Cumulose Soil-Building Material

Cumulose Soil-Building Material
Parent soil materials are said to
be "cumulose" when they are
formed on the edges of ponds and
lakes, and in swamps, by the con-
tinued addition of new vegetable
matter which, by reason of it's ac-
emulation under water or where
it is very wet, undergoes only par
tial decomposition. Such deposits
of peat or muck may range from a
few acres to hundreds, or even to
thousands of acres in extent. Such
soils in different parts of the coun-
try are used extensively for the
growing of celery, onions and 9TH
er truck crops, and in some of the
mid-western states they are used,
on a large scale, for the growing of
alfalfa, potatoes, and mint, grown
for it's oil.

NEW YORK - Formal demand
was made today of Homer S. Cum

that the Department of Justice
prosecute John Cashion of Wilkes
boro, N. c. for arbitrarily re-
fusing to register qualified Negro
voters and for refusing to allow
them to vote in the general cleo

NAACP reminds Mr.. Cummings
that this violation of the Federal
Constitution was reported to the
Department of Justice by Profess
sor w. H. Hannum of Salisbury,
N. c. more than six months ago.
The Attorney Generals office at
that time referred the case to Mr..
Carlisle w. Higgins, U. S. Artor-
ney for the Middle District Of N.
c., with offices at Greensboro. The
supposed investigation was made
by T. N. Stapleton of Charlotte,
NC, special agent for the Depart

that written statements were filed
by fourteen Negro compliments,
no Federal agent interviewed these
compliments, except that one ag-
