Mixed Division
Gaining Impetus

This is parallel with the NAACP's
statement that the activation of a
racially mixed volunteer division
would give the lie to Na2i and

mination and segregation. 1t was
said that a special act of Congress
would be required to permit the

culture Claude R. Wickard has re-
vised the farm production goals for
1912. The new goals call for the
greatest production in the history
of American agriculture.
The Sec'y. points out that Negro
Americans, like all other Ameri-
cans, can play q big part in help
ing to reach these goals by hay
ing a larger vegetable garden, and
by raising more chickens, hogs and
cows. These, he says, will not only
insure a balanced diet Of nutritious
food for the farmer and his family,
hat the money he saves by grow
ing his own food will give him ex-
ira cash to lay-away in defense
bonds. The Secretary says many
farmers are already doing this in
the live-at-home program.
The new goals call for an in
crease in corn, more edible beans
and peas, five million more bushels
Of rice, ~ million more cases in
the pack Of canned fruits and vege-
tables than were produced in 1871,
More peanuts. soybeans, and flax
