RIGA, settled by peoples of many re-

sident of the University of Moth

Gently before the National Conference

The Conference is being held here

He stressed the view that the Anne

greater service to the world at this
function than "the demonstration OF
the possibility of many diverse groups

tual helpfulness. Understanding re-

."True freedom of self-expression
leads neither to self-exploitation nor

NEGRO FARMERS TO
HAVE PLENTY FOOD
Rain Damage to Money
Crops in Tarboro Section
Didn't Hurt Foods

Tarboro, July IA. - Reports that
many Negro tenant farmers will have
to go on relief this winter because
of heavy rain damage to their to-
bacco, cotton, and peanuts are dis
credited by f. d. Wharton, Negro
farm agent of the State College ex-
tension service. -"
The damage to these money crops
will cut their cash income, he admits,
but he sees no reason for shortage
of food, and most of the farmers in
this section have other sources Of
cash income TO which they can turn.
"The rain has not killed our chick
ems, hogs, and cows, and we still
have time to produce most of the
feed that they will need" the agent
continued.
IT see no reason for a shortage of
vegetables, as it is possible to plant
from now until fall practically any
of the crops that could have been
planted between January 1 and July
1. Any of our tenant farm families
can grow and can or otherwise pre-
serve enough food to supply them
through the fall, winter, and spring
months.
eff a tenant doesn't have the
money or credit to buy garden seeds,
the sale of a few chickens, water
melons, or vegetables in Rocky Mount
or Tarboro will bring him more than
enough to buy all the seed he will
need"
Wharton added that landlords can
do much to help their tenants by
pointing out what can yet be done
to produce food and feed crops this
year and to make the most of the
different sources of cash income that
are available.
