The farm labor situation
throughout certain sections of Ark
ansas is growing more acute daily.
There are several hundred bales
of cotton to be picked, hay to be
harvested, corn to be husked, sew
eral thousand acres of fall oats
and winter legumes to be planted.
This represents only a fraction
al part Of the total amount Of la
Dor needed on the farm. Knowing
that farming must be carried on,
every man, woman, boy, and girl
should feel personally RESPONSE
Bile for giving assistance in re
cruiting farm labor. This needs
to be done right there in your
community on your farm. When
you are through with your work
help your neighbor. Get a list Of
names OF persons IN your neigh
borhood who will hire themselves
out for a day, week, month, or
even longer, and mail or give
them to your county agent,
Remember friends, the big job
before us now is to save all of
the food, feed and fiber that we
have awaiting for the arrival of
some weary hand to deliver it to
its proper storage point. Whenl
work is completed in your neigh
borhood, there are thousands of
others crying for assistance. Your
local County Agent is in position
at all times to let you know just
who needs help and where you
can hire some labor. Whatever
you may do to help meet the farm
labor demand in Arkansas will
exemplify your patriotism.

the Schomburg collection and
$500 for the course in Negro his
tory which it is expected will be
taught by DR.. Reddick.
The local branch was renovated
two years ago and had an addi-
tional wing constructed which
made it the largest local library IN
the city. Since this time the en-
larged building, through its cir
culation department, its little
theatre the Schomburg collection OF
books on Negroes and allied acti-
vities has grown to community
center proportions. Many scholars,
professional people and fact find
ing individuals consider the branch
to be the most reliable research
center on Negroes in the country
DR.. L. r.. Re6dick, curator of the
Negro collection and Mrs Dorothy
E. Homer, local head of the branch,
were instrumental in securing the
additional funds for the library
Both, hoping to set a model library
center, are certain that the grant
will definitely carry through their
proposed plan.
The American Negro theatre,
organized in June, 1910 under the
direction of Abram Hill and man.
aged by Fred O'Neal, has establish
ed an unprecedented record in
training actors and producing plays
Strictly a cooperative venture, it
has risen to challenge the highest
artistic standards of the establish
ed theatre in America. The group
has produced four outstanding pro-
auctions which gave total of III
performances seen by over $4,000
people.
Winning the appreciation of New
York's severe critics and only last
week, April II, they presented an
all-Negro version of the John
Golden hit comedy g Is A Family,
the group made such favorable
impression on the General Educa-
ton board that the larger share OF
the grant is to go into the work OF
the American Negro theatre.
