The Negro Question and Problem

PHILADELPHIA, July 5 By A. E.
White for ANP)-The Republican party
spoke out determinedly Wednesday and
without biting its tongue, said of the
Negro question and problem in this
country:
We pledge that our American citi
zens of Negro descent shall be given
square deal in the economic and
political life of this nation. Discrimj-
nation in the civil service, the army,
navy and all other branches of the
government must Be enacted. To enjoy
full benefits of life liberty and the
pursuit of happiness universal suffrage
must be made effective for the Negro
citizen. Mob violence shocks the con
science of the nation and legislation
to curb this evil should be enacted
Credit is due 70 the courageous and
persistent group of members who were
IN the program committee of the Re
publican policy forming group who
insdxted that the platform committee
adopted some outspoken plan in the
platform which would guarantee the
Negro the consideration due him.
Already the plank has
received the commentator and approval
OF the majority of the Negro delegates
who see in it pledge which the party
WILL keep. .... ..

Farming Advanced
BY New Machinery

Trend in farm machinery toward
durability, simplicity, speed, and
convenience Of operation, says w.
M. Hurst Of the United States bu-
reau Of agricultural engineering.
probably has affected American
agriculture as much as, If not more
than, development Of the reaper and
steel pillow a century ago."
The gas tractor has been on the
market for nearly 40 years. But
only during the past 10 or IL years
has a unit suitable for planting and
cultivating row crops, for blowing,
disking, and belt work, been avail
able. OF all generalpurpose trac-
tors manufactured in 1887 nearly
50 per cent were on rubber. Pneu-
matte tires not only permit higher
speed In field operations but make
possible road hauling with trailers.
Adapting field machinery to use
with tractors" says Mr.. Hurst,
constitutes the major recent de-
velopment In what is generally
known as farm implements. A new
pillow, for instance, may look about
the same as its predecessor, but on
examination it will be found to be
made of better material to have
greater beam clearance for turning
under trash, the shape Of the mold
board Of some is such as to permit
higher speed, and attachments are
available for increasing effective
ness in turning under cover crops"

his cousin, Mr.. Robert Allnutt,
journeyed to the State of Mime

was employed as surveyor for a
large mining company. Returning
to this county, the rest of his life
was spent here with his relatives
and friends, and being actively en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits in
addition to his duties as a director
of this bank. The welfare of the
county, and of this institution, was
always foremost in his efforts.
Mr.. Darby was one of the mem.
bers of the Executive Committee
of this Institution, Chairman OF
the Board at its Poolesville branch
and always prompt in his attend.

his manner courteous and polite
his intentions honorable. He
therefore, gained the respect Of al
of US in a high degree. His place
as a Director of this Bank will bt

loss to the Institution.
In appreciation of his honest en-
deavors for the Farmers Banking
and Trust Company of Montgom

Home Raising Of Foods
Is Good Farm Practice

Nome production of dairy and
poultry products, fruits, vegetables,
and meat from animals fed and
butehered on the farm offers two
way advantage 10 families with low
cash incomes, the new department
az agriculture yearbook points out.
Homegrown foods usually improve
the diet-beth IN quality and guam
tity-and they release for other pur.
poses money that would otherwise
be paid out for food.
In q recent survey Of living costs
on farms, food economists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture were able to group "a fanni-
nes-each Of which had about $3.50
q year to spend for the family Iv-
ing. and each consisting Of a hus-
band and wife and one child under
1e years Of age-on the basis Of
how much food was produced on
the farm.
Money expenditures for food
dropped steadily as home produc-
ton increased. Some Of these fami-
lies produced more than $500 worth
Of food on the farm and spent only
about $3.50 for food. At the other
end, part Of the families raised only
about 500 worth Of food and bought
about 5000 worth. The economists
estimate that such a family would
spend about $685. cash II 1t did not
raise any food. Families producing
the highest money values in food
were in general the best fed.

CARE OF POULTRY

Special Measures Are Nee

By C. F.. PARRISH

The health and egg production
Of the poultry flock next fall will be
in proportion to the care given the
pullets this summer.
One Of the first ''musts" in the
growers program should be the pro-
viding Of clean ground not used by
poultry for at least two years to
range the pullets.
Then, too, an open. air summer
range shelter should be located in
a corn or soybean field, orchard,
lespedeza pasture. or some other
location where ample green feed
and shade are available.
An ample supply of tender green
feed win cut the feed bill greatly.
as well as result in more healthy
flock. Soybeans planted In rows or
in corn make an ideal shade and
source Of green feed during hot dry
weather. It is also important that
the pullets have plenty Of fresh wa
ter supplied in q cool, shady place
at all times.
At least once a day, in the late
afternoon. the pullets should be fed
literally on whole yellow corn and
whole oats. Also the birds need q
high quality growing or developing

Of Americas hogs are raised west

Native trees or shrubs transplant

to keep alive. Those from open spots
