HOME GARDEN RADIsHEs
EASILY SAVED FROM PEST

Brookings, S. D., June 3O.-With

with radishs in the home gardens OF
South Dakota, can be completely
routed, according to A. L. Ford. ex-

FARM TO FARM SURVEY
TO LOCATE BARBERRIEs

A careful farm to farm survey OF
Union, Clay, Yankton, Turner, NC
Cook, Miner, kingsbury, Hamlln,
Codington, Day and Marshall count
les is planned for this summer in
connection with the barberry Grad
ication campaign in South Dakota
The work started June II in Union
county anil will be first carried on
in the southern counties.
There are ten men making this
suryey. These men are divided into
five teams of two each Each team
is given certain townships in each
county to survey These men then
witt every farm in the area assigned
to them. They will be glad to talk
with the farmers, explaining the
ust situation and barberry eradica-
ton work
THE barberries are not native
plants of South Dakota" explains
H. C. Gilbert, extension specialist at
State college. who is in charge OF
this work. ''They will not be found
in cultivated fields or pasture lands.
In Fact they will be found only where
someone has planted them in their
groves or yards. In the case of some
old paintings of barberry the seed
lings have gone wild, the seeds hav-
ing been scattered by birds. 1t
should be remembered that the jap
anese barberries do not harbor the
black stem rust and therefore are
not harmful. The common and pur-
pie barberries do harbor the rust and
must be destroyed.
'sThe object of this survey is to
find all of the harmful barberries
and have them destroyed. Bulletins
or Information on this subject can
always be obtained from the exten-
sion service of the South Dakota
State college, Brookings"

well-to-do colored men who own
business and property, the really
most worthwhile members of their
race, are the ones most likely to De
forced to leave the community. They
may be compelled to abandon an
their property post-haste to get away
with their lives, and not being allow
ed to return, they must sell out at a
great loss. Sometimes when these
colored families are in position to
offer some defiance to the mob, the
officers of the law will take a hand
because as the law they can dare
more than the mob. A committee
Of prominent citizens sometimes
including the mayor or the chlef OF
police or the sheriff, will call on the
colored man and warn him to leave,
either openly espousing the cause of
the mob or declaring their inability
to restrain the mob.
when a colored family is thus
driven out or exterminated, promin-
emit mention is always made of their
prosperity as an indirect emphasis
ON their general offensiveness.
Rape and Lynching
cone of the most successful IL
lusions in the history of human re-
lations in the opinion that the extra
ordinary disposition to lynch negroes
in the United States is due to some
extraordinary tendency of the men
of that race to commit rape. We
call this illusion successful because
it is actually believed by many. If
not by most, white people. But facts
and evidence point in the opposite
direction-that Africans and their
descendants are exceptionally unill~
clined to this particular violence.
'The appeal has been wonderful-
ly successful. 1t is an old ruse of the
oppressor. He must find motive
that will justify him in the moral
sentiments of his people.
'sBut it should be noted that in the
United States the most awful slaugh-
ter and lynchings of colored persons
in the last few years have not been
occasioned by any matter of sex;the

against colored people has followed
the spread of this exploitation. Vt
is either due directly to efforts OF
the exploiting class to repress tho
negro, or it is the indirect resent
ment of the laborers of other racial
groups against the exploitation OF
negro labor to his disadvantage
This is the difference between Geor-
gia and East st. Louis.
Where Lynchings Occur
'It is instructive to note where
years the seven states which led il,
ylnching, are in the order of their
evil eminence: Georgia, Mississippi,
Texas, louisiana, Alabama, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee. Along with Ala
bama, Georgia and Texas, therefore,
we have the great southern Missis-
| sipi Valley, region which might be
termed the American Congo.
THE quest of this Congo is not
for rubber and ivory, but for cotton
and sugar. Here labor is forced,
and the labOrer is slave. The slav-
cry is a cunningly contrived debt
| slavery to give the appearance of
! civilization and the sanction of law
A debt of few hundred dollars may
tie black man and his family of ten
as securely in bondage to great
white planter as if he had purchased
their bodies.
sThe only way for this debt-slave
to get free from such a master is to
get some one else to pay this debt:
that is, to sell himself to another,
with added charges, expenses Of NOV
ing and bonuses. BY this method
the enslaver gets his bondmen
cheaper than in regular slave sys-
tenn, for in the debt system he does
not have to pay the full market price
of man.
''This is the system that obtains
in the great Mississippi Valley, and
it has not been modified for thirty
years or more. The evil of this sys-
TEN is responsible for all of the mas
sacres of colored people and for
nearly all of the horrible lynchings
and burnings of individual negroes
that have lately taken place in this
region.
eff we examine any, even the most
complicated, of these 'race' troubles
we will find some economic wrong
at the bottom, some trouble about
wages or work or property. Th5
existence side by side of two races
one powerful and the other weak
simply lends greater opportunity ant
freer play to human greed and socia
injustice.

