Negro Students Get
High Marks In Test

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The
age-old axiom that Negroes are
"dumber than white people" was
refuted when an actual test OF
intelligence of both races was
held and the Negroes came out
on top.
Thomas E. Davis, of Fisk Uni
versity, during an investigation
looked up the intelligence tests
given to white and Negro college
students in the South and the
results were startling. The test,
the Thurstone Psychological Ex-
animation, is given annually to
several hundred colleges in the
Freshman class.
When the tests were given at
Fisk in 1929 the Fisk freshmen
had an average score of 1903;
while at the University of Geor-
gia, white, the score was 80; the
University of South Carolina
chalked up a score of 81; and
the Alabama State Teachers
College, a white school located
just so miles from Decatur,
made one of the lowest scores in
the United States, 80.

American producers Is that the British
cement matches fully In quality and
strength the cement produced by the
most efficient factory in the United
States.
A comparison of prices shows that
the American cement Is selling in New
York today at Sl.54 barrel. The fact
that it costs SIPS to produce that bar
rel of cement shows how closely the
his price to meet the British competi-
ton. The American price of $154 is
equal to 80 cents a barrel at the mill.
This makes the American price actually
80 cents below the cost of production.
On the other hand, the British agents
are offering British cement in the New
York market at $1.35 a barrel. Taking
the British price, and deducting there

for ocean freight, 10 centsTor lighterage
and storage, 4 cents for demurrage, l
cent for insurance, 10 cents sales cost
Of the New York agent and II cents
packing, the price at the British mill is
brought down to 81 cents barrel.
Comparing this 37-cent cost at the
mill in England with the total pay roll
of 81 cents a barrel in America, the
domestic manufacturer complains, what
possibility is there of the American in
dustry making an adequate defense?
Resist American Price.
How does that affect our industry?"
the American manufacturers ask. "Ob-
viously, the quotation of any quantity
the Offering of any quantity to the
trade buying from these United States
mills at price lower than the current
market price of the domestic cement,
creates in the mind of the buyer the
thought that he should get the cheaper
article-not cheaper in quality, because
the quality Is the same, but cheaper in
price. AS a result, these buyers are
constantly endeavoring to pull down the
American price.
Unless this industry can get back to
its cost Of production, then first the lit
tie fellows are going, and some have al
ready shut down, and then the bigger
fellows, and lastly the companies at the
top will close down, and we mean the
companies that have plenty of capital
to last through an ordinary storm.

because control of the market price

Finally one member of the gang con-
fessed that the food, consisting mostly
Of meat, had been placed on the roof

be robbed, break in and then transport
away as much as the car would hold.
Most of the loot is thought to have
been marketed among the colored popu-
lation of Southwest Washington.
Last night was the third occasion the
gang is thought to have broken into

FARM RELIEF
LEGISLATION
Agricultural Adjustment Act
Relates to Control of Pro-
ductiOn as to Demands
FARM RELIEF MEASURES

Farmers throughout the nation
today are deeply interested in the
objects and purposes of the farm
relief legislation which was passed
recently by Congress, and numer-
Gus inquiries are being received at
the offices of county agents and at
agricultural colleges in regard to
the ways by which these relief
measures will help agriculture out
of its depressed situation. One of
these farm relief measures is the
Agricultural Adjustm N Act
which relates to the control of pro-
duction Of farm products in accord
ance with the market demands as
a means of raising farm prices.
The success of this Act and its
administration, however, depends
very largely upon the farmers
themselves, for without their CO.
operation and support this relief
measure will fail. In discussing
this subject through the press and
over the radio, Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, has plac-
ed special emphasis upon the fact
that participation in this agricul-
tural adjustment program must be
voluntary on the part of the farm
ers, and this fact was made clear
in the following statement which
has been released for publication:
''The right sort of farm and nation
al relief should encourage and
strengthen farmer cooperation. /
believe we have in this new law the
right sort of stimulus to that end.
\ Unless, as we lift farm prices, we
also unite to control production,
this plan viii not work for long,
and the only way we can effectively
control production for the long
pull is for you farmers to organize,
and stick, and do it yourselves. The
act offers you promise of a bal
anced abundance, a shared pros
perity, and richer life. 1t will
work if you make it yours and if
you will make it work" Govern
ment officials cannot and will not
go out and work for private busi-
nesses. A farm is a private bust
ness, so is a farmers cooperative,
and so are all the great links in
the food distributing chain. Gov
ernment men cannot and will not
go out and plow down old trails
for agriculture, nor build for the
distributing industries new roads
out of the woods. The growers
the professors, the carriers and
sellers of food must do that for
themselves. This Act is not q
hand-out measure. 1t does pro-
vide new Governmental machinery
which can be used by all who labor
to grow and to bring us food and
fabrics, to organize, to put their
businesses in order, and to make
their way together out of wilder
ness of economic desolation ano
waste"
