. Jobs are
becoming scarcer and scarcer. What
the army plans to do Is start a COM

view of placing some of the needy
before winter sets in.

Buildings Needed.

needs them badly, and at once. Miss
Booth says. Throughout the country
