such courses are now being given in Il

objects and to formulate general pro

also to have the subject brought to the
attention of the next State teachers
meeting.
The meeting here was called by the
Commission on Interracial Cooperation
in connection with its effort to have
the study of race relations introduced
into all the colleges of the South. A
meeting of educators from the South

". VIRGINIA NEGROES
MAKING PROGRESS IN
ALL LINES Of WORK

The Negroes of West Virginia nave
made more rapid strides in the devel
opment of business enterprises during
the past two years than they maze IN
the previous decade, according to
statement made public by T. Edward
Hill, director of the Bureau OF Negro
Welfare and Statistics. The statement
continues as follows:
''To establish first class places OF
business, the West Virginia Negro IS
RAPIDLY learning to organize and man
age corporations and the rank and tie
of the Negro race is showing contl'
dence i'm those members who have been
successful in business by investing
some of their savings in corporated en-
terprises promoted and managed by
them.
During the past two years there
have been organized among the Negro
es of this State 26 corporations with
nm aggregate capital stock of one mil
lion forty five thousand dollars. All OF
these corporations were formed TO
serve a particular need of the Negroes
of the State at large or OF the com
munity in which they are doing Dusi
ness, and a noteworthy feature IS that
none of these 26 corporations were
stock selling schemes to relieve the
gullible of their money. All were legin
mate efforts to conduct legitimate busl
ness and all of them are doing the
main business for which they were IN
corporated.

and the history and progress Of the
race since emancipation. To the great
historical value of the book is added a
wealth of popular human interest
through the inclusion Of many intimate
glimpses of ante4bellum conditions that
have heretofore been inaccessible to
most readers. The book is said to COM
bine in rare degree both the scientific
and the popular approach.
In summing up, the author offers no
final solution Of the race problem, but
emphasizes the conviction that If the
two races will only exercise good will
and helpfulness toward each other from
day to day, the future may be safely
trusted to take care Of itself. The
whole philosophy of the book is simply
that of doing the next thing in a
Christian spirit.
Dr. Weatherford has been a pionee:'
in the study Of race relations in the
South, having previously written sever
al books on this topic. The appearance
of his new volume is awaited with in
terest by the very large number OF
southern people who are earnestly pur
suing the subject.

HINTS FOR use
OF WATER DURING
PRESENT SEASON
NJ. r.. Lewis Gives Practical Ideas
For Making Full Crop In
Spite of Short Water

The water users in many parts Of
Idaho are finding that it is possible
to irrigate successfully with much
less water than they have been &C
customed to use. This fact will en-
able the farmers on nearly all pro-
jects to come through the summer
with almost normal crops.
There is a definite limit to the
amount of water which any soil will
retain from a single irrigation. IL
does no good to apply more than
this amount as the excess will simply
soak down into the sub-soil and be
lost. On most fields 1t is difficult
to spread the water over the whole
field without allowing too much to
penetrate in some spots. This espec-
tally true where small streams OF
water are used as the streams are
then allowed TO run for many hours
on the same strips or burrows in or
der that the water may reach the
lower ends. Some measurements by
Steward on porous soils in the Boise
valley showed that three times as
much water was Required 70 irri-
gate a certain field wpen a head"
Of 200 inches was used. Since the
amount retained by that portion OF
the soil in which the crop roots were
feeding was undoubtedly particularly
the same in both cases there was a
saving by the use OF the larger head
of two-thirds Of the water for use
elsewhere.
The conclusion reached by Bark
after several years study OF irriga-
tion practice In Idaho Is that the
average size of the irrigation head
which Is used for nearly all purposes
in the larger portion OF Idaho sell
dom exceeds one or two second feet,
vet the use OF heads three or four
times this size would give a much
higher efficiency. particularly II the
soil is inclined to be az all porous.
The use OF large streams in many
cases several hundred inches. ap-
piled in one place will enable the
irrigator TO spread his water out
further and thus cover more land
with the scznt supply. In the very
few places IN Idaho where the water
must be allowed to run FOR q number
OF hours on the land savings may
be made by starting the irrigation
with large heads" In order TO reach
the lower end Of the runs qquickiy
and then cutting down on the
streams so that little or no waste oc-
ours from the field. Il II well to
remember that water soaks down
ward veTy much faster tat Il does
sideways.
While every means should be used
70 make the short supply 20 a. far as
possible. there Is reason TO believe
that on most projects the crops win
be nearly as large as usual where
proper care in use OF water Is exer-
cised.
The agricultural engineering de-
partmenf OF the college Of agricul-
ture OF the University Of Idaho will
be very glad to answer any question
on irrigation problems. Statesman.
