Negro Progress
In Retail Trade
Is Phenomenal

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(Special.)
Concrete evidence of Negro pro-
gress in retail trade is indicated in
the 1880 census reports. The Divi-
sion of Distribution of the Census
Bureau has learned from it's tabula-
tion that at the close of the year
1929 there were 25,701 retail stores
in the United States conducted by
Negro proprietors whose stock on
hand at the end of the year 1929
were valued at $10,657,000; whose
full time employees numbered 49,
561; and whose total payroll for the
year amounted to $8,528,306. 1t
seems therefore that very appre-
ciable beginning has been made by
the Negro in small trade.
A comparison of this data with the
figures for the censusSof 1920 shows
that during the ten year period there
was an increase of 2,175 Negro re-
tail dealers in the United States; and
that a very substantial gain had oc-
cured in the northern states whose
Negro population increases are at
tributed to migration from the south.
Negro business has been growing
as to number, variety and in business
volume. The total net sales reported
was SOL, 146,043 which indicates an
average of $3,935.47. in several
states, however, the average has

Protested War of 1912

The Hartford convention was a
convention of delegates from the
New England states to protest
against the continued prosecution of
the War of 1912. 1t met at Hartford,
Conn, December 10, 1914, and sat
for about three weeks. George Ca
bot of Massachusetts was chosen
president. New England was known
to be out of sympathy with
the war of 1912, as it interfered with
overseas trade. While stories circu-
lated to the effect that the conven-
tion planned to turn New England
back to the British crown TO be
made a duchy, the actual proposals
were milder. They included de-
mand that each state of the Union
be permitted to defend itself, hav-
ing taxes partially remitted for that
purpose. Seven amendments to the
Constitution were proposed. The
war having ended about this time,
nothing came of the proposals.

Gather Honey for Ants

A German scientist who has been
studying ants says that these in
sects probably deserve to rank as
the worlds heaviest eaters. They
eat half their own weight at meal,
and all of this banquet is sugar, or
''honey dew" The scientist COM
putes that the 100000 population of
the average size ant heap annually
collects and consumes more than %
pounds of sugar.
This huge amount of sweets was
found to be supplied by the ants
own "domesticated animals" or
plant lice. The lice are free to
'graze" on forest vegetation. even
to the topmost leaf Of the tallest
tree. but are carefully attended by
their masters and constantly drained
of the sugar they obtain.

Cultivation of Garden
From Dawn of History

The idea of gardening is not new
but has been familiar to most peo-
pie since civilization began. Trees,
shrubs, flowers. water and orna-
ments have always been included
in some form as home grounds
were developed. The Bible de-
scribes mans first misfortune in
the story of Adam and Eve being
driven from the Garden of Eden.
Some one has said that many of
the wise ones have been endeavor-
ing to return to garden since that
time. In other words. there has al
ways been a growing tendency to
construct gardens in some form or
other by the majority of people liv-
ing in civilized countries.
Landscape or garden architecture
is the most perishable Of the arts,
and the only records Of its ancient
development are found in stone
carvings and literature.
From this information we find
that the wandering nomads of the
earliest times apparently drove their
herds from place TO place, stopping
where pastures were favorable and
the soil suitable for rough cultiva-
ton. AS these stopping places be-
came more permanent, the cultivat-
ed areas were fenced to protect
them from wild animals and raid
ing tribes. Ancient history de
scribes them and at a later date
those of Egypt and Babylonia as
the first gardens.

A wise and witty message was
given by Carl G. Doney, the presi-

PASTURE MANAGEMENT
Assistant Agronomist G. E. Phil
lips, Gives Information

Pasture is the cheapest feed OBJ
tainable. It is however, probably
the most neglected crop on the av-
erage farm. Nearly every perman-
ent pasture has been over-grazed
for the past two years and is in
very poor condition. The chances
for the recovery of such pastures
under grazing conditions, even
with a normal rainfall this year, is
very remote unless some care is
exercised and applications of COM
mercial fertilizer made. Applica-
tions of fertilizer will not help
much, however, unless there is a
fair stand of grasses and clovers
covering the pastures. A perman-
ent pasture that is worthy of fer
tilizer must be in about as good
condition as a hay meadow. Where
the pastures are thin they may be
thickened somewhat by broadcast
ing to 10 lbs, of Japan clover per
acre.in the early spring. CONNER
cial fertilizer should be applied the
last of March or first of April as
a top dressing. Fertilize at least
1-3 acre per animal with 300 to
400 lbs, of 6-6-5 or an equivalent
amount of some other fertilizer
containing 4 to 5 per cent of nit
rogen and approximately equival-
ent amounts of phosphoric acid
and potash. Fence the fertilized
field separately and Craze it first.
When it has been grazed down turn
in the untreated pasture. Alter
nate the grazing between these two
fields as growing conditions per-
NIT. Where pastures are very low
in fertility it may be necessary to
fertilize the entire acreage. In
some cases it may be necessary to
provide temporary pasture to re-
ieve the permanent pasture and to
sure a continuous supply.
