0RGANIZING A- COMMUNITY

The prospects of community for
greater prosperity and better ad-
vantages, depend almost wholly on
how well that community is organ
lied. You may have more than aver
age intelligence and wealth in a
town, but if it its people are not Or
gaBized to accomplish results, it
will be largely stationary.
Organizations accomplish results.
When they take proposition up and
push it, support is obtained, senti-
ment is created, and things move.
Unorganized movements eyaporate
in talk. So if you want your COM
munity to go ahead, join the organ

pay dues cheerfully, attend the meet

sent to take hold and do your fair
share Of work. If we apply these

ORCHARD SPRAY NOTES
ier-a 4.. TO FRUIT GROWERS

A general summary of the prevail.
ence of fruit diseases and insects as
affected by the weather conditions
during the past two weeks was given
by DR.. J. f. Adams, plant pathologist
of the University of Delaware and
the State Board of Agriculture, in
the eighth edition of orchard spray
notes under date of June 13, copies
of which have been mailed from the
office of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson to all the fruit growers in
Kent county.
In commenting upon the plant dis
ease situation, DR.. Adams stated that
apple scab infection of the fruit
and leaves is more spotted through
out the state this season than it was
at this time last year. The rain on
May IL seriously weakened the spray
coverage for the control of this dis
ease, and with the heavy discharge
of spores there resulted favorable
conditions for infection. Examina-
tons of infected orchards during the
past week, however, indicated that
the scab has been sufficiently check
ed, and with the application of the
third cover spray the growers should
not experience further trouble with
this disease for this season.
For this third cover spray on late
apples, which will prove important
for the control of blotch, bitter rot,
fruit spot and codling moth, the
growers have been advised to use
lime sulphur gallons, pounds of
dry arsenate of lead, pint of fish
oil, and 5 pounds of hydrated lime
per 100 gallons of spray solution. If
hot weather or drought occurs, dry
mix 25 pounds, or self-bOiled lime
sulphur 16-16-100 should be substi-
tuted for the liquid lime sulphur
spray. Where Bordeaux mixture is
substituted for either of these ap-
plications, the 4-10-100 formula
should be used.
Referring to the cOdling moth sit
uation, DR.. L. A. Stearns, entomology
ist of the Delaware experiment sta
tion, reported that the moth emerg-
ence has practically ended, and also
that the emsrgence this spring was

situation of the past two years,
which should be more favorable for
control this season. The banding of
apple trees is the logical procedure
if maximum control of this insect is
to be secured, and the fruit growers
have been warned again concerning
te Importance of thorough sanitation
practices IN and around the packing
houses at this time.
In regard to the spraying of peach
es, DR.. Adams recommended that the
second cover spray should be ap-
piled this week, using either the dry /
mix (sulphur-lime) at the rate of 25 /
pounds to 100 gallons of water, or

BONUS DEMANDS

Several thousand veterans of the
World War swOoped down on the
National Capital to demand further
bonus legislation at the hands of
Congress. The American Legion in
its national convention at Detroit
pledged President Hoover and the
country that it would not add to the
troubles of the United States through
attempts to secure large additional
bonus appropriations. The national
organization has kept its pledge.
From every part of the country
came the ex-veterans and they be-
came very emphatic in their de-
mands. The members of Congress
resented the coercive method of the
bonus seekers. And still, everyone
felt sorry Tor these men = going
about things in the wrong way-but
not knowing the right way.
When the war began the United
States provided insurance for every
soldier. Everyone proclaimed the
plan as the generous act of rich ma
ton. Afterwards provisions were
made for loans upon the insurance
policies. Then came payments made
on the policies. By the bonus legis-
lation in 1881 the insurance features
of the entire plan became demoral-
lied. If Congress could accede to
the demands now being made the sol
diers would be paid in full on their
policies. The provisions for later
years and old age would be entirely
wped out and the policies would be
paid up.
What then? To this question the
who have been in Wash
ingtOn have furnished the answer

CHAPTER w
Two Leaders

Many of the younger generation today think of
Washington as a myth and of Dubois as a back number.
But at the time that / began my Investigations these two
men filled the stage, overshadowing other figures. And
with due respect to the youth of the present time, they
were greater figures than the new generation has yet
produced.
Of Washington I can only speak as a casual
acquaintance. He was far too busy a man to give his
time to a woman Of very moderate means who, if she
subscribed at all to his school, would not be able to go
beyond the ten dollar bill. He meant Tuskegee to be
one of the best-equipped, best-taught schools in America.
Such time as he could take from his work, his home and
his friends was needed in making contacts that would
bring him large returns.
| first met him through John E. Milholland at the
Hotel Manhattan where he always stayed. He gave

gro to be a good worker. and Other
needful things will be added"
But when Washington rose
to power, other things were
taken away.
To vote i the South became
impossible.
School funds were voted by
the legislature according to the
per capita population, and di-
vided by the whites among
themselves. This gave the
southern portion of state like
Alabama an enormous advan-
tage over the northern part
where there were no Negro
children to be counted out.
Public opinion, moreover, de-
manded that the Negroes should
not complain. They mist work
hard and live on friendly relations
with their white neighbors. In the
cities Negro quarters were unim-
proved, high schools did not exist
and should not be demanded. In
dustrial education was enough. This
affected the schools supported by
philanthropy.
Even Fisk Universit. had to in
troduce industrial training. And
Washington said nothing against
this. He probably felt that it was
his job to look after his school. Let
others look out for themselves.
A Recommendation from Booker r,
I used t. amused and saddened
by what I saw. Before long I was
known as one interested in the Ne
gro and I had many calls from col
ored men and women who needed
money for their work. Almost in
variably they began by handing me
some recommendation from Wash
ington endorsing them. 1t might be
a note or perhaps only a newspaper
clipping. 1t was presented as more
precious than gold. I would say
casually: "But I am rot in Sympa-
thy with DIR. Washington's opinion.
industrial! training is only a small
part of what the fTegro needs"
Then it WIS as though an actor
dropped his mask. One man said
to me with tears in his eyes: 1--we
sat on Washington's doorstep for
four years to get this piece Of paper.
1 couldn't raise a penny without it.
Four years"
When the mask was dropped, !
would have a real talk, a talk as
between equals, and I would learn
that every Negro worth his salt
wanted the same thing, his rights
as a citizen of this republic.

whole problem. Cease to think of
lynchings, of Unjust ce, of the loss of
the ballot. Help the Negro to help
himself. Make the Negro a good
workman by giving money to Tus-
kegee. Washington was greeted with
acclaim and with profound relief.
He lectured in the largest hall the
town he visited could offer and saw
many turned away. Large gifts of
money came to him and TuSkegee
grew.
Monroe Trotter Resists;
Lands i'm Jail
From the beginning there was an
element among the Negroes that
viewed the situation with alarm.
Monroe Trotter of Boston was the
first to offer resistance and landed
in Jail.
Jealousy of Washington's power
grew. He held the purse strings.
Whom he endorsed received dollars
for their enterprises. while those he
failed to endorse had to be con-
tented with stray pennies.
The whites wrote to him about
everything-the number of bath

Washington was too lc,el-headed to

followers, not equals. A stream of
young teachers entered Tuskegee
one year and a swi%ft-running rill
left it the next. Some felt the
place too much a spectacle. They
could no longer endure the process

lcipal failed to uphold their authori-
lty with their pupils. And outside
the school, from Monroe Trotter on,
men began to question Washing
tons leadership.