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES
UNION

A searching attack on the system
of debt-slavery in the South today
as the cause of lynching and moo
violence, has just been published i'll
pamphlet form by the American Civil
Liberties Union, with 'headquarter
in New York City. The statements
and conclusions Of the author, Will
liam Pickens, field secretary of the
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People, are endorsed by the
Civil Liberties Union, which de-
clares in an Introduction that .'in
the South today no man, white or
black, is really free publicly to speak
the truth about the race problem.
We believe this pamphlet to be the
essential truth. We have consulted
Southern white men and women who
tell US privately that it is the truth. ,
Roger N. Baldwin, a director Of the
Union, pointed out the economic
causes Of the recent Tulsa mob vio-
lence as just another demonstration
of the truth of the general PROPOSE
ton.
Among the striking statements
made by Mr.. Pickens in the pam3-
let. are these:
sLynching and mob violence are
only methods Of economic repres-
sion. Lynching il most prevalent
whore negro labor d most exploited:
and the spread Of mob violsnc.

Timely Reminders from
State College Experts
THINGS TO BE DONE IN JULY

THINGS TO BE DONE IN JULY
CUT THE WEEDS. Save water
for next years crop. Save work for
next years team. Increase the mar
ket value of grain by cutting weeds
in July, in pastures, fence rows,
waste places and along the roads,
j. G. H.
sOWs NEED A REsT-Sows at
ter weaving need rest before being
re-bred. A scant pasture at first TO
dry them up may be advisable. Good
leafy alfalfa, sweet clover, or me-
dunn red clover, fed in racks, or the
same in pasturage, will require very
little grain to keep the sowe in the
resting stage. With this good pro-
tein feed, the small amount of grain
may consist of ground barley or
corn, feed which may be right at
hand. Oats, if available, is fine.
When getting ready to re-breed the
sows it is advisable to feed Bit
heavier and have them on the grain.

SUMMER TIME is TYPHOID
TIME-This terrible disease is
caused by germs that find their way
| from human excrement and urine to
food and drinking water. Guard
against it by making the privy fly
proof See that no polluted drainage
reaches the we'll or water supply
Boil the drinking water If you may
have any reason to suspect that 1t
may be dangerous.-E. G. o.
WATCH FOR ARMY WORMS
The latter part of July is army worm
time in South Dakota. Although
serious outbreak is not expected,
there will probably be some local
infestations. Keep close watch In
oats and rye fields. An early dis
covery of the worms many times
means a saving of the entire crop, as
they can be completely controlled by
the use of poisoned bran mash if ap-
piled in time. Watch for the worms
during the latter part Of the month
as the extra effort will pay big re-
turns in case they show up in dam
aging numbers.-A. L. F.
MARKET THE SPRING LAMBS
Market the spring lambs while
the milk fat is on The home butch
err shops and best hotels could use
several nice milk fat lambs every
week for Sunday dinners. Young
lamb is the most delicious of meats
and properly advertised would be
much in demand. Fair sized help
ings should be served of roast lamb
or thick lamb chops. A 5O-pound
spring lamb should dress out Is
pounds and cut up very little waste
compared with other sheep and
should bring the producer SIS to IS
for the lamb and work in dressing
One South Dakota sheepman is now
marketing milk fat lambs and there
are several others who could well
follow his example,. G. H.

Class Rule the Cause
..Most of the lynching evil is trace
able to economic wrong. There IS
conviction that the negro as CLASS
is TO be kept under in human society
that when a black man works anu
sweats. it is not primarily Tor MIS-
own good but for the good Oh ene
dominant race i'm America. Ihls IS
o,ass-feeling 1t is the offspring of
the slave system. If the negro at-
temnts to rise above this condition,
he is SHINING against God and must
he repressed sternly and rellglously.
The negro who by thrift and hard
work rises above this preconcelved
status. becomes an offender like VINO
is seeking to violate the sanctions OF
religion.
s"There must be change in this
attitude toward colored Americans
before we can be free from lyncnlng.
Government and law can do much
but they cannot do everything as
remedy. The notion that God made
the negro for the benefit OF anybody
elise must be wiped out. |"
The civil Liberties Union states
that the reports which come to its
Office from all over the country show
that there is an increasing tendency
in southern industrial centers for
white workers to make common

serts that "civil rights in the South
can be won in fact only by the united
efforts of both black and white work
ers in the struggle against industrial
