PHILANTHROPIST
SAYSNECROTREK
NORTH A BENEFIT
Chicago Capitalist Says Negro
Problem Is Now National
Problem.

Chicago, June Emigration of the
Negro to the north, which has given rise
to social problems now considered grave,
will be an eventful benefit to the nation,
in the opinion of julius Rosenwaid, the
capitalist.
"It will be good thing for the SOUTH"
he adds, because the colored popula-
ton will be more evenly distributed over
the entire country and will lessen the
southern fear, real or alleged, of race
domination, thus removing an outstand-
ing obstacle that has hapered that sec
tons development"
Mr. Rosenwald's prediction, part of
statement released by the Hampton
Tuskegee institute at Tuskegee, Ala,
possesses timely interest by reason of his
gift of $250,000 in the institutes $5,000,-
GOO endowment fund campaign, recently
announced here.
How Problem Spread.
THE so-called Negro problem was
confined largely to the south before the
World War;" Mr.. Rosenwald says. Now
it is national problem, Before 1914
the Negro usually was an agricultural
worker. Today he is big factor in
Americas industrial life.
"The war virtually put stop to for
eign immigration to the United States.
Hundreds of thousands of Europeans
living in this country were called TO the
colors. Under the stimulus Of war con-
ditions industries in the north expanded
greatly.
These three factors caused a labor
shortage that forced the northern indus
trialists to scour the country for availa-
BILE workers. The greatest supply of
such labor was found among the Ne
groes of the south, and this was drawn
on to a great extent.
Migration Still On.
"The result was the beginning of the
largest migration of Negroes in the his
tory of America, and one that is still in
progress.
THE migration has been marked by
two phases, that of l9l6-192O and that
commencing anew in 1922 The first
really began in 1915, reached its maxi
mum in 1917, and continued at a slower
pace up to 1920, when the economic de-
preston brought it to halt.
THE revival of business prosperity
in 1922 brought on new exodus from
the south. Thousands of Negroes who
had remained north during the period
of depression wrote to their friends and
relatives, urging them to come north and
in many cases sending them money for
the journey.
The 1920 census reported the Negro
population of the nation to be about
ten and one-half million, or 10 per cent
of the total population. The Negro
population in the north was shown to
be more than one and one-half million.
Movement Is Industrial.
THE essentially industrial implica-
tons of the northward movement in the
last eight years are revealed by the fact
that more than one million of the north
ern Negroes, or 70 per cent, live in ten
industrial centers, as follows, using
round figures:

"The concentration of the Negro in
these ten northern centers not only has
projected the so-called Negro problem
into the north, but has presented it in
new aspects. Eighty per cent of the
Negroes in the south live in rural COM
munities. The present status and flu
ture of the Negro. therefore. are pr-
marily linked with industry in the north.
and with agriculture in the south.

There Is No surer Way to Discover IL
Animal Is Not In Good Shape.
There is, only one method of deter
mining whether a dog Is feyerish or
not, and that is by using a clinical
thermometer. ANY rough and ready
methods ought to be discountenanced
where valuable animals are ice
ed because accurate information can
be obtained by the use of nj Of these
handy little instruments. If those
WHO keep dogs only could be brought
to understand what a valuable posses.
sion a clinical thermometer is there
would be one wherever there is a val
liable dog.
What is the first thing a doctor
does when he is called to see a per-
son who is i'll? His first ice is tc
take the temperature. He applies a
clinical thermometer and it tells him
Immediately whether the temperature
is normal or whether there are any
symptoms of feverishness. Then he
knows that if there are no symptoms
of f~everishness there is nothing much
the matter, but if the temperature is
abnormal there must be inflamatory
symptoms in one or other of the or
gans which will necessitate careful
diagnosis and Skilled treatment.
1t is precisely the same where valua-
BILE dogs are concerned. If the dog
owner as soon as he notices one Of his
animals to be out of sorts would take
the dogs temperature by the aid of a
clinical thermometer he would know
exactly whether there is or is not any
thing serious tbs matter and would
get a general idea how to proceed
with treatment.-N. Y. Sun.

