DePriest VS.. Howard

Congressman DePriest avows that
Perry W. Howard, politician, who
lives in Washington but represents
Mississippi, persuaded him not to at
tend President Hoover's "White
House" reception. Mr.. De Priest has
witnesses who state that they heard
Howard implore him not to attend
Howard states that the Congressman
is a liar. Those are grievous words
that are calculated to stir up anger.
Mr.. Towards record and his unmanly
attitude upon most of the vital issues
affecting his people leads us to be-
lieve that the Congressman speaks
the truth and that the gentleman
from the deltas of the Mississippi is
in error. There are those who are so
imbued with the completes of infe-
riority that they shudder when stall
wart leaders of their own race push
aside conventions and stand up as
men. Such actions they deem as un-
diplomatic and perhaps obtrusive.
What the colored race needs is cour-
age and strength to carry on as free
men and not as half men. Perry
Towards stone-age brain has no
place in this day and time. He has
feathered his own nest while anchor
ating the status and condition of his
people. In our opinion De Priest flat
tiers this type of individual when he
dignifies him with an audience.

Our Buying Power

DIR. Dubois of The Crisis, eminent
sociologist and thinker, again places
his approval upon the famous slogan
of Don't Spend Your Money Where
You Cannot Work. There are many
uniformed individuals who are yet
debating this issue and, strange to
say, there are many colored adher-
ents to those who PROFOUND syco-
phantic policies for their own people.
Dr. Dubois recognizes the buying
power of the colored people as a ire
mendous lever whereby they may be
lifted. He further realizes that the
affairs of the whites in America are
so interlocked that no serious repris-
ais will be suffered by his people for
contending for economic represent
ing power" When the depression

Here's Brain Teaser
A Question In Finance

A father gave each of his two
sons 70 cents in niekels and dimes
and told them that they were free to
spend some portion of their money,
but that they should put some by for
a rainy day. As a very definite sug-
gestion, he proposed that they should
spend, say, half their dimes and a
third of their nickels. Or, if they
preferred, they might spend half the
nickels and a third of their dimes.
The two boys decided between them
that one should follow the first sug-
gestion and the other would follow
the second. To their surprise, they
discovered that both would spend the
same amount of money.
The problem is: what coins did
each of the brothers have?
The answer will be printed in next
weeks Enterprise.

Last Weeks Teaser

The small boy in last weeks Brain
Teaser must have his 40 cents
changed into niekels and dimes: four
nickels and two dimes. There isn't
any other solution.
This may be shown as follows
Start with a quarter That leaves
Is cents to be represented by five
coins, and it can't be done. To show
that it can't be done, consider that
the number of pennies must be divis-
ible by five, so there must be either
five of them or none of them. Mel
Their will work, so this rules out hav-
ing any quarters in the solution.
Pennies also are ruled out of the
solution of the main problem, for five
of them would equal only five cents,
leaving 35 cents to be represented by
one coin; an impossibility.
So the six coins consist of nickels
and dimes, and it is easily seen that
such being the case, there must be
four nickels and two dimes.

Why Sound Taps?

When the great football teams of
Juskegee Institute and Wilberforce
University locked horns last Saturday
at Mills Stadium in Chicago ten thou
sand or more members of the colored
race stood bareheaded as the bugle
sounded taps for the lamented Knute
Rockne, great football coach of No
tire Dame University. Now, Rocl1ne
was a white man; no colored boys
ever played on his teams; in fact, we
know of no colored students even at
tending Notre Dame during MIR.
Rockne's regime. Then why should
ten thousand of us stand uncovered
in tribute to him and why should col
ored boys sound taps?
The reasons offered are that the
coaches of Wherefore and Tuske-
gee had attended summer coaching
classes conducted by Mr.. Rockne
This seems to us indeed far-fetehed
We can see no reason for it. We be-
lleve that it is a good policy to "ren.
der unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars and unto God the things that
are Gods. If Mr.. Rocl1ne had shown
any concrete interest in the athletic

We have listened to RocBne TELLING

we have sensed the fact that colored
people in general were persona non

silly for us to uncover and sound taps

who are not easily insulted; we are

The Campaign Against Amos n Andy

Several Negro leaders and news
papers are sponsoring what is called
r'Self-Respect" campaign. This
campaign is based on a protest d.
rected against the radio skit broad
cast by the National Broadcasting
Co., featuring Amos m Andy two
well-known white artists who are ex-
perts in Negro character sketches.
The contention is that Amos m An
dy are an insult to Negro business,
Negro womanhood and Negro frater-
nal organizations. This campaign
seems to be rather far fetched. This
newspaper is a champion of the self
respect doctrine for worthy Ne
groes as individuals or as a race
group. 1t has been fighting for many
years for just that thing. Our con-
tention is that despite warnings of
many years, the Negroes who have
elected to call themselves leaders
and shapers of the destiny of the
race are conducting very fine bur-
Iessue on the Fresh Air Taxicab"
business. If Negro newspapers and
self-elected Negro leaders would in
augurate and keep going every day
in the week a camaign to teach Ne
groes self-respect, it would be more
and do more good than
picking out some comedy skit which
reveals SO much truth until it hurts
those who inwardly acknowledge how
very true it really is.

FARM
GLEANINGS
By W. G. YEAGER
County Agent

Rowan farmers with Black walnut.
ungathered are permitting a nea,
ource of revenue to pass by as there
is a good demand for black walnuts
as such and also the walnut meats.
All walnurs of good quality should
be gathered up Immediately and hull
led by putting thru a co n shelter or
any other means that will remove the
hull. After hulling they should be
dried by spreading out on loft or
other dry place not over four walnuts
deep and stirred about every few days
until dry enough for good cracking.
The market on walnuts is from Is
cents to $1.0O per bushel. Several con-
Germs are buying walnuts, in car loads
and less.
The Hickory Seed Co., at Hickory
is one of the closest firms bidding on
walnuts. The farm family hat wants
to make the short winter days return
an extra profit will not market their
walnuts in the rough but will
crack them and market the meats.
Walnuts will crack out from
4 to s pounds of meats per bushel.
One bushel per day is about averags
picking over the short winter days
per man and the meats selling at SO
o Is cents per pound makes the
days work both pleasant and prof.
table. The meats should be graded.

the light colored ones kept seperate
from the dark colored ones. By use of
a cracking machine the daily output
can be materially increased and also
the quality of meats as it enables the
operator to extract the meat in larger
pieces. Walnut Seeding trees are avail
able again from the State Forest Muir
sery and the Extension Agent will be
glad to assist any farmer or group of
farmers to get of these trees that are
going out at one dollar per hundred.

ings along the out of way places on

time we should take courage from the
fine rain that has fallen over our coun-

much of the low producing cotton
land into a small grain or legume crop
or both. With the present season rye
is n of most likely crops and if
rye is Objectionable hen oats seeded
after the middle of January becomes
the next best opportunity. AS a simple
soil building crop lespedeza stands in
a class by itself as a summer legume
and vetch as a winter crop, either
making a satisfactory growth the first
year on the most heavily eroded land
that is worth reclaiming!l The farmer
that has safeguarded his land invest
ment by better farm practice will
want to use the bi-annual c%Iovers,
red, alsike and sweet, as they are more
satisfactory on the more improved
lands. The lespedeza seed crop at this
TING is attractive, and is alluring some

that individual stalk propogated a
seed supply that has also been turned
into the seed channels the past few
years. A conservative estimate of the
seed crop in Rowan this year would
be 1 IL million pounds of Korean
and Kobe-and probably double that
