Texas Negro Discusses
Cotton Situation

Washing on, Dec. 30 (By A. l..
lolsey for ANP)-Offcials Of the
Department of Agriculture were
much impressed with a recent letter
from Charles Lee, Negro farm + of
Sulphur Springs, Texas in which
he discussed the present farm sit
n%at'on. Mr.. Lee. who is vice presi-
dent Of the Texas Negro Farmers
Council of Agriculture, set forth in
his'sletter a proposal for meeting
the present. agricultural crisis.
One of the mooted questions in
cident to the farm bill passed by
The Senate, is to what uses divert
ed lands in the cotton states may
be used without. serious competi-
ton with the feed producing states
Of the middle west.
Concerning this point, Mr.. Lee
states: Il suggest that each cot
ton producing state and finally each
cotton producing farm be allowed
produce to full strength for foreign
consumption and compete in the
world markets for whatever price
he can obtain. This method will
provide a use for land that would
otherwise be diverted to other
crops in competition with the agri-
cultural setup of other sections of
the country
Mr.. Lee also discussed unemploy-
ment, the processing tax, acreage
quotas, etc, in their relation to
farm problems.

CHAPTER II

The backyard lawn of the Hugh
Marshes was yelled in the translu-
cent light which comes just before
darkness. The west was a faint
saffron streaked with mauve; birds
talked in sleepy twitterings; a
wood dove cooed in a willow.
Dorrie reclined on a wicker
chaise Tongue and Hugh sat near
her smoking a pipe. Hugh's eyes
were on the arabesque pattern
of the trumpet vine.
Dorrie allowed the evening pa
per to drift to the ground. Hugh,

"M-mm."
Aren't you Interested? Did you
hear what l said?"
THAT you are lazy? Yes, l

do about it."
She shrugged and a curling smil
that he never liked to see crept
around her mouth.
1T means nothing that you have
a lazy wife,"

house-curtains, cushions. Your
clothes-you spend a lot of time

Harold Sherman told me about
an incident on Forty-fourth street
near the City club. A pedestrian
stopped at a stand and bought a
big red apple. Stepping TO the curb,
he took just one bite when the apple
was yanked from his hand. Looking
behind him. he saw it being re-
duced to pulp in the mouth Of the
steed of a mounted policeman. AR
rest that horse!" he, shouted, He's
a thief"
The officer explained that the
horse. was so accustomed to apple
gifts he looked on an apple in a
mans hand as his own property.
81 withdraw the charge, SAID the
loser, regarding the horse intently.
Hes having such a good time with
that apple, he's welcome to it."
The proprietor Of n of those
little ne~ighborhood shops that seem
to be open at all hours of the day
and night was faced with a problem
"a 10 per cent increase in rent.
AS that would just about take the
profits out of the business, much
floor walking ensued. Finally he
reached the answer-he bought the
building and raised all rents except
his own.

Escaped Prisoner Is
Forced to Give Up

Brazoria, Texas, Dec. 80 (ANP)
Sylvester Kennedy, 81 year old
convict, who escaped from the
Clemens prison farm near here a
week ago, crawled out of the river
bottoms near Sacramento last week
and gave himself up to a railway
section foreman. Kennedy's escape
had indirectly led to the Staying of
Deputy Sheriff ]. A. Harness, who
was shot by a white farmer who
mistook the deputy for the escap-
ed convict.
Kennedy's tale of terror, priva-
lions, hunger and exposure was
born out by his condition when
taken to the prison farm. He was
near exhaustion from exposure and
hunger, his feet We're badly LAGER
ated and swollen he could hardly
stand on them and he was quaint to
to an extreme.
He said he had gone barefoot
for several days and had held up
a white farmer to get food and
clothing, On leaving the farm
house he took an oil lamp with
him and bathed his tired, aching
feet in kerosene, which caused
them to blister.
His terror was caused by being
chased for severald avs by ferci-
Gus blood hounds. When he got be-
yond walking he crawled.
His condition is such that prison
officials said he would be unable 10

Fertilizer Makes Legumes
Better Nitrogen Factories


Legumes are natural nitrogen
factories, but their production may
be Increased with the use of phos-
phorus and potash.
Many farmers grow legumes as
green manure crops because they
collect nitrogen from the air and
put II into the soil. Applications
of phosphorus and potash to le-
gumes stimulate their growth, en-.
abling them to produce more nj
trogen than If they did not receive
these fertilizer materials. These are
not wasted as they are available
for the next crop as corn or cot.
ton when the legumes are plowed
under and decay.
BY this method the farmer gains
the use of three fertilizer mate
rails for other crops although he
applied only two.
Phosphorus and potash applied to
legHmes when grown as a green
manure crop help to produce heay-

Money once before was appro-

Nebraska led out in this observa-

ere told that trees help to produce
moisture and rain in general.
Therefore trees have sex RI in
dispensable values, such as wood
for lumber, furn ture and feul,
fruit. shade and moisture. Some
trees are more valuable than
others but each has its Importance.
OF the righteous and those that
mourn in Zion, the prophet said;
that they might be cslled trees

ist declares that the trees Of the
Lord are full Of sap Ps. 104:16.
Since we realize that eve ybody

that "a good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a cor
rupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tee that Lringeth not good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into

as our natural trees are important
