Sign-Ub Meetings For Soils
PROGRAM Closes Saturday
Indications Point To Larger
Sign-up Than In '36-Com-
mitteemen Elected

Soils conservation checks were
distributed last week to 1888 farm
ers and landowners In Stearns
county. These checks totalled
5000, 900 and represent a little less
than half the payments that are
due to come in the county on the
1895 program. Other checks should
be reaching the county very soon,
said Ed Lenzmeier, county agent.
Applications on the 1887 soils
conservation program are now be-
ing received at the County Agents
office at st. Cloud and at the sign
up meetings scheduled in various
communities over the county.
These sign-up meetings will be
brought to q close on Saturday
night Of this week and will be fol-
lowed by work Of the community
committeeman in the different
townships Of the county. While no
information Is available as to the
participation that will result in the
1887 program, all indications seem
to point TO larger sign-up than
the county had in 1885.
Operators and landlords who
have not yet made application to
participate in the program for
1887 can do so after this week by
making application at the county
agents office, st. Cloud, or con-
tacting the committeeman for the
township in which the farm is To-
Gated. The committeeman elected
for this work are as follows:

The program is flexible enough
to permit old and new signers to
come in on the program. For all
parties that were in last year soil
depicting and soil conserving bases
have been worked out. A good
many farmers that were in last
year as well as others that were
not in will find it possible to get
some payments on soil conservation
acreage that they now have. At
the time of the sign-up they will be
given information as to how much
additional new seeding is necessary
to put them in line for maximum
pay in 1887.

REPORTS ORGANIZING
OF NEGRO WORKERS IN
SOUTH TOBACCO PLANTS

New York; Columbus Aston, a
leader of the Southern Negro Youth
Conference, told cheering audience
at the national convention of the
Young Communist League in this
city that 300 Negro tobacco workers
had been organized by the Southern
Youth Conference in three hours,
while this had not been accomplished
in eight years by other less progress
sive forces"
The Tobacco Steamers and Labor
ers Union, he said, in three day
strike forced the Carrington-Mitchell
tobacco plant to grant 20 per cent
increase in wages, union recognition,
an 8-hour day, time and half for
overtime, and no Saturday work.
There are about $50 Negro workers
in the plant, averaging about "a
years of age, Aston stated.
''The IN Vaughn Company, another
plant in Virginia, heard about the
victory and we didn't even have to
strike before they signed up" Aston
continued.
Ten recent strikes among Negro
youth in Southern Negro colleges
show that Negro youth "are becom-
ing more articulate" and are demand
ing the right to self-government and
student freedom, Aston asserted,

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY
HOUSE BACKS TEAM

The Phyllis Wheatley Settlement
House has entered it's baseball team
in the Minnesota Valley league, an
amateur baseball League composed of
teams representing Bloomington,
Belle Plain, Prior Lake, Jordan, and
Shakopee. The team is made up of
members of the Cardinal club of
Phyllis Wheatley, club whose mem
bership consists of some of the lead
ing athletes turned out in recent
years by Minneapolis high schools.
Burton Lewis, former South high bas-
ketball and baseball star, will handle
the pitches of Donald Strawder, for
mer North high luminary, and Min
zie Davis, recently with the Colored
Gophers. Among those trying for in
field berths are: Stafford Lott, North
high; Red Martin, Leroy Reese, Ev-
erett Vaughn, Donald Sessions, Bar
nell Breedlove, and Charles Miller.
Outfield posts will go to Ward Bell,
Cozwell Breedlove, Lawrence Brown,
with Strawder and Davis working the
gardens when they are not on the
mound. 1t is possible that Bill Free
man, foremose N. w. Negro hurler,
and Billy Roach may throw some
games for these youngsters. Ed jack
son, veteran catcher, will do some of
the work behind the plate. Sport
writer's and N. W. unpires were en-
Unused with the pep and dash the
Cardinals displayed even though they
lost Sunday to Bloomington, 1915.
Minnie Davis went the whole route
and might have eked out victory
had not errors come at crucial mo-
ments. However, the prospects for
another great colored baseball team
look good to Coach Sylvester Carter,
who has seen baseball come and go
for many seasons around Mime
apolis. AS all of the games are
played within a radius of 80 miles,
the boys are looking for many Min
neapolis fans to follow them. The
game Sunday, May 16, is called for
2:3O at Prior Lake.
