BABIES IN THREE YEARS OR
THE MARRIAGE ENDS,
NEBRASKA'S PLAN

Lincoln, Nebr-A bill intended to
annul childless marriages in Nebraska
has been introduced in the lower house
Of the legislature of that state. It is
sponsored by DR.. "A. 5. Pinto, we'll
known physician of Omaha, and was
introduced by Representative Robert
E. Hines, youngest member Of the
house. Hines j. a bachelor.
His bill would not annul marriage
until the couple had been childless for
three years. Impotency of either man
or wife grants exemption.
One Of the proposed terms prohibits
the marriage OF any male under IS
years Of age to female who has
passed her child bearing age. The
other plans require certificates of
health from applicants for marriage
licenses. The new bill is intended to
compel the upper classes to bear
children, it was stated.
Doc Pinto and his marriage bin don't
want to go too fast in forcing newly
welded couples nor old spIiced up
couples to toe the mark too soon for
by giving them plenty Of time they
may get there after while.-Editor.

Greensboro, n. C., Feb. Con jan
uary 2l-22, the A. & T. College was
very glad to have as its guests, the
members Of the Farmers Congress Of
North Carolina, Of which T. S. Inber-
den is president and John D. Wray is
secretary. The theme of the Congress
was Home Ownership Through Bet
ter Farming" Dean Bluford gave the
welcome address and many very prom
inent men addressed the congress,
among whom were DIR. ]. A. Cotton,
principal Of the Henderson Normal
School Of Henderson, N. O.; President
James B. Dudley, A. & T. College;
DIR. 5. G. Brown, president, Lott
Carey Foreign Mission Convention;
Lawyer T. G. Walker, Gloucester, Va,
and DR.. G. w. Carver, noted scientist,
Of Tuskegee Institute.
DR.. Carver is not only scientist
and artist, but most entertaining and
convincing lecturer. He brought to
the congress many helpful suggestions
to farmers, among which was the fol-
lowing in regard to the corn exhibit:
II sat here and looked at this wonder
full exhibit of corn. / said to myself,
That is one interesting and valuable
thing TO know, how to raise corn But
unless we can increase the consump-
ton Of corn, the farmer will not be
any better off, SO that the consump-
ton must be increased with produc-
ton, or else down comes the price.
Hence, the problem is to find some
thing that will increase or that we
hope will increase consumption and
therefore bring more health to the
community"
DIR. Carver read many kilograms
which he had received from different
sections Of the country, from persons
and firms seeking information which
showed the great demand for his serv-
ices. Here he stressed the urgent
need for a research laboratory, for he
said that he was unable to render these
people help, not because he could not
do it, but because, as he stated, Il
have all the problems that I have time
to possibly master and many more
than I will ever master. Such prob
lens are more or less LOCALS | am
in the South, I am going to work Out
the problems Of the South" Later on
in his lecture he stated that to discover
all the possibilities Of the sweet po-
tato was lifetime job for one man.
pr. Carver displayed samples OF
more than hundred products, most
Of which were made from the sweet
potato. They consisted Of bran, diff
ferent kinds Of -four, a foundation for
lemon pies, compounds used for
medicinal purposes, dyes, paints, cot
fee, a cereal similar to postum, choco-
late bonbons, after dinner minis, adj
hesive' caramel ginger candy, drawing
ink, rubber, and others too numerous
to mention He further stated that he
had made ll8 products from the sweet
potato, l76 from the peanut and over