TuIip and Narcissus Bulbs.

Most of the bulbs sold by florists
and seedsmen in the United States
are imported directly from the Meth
erlands, the annual importations
amounting to nearly a million dollars
In value. In order to encourage the
growing of dutch bulbs in this country
on a commercial scale and to provide
American grown bulbs of superior
duality, the department of agriculture
established a bulb propagating gar
den near Bellinghan, Wash, where
the conditions of soil and climate are
similar to those in the Netherlands,
for the purpose of conducting expert
ments in the propagation, cultivation,
harvesting, storing, and planting OF
these bulbs. 1t appears from the in
vestigations that have been conducted
that American grown tulip bulbs in
forcing tests in comparison with i'm
ported stock under the same condi-
tions are freer from disease and BIOS
son from five to sever days earlier
than the same varieties imported from
Europe; also that the flowers produc-
ed from these bulbs have longer stems
and are of better color and quality
thar those from foreign grown bulbs.
Tulip and narcissus bulbs a be pro-
pagated and grown successfully along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
In the region Of the Great Lakes, but
owing to- the cost of labor only COM
p~aratively limited areas have been
planted. The largest areas devoted to
the growing of these bulbs on a com
mercial scale in this country r in

and California. A single grower near
Portsmouth, Va, has a planting of 65
acres of narcissuses, and during the
blossoming seasons ships daily large
quantities of blossoms.

FARMING BY o

\ After reading certain farm papers
and articles on farming in general pa
pers and magazines, says the Farm
Journal, one cannot help wondering
whether the farmer is still the hard
working man he used to be or whether
he is merely a figurehead sitting in
an office signing checks while waiting
for his chauffeur to roll the limous-
inc around.
One of these articles in a weekly
paper would have us believe that a
Pennsylvania farmer who was unable
to get the farm help he needed in
stalled an electric plant and now does
everything electrically except to
plough and plant potatoes. An article
in another of our popular journals, the
writer of which evidently has never
been sufficiently attracted by the lure
of the land to get within close proS-
unity to a farm, contains the state
ment that in Kansas alfalfa goes
through five sowings a year-presum-
ably while the farmers sit on the
fences and watch the strange pro-
ceeding.
However, despite these word pic
lures of beautiful farm Utopias, the
fact still remains that in no other
vocation does real hard work count
for so much as in farming. We have
not yet reached the point where farm
ing is done by proxy. It is still done
by farming, and farming means work.
Anyone who will do a little investi-
eating will find that the farmer has
not been altogether emancipated from
work by the introduction of the au
tomobile, the farm tractor and the
gas engine. On the contrary. modern
farm machiery has made the farmers
time more valuable.

PROFIT IN LARGE FARMS
Survey Indicates that Incomes Usually
Vary Directly With the Sizes
Of Farma %T

