which Negro farmers went in

Arkansas, by l,770 in South Caro-
lima, by 1856 in Oklahoma, and
dy 1873 in Texas.
Wage Board Named
Secretary Wickard has named
an agricultural wage board to
open hearings in New Jersey to de
telminc the prevailing wage for
workers to harvest apples and
other important war crops. This
step was taken to protect both the
farmers and the migratory work
ers, many of whom are Negroes.
Wartime Meat Program
+ There will be five percent less
lamb and mutton, 20 percent less
beef and veal, and Is percent less
pork for civilian use between now
and Christmas than there was dur
ing the same period last year.
Civilians are being asked to volun
tarily limit themselves to 2 IL
pounds of meat per person per
week. This does not mean that
there is less meat in the country
now than there was last year; in
fact there is more. But in order
to insure adequate supplies for our
irmed forces and our allies, pack.
er deliveries of meat for civilian
consumption are being limited.

The Seventh Anniversary of the

the realm Of Negro Journalism.
Floyd j. Calvin began his news

short years his syndicate was SER

inspiring personal career was ter

Champion Cotton Picker
Elijah Gordon, 40 is the worlds
new champion cotton picker He
won the title and 81 900 at Blythe
vile, Arkansas last week. Mr.
Gordon is married and has four
children. He says he's going to
use part of the money to build him
self a home. zone that don't
have to pay rent on, and one that
doesn't leak" As for the rest,
well, he's going to add to the $50
worth Of War Bonds and STAMPS
he has already bought with cotton
picking money
Mr.. Gordon, who sometimes picks
500 pounds Of cotton a day, picked
lO2 pounds in two hours in the con
test. This wasn't the most picked
by contestants, but his cotton was
the cleanest, and his row was in
the best condition. The judges
based the decision on these three
factors; weight, cleaness of cot
ton, condition of row. Two former
champions, both white. were de-
feated The National Cotton Pick
ing Association sponsored the con-
test.

God deals in the lives Of men and

of men afar. He knows our pos

exist, and that brotherly love may
characterize the nations and peo-
pie Of The earth. We are fighting
a righteous war. Resistance to
