couraged or reproved, as the case
may be. This is the province of the
newspaper of the special group. The
larger daily, and we in this communi-
ty are favored with a fair-minded and
friendly press, thinks and speaks in
the terms of the whole community
not of any particular class. The spe-
cial group, the special interest, must
have its special organ.
Then, again, there may arise mat
ters affecting the rights of particu-
lar class which, in the larger COM
munity life the daily serves, may be
overlooked. Then it becomes the
duty of the special organ to speak.
The peculiar place unfortunately
assigned to the colored American,
even in the most favored communi-
ties where he is found in any appre-
ciable number, makes it expedient
that he shall have a newspaper of his
own, devoted especially to his inter-
ests. 1t has its educational value for
him and also for his white neighbor,
if he will read it. Papers of this
class can be of good service in COM
munity.
The Monitor hopes to fill an honor
able and useful place in its chosen
field in this community, full of splen-
did possibilities. 1t will strive to
gather news of interest, local and
general; it will give from time to
time illustrated articles of our homes
and people; it will publish articles
from special writers to make its read
ers think; it will welcome short let
tiers on timely topics from its read
ers. Its editorial policy will be in
dependent, frank and fearless, cour-
teous and kind, sane and conserva-
tive. We shall strive to make it a
paper of such high standard that it
can be read with pleasure and profit
in any home in the land.-Editorial,

THE FIRST

This is the first issue of The Mont
tor, a weekly newspaper published
primarily in the interests of the 5000
colored Americans in Omaha and
vicinity, to chronicle their social and
religious activities and to discuss
matters of peculiar Importance to
them as touching their civic and eco
nomic rights, duties, opportunities
and privileges. Further than this, it
has as its general aim and purpose
the contributing of something to the
upbuilding and good of the commu-
nifty, to the dissemination of infor-
nation bearing on race progress
throughout the country and to the
formation of sound and righteous
The first editorial in the first issue
of The Monitor gives opportunity for
explanation and forecast. We take
it to tell WHY we have come TO BE
and WHAT we hope TO BECOME.
The Monitor has come into being
to satisfy popular demand, to meet
an urgent need, namely, that of
special publication and mouthpiece
for the colored people of this commu-
nifty. And this need, it is only fair
to point out, is the result of educa-
ton along this line on the part OF
others, to whom full credit should be
given for their laudable endeavors.
We have been educated to appreciate
the value and usefulness of a pub

for the soul, especially the reading,

standing women in efficiency. A
great number enjoyed the hospitality
of the religious and general educa-

who brought to the audience the
solemnity and beauty of devotionals
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Franklin, and continued, until a few
months ago, by T. P. Mahammitt; not
forgetting two or three other later
and shorter-lived publications like the
Afro-American Sentinel, published
by Cyrus d. Bell, and The Progress
sive Age, by G. Wade Obee. All
these publications, whatever their
faults or limitations may have been,
have had their influence in educating
our people to appreciate the useful
ness and need of such race journals.
This is especially true of the two
first named. Moreover, it may be
just as well to point out, in passing,
that these publications, limited in re-
sources though they were, gave en-
ployment to some of our boys and
girls who otherwise might have been
unemployed. Let US remember this.
The necessity for a local weekly,
such as The Monitor aims to be, is
due to the fact that colored Ameri-
cans, like other race groups in our
polygenous, or many raced nation

tionalization-form a distinct and
well-defined social group, having
their classes and gradations, with
their separate social and religious ac-

WIDE VARIATION SHOWN IN
YIELDS OF WHEAT

Wheat yields on the trial plots at
the University of Maryland Expert
ment Station have fiuctuated be-
tween eighteen and forry-six bushels
per acre during the past twenty-five
years, according to J.. e. Metzger,
head of the department of agronomy
and soils.
The high yield records were estab-
lished in the years 1914, 1925 and
1928 while the lowest records were
made in 1909, 1912 and 1919.
Comparison of the station yields
with those reported for the State as
whole by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture indicates that
Statewide conditions have general
ly governed wheat yields. The fig
ures show chat the Experiment Sta
tion records parallel those for all
sections of Maryland fifty per cent
of the time. The relationship be-
tween the result9 at College Park
and those on the Eastern Shore and
in Southern Maryland is still closer,
the records running parallel sixty
four per cent of the time.
The real causes for the wide tiuc-
tuations in wheat yields, it is said
are diseases and insects which do
damage in proportion to their prev
alence. From the standpoint of
yield, the wheat scab, known as the
Septoria disease, is the most import
ant. This disease cuts OF the water
supply of the plant and is trouble
some during the first twenty days
after the wheat comes into head.
Although spores of this disease are
present every year, they do not de-
velop during seasons of sunshine
but become active in warm, damp
weather.
Damage by Septoria and other di-
seases may be materially reduced il
resistant varieties are used, it Is
pointed out. Tests show that on
low lands with poor air drainage
such as are found in the coastel plain
area Of the State and in the valleys
OF Frederick and Washington coun-
ties, such varieties as Mammoth Red,
Bearded Purple Straw and Miracle
are most satisfactory. Where air
drainage is good, however, such va
rieties as Currell's, Leaps and China
are as good as the white char beard
ed varieties.

NUMBER OF COMBINES IN STATE
TNCREASES

"
The use of the combine or combi-
nation harvesting and threshing
machine to harvest wheat on num-
Der of Maryland farms the past sea-
son, indicates that the use Of modern
and efficient farm machinery is not
confined to the West, says f. Old
enburg, agronomist for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.
That these machines are becoming
established in the east is indicated
by the statement of one manufactur-
err who reported the sale of eighteen
combines the past year to farmers
in Maryland. Virginia and Delaware,
it is said. There are possibly twen-
ty-five or more of the machines in
Maryland.
The great advantage of the COM
bine, according to Mr.. Oldenburg, is
the striking saving it affords in time
and labor. The combine cuts the
wheat and threshes it in one opera
ton. With the system customarily
followed in Maryland, the wheat is
first cut and shocked and later
threshed, both operations requiring
extra farm labor.
The use of a combine, on the other
hand, necessitates mintmum
amount of labor and calls for little
more than the regularly employed
farm help. The combine likewise
appeals to the farmer who makes a
business of growing soybeans as n is
the most satisfactory machine thus
far developed for harveting this
crop.
The combine is likewise said to
overcome the disadvantage OF having
wheat stand in the field in shocks
where it is sometimes seriously dam
aged during prolonged period Of
wet weather.
One of the objections to the COM
bine in the minds of some farmers
is the difficulty encountered in saw
ing the straw. There are several
methods OF overcoming this. how
ever, SO that it need not be regarded
too seriously.
