Negro Achievement
Medal Awarded
! Tuskegee Leader

NEW YORK.-The 18th award of
the Spingarn medal, given annually
for highest achievement to some
United States citizen of African
descent, goes to Major Robert Russo
Motion, principal of Tuskegee lnsti-
tute.. The gold medal, given by J. E.
Spingarn, N. A. A. C. P. president,
will be presented to Major Motion
Mt the 23rd annual conference of
the N. A. A. c. P. in Washington next
May. 45
In making the award the commit
tee stated that it had been made to
"Robert Russia Motion for his
thoughtful leadership of conservative
opinion and action on the Negro IN
the United States, as shown in the
u. s. Veterans Hospital controversy
at Tuskegee; by his stand on educa-.
ton in Haiti; by his support of equal
opportunity for the Negro in the
American public school system; and
BY his expression of the. best ideals
Of the Negro in his book what the
Negro Thinks"
The committee on award of the
SbinRarn medal consists of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, governor of the
Philippine Islands; James H. billiard
of the Jeanes and Slater Funds;
Oswald Garrison Willard. editor of
The Nation; DIR. John Hope, presi-
dent of Atlanta University; DR..
Mordecai w. johnson. president of
Howard University; DR.. w. E. B.
Du Bots, editor of The Crisis and
Edwin r. Embree, president of the
Rosenwsld Fund.
The Veterans Hospital controver-
sy. referred to in the terms of the
award, assumed for a time the as
pect Of an exceedingly menacing in
cident. When it was proposed to
appoint colored doctors to Tuskegee
Veterans Hospital, for which the in.
stitute had volunteered land, strong
opposition developed against these
appointments in favor of white
medical staff The Ku Klux Khan be
came active and conducted a parade
in the neighborhood of Tuskegee
and Threats were made against the
institution and Major Motion,
So serious did the situation be
come that the N.A.A.C.P. appealed
to the. President to send troops tc
protect Tuskegee if that SHOULD
prove to be necessary. Major Motor
stood firm on the issue of coloret
doctors and they now are in full
charge of the Veterans Hospital.
In Haiti Major Motion stood fol
a complete system of education in
stead of the so-called agriculture
education which United States au
thorities had been championing a
the expense of public schools ant
higher training.
al In federal education Major Motor
only last year stood against the ma
jority of President Hoover's com
mission. who were recommending
national aid to education withou
curtailing the right of Souther
states to discriminate on lines o
race. . s

being washed from the root zone. Large
amounts of water on shallow rooted
crops where only the first two feet re-
quire moisture is uneconomical and un-
necessary, especially where water short
age occurs. Much better results could
be obtained by keeping the surface
soil moist. Soil organisms which manu-
facture much plant food from organic
matter have about the same water re-
quirement as plants. Therefore,
warm moist condition is required for
these organisms to do their best work.
AS the majority of these organisms
live near the surface of the soil it
is advantageous to keep the surface
soil moist. It has been found at the
Irrigation Branch Experiment Station
that seasonal conditions are closely
allied with frequency OF irrigation.
Therefore, 1t is advisable to irrisate
according to seasonal conditions as
we'll as according to the character Of
the soil.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-10-27
THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION
OF IRRIGATION WATER

In a recent report from the Irriga
ton Branch Experiment Station, the
method of calculating the amount of
water applied to a piece of land was
explained. If this procedure is followed
it will be evident when too much wa
ter or too little water is applied to the
soil. In order to determine the reser-
voir capacity of the soil the type of
soil must be investigated by the farm
er. For example, if the soil is sandy
and only three feet deep, the water
holding capacity for each foot of soil
may range from two acre inches to
three acre inches, depending upon the
size of the soil particles. Whereas,
for silt loan or fine sandy loan soil,
the reservoir capacity for each foot
may be from three to four acre inches.
In the case of the sandy soils more
frequent irrigations are required to
create continuous moist condition.
Teaching of sandy soil is generally
detrimental because of the plant food

This is a One Over One force.
If North had opened with very
weak bid, he has the right to pass
this One Over One force-in other
words, a player having originally
passed, as South did, practically
loses his right to force.
However, hearts were the only bid
that North could not play, and as
his hand had strength in every suit,
he now was correct in making a
bid of one no trump, which is a
sign-off bid, showing that he did
not care to proceed further with
the hand unless South showed adj
ditional encouragement.
South now showed his second suit
with bid of two diamonds lit
tie dangerous, but two f1ve-carders
certainly may aid to build up no
trump.
With the showing Of South's sec
ond suit, North jumped to three no
trump.
The Play
East opened the only suit not bid
spade-which West won with the
ace. West returned the three of
spades, his fourth best, which was
won by North with the jack, heart
being discarded from dummy.
The queen of diamonds was led;
East won with the ace, and next
led the jack of hearts. West played
the encouraging nine and North
won with the ace.
North played the king of clubs,
which East won with the ace. East
played the ten of hearts, dummy
winning with the king. North dis
carding club.
An interesting squeeze play now
developed. A small diamond was
returned from dummy. West discard
ng a club and declarer winning with
the nine.
Declarer cashed his queen of
spades, discarding heart from
dummy. He then played small
diamond, winning in dummy with
the king, West discarding a spade.
Declarer then led the two dia-
monds from dummy and West was
squeezed. He could discard his
queen Of hearts on the first diamond,
but on the second diamond ne must
drop either spade or a club.
If a spade is dropped, declarer's
seven is good, while if club is
played, both declarer's clubs will be
good. In this. manner North and
South made four odd at no trump.