Of Farms an
Under the conditions which prevail
on the average American farm, the op-
p~ortunity for making a satisfactory
profit varies directly with the number
Of acres farmed, according to farm
management specialists in the depart
ment. This statement is substantial
ed by figures gathered in the course
of a survey which has recently been
made by the department of a portion
of Chester county, Pa. This survey, in
the opinion of the specialists empha-
sizes what has been called "the small
farm ~fallacy,' which is discussed at
some length in a bulletin soon to be
issued, Farm Management Practice OF
Chester County. Pa.
In the territory surveyed, farms of
80 to 40 acres required for each crop
acre SIS worth Of machinery on an av-
erage, as compared with less than SO
worth on farms of 100 acres and over.
The small sized farms needed one
horse for every 8 acres, as compared
with n horse for more than IL acres
on the larger holdings. In spite of
this increased Investment per acre,
the small farms were not so we'll
equipped with labor saving machinery.
On the farms of from 10 to 40 acres
the average labor income-that Is to
say, the money which thu farmer re-
ceives for his gears work after the
interest on his Investment has been
d~educted-was only $40, while on
farms of over $50 acres the average
was $1,575. Fre1n those and other tig-
ures which convey the same lesson,
the investigators concluded that the
small farm, carrying on a general
farming business labors under a fixed
handicap that is inherent in its size.
This relation Of the size of the farm
to the opportunity for profit is declar.
ed in the bulletin already mentioned
to be of vital interest because of the
notion which SO widely prevails that
the idea of American agriculture is
the small farm. Numerous real estate
promotion schemes are based on this
idea. 1t is a distinct fallacy. Very
small farms are difficult to make sue
cessful anywhere, and it is only the
exceptional man who is equal to the
task. They must always be devoted
to the most intensive types of farm
ing and the products Of most kinds OF
intensive farming ~fluctuate greatly in
volume and price, SO that the business
is very insecure. The danger is great
ly magnified if the small farm is sit
uated a long distance from market, for
prices for their products do not have
to fall very fsr until the transporta-
ton charges wipe ont all profits. Even
in the vicinity OF the better markets
these small farms succeed only in To-
calities where they have distinct adj
yantages for the particular type of
farming which they follow"

PrImuIa MaIacoides.

This new race of primroses from
the mountains of China has proved
most profuse-flowering for pot cul-

flowers fully a half inch in diameter.
Primula ~malacoides is easily grown

-four months from sowing and con-
tinues to bloom in increasing profus-

Departments Position as to Dry Beans

The department of agriculture has
been requested by many growers and
shippers to define its position with
respect to application of the Federal
Food and Drugs Act to the transpor-
tation in the Interstate commerce of
dry pea or or navy, medium, and kid
ney beans. These requests have been
prompted by the action OF the depart
ment in recommending seizures of Gull
beans in sacks and of beans in cans
which were found upon examination TO
contain considerable percentages of
beans which were wholly or in part
filthy, decomposed or putrid.
Under the Federal Food and Drugs
Act, beans in common with other artt-
cles of food are adulterated if they
consist "in whole or in part Of a fill
thy, decomposed or putrid animal or
vegetable substance" Gull beans, in
the opinion of he-department, usually
contain considerable percentages Of
beans which are wholly or In part fill
thy or decomposed and are therefore
a~dulterated. The shipment in inter-
state commerce Of such beans for food
purposes is prohibited by the act. No
objection is entertained however, to
interstate shipment of Gull beans for
Industrial purposes or for use other
than as food for man if they are first
treated by grinding or otherwise so
as to render them unavailable for use
as food for nan
The department is informed that
dry pea or navy, medium, and kidney
beans intended for use as food for
man are SEN customarily by the grow
ers to elevators where the beans are
sorted by hand picking so as to elm
mate the beans which are wholly or
in part filthy, decomposed, or putrid-
1t has been represented that in the
process of hand picking aearly all
moldy or musty beans are removed,
but that it is not practicable to re-
move all beans which are slightly de-
composed. The department a not
recommended the seizure of dry and
mature pea or navy, medium, or kid
ney beans which have been hand pick
ed in accordance with good CONNER
cial practice.

A CITY BROADCAST

New Britain night over the
radio last night was a successful
attempt to advertise the city and
Secretary Gould OF the Chamber of
Commerce is to be congratulated
upon the effort. The program was
OF high callber and In that re-
spect left listeners with thu I'M
preston that New Britain is not
only place W h er e hardware is
manufactured but is a place where
culture abides,
Through this event radio listen
ers all over New England got into
touch with New Britain In a man
ner never achieved before. When
ever a program becomes uninter-
esting radio listeners are privileged
TO turn the dial and get in touch
with another station. 1t Is safe to
say that few d d this last night
alllr they tuned up with VITO.
TIL music and other entertainment
Offered was OF such unusual merit
that the audience of listeners must
have increased as the evening wore
on rather than diminished
The city has every reason to feel
proud of the talent which con-
tributed to the program.
