Gary Is Satisfied
With Negro Labor
C0lored Population of Gary
Shows Many Advancements
Along with Growth of City.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press.)


Gary, Indiana, May 1S-The ques-
ton whether colored labor from the
South is adaptable to northern indus
trial use appears to have been settled
by the results obtained here. News
of the erection Of a new tube mill,
which when completed will employ
$4,000 men is followed by the under
standing that colored laborers, both
skilled and unskilled will be used
wherever they make good. Gary,
whose growth in the last ten years
has been the wonder of the country
is purely and simply an industrial
city, and has given an unusual oppor-
tunity for measuring the capacity of
the colored worker. The steel mills
and tin plate works, and the many
other mammoth plant are the reasons
for Gary's being. This city of $4,000
or 10000 people, 5000 of whom are
colored, exists for the purpose of
supplying labor to these giant manu-
facturers, and of catering TO the
needs of colored labor, had its big
chance during the war when labor
was scarce and later when immigra-
ton was cut off, reducing the regular
labor supply.
Steel officials say the colored work
er has shown ability. Their only
complaint has been the larh Of steadi-
ness. Many of the men who first
focked to Gary were the careless
fioaters who flood any city when there
is a chance to work and spend few
weeks to get stake and then move
on. Later more substantial groupe
came who bought homes, brought
their families and became permanent
residents. The schools here are "a
mong the finest in the country, mix
ed as to race but with colored teach
ers as we'll as white. There is
large number of colored professional
and business men.
The Mid-City Bank, through its
substance the Mid-City Realty Co.,
and Mid-City Building and Loan,
owns large tracts of property here
and have specialized in modern home
building. 1t is said big proportion
of their homes have been built for
the colored residents and their infor-
nation bureau reports that they have
achieved such success they are plan
ming still further efforts in connec-
ton with the large influx of colored
people who are expected to seize the
oportunity to locate here because Of
the great demand for labor with the
coming of the need for $4,000 men
to man the tube mills.

majority at that time, and
so were nominated; these two
were A. T. White, of Enerbe,

Austin practically got the entire
vote, he getting 1913 to IS for
Thomas. Mr.. Austin and his
friends had expected a larger
vote to be polled at Hamlet
and if this had been the case he
and Muse both would have won.
In the June 3rd primary 1929
votes were cast at Hamlet, COM
pared with 1857 this last primary.
The voting strength of that pre-.
cinct is understood to be near the
1000 mark.
The fight for Sheriff was won
by ex.sheriff Homer Baldwin with
sos majority. In the June 3rd
primary Baldwin got 1879 votes
to 1923 for Shores, 81 for Nc
Laurin and 1866 for ]. B. Rey-
nolds. This last primary gave
Baldwin 1872 and Shores TIT.
In other words, Baldwin increas-

votes, and Shores increased his
vote by 51 .z-tt;-!!'ar!y ciio.s:s=

Baldwin getting l16 to ll3 for

Everybody should pick up and
burn all squares at least once

ing punctured squares in moist
soil will favor the development
of the young.
When 10 per cent or more of
the squares have been punctured,
poinsoning should begin, as
heretofore advised in these
columns by weevil authorities.
It is claimed that poisoning
earlier than this may cost more
than the results will warrant.
Dust three times, four days apart,
according to instructions hereto
fore given; then wait until again
10 per cent or more of the squares
are punctured, then repeat the
three dustings.
I deem it useless to repeat the
government instructions and
cautions. Those who intend to
dust are ready. Those who do
not, need not try if not ready
with material and machines when
the time arrives for its necessity.
We can do nothing after the

They will take all the top crop

How He Multplies.
The males, as well as females,
make what is known as food
punctures." These squares are
not sealed and contain no egg,
but die just the same. Each fe-
male makes an average of 100
egg punctures," deposits an egg
in each and seals it to protect her
young from the fire ant" and
other enemies. These eggs be-
come grown weevils on an aver
age of about 20 days, and repeat
the performance.
Let us suppose that you had
only one female in your field

June 10th to lay her quota of
eggs; so Of her 100, we will as

June 80 we have 81 young fe-
males or 100 weeyils including
the males. By July 10th we will
have 5Qx100, or 5000 weevils.
By Aug. 10th we will have
50x5OOO or $4,000 weevils from
that one female. This is only
the Bird generation, and we may
get two more. Suppose only one
