Census Valuable
For Farm Plans

During the past three years
when Ohio farmers and mem
bers of the agricultural extern
sion service, Ohio State univer-
sity, took an inventory of the
farm resources Of the state they
went to the census records to
get a comparison of present and
past farming conditions.
In Paulding county, Donald
C. Foster, agricultural agent,
says the local committee found
that average corn yields for the
county had decreased six BUSH
els an acre in the 20 years from
1910 to 1880 and that oat yields
had similarly declined. In 1890,
80 per cent of Paulding county
farms were operated by their
owners; but in 1885, owners
worked only So. per cent of the
farms in the county.
The peak of population occur
red in Paulding county in 1890,
with 27,000 persons being count
ed by the census takers. The
population now is between $4,000
and $4,000, no one will know the
exact number until the 1910 CEN
sus figures are available.
Those facts revealed by the
census are important in plan
ming a future farming program
for the county. 1t becomes ap-
parent that the present day
Paulding county farmer is work
ing almost twice as many acres
as one man was able to till in
1890. Modern machinery has
made that possible.
The 1910 census will show a
change in sources of farm in
come in that county. Produc-
ing tomatoes for canneries is
one of the important changes in
farming. Sugar beets are anoth-
er crop that interrupted the
original rotation of corn, oats,
corn, and more oats which was
used when the land was cleared.

it'll The worst of it is after he's spent Oe hours at Il,
all that pushing persping and painting only adds up to
the price Of little cigarettes worth OF Electric Energy

And he can take it," and ambitiousy tries to compete
with whole klowatt-hOur of elecricity-which equals
1888 14 foot pounds of w0rk-he gardener would have
to push the barrow eight days of ten hours each!
This. simple comparison is amusing but true. =. The

Electric Energy equal to work that slave driver would
hesitate to impose another human being for less than
the price Of smoke By and large ELECTRICITY Is Cheap!

dean of Howard University, DR..
Kelly Miller, who passed away at
the turn Of the year, it is "the per-
suasive inducements of the New
Deal" which have bound the Negro
to its philosophy with hoops of
steel" Not long before DR.. Miller's
death this observer asked him to
forecast the direction the Negro vote
would take this year. In, what was
probably that respected colored
leaders political swan song, he de-
clared unequivocally that 1.-The great

corral the Negro vote as any other
element of strength Already the
Republicans have appointed DR..
Emmett j. Scott, distinguished,
persuasive politician, one time editor
OF a Texas Negro newspaper. erst-
while secretary to Booker T. WASH
lngton, later secretary of Howard
Unlversity-a man who knows the
rules of the political game-to bring
the wandering black sheep back into
the fold. The Democrats will doubt
less set up a competitive agency.
But the New Deal stands on its
record-a record warranting the
assertion that the vast majority of
the colored vote will adhere to the
Democratic party in 1910, as it did
in 80 and So This is no mere
wishful expression. 1t is based upon
dispaSsionate analysis of the facts

G. o. P.'Broke Promises to Negroes.
The strategy of Negro political
leaders in the past five presidential
campaigns" Dean Miller continued,
was to impress both parties with
the races Importance either as an
ally or as an opponent. The influ-
ence of these leaders sprang from
the fact that both parties believed
their contention might be true. Yet
the 20, "a, '28, '32 and SO elections
were won by such landslide propor-
tions that the Negro vote was COM
pletely wiped out. Harding, Coolidge,
Hoover and even Roosevelt, the lat
ter both times, would have won
triumphantly even if every Negro
had voted against them. Neither
side this year predicts victory by a
landslide. This uncertainty gives
the Negro vote strategic Importance.
"A careful or even a casual an
alysis Of its potentiality in the free
voting States of the North and West
clearly indicates that it's weight is
sufficient, to throw victory to one
side or the other. In at least
dozen States the Negro vote ex-
ceeds the margin by which either
party can reasonably hope to win.
The only question now is which par
ty will be the more seductive in
suing for the Negro's favor. Up to
Taft's time the Negro vote was
bound to the Republican party by
ties of gratitude ard tradition. But

ments Of the New Deal there has
been radical reversal of attitude.
The G. O. p, being in the minority
and without power, prestige or pa
tronage, no longer possesses any
concretely convincing appeal for the
Negro vote, especially in the big
Northern cities, where 1t is chiefly
concentrated. The Republican par
ty has abandoned the vital issues
OF human rights, on which it rose
10 power, and has long record of
broken promises with which it be-
guiled its black ally. It has there
fore lost its effective hold on the
Negroes allegiance.
Would Japan War Against EMBARGO?
Apropos former Secretary of State
Stimson's demand that Congress
embargo export of war materials to
Japan, it's timely to know what our
foremost authority on the current
Far Eastern situation says on that
score. He is Admiral Harry E. Var
nell, lately commander of United
States naval forces in Asia. The
New York Town Hall of the Air a
fortnight ago devoted its program to
the embargo. Yarnell was on the
panel. A heckler asked him point
blank: would Japan go to war with
us over an embargo?" Quoth the
